- Admit it! You felt the same way about the 2023 Mitsubishi Outlander. Mitsubishi is like the new kid in school who you aren't sure if you should say hi to them. Well we are here to tell you, go say hi to that new kid because you may become best friends. The 2023 Mitsubishi Outlander is everything you have been needing in a SUV with the addition of a 3rd row offering room for 7. There is a lot to like about the 2023 Mitsubishi Outlander, and this week Brad and Jared want to focus on a few things to see if it really is that great. They look at the QUALITY of the Mitsubishi Outlander, the COST OF OWNERSHIP, and then tap into its RELIABILITY. These are three great areas to focus on when you might be new to a brand, much like Brad and Jared were. If you never considered the Mitsubishi Outlander before, we encourage you to watch this review. But, after it's all said and done, does the 2023 Mitsubishi Outlander get the "Hood Slap of Approval?" Check it out for yourself and see what you think.
**Thank you to Cambridge Mitsubishi for allowing us to review this 2023 Mitsubishi Outlander**

I drive almost all of the newer model SUV vehicles with my work. I do many hours of driving. The Mitsubishi is so far ahead of any other SUV. It’s so good I went and purchased one. So much to love about this SUV. Cost less to service than probably all of the other makes. 10 year full warranty. Fuel economy is incredible. And it’s made in Japan.
Sounds like a sweet job. It definitely would help with making a decision on what car to buy. We loved the Outlander too. Especially in this colour. What colour did you go with?
I would probably purchased white if I had more of a choice. I went for grey and looks so good. I purchased the 2nd model from the bottom. Because I use it as a work SUV and my cars have a hard life. Driving on dirt roads beaches and long road miles. It’s set up for television news . And carries about two hundred kgs of equipment in the back. Love this SUV
Rob, that’s awesome. Thanks for sharing. Definitely a sweet job. Enjoy your work horse and drive safe.
I couldn’t agree with you more….. I miss my Outlander soooo much 😂
Mazda regret here 🤣 Thank you, God Bless 🙏❤️
Come back to me in 5 years when it’s a piece of junk.
I own Mitsubishi since 90s , they aren’t new. This is better brand that Nissan, Honda, Toyota en others ❤
Ok let us ask you this, why are they better. We really liked the Outlander. But Mitsubishi isn’t a big brand in North America. We would love to hear your thoughts.
Bimbo comment. Smh.
Many of those who never thought of mitsubishi as their next car to own.. now considers it because of you two. Then go watch scotty kilmers review of this vehicle and the next thing you know is you're already ordering one.
To even be in the same sentence as his is a massive compliment. Thanks for watching. We appreciate your support. So, did you order one? :)
We have A 23 Outlander SEL Touring traded our 14,786 Mile SE and love our Mitsubishi! The Third Row is built for Miniatures (Children under 90#) S Octogenarians, we keep The Third Row folded Down and Enjoy The Car that We rate one of The top Ten Vehicles We Owned out of 122 Cars, Trucks and Motorcycles since 1957.
122 cars? Blimey! :)
Thanks for watching and for sharing your insight. We love hearing from viewers and owners as well. Keep on driving. Here is to many miles until you purchase number 123! :)
I just bought a ‘22 and love it, but I do agree the third row is nearly useless. There’s no spare tire because of a tiny third row that to use you need to move the second row up so far they have no space at all
I just learned that if you shift the first row and second row forward a little, you will have room for 2 adults in the third row. There's also a second adjustment in the third row that reclines the seats. For a more comfortable third row ride.
We bought the 2023 Outlander PHEV . It’s nicer than our old Caddy. Drives like a a dream.
Thanks for sharing. Was there much of a wait time for your PHEV? What’s your favourite part of it? We love hearing from owners.
Thanks again Lorraine. Enjoy your nice new ride.
I have been a fan of Mitsubishi for awhile now and currently own a couple of them. They have been great vehicles for me and my family and have been absolutely reliable. They made some bad decisions in the 2000's and the whole economy taking a dump around 2008-2010 didn't help. The new outlander is proof Mitsubishi still has fight in them and proof that can build a quality vehicle. I am seeing a lot more new Outlanders on the road which is nice to see. Great video!
We completely agree with everything you said. Since doing this review we have taken notice to more Outlanders on the road. It’s a great vehicle and provides amazing value and classy style. You picked a good brand to fall in love with.
Thanks for watching and for taking some time to comment. We appreciate it
Wrong.
2024 Outlander owner here. One of the worst cars ever. Riddled with design flaws. Security system can easily lock you out. Putting the car in nuetral is cumbersome. The car doesn’t always start on the first push. 3rd row is a waste. 2nd row seat adjust is behind the 3rd row. Very odd. 4 cylinder engine is sluggish. Driver seat doesn’t push back far enough.
Too many flaws. Go with a Toyota.
I rock the 2024 Outlander SE Black Edition and OMG I never thought I'd like a Mitsubishi as much as I do. Comfortable. Quiet. 3rd row for small kids when needed. Lots of room. And it LOOKS GOOD!!!
We were just as surprised. What a difference from what Mitsubishi has produced before. You picked a good one.
I just bought a 2022 Mitsubishi Sel Edition.. I love the features, and my warranty, everything about it.. great ride. i’m glad i purchased it..
That’s fantastic. We love hearing from actual drivers. There is a lot to like about the Outlander. Enjoy your Mitsubishi Cynthia. You deserve it.
How much did you pay? I bought a ES entry level.
Mitsubishi is equal or better then other Japanese brands,remember that Mitsubishi is a famous Air Force manufacturer.
A lot of innovative features. Follow dealer service intervals and happy snoozing.
Love this. Thanks for sharing. We love hearing stuff like this. It’s a great brand and more people need to know about it.
@M There’s chocolate and vanilla!
I got myself a 2023 SEL trim in the states and love it! For what you pay, you get way more than the competition. I love the fact that the rear door opens up almost a 90 degrees better that RAV 4. You won't regret it!
Thank you for mentioning that. It’s a huge feature for anyone with child seats. It makes life a lot easier. Enjoy your nice new ride. You picked a brilliant machine.
I've an 03 Montero xls that keeps giving me pleasure to drive. When the time comes to purchase a new vehicle the Outlander is at the top of the list.
Oh very cool. Is it still going strong? And what are the kilometres on it? We definitely recommend the Outlander to anyone looking at this segment of car. But you already know that. :)
@@HoodSlappersOfficial very good rig I have 140k miles and nothing but maintenance I get 17 -20 mpg and it is smooth riding and a beast in the snow here in Maine. Thank you for your review both informative and entertaining and I am certain you've convinced a good many to buy one. Cheers !
Thank you so much. Very kind. We are glad you enjoyed it. :)
I had a 2008 Outlander with AWD - was probably the most amazing terrain system in a car I've ever experienced. I could drive in any weather condition and feel confident. I had my car for about 6 years - never had an issue (I traded it in for a more sporty car). Now that I'm older - this new model has truly piqued my interest. Thanks for a great review!!
Hey not a problem. Thanks for watching. If you liked your 2008 you should definitely at least look at the new one. It completely surprised us for all the right reasons. If you do take one for a drive, let us know what you think.
Thanks again.
This video is the most honest, clear and concised review I found so far. This helped me see a different perspective on how I used to look at this car. Thank you.
Wow! Thank you so much mate. We really appreciate that. Did it changes your perspective for the better?
I bought the 2023 Mitsubishi Outlander SE. The back seats are made for small people, not the regular larger people. So with that in mind, being retired and rarely have anyone else but my Yorkie with me, pulling kayaks & the occasional utility trailer, this car is perfect for me. I traded my 2017 Outlander SEL for it. Got $15,000 for it. Bringing the price of the 2023 down to $23,000. I have yet to see how it runs in the rain or at night, but I'm sure that'll come soon enough. It's a great car for My Own use and gets me from point A to point B and back nicely. And if the rear seats bothers anyone, for those who design the next car, how about making the car another foot longer, giving the third row a little more room. Thanks for reading.
Thank you so much for sharing. We hope your are enjoying retirement. Between pulling a trailer, kayaking and being with your Yorkie, it sounds like you are. :)
A little bit longer would solve the third row issue. Most people commenting state that they never use it. That makes sense, but even in a pinch, it would still be nicer to have a bit more space back there, or even have the option of a third row.
We hope you enjoy your Outlander. Do you like it better than your previous Outlander?
Thanks for watching and for taking the time to comment. Have a great weekend mate.
How is the ride, those 20 inch wheels don't provide much cushion between the rim and the potholes/pits in today's roads.
I love everything about my 2022 SEL OUTLANDER.......I have NO complaints. I needed a third row for the kids and didn't want a turbo or the start/stop technology that everything else has...I love the aggressive looking front end ! ! ! !
Thanks for watching Bob! We believe everything you say and love your enthusiasm. But honestly, that third row? Haha. Only kidding. Thanks for watching. You picked a good one.
Nice, I was looking to buy for a 3rd road seat at Nissan Pathfinder, Honda Pilot, and even the crysler Pacifica. But this looks beautiful.
Omg I just remembered my 2nd car was Mitsubishi 😢 back in 08
How is the ride, those 20 inch wheels don't provide much cushion between the rim and the potholes/pits in today's roads.
I've owner so many Mitsubishi...1999 Eclipse, 2003 Eclipse Spyder, 2008 Eclipse, 2015 Lancer AE...my wife has owned a 2012 Lancer, 2016 Outlander, 2022 Eclipse Cross (currently owned), the only repairs across ALL those vehicles were a thermostat on the 1999 Eclipse and a motor mount for the 2003 Eclipse Spyder...ALL those vehicles and the total cost of repairs was $40 or so. So reliable, never had issues with any of them. I love Mitsubishi as a brand, and though I currently own a 2018 Subaru Outback 3.6R I'm missing owning a Mitsubishi.
Ok, now let us ask you a question. Where do you live? In North America Mitsubishi isn’t as popular as it would be in places like Australia. We think the Outlander is a brilliant vehicle and should not be missed when looking for something reliable.
Thanks for sharing. Which Mitsubishi has been your favourite?
@@HoodSlappersOfficial Oh my favorite was the 1999 Eclipse, the only one I've seen in person ever was the one I owned lol. I've seen a few 95-99 Eagle Talons though (rebadge).
@TeamGun nice! A rare bird then. Thanks again for saying hi
More than 10year I'm using Mitsubishi pick up L200.. first time I tried to Mitsubishi SUV... Very nice SUV...I have blue color Outlander 2023
We really like what Mitsubishi is doing and their efforts are starting to show. You went with a great choice! We can’t wait to review another one.
You guys are hilarious 😂, thanks for this video, I’m test driving one on Monday , and never even considered a Mitsubishi until I accidentally saw one on the internet while looking for S.U.V’s, love the look, and the price compared to others in its class.
Cindy! Let us know what you think of it after your test drive. We would love to hear from others experiences. Hopefully you were able to get some good insight on the Outlander along with a few laughs. :)
Thanks for saying hello! Have fun on Monday.
Just got my 2023 outlander here in kelowna canada and so far its the best suv ive had for winter driving
That’s awesome. Thanks for sharing that. It’s a great vehicle. Honest question though, think you’ll ever use the 3rd row?
@@HoodSlappersOfficial We came from a 2007 mazda cx9 where we use the 7 seats esp. when we drive from Kelowna to Vancouver and we are able to fit 2 families or 7 people comfortably. As for the outlander, we were able to use the 7 seats driving around the city, but it was not comfortable due to the leg room. So I dont see using the 7 seats for long drives. To answer your question, i wont be using the 7 seats that often and not as often anymore as what i did with my CX9. However, it is just good to have during times i need to sit 7 people within the city.
*The PHEV version of this thing IS the best equipped vehicle to ever be sold in canada, (For its price and type, which last I checked was 42K, thats the important part)*
It has rally road racing Super all wheel drive, which is lifted strait from their rally cars. This makes it effectively a high speed off road vehicle. It can go head to head with a jeep and win. You REALLY notice this on snow and mud.
It can go like 60-100km depending on how you drive it on electricity.
It can get between 4.5L/100km to 8L/100km when its out of power, depending on how you drive it. If you drive it really well, you can just drive continuously at 4.5L/100km.
In the manual, it sais it can tow 10000 pounds, although it sais 2000 is a "safe" tow because of its braking.
It can go from 0 -60 in something around 7.2 seconds (Dont quote me on that, but its a cannonball)
It has 7 seats
Its base model comes with TWO 1500Watt outlets. In all other hybrids, they make you cut off your leg and give it to them for that. Thats in the base model.
Its base model comes with a 64amp chadmo that can be used to power your house. There are only 2 other cars that can do that. The Ford lightning, and the Nissan leaf. But the ford on requires special ford stuff. The chadmo for this will be here in the second quarter of this years term. Or you can just jimmy rig a ford one if you cant wait.
The thing truly sticks to the ground. All four wheels are independently controlled.
At high speeds, the engine stops generating electricity, and just connects to the ground directly through the front wheels. Then, any additional energy it makes goes to the back wheels as electrity and charges the battery. This is significantly more fuel efficient than running on electricity at high speeds. It allows the car to be efficient and powerful at every speed.
It is an Atkinson's engine, which means in eco mode it just runs at its most efficient gas to energy speed until you reach 110kmph, at which point it connects to the road. Yes Toyota has more fuel efficient engines. But their price and 5 year waiting time makes that irrelevant.
Its 20kwh battery qualifies for the full electric rebate
It strait crushes all other Hybrids on the market with the exception of the KIA Niro (Which is a minimalist hybrid that values space, and so makes its own independent case), and the RAV4 Prime (But youll never get one, and its only around 15% better at its core jobs. Missing all the other features).
It does not make sense to buy most electric cars against this price point and feature crowding.
Its one of the biggest electric drivien vehicles on the market. Its not tiny. Yet it gets the energy ratings of a tiny car.
Base model has car following
Some things its bad at:
If you want to drive in the winter time with just the battery, you cant turn on the fans. Turning on the fans turns on the engine, even though you dont need it. This means that you need to make a choice between not seeing out your windshield, or burning gasoline for no good reason. The overlooked that for sure.
It will not connect the engine to the road until your battery is out of power, and so will needlessly waste energy until that point. Its definatly a bug.
I think thats everything :P
This is awesome. Well, it’s settled. If we get the chance to review the PHEV we will be contacting you. Thanks so much for watching. This is great information and will help anyone interested and in the market. Have a great weekend and keep up your enthusiasm.
@@HoodSlappersOfficial Kinda a shame that almost nothing they wrote was true. And that bits that came close to true were only close, not actually straight up true. That said, the Outlander *is* a solid vehicle design and outstanding build.
Really good info man 💯
We own a 2022 sle touring love this thing way better than the rav 4 .third row is small but great for the grand children. We live in Maine this thing is a beast in the snow can't say enough about it
We definitely agree those seats are for kids. :) Thanks for watching We loved it and in that colour it looks so nice. We didn’t have snow tires on it, but even without, it did well in the snow.
Thanks again Chuck. Have a great rest of your weekend.
Obviously paid by Mitsubishi to make this comment. You can’t be serious.
Great job. Some of the team reviewer car channels are painful, but you guys are genuinely entertaining and informative to watch.
Geez oh. Thank you so much. That means a heck of a lot. We are glad you enjoyed it. Have a great day!
I just got a deal for a 2024 one, and my goodness, the driving is amazing. It reminded me much of the Rogue I had, but even smoother.
Another satisfied customer. :). Thanks for sharing. Enjoy your new ride for many miles to come.
Completely informative review guys. Jared was very worried about fitting in the third row whereas brad was pretty comfortable about it haha.
Brad hides it well, but they were both worried about that third row. It’s smaller than it looks on camera. The camera adds a few pounds remember. :)
As always, thanks so much for watching.
I love this car! I remember the day I saw it at the dealer. It was early 2022 and we went to the dealer to look at a used Pajero. When I saw this new Outlander, I never thought of Mitsubishi the same way.
Oh it completely opened our eyes to Mitsubishi. A good brand for people in North America to start considering more. The Outlander especially!
Thanks for watching. Did you end up getting one?
@@HoodSlappersOfficial No. but I wanted one badly. We are still considering it.🤞
What are the other options?
@@HoodSlappersOfficial For us, maybe the Nissan Rogue is the other option. My dad likes the Nissan but I like the Mitsubishi.😂
After the 3rd row seat test I think we may expect little Jabrad in 9 months 🤷♂️🤣🤣🤣
As always, I couldn’t expect anything lesser than a great job from you guys… can’t wait to see what’s coming next 😎👍
Haha. He definitely looked like he was giving birth. We will see what happens in the next 9 months. We will keep you in the loop.
Love the review! The potatoe chip bag was hilarious! Thanks for the laugh, guys!
Thank you so much. We had a fun time with this one. We are glad you enjoyed it and could have a laugh. :)
Glad that I am planning to buy a fully loaded 2023 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV.
That’s fantastic. We wish we had the opportunity to review that one soon. We will just have to borrow yours when you get it. ;)
Thanks so much for watching.
I had a Outlander 2019 till 2022, recently traded it in for a Mazda CX-9, and I have to say, I am super bummed there are no Mitsubishi dealers near here because I loved my Outlander way more!!!
You did?!? Ok, give us your top three things about your Outlander. We love to hear from owners and their experience.
Thanks for watching. Cool name by the way.
Nissan Rogue is the same but not as good a.warranty and no hybrid love mine
@@HoodSlappersOfficial hello, the top three things I loved about the outlander was the drive, sound and the versatility with the snow mode. The Outlander drove way better, more of a smoother ride, the sound system was amazing 🤩 and the sound was kept inside the suv. The Mazda has a Bose sound and it’s nice but outside of the car you can hear everything, it wasn’t like that with the Outlander. This winter was the first winter I did not have the snow option to use and it was missed 😂 the Outlander handles in the snow much better than the Mazda. I prefer the ease of use with the Outlander, the Mazda has 1 main button that controls everything and it can get very confusing. Overall, I am extremely bummed that the closest dealer over a hour from where I am dropped the ball and after approved went radio silent and wouldn’t return calls, the dealership said they were extremely busy. 🤦🏼♀️ Hopefully when I trade my Mazda in 2025 there’s another dealer near by, I really miss my Outlander. I’ve had Chevy, Kia, Dodge, Jeep, and the Outlander was by far the best. In the 4 years I had it, I didn’t have 1 issue with it. Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend. Thank you, God Bless 🙏❤️
This is great stuff. Thank you so much for getting back to us. We always love the real experience and insight from viewers. Hopefully comments like yours can help others with their decisions. We will keep our fingers crossed for you too. Hopefully when the Mazda is due, you’ll find the right Mitsubishi dealership for you.
Thanks again. :)
Mazda is far superior.
"Bits-r-missin" we have owned 4 over th last 23 years, 1996 V6 Magna wagon, 2001 V6 Magna sedan, 2012 Triton dual cab(diesel), 2016 Triton dual cab (diesel) here in South Australia. Never had any real problems with them. Decent product with decent after sales service.
Sounds like lots of Mitsubishis are in Australia. Not as many here in Canada, so we like the fact that we got to try it out. Nice brand and great ride.
Thanks for watching.
Traded my 21 outback for the se tech 2024 outlander. It was worth it. Loving the outlander . Never going back to subaru
Interesting. Thanks for sharing. What separates the Outlander from the Outback in your opinion? We would love to hear. Thanks for watching.
We Purchased the Black Edition at $33,500 about 10 months ago and it is nicely equipped... Has android auto and apple car play, Panoramic roof, AWD, huge Black alloy rims.... I wish we could have purchased the PHEV but it was not out yet.... The other problem was availability.... We only waited for about 2 weeks for the Black Edition... The fully loaded version at $38K at the time was impossible to get. Also we get about 31 miles a gallon....
The PHEV would be nice, but getting a vehicle sooner than later is good too. Enjoy it. It really is a great vehicle. Just watch that third row. It’s a doozy. ;)
Thanks so much for watching. Enjoy your Outlander
How is the ride, those 20 inch wheels don't provide much cushion between the rim and the potholes/pits in today's roads.
I got a 2024 and the second row is adjustable to give third row passengers more leg room
That’s actually a great point. Thanks for sharing. As an owner, how often would you use the third row?
How is the ride, those 20 inch wheels don't provide much cushion between the rim and the potholes/pits in today's roads.
I have purchased three Outlanders. The third row seating is great because the seats fold down. I can get everything I need in that extended trunk. I’ve even carried 7’ boards home from Home Depot! Why pay so much for a base model elsewhere when you can pay the same and get a fully loaded model. However, I have noticed a depreciation value which has been the biggest bummer. Also, I transport for child services and can get 6 car seats in mine. :)
That's fantastic! Thank you so much for commenting and sharing that. Don't tell everyone what the Outlander can do, they might start asking to borrow it. Or worse, ask if you can help them move something for them. ;)
Keep enjoying your Outlander. We loved it and were very impressed. You made a great choice.
Have a great day and thanks for subscribing. It means a lot.
Can you ride car seats on the 3rd row?
Depreciates more because most intelligent people realize the car is far inferior to other Japanese brands.
Not surprised it is good. For who makes from TV 's to Airplanes, Outlander represents the brand well.
They are a quiet brand that does not get the mention they deserve. It’s well made machine. Plus JD Power released their 2023 numbers for quality and Mitsubishi is very close to the top.
Thanks for watching.
I purchased one last year very smooth SUV .
We loved it ourselves. You made a great choice. The Outlander deserves to be on everyone’s list of SUVs to consider.
How is the ride, those 20 inch wheels don't provide much cushion between the rim and the potholes/pits in today's roads.
I have one and it is amazing.
Hopefully we did it justice. We enjoyed it and were very shocked and surprised.
Thanks for watching.
Just got a 2020 outlander SEL and we love it
That’s awesome. Congratulations. Here is to many miles of great driving. Thanks for saying hello
3rd row Seats, definitely not for grown ups! 😅 my 13 and 10 fit perfectly. 😎
Hey thanks for sharing. That’s good to hear because we defiantly couldn’t fit and thought there was no way anyone else could. But this is why we love hearing from our viewers. Thanks so much for sharing. Enjoy yours. Hopefully the kids don’t get any taller. :)
Looks are a little odd in the front but you cannot find a better value for the money. You get a crazy amount of features and a really upscale interior for a fraction of what you pay for these days features and interior quality of other brands
See, we liked the looks. Different enough that it doesn’t look like everything else out there. Minor resemblance to a Discovery, but when was the last time you heard that about a car. Mitsubishi did a nice job. And you are right about value. There is a lot in the Outlander. Good value.
Thanks for watching.
We have a 2018 Outlander and love it so much. We're considering adding another truck since our daughter is starting college soon. This 2023 is on top of our list. This or the CR-V. I've read a lot bad things about the 1.5 litter turbo engine from Honda so we're leaning towards this naturally aspirated engine from Nissan.
All great choices. Can’t really go wrong with any. The Honda 1.5L had a fix done and have resolved the issue for the most part.
Is the new vehicle for your daughter or is she getting the 2018. Either way, lucky girl.
Thanks for watching.
@@HoodSlappersOfficial she's getting an even older one. We have a 2014 Accord Sport that still runs and looks like brand new. I get the 2018 Outlander and my wife will get the newest one.
Btw, thank you for sharing that Honda fixed their issues. Do you happen to know what was causing all the blown head gaskets for the 1.5 Honda sand is that's the issue that got fixed? That's what's weighing down on us. And I really enjoyed your video. I actually watched it start to end. I can't recall a time I watched a cat review without skipping or doing fast forward on some parts. Great job guys!
That’s great. Sounds like a game of musical cars is happening in your household. :)
Thank you so much for the kind words Jon. If we can entertain people and help them learn and laugh, then our job is done. :)
I went looking for a new car in summer 2023 with my heart set on a CRV or Sante Fe. I was disappointed in both because of small interior. By chance, a 2022 Outlander was in dealer lot and the moment I sat in it, I was hooked. I had my teenage son (6') with me to judge back seat room. The space in first and second rows is great. My 6'3 husband is comfortable driving it. It handles like a dream in snow. When in Eco drive mode, I often get 30 MPG. The exterior is beautiful..doesnt look like every other compact SUV and I often get complements. I love the headlight design-fierce looking. As an Uber driver, I am often complemented on the interior and room-except for 3rd row. It may as well not even be there. When 3rd row seats are up, there is absolutely no cargo space. Another downside is front cabin configuration. There are really no compartments for stuff, and ergonomically is a poor set up (I kind of have to reach backward into middle console and for drinks in cup holder). Also the Park and Reverse functions is a terrible design. In the US, most vehicles shift into park by pushing lever all the way to top position. In the 2022 that is Reverse. Park is a button. Very dangerous. When I first got the vehicle, out of habit I shifted all the way to top to park, and because it went into reverse, nearly knocked down my son with the door as he was getting out of car. A person could easily get backed over because of this! So that takes a little getting used to. Still, the pros outweigh the cons, and I likely will be looking at newer models when the time comes, hoping for upgrades/updates on storage and the whole shifter thing.
Thank you so much for sharing. The Outlander is a hidden gem in the automotive world. We appreciate your insight on it and appreciate you discussing both pros and cons.
I appreciate the third row try. I am going to get a 24 model
We did what we could. They make it look so easy in all their commercials. :)
You’ll love everything else about it though. It’s a great vehicle.
The 2023 SEL may not be the best in the class but at its low low price, it is the undisputed best value for its price
That’s so true. It’s mind boggling how more people don’t see this. The Outlander is such a great option but they get buried under the staples like the RAV4 and CR-V. We absolutely loved it.
Great review and comedy Hood Slappers ! I am seriously looking @ recommending the Outlander to my sister . Her 2013 Dodge Journey is on life support and needs something reliable .
Sounds like the Journey is coming to an end. You just tell your sister that it received the Hood Slap of approval. That should be enough. If you’re in Canada we would love to recommend a great dealership for her. Thanks for watching and for saying hello
the 3rd row is for import tax reduction and with the reduction, Mitsubishi reallocated the savings to other improvements. Just for anyone that doesnt know.
Thanks for sharing. We love to hear insight from our viewers. Have a great weekend.
I bought a 2022 SEL. If you are looking to get one of these remember this…
Get AWD this is not an option. Driving it compared to the front wheel drive is a big difference
Mitsubishis depreciation is horrendous. Only buy new if you plan on keeping for at least seven years. If not, look at certified pre owned.
Get the CVT transmission serviced every 30k miles.
Great gas mileage
Great warranty
Great features for the price
Built in Japan
Thank you so much for sharing. We appreciate real world insight from actual drivers. It helps viewers with decisions. Thank you for watching. Enjoy your Outlander. You picked a good one mate.
Had an outlander as a rental while our car was being repaired from an accident. also had a jeep grand Wagoneer, and a blazer. It was the best of the 3 but we still love our Subaru forester more.
That is quite a variety of rentals. You could have started your own automotive channel on those alone.
Thanks for sharing though. It’s very hard to pull a Subaru driver away from the brand. They’re pretty loyal.
We hope everyone is ok from the accident.
Mitsubishi is no new kid. It's been building cars for 106 years!🎉 and was originally founded in 1884, 139 years ago!
Absolutely. They did a lot more before cars were even around. Thanks for watching.
Great review, very authentic and funny. Enjoyed the honest takes.
Thank you so much. Your comment made our day.
Hi! First time buyer of a Mitsi (30 year driver of many makes and models) and I love my 2023 Outlander. The 3rd row is less than ideal but the price point, warranty and amenities far outweigh the tiny tiny 3rd row and torque. I know it’ll last a really long time
Stephanie, thank you so much for saying hi and for watching. You will love the Outlander. We did! How many vehicles have you owned in your 30 years of driving and which has been your favourite?
I was leaning toward the Mazda CX5 until this popped up on my radar. Better mileage, 3rd row, and the long term power train warranty takes away my apprehension about the CVT. 2.5 liters is fine and I will never own a turbo gas car. $$$ if that thing goes out!
Mitsubishi is a silent player. Here in Canada it is not the most popular brand, but after driving this we can’t believe it isn’t. The agony of choice. :)
Thanks for watching and commenting David.
Well I bought a 2023 ES Outlander because I didn't need the 3rd row & in exchange for that, I get a full size full time spare wheel. I'm in Australia & we have a lot of remote country here, so this is a preferable feature here. Though it doesn't feel like it, it has oodles of power and gets up to speed surprisingly quickly. You won't have idiots trying to pass you when the speed limit changes, because they simply can't do that without looking like idiots. The car doesn't feel like it is going as fast as it actually is. This can be a trap at first, so watch your speed. Maybe it's because of sitting up so high or the suspension making the road very smooth, or perhaps because it is so stable & hangs onto the corners with such assurance & ease. Very noticeable more stable & relaxed cornering than any car I have previously owned. The one bad thing I have found so far is the tow bar is inches lower than it needs to be and its design limits departure angle to a ridiculous amount. It bottoms out on very ordinary suburban driveways. I have had a tow bar on every car I owned over the last 50 years. This is the worst one yet, worse than my Kia Cerato, worse than my saggy VR commodore etc. Total design fail on the tow bar, it could easily have mounted the tongue 2-3 inches higher as there is no structure in the way, only a bit of plastic bumper to cut out.
I would have preferred if the roof wasn't as tall, as that would have made loading roof racks oh so much easier for smaller people like me. My wife & I had looked at earlier models thinking oh that's OK. So the height of the 2023 model was a surprise we had not realised.
Thanks for sharing Ken. It’s funny, Mitsubishi I a much bigger brand in Australia than here in Canada. Hopefully they start to build more momentum here with the Outlander because it’s a great machine. I just read today that the plug in Outlander is the best selling in Canada right now. So we will see where this takes Mitsubishi.
Thanks for the comment. Happy trails
We had a 2018 Outlander and was a great vehicle, when we traded my Forester I would have purchased another but 2 problems the 3rd row is a bit small and the dealer network in my area has went from 4 to 2 so I get worried about how effective warranty claims would be if those close… Went with a Subaru Ascent instead. Both are wonderful vehicles!
Thanks for sharing. From 4 to 2 eh? That’s too bad. It’s a great brand. It’s a shame they aren’t growing.
@@HoodSlappersOfficialyes 😢 you did a great review btw. But yes sadly the network has shrunk a bit in AZ
@freedom_foz_6337 that’s too bad. Here in Canada it seems like there is very little growth. Funny though, in Australia the brand does very well.
Move on on your rant on the 3rd row! They're meant for kids and smaller people, And they serve a purpose for some people/families.
Thanks for watching anyway. Hope you enjoyed the rest.
Never give up,I'm sure you'll fit in somewhere😀
Would certainly trade my Honda for one. I hope I can afford a used one of these in six or seven years.❤
Trade a Honda???? Wow, that’s a big jump from brand to brand. What about the Outlander would make you switch brands?
What a Great review, So much facts and knowledge kudos to your review guys, I was confused between CX-5 and outlander. I think I made a decision
Thank you so much. We love hearing from viewers and hope you were able to learn something. Whether you choose the CX-5 or Outlander, we wish you all the best.
There goes the whole Renault, Nissan, Mitsubishi thing again. As a Nissan owner, I can’t buy another car under the Renault umbrella. I’m ditching Nissan this year. Too many maintenance issues to count. I own both a 2013 Pathfinder and 2018 Note. Love their designs. But they are not reliable cars anymore.
This Outlander looks so good though! Aaargh. I hope they can separate from Renault and be their own thing again.
It looks so good. It’s interesting you mention Renault. Where we live, Renault doesn’t exist. We do have plenty of Nissans though. Being associated with Nissan or Renault might not be the best in terms of popular opinion. But, it might be worth it giving the Outlander a shot. It rides as good as it looks.
Thanks for watching.
Gotta love the way Canadians say words like "Nissan," "Mazda," "aluminum," and "about" among others.
No doubt aboot it eh? 🇨🇦
Thanks for watching. :)
Nice
Mitsubishi has the best/cheapest warranty currently.
5yr/60k bumper to bumper, 10yr/100k powertrain. Several other additions.
Mitsubishi's biggest problem is lack of dealerships.
Great point! And the few dealers that are around, are smaller and have less of a wow factor. There is a lot of room for growth. They have the right cars coming out. That’s step one.
Try Carvana
We love our 2023 White Diamond Outlander 😎😂
The colour is amazing. It looks so good on the Outlander. You picked a good colour.
Great vid guys thank you. We live in Panama and we're looking at a 2023 Outlander yesterday. One thing we thought was odd was the key fob did not have a panic (alarm) button. Does that sound right? Dealer said it just wasn't an option.
Thank you so much for watching. We are glad you enjoyed it and hopefully it helped in your vehicle research.
The panic not being on the key fob is a bit odd. It is on the Canadian key fob. We can’t address the reason as to why it wouldn’t be in Panama. Sorry mate.
I have outlander 2019 diesel, after 175 000 km I would say very reliable car , just do the regular service put petrol and nothing else
The best reliable car I owned so far
That’s great to hear. We appreciate you commenting and giving us some real world insight. You defiantly drive a lot, so we are glad it’s very reliable. Have a great day and thanks for watching.
Best equipped? Where's the spare wheel? Lots of fun getting a flat tyre in the middle of snow country. I prefer the Nissan.
Thanks for watching. Can’t please everyone, but it is still very well equipped. They do offer road side assistance to so you don’t have to change a tire in the snow.
Have a great day!
I always loved a Range Rover! So I went the inexpensive route and more reliable too. Love the fact its manufactured and assembled in JAPAN!! They make very reliable cars :D So I bought myself a 2020 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport SE because I always wanted a Range Rover. I feel like a beast on the highway! Love my headlights and fog lights too. I wouldn't get another Mitsubishi because of all the comments about how it has a Nissan CVT transmission and nearly 60k miles you have to get rid of it. It's a great economy crossover! I think I get way more than 30 MPG on the highway. Feels great to have a look alike Range Rover at an inexpensive cost. I got my heated seats, apple CarPlay, great warranty and I can fold my seats down. I can actually lay in my crossover and treat it like a bed.
I'm more of a car girl. So I've had it for 3 months now and I am looking to trade into a car with better fuel efficiency hopefully made in Japan or Mexico
Thank you so much for watching and for commenting. We appreciate your thoughts and love your enthusiasm. We do have a question, did you ever sleep in your Outlander???
Exactly my thought too. It looks like a Range Rover that’s why I love it lol
We loved the look of it.
beautiful car
And what about the two presenters? :)
Thanks for watching. We enjoyed this car.
its a lot nicer than many of the other boring small suvs
We really enjoyed it. The styling has come a looooong way
I had my used 22 outlander on the 2nd week n I love it n I love the safety n the ride it is better than the RAV4 that I had before the RAV4 was great on gas mileage but had a rough ride so I traded the 21 RAV4 for the 22 outlander got a really great deal on the outlander
Wow. Over a RAV4? That’s huge. Well we really liked the Outlander so we can understand completely. Thanks for watching.
@@HoodSlappersOfficial yes over a RAV4! I do Uber and Lyft n Grubhub n DoorDash n Instacart so I need more room in the trunk n the three rows when I do Uber n Lyft
How is the ride, those 20 inch wheels don't provide much cushion between the rim and the potholes/pits in today's roads.
@@ofcbob6391 those 20 inch r good over the roads I can’t complain the outlander has much quieter ride
The plug in is even better.
We have heard amazing things. We will try and get a hold of one to review. Thanks for watching. We loved the Outlander.
Great video guys! I'm really curious about that spray on the headlights thing. Does it have a wiper as well? How well does it spray at highway speeds vs city driving? If it doesn't have a wiper does it impair the light coming through the lamp because I know I can't see much in that time between when I spray my windshield and before the wiper clears it off.
I am really intrigued by a made for Canada design. That insulated battery seems particularly interesting with all the arctic fronts we get here in Alberta (-50C windchills mid December). I also wonder if they did anything for the draft that can come off of the doors or were those pretty well insulated?
Bleatmop, great thoughts and questions. There is no wiper. To be honest, to quote one of our Instagram followers how has this feature, it’s just a faster way to burn through washer fluid. It’s a neat feature but not overly necessary.
Canada was thought of when making this vehicle. And for the draft, there is a double door seal to help with that issues. Over all we were extremely impressed with the vehicle. Well, maybe not that third row. :)
another great and fun video...thank you guys
You are very welcome. We couldn’t do it without our amazing viewers like you! So, thank YOU for watching.
I own a 2023, so far its been good for our purpose. ... it's really noisy on the road, concerned about the Mitsubishi app and still no spare tire kit.....
The transmission does create more noise that say a none CVT, but the vehicle is still so much more than that and we are glad you are enjoying it for all your purposes. Now, as an owner, what are your concerns with the app? We love to hear from real drivers.
I had no idea Mitsubishi was still was a company!
See, this is what we are here for. Thanks for watching.
I think Mitsubishi os on its way out…. Unless they come up with something much more exciting than a bad copies of Nissan 🤷🏻♂️… It reminds of where Mazda was about 12 years ago, it took them a decade to recover from Ford’s bad taste in the mouth 🤮
@@photo_n_art what if they made a new eclipse that is a Honda type r competitor?
@@Lifeneverlost don’t get me wrong, they were making some great cars in the past… Shogun/Pajero mrk I, 3000GT, Lancer EVO… Eclipse was not their best shot 🤷🏼
Great video… again! I have never look at or considered any Mitsubishi. But you two outlined the quality with the vehicle very well. The engine power is underwhelming for me. Is Jared really that big, or is the third row that small😂! And is the front seats smaller too? If the seat are that small, why bother? Kids grow too fast to say it is for kids. I do like the plug in hybrid feature, wish other vehicles would embrace that option. You guys have peeked my interest, think I will go and look at one in person. Keep the videos coming!
First of all, the back seat IS really that small. Jared also wears a big coat. :) It does seem pointless and a waste of space, but the research and development team at Mitsubishi must know something we don’t. We were totally taken back by the Outlander and are glad it might open a few doors for potential Mitsubishi owners. We would definitely suggest you check it out. Maybe check that third row too. :)
I'm on the wait list for this SUV and have spent some time with it at the dealership trying different seating configurations. The third row is TINY! It's a 2 row suv with an emergency use third row for very short trips.
That's pretty much what we are looking for so we're okay with that.
That being said, we did manage to fit 4 adults and 2 children in full child seats (not boosters), so it can be done. Adult in the rear said they could handle it for, say, a half hour trip.
Thanks for sharing. That’s great to hear. How long is your wait?
@@HoodSlappersOfficial I'm on the list for the PHEV in Canada. Already got an offer on a higher trim that I passed on. Dealership thinks about 2 months.
A PHEV? Oh that’s great. That’s the kind of car that it’s worth the wait rather than changing your order. That’s exciting. It sounds like you’ll have it just in time for summer. Enjoy!
Excellent video! How would you compare it to the gas powered 2022/2023 Kia Sorento in terms of quality, build, reliability and bang for your buck as I am considering both.
Thanks for watching. Excellent question. We haven’t had the chance to review the Sorento yet so we can not give a proper assessment. After this review, we would definitely ask everyone to at least consider Mitsubishi when looking at compact SUVs. We did however review the Sportage and were impressed by it as well. So if the Sorento is anything like the Sportage, it’s a tough choice. Drive both and see what you like. You can’t go wrong with either.
i don't really need that third row, but it's gonna be funny as hell to stick my friends back there when im the bus for the group lmao.
my mitsubishi endeavor made it to 300k and finally gonna get a new car and im just gonna get another mitsubishi tbh.
Haha, that's awesome. Please send us photos when you cram the back seat with your friends. Suckers. :)
Thanks for watching!
Great honest review but i think they're a little harsh on third row. I own one yes its a little cramped but its serviceable meaning two average humans can fit reasonably lol
Wait, does that mean we are both above average humans? We like the sounds of that. :)
Thanks for watching.
I love my 2023 SE Black on Black❤
Black would be a very nice colour on the Outlander. Great choice
I traded my 2022 outlander sel touring edition ..with the 2023 outlander 40th anniversary edition..
Nice upgrade! So far, what do you think?
@Hood Slappers ... not much difference coz I got the sel touring edition...few extra the special paint and badges..illumination shield lights..but I not gonna trade it for a different one.. I love the outlander..
Currently drive a 18 outlander sport, and it makes me angry sometimes. Never when I make my payment though.
We are very curious as to what makes you angry. Please share. Thanks for watching!
What is the maximum miles a newly purchased Mitsubishi should have out of the dealership?
It really all depends. If it’s right off the truck from factory, generally between 15km and 20km. This takes into consideration the kms it had when it landed, putting gas in the car, and the tech doing the pre delivery inspection. If there are things like tint or other products that the car needs, there could be extra kms. If it’s dealer traded, then it will definitely have more.
I hope this helps.
I owned a Mitsubishi for close to 20years and it was a great car but I don’t like the idea of paying for a third row seat I’ll never use and also don’t like that it shares the platform and electronics with Nissan.
The Nissan thing we didn’t care for either. The seats are there if you need them, but definitely not a massive selling feature. All in all, we enjoyed the vehicle. Great brand too.
Thanks for watching Mike.
I myself would not use the 3rd row seating in case of a rear end collision. Paranoid maybe.
Not paranoid. That would be terrible if it were to happen. Hopefully it never has. Thanks for watching.
😄😄in Canada we need something has really good quality and price acceptable.
Is the Mitsubishi Outlander the answer to this then?
Thanks for watching.
That was hilarious with the 3rd seat hahah. They should make it alittle bigger.
Im deft was looking at Pathfinder, Pilot and even Crysler Pacifica or Odyssey BUT this looks beautiful and great at mileage.
I completely forgot I had a Mitsubishi Galant in 08
Any recommendations? I Live in the USA just in case. Thank you
Thanks for watching and great question. The Outlander, although does have a small 3rd row, it is still very small. So if you need a 3rd row for emergencies then this is great. If you need a third row on a regular basis then something
mid sized would work much better. The cars you mentioned are great. We just filmed our 2024 VW Atlas review yesterday so that will be out soon. That’s another good option and it was just refreshed.
Thanks again for watching.
The third row is great for emergency transport of children and their friends to parks and soccer games.
I suppose that’s true. But even for kids, it seems right. But it’s there if needed. Sweet profile pic by the way. Who’s the best Batman to hit the silver screen?
How much is Mitsubishi rally vs Nissan preppy? Would enjoy seeing some good Canadian winter test driving in slip/sliding away conditions. Up/down after snow, ice, slush. What is decent acceleration in city and highway? What is the towing capacity? Trim pricing in $CA.
Entertaining at the very least.
That sounds like a lot of work. Haha.
We will tell you what, if we get another Mitsubishi from the dealership, we will see what we can do for you. No promises. :)
Thanks for watching.
OMG at 4:45 when I saw him blow in to the potato chip bag I fell out of my chair laughing! Might not be enough room for MATURE adults, OR US! These guys are HILLARIOUS!
We are so glad you liked it. He was half acting. It was very difficult getting in that 3rd row. He had a coughing fit after this scene because he breathed in many chip crumbs. The things these guys do for a laugh. :)
Thanks again.
If Mitsubishi dropped a larger displacement engine, that would've been my next vehicle. This SUV is too heavy for that small engine.
Thanks for your thoughts. What vehicle did you go with instead?
Actually it isn't, the engine is plenty strong. You should test one before declining it out of hand, you'll be surprised.
Good honest review 👍
Thank you so much. We hope it helped you out and maybe made you laugh a little.
Thanks for watching.
You get what you pay for… Got a 2023 SE adaptive cruise control & lane assist doesn’t work it pulls to the right does not stay in the lanes. Hard to steer & jerks. I had to turn everything off. The brakes feel weird, & definitely can tell it’s a CVT unlike in my Nissan it’s a cvt xtronic v6 but you can’t tell. This one almost feels like it slips. It house a loud noise while driving which I found an article that explains essentially they’re made cheap and not heavy. I was hoping to get a good mechanically sound vehicle but nope. The doors don’t unlock when it’s put in park either. The dash rattles, and the gas is actually not great I filled up it said 455 miles I drove 70 miles and it was down to 354 when math isn’t mathing… Just because they made it look nice and stylish means nothing mechanics mean much more. I’ve owned Toyota, nissan, & Honda that were excellent. I wish I would have just gotten a Pathfinder or Murano & paid the extra money. Needless to say I wish I could get something different and officially aggravated I’m stuck with it. Please do your research before purchasing. And they do not give a 10 year 200k warranty I had to pay 2700 for a warranty for 150k or 7 years
Holly, thanks so much for watching and for sharing. We are sorry to hear about your experience. Hopefully any manufacturer flaws in the vehicle can be mended. The door locks when going into park should be programmable though. We can’t say anything about the lame assist so definitely see if there is an alignment issue with the sensors and cameras. It’s hard to compare a Mitsubishi 4 cylinder with a Nissan V6. There is a big difference in how those cars will handle and feel. At the end of it though, we hope everything changes and that you will enjoy your vehicle. Here I’m Canada, we do receive a 10 year 200,000 warranty though. Maybe not everywhere.
Thanks again! Have a great day!
Thanks to Mitsubishi company, outlander is a nice car design
Such a nice car. Hopefully these brilliant changes transfer into all their future designs. It put Mitsubishi on the map for us.
Don’t think it was at good thing putting Nissans CVT in the new Mitz as Nissan has had a issue with them in like forever. Teaming up with Toyota for their transmission would have been so much more beneficial.
How great would that be?! Toyota and Mitsubishi. The Nissan CVT has been the source of a lot of ridicule. Despite the transmission, it’s still a brilliant vehicle.
Thanks for watching.
Mitsubishi has had CVT’s in there vehicles for quite some time now. They have different tuning in their CVT’s than Nissan which is why you never hear of the Mitsu CVT’s being problematic like Nissan had.
@@nunosapunso6239yep , look it up.
I have an ASX and I enjoy all of it. Just a dam pity your driving experience is not as pleasurable as mine cause your steering wheel is on the wrong side 🤣
Haha. Hey now, our steering wheels are just fine where they are. Thanks for watching! :)
Several comments mention that it has a Nissan CVT, but it's more than that. The vehicle is actually a Nissan Rogue with different engine and styling, slightly different features, and a better warranty.
There are a lot of similarities. Style wise, we would take the Outlander over the Rogue. It just looks so much better.
Slightly different features? The inside of the 2023 OUTLANDER GT PREMIUM S-AWC kills the Nissan Rogue in terms of luxury feel and style.
G'day it's Steven from Down Under
Guys, did you say that you've never been in a Mitsubishi vehicle??
😮
Let us explain! :)
Mitsubishi is not a very popular brand here in Canada. There aren’t many Mitsubishi dealerships, and the ones we do have are usually quite small. It is a shame though, because the vehicles are quite good.
Thanks for watching. We are glad you found our channel.
Is it ok to say the engine is the same as the old Nissan Xtrail and the CVT is jatco???
I don’t think I’ve seen an Xtrail recently that had all four door handles intact.
Does the third row fold down to allow for more cargo room?
Great question. It absolutely does. We assume most people wouldn’t really use it.
