We own 7 Mitsubishi including the new 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander and we are very happy with Mitsubishi cars no issues at all just regular maintenance and the look of their cars is just really cool.
When I try to compare it with other brands like Rav4 or CRV, it’s cheaply made for its price tag. I tried closing doors from different generations of Outlanders and they all feel hollow, nothing from them have a nice satisfying thump
@@Dad_Life13 Besides all Mitsubishi we also own a 2006 Tacoma and a 2021 Toyota Rav4 because we also love Toyota but if we compared the Rav4 with the 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander the Outlander is just better equipped, better looking and better warranty not to mention is slightly bigger so in our experience Mitsubishi Outlander take the first place. 🥇
I have a 2019 Outlander. It’s the best bang for the buck. My daughter bought the CRV ( very nice suv - reliable good on gas, lasts forever ) but she paid about 8k more than I did for the same features and there is no third row seat option with the CRV. Love the Honda but when the grandkids are up it’s nice to have the third row. I’ve had absolutely zero problems with the Outlander. I only have 27k miles on it but there is no indication that a problem will develop. Might trade it in for the 2022 ( love the new look) but haven’t decided yet. Not sure Mitsubishi will deal on the new changed Outlander.
I just bought my 5th mitsubishi, I have owned the Mirage, G4, Outlander, Outlander Sport. None of them have had any problems. Just oil changes and tire rotations every 6 months. They have been more reliable than any other Japanese car brand I have owned.
i've owned my 2015 outlander GT for 2 years now and it has pure just... such a hassle-free experience. it's my first ever used car, and damn it took me a while to find a second hand car worth buying (literally months going after cars and taking them to my mechanic to give me the greenlight, he even did it for free, great guy), but it paid off big time. i love this thing. it still feels pretty new, even smells new. just turned over 70 thousand km last month.
I just finally junked my 2004 mitsubishi endeavor after 245000 miles. I bought it new almost 20 years ago. It also became my daughter's car for high school. The transmission died. The most reliable car I've ever had. I miss it. 😢. The moon is 238000 miles away from earth ,the puts it in perspective.
My brother has a 2016 Outlander with the 2.5 inline 4 cylinder non-turbo paired with CVT Trans. Has put 230,000 miles in the Texas heat with zero issues.
Not happy with the title of the video. Please change. It takes years and effort to build a good car and giving such a title to review a car do not deserve it. I recently bought the vehicle, but haven't got the delivery yet. For me, I see this car as value for the money, it gives you all things a luxury car can give you at a high price. Other than 3rd-row seating, which is only useful for kids, that's the only disadvantage I find. and yes, could be a little bit bumpy on some Australian rough roads due to 20'' wheels. (Not sure, but mentioned by other reviewers) A lot of reviewers claim, it is not performing well when you accelerate. C'mon reviewers this is not a performance vehicle, not meant to be for that. It is a family car, designed for city and Urban drive.
well i didn't really like the 3 minute intro just exposing personal biases. i mean, who cares what you thought before trying it? just review the damn car objectively.
@GraveUypo I think he makes a good quick point about the nay-sayers. He's pointing out that there is undue bias, for the people who may have read alot of negative things.
Mitsubishi is an excellent example of the power of marketing ( or lack thereof ). 20 years ago Mitsu had a great well-earned reputation, not quite Toyota or Honda level reliability, but above virtually every other Japanese brand and two planets apart from any American car. Then the parent company spun them off and, now on their own, they didn't have the financial resources to keep up with Toyota and Honda. So, they just soldiered on for 20 years selling about 125K/year of cheap ( but bulletproof) Japanese built cars and SUVs to people who could not afford much better. However that gave them a bad reputation, erasing the good one. Now, they build one decent SUV and a whole generation is like "whoa, Mitsu builds good cars???" Yet, that same generation of people has no idea that Hyundai and Kia used license-built Mitsubishi engines almost the entire time they have been sold in the US. Only around 2015 was Hyundai / Kia able to use engines they themselves designed.
Mitsubishi was spun off from MHI on 1970, before they even officially debuted in the US. That didn't play a factor in anything. It was the "0-0-0" sales event that hurt the most.
the recall scandal, Asian financial crash, epa violation scandal, did not help them. I think they tried to get to big to fast and could not compete with Toyota/Honda. Also the reg maintenance tended to be expensive/ parts expensive idk if it was economy of scale issue. but having a 1200-2k timing job every 5 years probably got old fast. I hope they are able to recover in NA and make parts for their current and older vehicles.
I'm on my third Mitsubishi and 👀 this one as well. Say what you want Mitsubishi cars are well built and can last a very long time, with proper maintenance. All of my cars have been taken back to the Dealership for service. Kudos on the new 2022, who knows I may make this my Christmas gift to myself.
@@djkenny1202 only the new Mitsubishi has the Nissan engine, not the older models. P.S. It's why I decided to go with another brand once I got rid of my 2017.
@@djkenny1202 I was looking to update with more safety features, for traveling with my Granddaughter. I was going to go with the New Mitsubishi until, I found out Nissan now has a hand in it, not to mention no spare tire, so that was a deal breaker for me.
Just picked up our 3rd Mitsubishi the last two never cost me any big money ,tires brakes, wipers and oil change thats it ! 1999 Mitsubishi Montero Sport then a 2010 Endeavor and now a 2022 Outlander So I hope to have the same good luck with this one !
This vehicle was designed to be a PHEV. This Nissan shared powertrain is just a placeholder for that. Once the PHEV is out, sales will be through the roof. Slam dunk for Mitsubishi. Now we need a 350hp PHEV lancer :)
I hope Mitsu recovers to what they were in the 90's. my family had a incredibly reliable 90 Eclipse. Those 4G63's where great engines. It was originally my sisters and when she moved she left it behind. It sat for 2 years never being moved. I changed the oil, battery, kept some fuel stabilizer in it. Started it up on my first try and sold it to an acquaintance of mine. Then he promptly smashed it over a curb and through a fence a month later.
The 2022 Outlander GT rocks! Just bought one in Red Diamond Pearl/ light grey leather interior diamond stitched. Stunning! A top Insurance bureau safety pick and. a 10 yr/180k engine & trasmition warranty. 10plus! Luv it watch out competition!💕👍
I just bought the new Mitsubishi Outlander and I love it. It’s a beautiful car. The downside is that it has two recalls you have to remedy for your safety. A computer malfunction that can be set at the dealership, and a flapping hood malfunction that is extremely dangerous at highway speeds that can be ordered and installed at the dealership upon request. They have to add a piece of rubber under the hood to prevent air from making the hood move while going highway speeds. Don’t go over the 24,000 miles if you want Mitsubishi to take responsibility for all the recalls and possible car replacement. Other than that it’s a great car and feels luxurious! Everyone is in awe of my new car and all the features!
The Outlander actually has a different engine than the 22/23 Nissan Rogue, which has a 1.5L Turbo 3-cylinder. It has more power and torque but I think this 2.5L 4-cylinder is a proven engine and will most likely last longer without issues.
GO MITSUBISHI!!! Hey Zane, Thanks for a very fair and insightful review. All my past and current Mitsubishis and Nissans have been awesome, fun and extremely reliable! I'm elated at the corporate alliance between the two companies. I've driven the outgoing Outlander PHEV twice and came away extremely impressed!! Ultra-smooth, seemless operation. In fact, I would say Mitsubishi's hybrid system is far smoother than any of the clunky ones from Toyota/Lexus or Honda. As you mentioned in the video, this new Outlander is bold and has an eye-catching design. My 2009 Galant 2.4L (4G69) has been a solid performer with bulletproof reliability. I'm also nearing 200K miles with my 2011 cube SL with its original CVT (CVT fluid changed every 30-35K miles at the dealers). Absolutely no regrets at all. Mitsubishi is extremely underrated here in the US, but I still love them!
I have a 2021 Outlander and i have had ZERO issues. And they are actually Made In Japan, not in Mexico. I also expressly bought the base model because I don't want to be constantly nagged by obnoxious automation like lane departure, adaptive cruise control, stop start etc etc. And the climate system has round knobs and physical buttons, it is not touch screen which is more difficult to use when driving spiritedly
I have a 2022 Outlander GT...loaded...bought new in 2021. Fast forward to 2025...I have just 12 K on it. I have another car & I travel for 4-6 months a year. I bought the brilliant red with the light grey diamond stitched interior luv, luv, luv this exceptional Crossover. Everything about it is absolutely beautiful (in my opinion). I'm so impressed with it's brilliant driving features, excellent fit & finish inside & out. To anyone out there who puts this vechile down because they say that the 2.5 litre engine is underpowered...go away! This crossover has several drive modes. Just dial it to Tarmack mode...the equivalent of Sport Mode ( The GM of my Dealership didn't know this). There is absolutely no truth that this Outlander is underpowered. I have driven it from Ontario to NL & back. It felt sporty, safe & had more than sufficient acceleration when passing or merging. I also owned a 2019 Porsche Cayenne...I know that you can't compare the two as being the same vehicles...I enjoyed the Outlander more on that same road trip. The Outlander was more comfortable by far than the Cayenne for one. It handled as well on the Highway & it had Mi Piolet...which I found to be an amazing safety feature! The Outlander has received many awards since the current edition was introduced in 2021. I advise anyone considering purchasing one to do so. Don't take my word...just take the time to view some of the videos of people even retired Automotive Engineers & Professionals who are so surprised & impressed with how good this crossover is. JD Power rates it higher than Nissan, Subaru & others!👍🏻
Last long-term-rental I had was the Outlander sport. I liked it over RAV4, Rouge, Compass. Drove cross country 3x. I went out and bought one, more than happy.
My wife just bought a 2022 Mitsubishi outlander SEL and our mind had blown away with so many features only found on luxury cars.😮 Good job Mitsubishi👌🥳😛
@@JIMMY-ck1oe you said u tried, but never owned one so thats the diffence. Its easy to compare if you only had the car for a couple of hours. 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander SEL are one of the cars that are actually built in Japan!
I love the new redesign, and it's awesome that it shares tids and bits of Nissan. I don't care what anyone says, for what you pay for it's on top of my list for a new vehicle!
I have the new 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander for a busy mother like me is working great my first Mitsubishi so happy !!it comes with a 10 year warranty by that time I'll get my second Mitsubishi.
Just purchased the 2023 Mistubishi Outlander SEL less than 2 weeks ago and it is amazing!! Comfortable inside. A lot of technology and safety features. Just a smooth ride. Going to take it on a 4-5 hour trip at the end of July and looking forward to a great drive. All you comments were spot on.
My husband purchased a Mitsubishi Outlander GT V6 brand new 2014 for me in 2014. This was the best car/suv I've ever had. It came with lane departure warning, back up camera, brake assist and front collision warning, You name it , and hit had it, and this was 2014. The car is 100 percent reliable and it can fly. I replaced my 2005 Chrysler Pacifica with the Outlander. The Chrysler Pacifica was the worst car/suv I've ever owned,( If you can even call it a car/suv.) And if you have one, I don't have to explain. I told Chrysler people, if I ever come back for another Chrysler or Jeep or anything associated with Chrysler, just kill me because I'm too stupid to live. I still have my 2014 Mitsubishi and I drive it more than my brand new Mazda CX-5. The only reason I didn't get another Outlander is because it has the CVT now, no thanks. If it ain't broke don't fix it.
On my second outlander sport always do schedule maintenance- first issue happened at 115k miles with catalytic converter in on my second with 77k and no issues! Get great gas mileage, i just wish the seats had lumbar support and were more comfortable.
We got a 2023 (SE) and are generally impressed... one major hiccup is if the front sensor is occluded/clouded/obstructed... the car appears to get confused and grovels in partial apoplexy... it will go into reduced power mode, with accompanying red warning signs all over that digital dash (happened to us in 6-lanes of Chicago Friday evening rush hour in a dirty/misty drizzle with no place to pull over...). Once we were able to stop (car had less that 5K miles at that point), and restart the engine... it reset, and all was well... lesson from this is to clean the sensor area when getting gas -- just a good swipe with the window cleaning squeegee... hasn't occurred since... one very BIG plus is the fuel mileage -- the trip computer might be lying to me, but I don't think so, and I routinely get better than 33mpg even in stop-n-go DC rush hours, with road averages in the 35-37mpg range at interstate speeds... the seats are quite comfortable for long trips (20hr driving days or more...) and I'm getting used to the driver assist steering which is a good feature, but a tad distracting at first... otherwise, the Outlander seems to be much as described here... Mitsubishi appears to have done their homework; we'll know more in a 100K miles or so...
Unfortunately I bought a 2023 Outlander SE this May 2023 with 47 miles on it and by 200 miles I had issues. It has been back to the dearer 3x by 800 miles with infotainment/electrical issues they cannot figure out. The dealer has had my car for 5 days now and they are saying I am not the only person having this issue. I've contacted a lemon lawyer since they aren't offering me anything. You've been warned. Do NOT recommend
On my 2nd Mitsubishi and have no complaints. Awesome in Minnesota winters, do have winter tires, and great on gas. Former Toyota owner and they both are great.
Why does America hate Mitsubishi cars so much? I own a 2016 Outlander and never have problems, just routine oil change done every 3 months. Compared to my Toyota and honda cars, the outlander has served me well.
Having sold cars for 11+ years, I know which cars are reliable and which ones have the most complaints. And having owned a Mitsubishi from 2009 to 2019, and from then 'til now, I can vouch for their quality and reliability. If I had to replace my '19 Eclipse Cross I would not hesitate to head to my local Mitsubishi dealer and buy another one.
Even though both Nissan and Mitsubishi use JATCO CVTs, Mitsu has a better track record with them in regards to longevity. This new Outlander though is 100 percent Nissan Rogue under the hood. This doesn't bode well for reliability. Mitsubishi programs their JATCO CVTs with INVECS III programming, arguably better reliability, and they also tend to have under-powered engines in order to lessen the stress on the CVT.
Less power output usually means you’re deep into the throttle to get juice out of this thing. This vehicle was designed with a PHEV in mind. This powertrain is just a placeholder for that.
@@fleghel There are key physical manufacturing differences of JATCO CVT7 & CVT8 between Nissan, Mitsubishi, and Suzuki. For one thing, the CVT7 in the Mirage comes with a better oil cooler and a dipstick to check the cvt fluid.
@@kylemas2005 Jatco transmissions were dropping right and left in Nissan and Jeep products but other manufacturers didn't have any problems with them. Only had two cars in my life with transmission failures, one was a Toyota and the other was a Honda, both around 100,000 miles. I personally wouldn't buy the Outlander with mostly Nissan running gear. I don't buy a Mitsubishi to get Nissans bad reliability .
I've had 3 mitsus in the past, and my current wife had a 2019 Outlander that she loved. She wanted to get a new one in 2022 but there is no dealership within one and a half hours from us. The local dealer in Columbia, S.C. closed. She now has a 2022 CR-V.
Exactly my issue. Had two 2010 Lancers and while both were trouble free they did have a couple of minor recalls and the nearest dealer was 65 miles away. When it came time to replace them I bought a Subaru that I can get serviced locally.
My 2012 RVR (outlander in Canada) is rusting from the inside out. It lives in a garage, no salt on roads, very low mileage. They kept pushing off the repair until they could say it's no longer under warranty. They had a recall to spray the undercarriage for rush protection but say it's unrelated to the paint issue (!!??).
I have got outlander phev 2023 in Sydney Ausyralia. They really feel luxiorious and joyful to drive. Aside from availability it is not that expensive to maintain.
I have 2 mitsubishis here in the UK, a 2015 Outlander and a 2006 Shogun, without doubt the best cars I have ever owned, totally reliable and lovely to drive
In 1999 I bought a 1992 Mitsubishi Mirage for $2500 from a dead man’s estate sale. It had less than 40,000 miles on it. Drove it for seven years until it developed rust holes in the floor/wheelwell that soaked the backseat if you drove the car after it rained. In 2006 we got a Saturn Ion. The dealership was only offering $500 for the Mirage as a trade-in so instead I gave it to my mother-in-law that didn’t have any car at the time. MIL drove that car until 2016. It had 270,000 miles on it. It met its demise at the Franklin County Fair demolition derby. It did not win the subcompact heat 😢
I had a few Mitsubishis a Galant gts, 3 eclipses a 2016 outlander base and I just bought my wife last year the 2022 SEL Special edition and I can honestly say imo they are really good cars and the new 2022 is a big bang for the buck! I got leather power seats , navigation Xmas radio and apple car play as well a nice screen and all surround cameras and sensors as well heated seats what more can you ask for? For the price point and all the stuff you get compared to any other cross over/cuv the Outlander has them beat in every category.
I knew Mitsubishi is reliable too...we had 2 of them today...and is really nice....even in the 90's...Mitsubishi is sooo nice...only others who don't understand...misjudge Mitsu
Test drove one twice recently ...you feel like your driving a V8 ...but it's only inline four ...you feel like your in a man's car ...very cool look from drivers windshield ✌
The wife and I looked really hard at this one! Beautiful vehicle, nice body lines and awesome interior! Really wished it had more power and an 8 speed transmission. We wound up getting a CX-5 Mazda carbon edition with turbo and all wheel drive! 225 hp and red leather interior to boot! All for the same price as the Outlander, after the dealer discounted it by 2 grand. Would have definitely been the winner had the Outlander had more power and a better transmission.
We own the outlander...it has plenty of speed and it does have an 8 speed transmission...I can pretty much do anything I want on the freeway in a xover
Also the fact that the Outlander is a rebadged Nissan Rogue since nissan merged with Mitsubishi and Renault. The only thing that you get is a third row seats.
@@Jase583 After driving one, I feel it’s enough power and the CVT is nice once you get use to it, very smooth, though I’m not a fan of fake gear shifting…in sport mode it does hold the devs though which is perfect.
Everyone talks about the great warranty. Better than Honda, Toyota. The warranty is only good as the one standing behind it, and the dealership that wants to help. With all the shipping and parts issues good luck if something breaks and needs replaced . Dealer network in our area is way smaller than Honda or Toyota, for Mitsubishi! Sorry my money for longevity is Toyota, then Honda. And resale value as well!
Grateful for this video, I have never owned a Mitsubishi and have not heard very much about them. I have usually owned luxury vehicles and currently own a Maserati, which I do not recommend unless there’s a dealership nearby. I love the look of the new Mitsubishi and this video was very informative. Thank you!
I have owned two Mitsubishis and happy with them. However Mitsubishi motors falls for the same crap like others car manufacturers to put 4 cylinder engines on their prime model. Just to save some money for themselves. My Outlander 2018 is 6 cylinder 220 hp. Why Brute why?
The well-known automotive UA-camr Scotty Kilmer said Mitsubishis are very solid if you buy a new model or find a low mileage well-maintained one and drive it for 100k (obviously needs regular oil changes and wear & tear maintenance).. they start falling apart after 100k.. although, I personally had a 2011 Galant that was running fine with 175k miles.. before it got totaled 😷
I have a 2004 Outlander, diamond white, limo black tint, flow master exhaust, 17 inch bbs knock offs, kybs on 235/55/17 all season tires.Runs awesome, sunroof, heated seats, burns some oil. It has 316K on the clock. I'm ready for another new 2025 Outlander with black leather.
As an owner FYI, , 2018 to 2022 Mitsubishi Outlanders got faulty heater. 2022 Outlanders got faulty hood. And more. Please do your homework before you make a decision. There are so many class action lawsuits against Mitsubishi.
I've owned a 1999 Galant V6, then traded it in for a 2003 Eclipse GTS. A 2nd 2003 Galant for our oldest daughter for college then finally we bought a 2008 regular Lancer for our youngest daughter for college. Other than the 1999 Galant all of us have kept our Mitsubishis. They're excellent in every way!
i want a new 2023 eclipse and i hope you drive it first but im set on it soon i hope!great review for very underrated cars.i owned 5 and the only issues were in the late 1990 and 1999!
Hi Zane, never heard of you until this vid. You have something up on the "great" Scotty Kilmer. You both talked about the Mitsubishi Outlander. However only you seem to have realized it's a rebadged Nissan Rogue with a third row seat. Scotty seemed to not realize this. Amazing.
You should do an updated video, because a lot of cars are showing quality issues, from a shaking hood while driving at speed, door cushion not tight enough to prevent whistling, leather in seat not staying where it is supposed to be, oh and that's not all.
Take it back to the dealer, they have a fix for it now and the flutter goes away. Only affected early Outlanders, current Outlanders don't have this issue anymore.
If owners change the CVT fluid every 30-40K miles, they'll be fine. I've got almost 200K miles on my 2011 cube with its original CVT still running smooth and seamless. My 2011 Juke's CVT was still going strong when I sold it last year. I REALLY miss that li'l bug-eye beast!!!! Maintaining a vehicle according to the manufacturer's recommendations does wonders....Sadly, most owners of CVT-equipped Nissan are unaware of this, as they likely don't service their Nissans at the dealership. Toyota, Honda, Subaru, Dodge, Audi/VW have ALL had CVT failures in their closet. I personally know two Corolla owners who paid out-of-pocket for their CVT replacements. 2014-2015 Honda Accords as well. Most of these acquaintances sold their Corollas/Accords to the next sucker.
2022 Mitsubishi outlander: An impressive 86% quality and reliability rate by "JD Power" An outstanding almost 50% resale value after 5 years of ownership Mitsubishi is among top 6 reliable brand out of all 32 brands of cars by "repairpal"
One thing I know it drinks fuel if you are doing lot of mileage and don’t have the time to charge. Other then that it’s a fantastic car. If the battery range was bigger it would be amazing
It gives you 35-40 miles on EV (this is plug in hybrid) and if you want to use it economically you need to keep charging it otherwise it consumes a lot of fuel
Yes it is sh It's a beautiful car but but: 1. Not much storage compartments inside, the ones provided are very small, with lots of useable space not used. 2. The lane asist is accessed through a complicated setting menu, not a stearing wheel button like most cars. 3. The bonnet does not slant downwards so it's kinda in your face limiting visibility when trying to park 4. Yes visibility all round is generally poor, 5. True suspension is very firm, not comfy. 6. The dash board volume button does not have backlights so invisible when driving at night 7. The adaptive cruise control is not adaptive. It does not respond to cars in front quickly enough. It will stop if the car in front stops then disengage cruise control and start moving forward - not safe and pathetic - unlike other cars where the car stops and even alerts you when the car in front moves. 8. It jerks on acceleration, not a smooth take off at all. 9. It's got this feature where if the door is not fully closed and you start to drive it stops. But before stopping it goes through a melt down with alarms going off but not showing what the issue is, I thought there was a major problem 😡 10. But it looks cool
As the Nissan Rogue's funky twin sister I think the Mitsubishi is more appealing and the Plug In version is mega appealing at least for me. The only one down side is I am really in the market for a Highlander size offering.
I think your premise is false. Most people know that Mistubishi make some great vehicles. Most Outlander owners love them and they have a solid rep all over the world. All your clickbait title and intro does is actually help create a negative view that doesn't really exist.
Been thinking of buying one, until now.... The moment you mentioned Nissan being involved I got a shudder through my spine. Nissan is known for having a crap CVT on its X-trail, even looking at second hand cars to buy. The X-trail is flooding the secondhand SUV market, with low, low kilometers. Proving the customers want to get rid of the asap. So, if this car shares the gearbox of a Nissan, Mitsubishi will soon also flood the second hand market cheap cheap.
I have this car and it makes me nervous that it does not come with a spare tire... also the bad design on the hood makes you feel like the hood its gonna fly away! ... so far I've had 3 recalls on this car....
The Mud mode and Auto mode does the stuff that the old one do just keep it in that mode, traction control on and voala you've got the same capable car the only downside is the engine the old one has a more powerful V6 option so that's why it didn't struggle as much
I live in an area that gets bad snow drifts. I stress out and cramp up just being a passenger. Got mine in Sept. First year I didn't stress. First year that I got home in two hours or less each time instead of the three+ normally. I do agree they need better explanation on drive modes to maximize there usages but they do have their usage.
We have a 2022 outlander awc. Put BF Goodrich trail t/a on. 26000 miles. Problems 0. I do all the maintenance. Dealership are scammers. Tried to say needed back rotors and shoes. Daughter knew better. They look new.
Just bought my 2nd mitsubishi and my outlander already has a bad sensor after the fact I had a sensor bad on my eclipse cross too 🙄 I'm over these damn sensors. This one is my forward collision mitigation one that's in the windshield. If there's an update they need to do it if not then I'll have to wait 3-6 months for a new windshield. I'm not happy with this issue
the probleme for me is that it dosent ave the v6 any more i cant tow my camper with the new model but it looks realy good i will ave to keep my 2015 model for now
Look at what else the CMF C/D platform is used on, plenty of cars including Nissan Sentra. Generally these days, SUV is a term used for full framed, truck based vehicles like 4Runner, Suburban etc.
We own 7 Mitsubishi including the new 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander and we are very happy with Mitsubishi cars no issues at all just regular maintenance and the look of their cars is just really cool.
Good feedback. The car overall looks amazing except I'm a bit iffy about the front-end. How do you feel about not having a spare tire?
Trouble is That it is no longer Mitsubishi. It is Nissan. I would not buy a Nissan engineered car.
When I try to compare it with other brands like Rav4 or CRV, it’s cheaply made for its price tag. I tried closing doors from different generations of Outlanders and they all feel hollow, nothing from them have a nice satisfying thump
@@Dad_Life13 Besides all Mitsubishi we also own a 2006 Tacoma and a 2021 Toyota Rav4 because we also love Toyota but if we compared the Rav4 with the 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander the Outlander is just better equipped, better looking and better warranty not to mention is slightly bigger so in our experience Mitsubishi Outlander take the first place. 🥇
I have a 2019 Outlander. It’s the best bang for the buck. My daughter bought the CRV ( very nice suv - reliable good on gas, lasts forever ) but she paid about 8k more than I did for the same features and there is no third row seat option with the CRV. Love the Honda but when the grandkids are up it’s nice to have the third row. I’ve had absolutely zero problems with the Outlander. I only have 27k miles on it but there is no indication that a problem will develop. Might trade it in for the 2022 ( love the new look) but haven’t decided yet. Not sure Mitsubishi will deal on the new changed Outlander.
I just bought my 5th mitsubishi, I have owned the Mirage, G4, Outlander, Outlander Sport. None of them have had any problems. Just oil changes and tire rotations every 6 months. They have been more reliable than any other Japanese car brand I have owned.
I confirm the same experience: almost no repairs and basic maintenance.
Same here!
i've owned my 2015 outlander GT for 2 years now and it has pure just... such a hassle-free experience. it's my first ever used car, and damn it took me a while to find a second hand car worth buying (literally months going after cars and taking them to my mechanic to give me the greenlight, he even did it for free, great guy), but it paid off big time. i love this thing. it still feels pretty new, even smells new. just turned over 70 thousand km last month.
I just finally junked my 2004 mitsubishi endeavor after 245000 miles. I bought it new almost 20 years ago. It also became my daughter's car for high school. The transmission died. The most reliable car I've ever had. I miss it. 😢. The moon is 238000 miles away from earth ,the puts it in perspective.
I had 3 through the years and absolutely never any problems...Thinking about Outlander
Mitsubishi makes reliable cars. People who disagree don’t know anything about cars. Prove me wrong.
They use to , now its got a Nissan drive line . Bye bye reliability.
2014 outlander . On 4th transmission...... 2 oem transmissions... then you have to get Frankensteined transmissions because there are no spare parts.
Clearly you don’t know anything about cars hank, you look at a car brand and automatically assume it’s good and don’t look at facts
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽❤
My brother has a 2016 Outlander with the 2.5 inline 4 cylinder non-turbo paired with CVT Trans. Has put 230,000 miles in the Texas heat with zero issues.
Not happy with the title of the video. Please change. It takes years and effort to build a good car and giving such a title to review a car do not deserve it.
I recently bought the vehicle, but haven't got the delivery yet. For me, I see this car as value for the money, it gives you all things a luxury car can give you at a high price.
Other than 3rd-row seating, which is only useful for kids, that's the only disadvantage I find.
and yes, could be a little bit bumpy on some Australian rough roads due to 20'' wheels. (Not sure, but mentioned by other reviewers)
A lot of reviewers claim, it is not performing well when you accelerate. C'mon reviewers this is not a performance vehicle, not meant to be for that. It is a family car, designed for city and Urban drive.
well i didn't really like the 3 minute intro just exposing personal biases. i mean, who cares what you thought before trying it? just review the damn car objectively.
@GraveUypo I think he makes a good quick point about the nay-sayers. He's pointing out that there is undue bias, for the people who may have read alot of negative things.
Mitsubishi is an excellent example of the power of marketing ( or lack thereof ). 20 years ago Mitsu had a great well-earned reputation, not quite Toyota or Honda level reliability, but above virtually every other Japanese brand and two planets apart from any American car. Then the parent company spun them off and, now on their own, they didn't have the financial resources to keep up with Toyota and Honda. So, they just soldiered on for 20 years selling about 125K/year of cheap ( but bulletproof) Japanese built cars and SUVs to people who could not afford much better. However that gave them a bad reputation, erasing the good one. Now, they build one decent SUV and a whole generation is like "whoa, Mitsu builds good cars???" Yet, that same generation of people has no idea that Hyundai and Kia used license-built Mitsubishi engines almost the entire time they have been sold in the US. Only around 2015 was Hyundai / Kia able to use engines they themselves designed.
Sounds like to me they need one Fast car for the young audience
Mitsubishi was spun off from MHI on 1970, before they even officially debuted in the US. That didn't play a factor in anything. It was the "0-0-0" sales event that hurt the most.
This!
the recall scandal, Asian financial crash, epa violation scandal, did not help them. I think they tried to get to big to fast and could not compete with Toyota/Honda. Also the reg maintenance tended to be expensive/ parts expensive idk if it was economy of scale issue. but having a 1200-2k timing job every 5 years probably got old fast. I hope they are able to recover in NA and make parts for their current and older vehicles.
WELL-SAID!!!
I'm on my third Mitsubishi and 👀 this one as well. Say what you want Mitsubishi cars are well built and can last a very long time, with proper maintenance. All of my cars have been taken back to the Dealership for service. Kudos on the new 2022, who knows I may make this my Christmas gift to myself.
I'd be peanut butter and jealous if you did. I want one!
But it is a Nissan engine. Keep your Mitsubishis.
@@djkenny1202 only the new Mitsubishi has the Nissan engine, not the older models. P.S. It's why I decided to go with another brand once I got rid of my 2017.
@@gigijackson410 why did you give up such a late model car so soon?
@@djkenny1202 I was looking to update with more safety features, for traveling with my Granddaughter. I was going to go with the New Mitsubishi until, I found out Nissan now has a hand in it, not to mention no spare tire, so that was a deal breaker for me.
Just picked up our 3rd Mitsubishi the last two never cost me any big money ,tires brakes, wipers and oil change thats it ! 1999 Mitsubishi Montero Sport then a 2010 Endeavor and now a 2022 Outlander So I hope to have the same good luck with this one !
That's awesome! Good luck. Let us know how it goes and what you think as time goes on.
This vehicle was designed to be a PHEV. This Nissan shared powertrain is just a placeholder for that. Once the PHEV is out, sales will be through the roof. Slam dunk for Mitsubishi. Now we need a 350hp PHEV lancer :)
I hope Mitsu recovers to what they were in the 90's. my family had a incredibly reliable 90 Eclipse. Those 4G63's where great engines. It was originally my sisters and when she moved she left it behind. It sat for 2 years never being moved. I changed the oil, battery, kept some fuel stabilizer in it. Started it up on my first try and sold it to an acquaintance of mine.
Then he promptly smashed it over a curb and through a fence a month later.
The 2022 Outlander GT rocks! Just bought one in Red Diamond Pearl/ light grey leather interior diamond stitched. Stunning! A top Insurance bureau safety pick and. a 10 yr/180k engine & trasmition warranty. 10plus! Luv it watch out competition!💕👍
I just bought the new Mitsubishi Outlander and I love it. It’s a beautiful car. The downside is that it has two recalls you have to remedy for your safety. A computer malfunction that can be set at the dealership, and a flapping hood malfunction that is extremely dangerous at highway speeds that can be ordered and installed at the dealership upon request. They have to add a piece of rubber under the hood to prevent air from making the hood move while going highway speeds. Don’t go over the 24,000 miles if you want Mitsubishi to take responsibility for all the recalls and possible car replacement. Other than that it’s a great car and feels luxurious! Everyone is in awe of my new car and all the features!
OMG, why would I want one. Those sound like major problems.
No, they are recalls, so fixed for free, so not a problem.
I tried new outlander last year but the engine is quite struggling compared to crv or other cars
Any issues with it since you posted this?
@@Dagon8661 no more problems after recalls were repaired and it’s great on gas but I wouldn’t buy another Mitsubishi 🥹
The Outlander actually has a different engine than the 22/23 Nissan Rogue, which has a 1.5L Turbo 3-cylinder. It has more power and torque but I think this 2.5L 4-cylinder is a proven engine and will most likely last longer without issues.
GO MITSUBISHI!!! Hey Zane, Thanks for a very fair and insightful review. All my past and current Mitsubishis and Nissans have been awesome, fun and extremely reliable! I'm elated at the corporate alliance between the two companies. I've driven the outgoing Outlander PHEV twice and came away extremely impressed!! Ultra-smooth, seemless operation. In fact, I would say Mitsubishi's hybrid system is far smoother than any of the clunky ones from Toyota/Lexus or Honda. As you mentioned in the video, this new Outlander is bold and has an eye-catching design. My 2009 Galant 2.4L (4G69) has been a solid performer with bulletproof reliability. I'm also nearing 200K miles with my 2011 cube SL with its original CVT (CVT fluid changed every 30-35K miles at the dealers). Absolutely no regrets at all. Mitsubishi is extremely underrated here in the US, but I still love them!
I have a 2021 Outlander and i have had ZERO issues. And they are actually Made In Japan, not in Mexico. I also expressly bought the base model because I don't want to be constantly nagged by obnoxious automation like lane departure, adaptive cruise control, stop start etc etc. And the climate system has round knobs and physical buttons, it is not touch screen which is more difficult to use when driving spiritedly
I have a 2022 Outlander GT...loaded...bought new in 2021. Fast forward to 2025...I have just 12 K on it. I have another car & I travel for 4-6 months a year. I bought the brilliant red with the light grey diamond stitched interior luv, luv, luv this exceptional Crossover. Everything about it is absolutely beautiful (in my opinion). I'm so impressed with it's brilliant driving features, excellent fit & finish inside & out. To anyone out there who puts this vechile down because they say that the 2.5 litre engine is underpowered...go away! This crossover has several drive modes. Just dial it to Tarmack mode...the equivalent of Sport Mode ( The GM of my Dealership didn't know this). There is absolutely no truth that this Outlander is underpowered. I have driven it from Ontario to NL & back. It felt sporty, safe & had more than sufficient acceleration when passing or merging. I also owned a 2019 Porsche Cayenne...I know that you can't compare the two as being the same vehicles...I enjoyed the Outlander more on that same road trip. The Outlander was more comfortable by far than the Cayenne for one. It handled as well on the Highway & it had Mi Piolet...which I found to be an amazing safety feature! The Outlander has received many awards since the current edition was introduced in 2021. I advise anyone considering purchasing one to do so. Don't take my word...just take the time to view some of the videos of people even retired Automotive Engineers & Professionals who are so surprised & impressed with how good this crossover is. JD Power rates it higher than Nissan, Subaru & others!👍🏻
Last long-term-rental I had was the Outlander sport. I liked it over RAV4, Rouge, Compass. Drove cross country 3x. I went out and bought one, more than happy.
My wife just bought a 2022 Mitsubishi outlander SEL and our mind had blown away with so many features only found on luxury cars.😮 Good job Mitsubishi👌🥳😛
I tried new outlander last year but the engine is quite struggling compared to crv or other cars
@@JIMMY-ck1oe you said u tried, but never owned one so thats the diffence. Its easy to compare if you only had the car for a couple of hours. 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander SEL are one of the cars that are actually built in Japan!

I really love it don't care what everyone says it looks beautiful period

👍
We love ours too!!

@ceasararcejr7390 did you buy one ?
I have the new 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander for a busy mother like me is working great my first Mitsubishi so happy !!it comes with a 10 year warranty by that time I'll get my second Mitsubishi.
Just purchased the 2023 Mistubishi Outlander SEL less than 2 weeks ago and it is amazing!! Comfortable inside. A lot of technology and safety features. Just a smooth ride. Going to take it on a 4-5 hour trip at the end of July and looking forward to a great drive. All you comments were spot on.
A year later; what's your assessment? Especially for that long 4-5 hr trip???
My husband purchased a Mitsubishi Outlander GT V6 brand new 2014 for me in 2014. This was the best car/suv I've ever had. It came with lane departure warning, back up camera, brake assist and front collision warning, You name it , and hit had it, and this was 2014. The car is 100 percent reliable and it can fly. I replaced my 2005 Chrysler Pacifica with the Outlander. The Chrysler Pacifica was the worst car/suv I've ever owned,( If you can even call it a car/suv.) And if you have one, I don't have to explain. I told Chrysler people, if I ever come back for another Chrysler or Jeep or anything associated with Chrysler, just kill me because I'm too stupid to live. I still have my 2014 Mitsubishi and I drive it more than my brand new Mazda CX-5. The only reason I didn't get another Outlander is because it has the CVT now, no thanks. If it ain't broke don't fix it.
Well said. Your Outlander was Proven. Nissan, CVTs… this Spells Bad Things.
On my second outlander sport always do schedule maintenance- first issue happened at 115k miles with catalytic converter in on my second with 77k and no issues! Get great gas mileage, i just wish the seats had lumbar support and were more comfortable.
We got a 2023 (SE) and are generally impressed... one major hiccup is if the front sensor is occluded/clouded/obstructed... the car appears to get confused and grovels in partial apoplexy... it will go into reduced power mode, with accompanying red warning signs all over that digital dash (happened to us in 6-lanes of Chicago Friday evening rush hour in a dirty/misty drizzle with no place to pull over...). Once we were able to stop (car had less that 5K miles at that point), and restart the engine... it reset, and all was well... lesson from this is to clean the sensor area when getting gas -- just a good swipe with the window cleaning squeegee... hasn't occurred since... one very BIG plus is the fuel mileage -- the trip computer might be lying to me, but I don't think so, and I routinely get better than 33mpg even in stop-n-go DC rush hours, with road averages in the 35-37mpg range at interstate speeds... the seats are quite comfortable for long trips (20hr driving days or more...) and I'm getting used to the driver assist steering which is a good feature, but a tad distracting at first... otherwise, the Outlander seems to be much as described here... Mitsubishi appears to have done their homework; we'll know more in a 100K miles or so...
Unfortunately I bought a 2023 Outlander SE this May 2023 with 47 miles on it and by 200 miles I had issues. It has been back to the dearer 3x by 800 miles with infotainment/electrical issues they cannot figure out. The dealer has had my car for 5 days now and they are saying I am not the only person having this issue. I've contacted a lemon lawyer since they aren't offering me anything. You've been warned. Do NOT recommend
It's a simple repair by replacing the touch screen. In my country it's a very simple fix. Why your dealer can't work it out is a huge question
Mitsubishi is very reliable. They come with excellent warranty and lower prices than Honda or Toyota.
On my 2nd Mitsubishi and have no complaints. Awesome in Minnesota winters, do have winter tires, and great on gas. Former Toyota owner and they both are great.
I tried new outlander last year but the engine is quite struggling compared to crv or other cars
Why does America hate Mitsubishi cars so much? I own a 2016 Outlander and never have problems, just routine oil change done every 3 months. Compared to my Toyota and honda cars, the outlander has served me well.
I have 2008 mitsubishi lancer that has 317,625 miles with mostly routine maintenance.
Such a great vehicle. Sharp and competitive.
I have purchased a 2022 Mitsubishi PHEV VRX 4WD and very satisfied. This is vehicle number 5 for me from this stable, need I say more.
Having sold cars for 11+ years, I know which cars are reliable and which ones have the most complaints. And having owned a Mitsubishi from 2009 to 2019, and from then 'til now, I can vouch for their quality and reliability. If I had to replace my '19 Eclipse Cross I would not hesitate to head to my local Mitsubishi dealer and buy another one.
Rav4 or Outlander?
@@MrNoNoNoNyEclipse Cross. But the Outlander if the EC were not an option. Either of the 3 would be good choices though.
Even though both Nissan and Mitsubishi use JATCO CVTs, Mitsu has a better track record with them in regards to longevity. This new Outlander though is 100 percent Nissan Rogue under the hood. This doesn't bode well for reliability. Mitsubishi programs their JATCO CVTs with INVECS III programming, arguably better reliability, and they also tend to have under-powered engines in order to lessen the stress on the CVT.
Less power output usually means you’re deep into the throttle to get juice out of this thing. This vehicle was designed with a PHEV in mind. This powertrain is just a placeholder for that.
It’s like arguing which way of leaking toilet seats is nicer: same CVT, from the same supplier, used in cheap vehicles… “but programmed differently!”
@@fleghel There are key physical manufacturing differences of JATCO CVT7 & CVT8 between Nissan, Mitsubishi, and Suzuki. For one thing, the CVT7 in the Mirage comes with a better oil cooler and a dipstick to check the cvt fluid.
@@kylemas2005
Jatco transmissions were dropping right and left in Nissan and Jeep products but other manufacturers didn't have any problems with them. Only had two cars in my life with transmission failures, one was a Toyota and the other was a Honda, both around 100,000 miles. I personally wouldn't buy the Outlander with mostly Nissan running gear. I don't buy a Mitsubishi to get Nissans bad reliability .
I love mine! Ive got the most basic one but with the nice rims. Looks and feels expensive without having to be expensive.
I've had 3 mitsus in the past, and my current wife had a 2019 Outlander that she loved. She wanted to get a new one in 2022 but there is no dealership within one and a half hours from us. The local dealer in Columbia, S.C. closed. She now has a 2022 CR-V.
Exactly my issue. Had two 2010 Lancers and while both were trouble free they did have a couple of minor recalls and the nearest dealer was 65 miles away. When it came time to replace them I bought a Subaru that I can get serviced locally.
My 2012 RVR (outlander in Canada) is rusting from the inside out. It lives in a garage, no salt on roads, very low mileage. They kept pushing off the repair until they could say it's no longer under warranty. They had a recall to spray the undercarriage for rush protection but say it's unrelated to the paint issue (!!??).
I have got outlander phev 2023 in Sydney Ausyralia. They really feel luxiorious and joyful to drive. Aside from availability it is not that expensive to maintain.
Mitsubishi made my favorite car when I was a kid, the 3000gt. Always been a dream of mine to get one and restore it to it's full glory
I have 2 mitsubishis here in the UK, a 2015 Outlander and a 2006 Shogun, without doubt the best cars I have ever owned, totally reliable and lovely to drive
In 1999 I bought a 1992 Mitsubishi Mirage for $2500 from a dead man’s estate sale. It had less than 40,000 miles on it.
Drove it for seven years until it developed rust holes in the floor/wheelwell that soaked the backseat if you drove the car after it rained.
In 2006 we got a Saturn Ion. The dealership was only offering $500 for the Mirage as a trade-in so instead I gave it to my mother-in-law that didn’t have any car at the time.
MIL drove that car until 2016. It had 270,000 miles on it. It met its demise at the Franklin County Fair demolition derby. It did not win the subcompact heat 😢
I had a few Mitsubishis a Galant gts, 3 eclipses a 2016 outlander base and I just bought my wife last year the 2022 SEL Special edition and I can honestly say imo they are really good cars and the new 2022 is a big bang for the buck! I got leather power seats , navigation Xmas radio and apple car play as well a nice screen and all surround cameras and sensors as well heated seats what more can you ask for? For the price point and all the stuff you get compared to any other cross over/cuv the Outlander has them beat in every category.
I knew Mitsubishi is reliable too...we had 2 of them today...and is really nice....even in the 90's...Mitsubishi is sooo nice...only others who don't understand...misjudge Mitsu
I just got mine it was a gift
the top of the line one in black I luv it I luv! it! Btw I do shop at the dollar 25 store 😆😆😆and we make over 6 figures
This brand used to be so popular during the 80`s and 90`s , i`m glad its coming back.

@@MapleSyrupPoet I tried new outlander last year but the engine is quite struggling compared to crv or other cars
The wife and I looked really hard at this one! Beautiful vehicle, nice body lines and awesome interior! Really wished it had more power and an 8 speed transmission. We wound up getting a CX-5 Mazda carbon edition with turbo and all wheel drive! 225 hp and red leather interior to boot! All for the same price as the Outlander, after the dealer discounted it by 2 grand. Would have definitely been the winner had the Outlander had more power and a better transmission.
The lack of power and CVT are the only thing holding this car back. This car would be great with a real transmission and a turbo.
We own the outlander...it has plenty of speed and it does have an 8 speed transmission...I can pretty much do anything I want on the freeway in a xover
Also the fact that the Outlander is a rebadged Nissan Rogue since nissan merged with Mitsubishi and Renault. The only thing that you get is a third row seats.
@@Jase583 After driving one, I feel it’s enough power and the CVT is nice once you get use to it, very smooth, though I’m not a fan of fake gear shifting…in sport mode it does hold the devs though which is perfect.
Everyone talks about the great warranty. Better than Honda, Toyota. The warranty is only good as the one standing behind it, and the dealership that wants to help. With all the shipping and parts issues good luck if something breaks and needs replaced . Dealer network in our area is way smaller than Honda or Toyota, for Mitsubishi! Sorry my money for longevity is Toyota, then Honda. And resale value as well!
I have an outlander GT. It has 143k miles no issue and it handled a bad accident with no personal injury.
Grateful for this video, I have never owned a Mitsubishi and have not heard very much about them. I have usually owned luxury vehicles and currently own a Maserati, which I do not recommend unless there’s a dealership nearby.
I love the look of the new Mitsubishi and this video was very informative. Thank you!
I have owned two Mitsubishis and happy with them. However Mitsubishi motors falls for the same crap like others car manufacturers to put 4 cylinder engines on their prime model. Just to save some money for themselves.
My Outlander 2018 is 6 cylinder 220 hp. Why Brute why?
The only thing that sucks about the recent Mitsubishies is their exterior design language. Apart from that they have always been very solid cars.
The well-known automotive UA-camr Scotty Kilmer said Mitsubishis are very solid if you buy a new model or find a low mileage well-maintained one and drive it for 100k (obviously needs regular oil changes and wear & tear maintenance).. they start falling apart after 100k.. although, I personally had a 2011 Galant that was running fine with 175k miles.. before it got totaled 😷
I have a 2004 Outlander, diamond white, limo black tint, flow master exhaust, 17 inch bbs knock offs, kybs on 235/55/17 all season tires.Runs awesome, sunroof, heated seats, burns some oil. It has 316K on the clock. I'm ready for another new 2025 Outlander with black leather.
As an owner FYI, , 2018 to 2022 Mitsubishi Outlanders got faulty heater. 2022 Outlanders got faulty hood. And more. Please do your homework before you make a decision. There are so many class action lawsuits against Mitsubishi.
What car manufacturer doesn't have recalls and lawsuits? Toyota just had a large recall and lawsuit just recently.
I bought 1 top trim for my wife about 6 months ago and she loves it.
I've owned a 1999 Galant V6, then traded it in for a 2003 Eclipse GTS. A 2nd 2003 Galant for our oldest daughter for college then finally we bought a 2008 regular Lancer for our youngest daughter for college. Other than the 1999 Galant all of us have kept our Mitsubishis. They're excellent in every way!
i want a new 2023 eclipse and i hope you drive it first but im set on it soon i hope!great review for very underrated cars.i owned 5 and the only issues were in the late 1990 and 1999!

Sleeper SUV!!
We need the L200 Triton sold here in the US. Could use a new Mitsubishi pickup.
Mitsubishi is the best car, I have a 2016 Mitsubishi Outlander SE, the best car I ever owned.
Hi Zane, never heard of you until this vid. You have something up on the "great" Scotty Kilmer. You both talked about the Mitsubishi Outlander. However only you seem to have realized it's a rebadged Nissan Rogue with a third row seat. Scotty seemed to not realize this. Amazing.
I’m getting one after renting a 2022. Feels like a refined expensive vehicle
You should do an updated video, because a lot of cars are showing quality issues, from a shaking hood while driving at speed, door cushion not tight enough to prevent whistling, leather in seat not staying where it is supposed to be, oh and that's not all.
HOOD FLOTTER IN MY 2022 is the only problem
Take it back to the dealer, they have a fix for it now and the flutter goes away. Only affected early Outlanders, current Outlanders don't have this issue anymore.
We had a 2015 outlander, put almost 105k miles on it- not even 1 problem. Ac ice cold, sadly got totaled in a wreck. Still wish I had it
My wife and I both have mitsubishi's and I have a 2022 Outlander and I love it it is an awesome vehicle
Gas pedal, & brake pedal ...feels good to touch ...important stuff
I hope the Nissan CVT in the new Outlander is more reliable than the ones in the Juke and X-Trail have been.
Hope so too, not have an outlander but the lancer 2011 in had was so good never had any problems with it
If owners change the CVT fluid every 30-40K miles, they'll be fine. I've got almost 200K miles on my 2011 cube with its original CVT still running smooth and seamless. My 2011 Juke's CVT was still going strong when I sold it last year. I REALLY miss that li'l bug-eye beast!!!! Maintaining a vehicle according to the manufacturer's recommendations does wonders....Sadly, most owners of CVT-equipped Nissan are unaware of this, as they likely don't service their Nissans at the dealership. Toyota, Honda, Subaru, Dodge, Audi/VW have ALL had CVT failures in their closet. I personally know two Corolla owners who paid out-of-pocket for their CVT replacements. 2014-2015 Honda Accords as well. Most of these acquaintances sold their Corollas/Accords to the next sucker.
2022 Mitsubishi outlander:
An impressive 86% quality and reliability rate by "JD Power"
An outstanding almost 50% resale value after 5 years of ownership
Mitsubishi is among top 6 reliable brand out of all 32 brands of cars by "repairpal"
Nice statistics. Thanks!
JD Power is a joke...
One thing I know it drinks fuel if you are doing lot of mileage and don’t have the time to charge. Other then that it’s a fantastic car. If the battery range was bigger it would be amazing
What battery? This isnt an ev.
It gives you 35-40 miles on EV (this is plug in hybrid) and if you want to use it economically you need to keep charging it otherwise it consumes a lot of fuel
The PHEV is going to rock.
Yes it is sh
It's a beautiful car but but:
1. Not much storage compartments inside, the ones provided are very small, with lots of useable space not used.
2. The lane asist is accessed through a complicated setting menu, not a stearing wheel button like most cars.
3. The bonnet does not slant downwards so it's kinda in your face limiting visibility when trying to park
4. Yes visibility all round is generally poor,
5. True suspension is very firm, not comfy.
6. The dash board volume button does not have backlights so invisible when driving at night
7. The adaptive cruise control is not adaptive. It does not respond to cars in front quickly enough. It will stop if the car in front stops then disengage cruise control and start moving forward - not safe and pathetic - unlike other cars where the car stops and even alerts you when the car in front moves.
8. It jerks on acceleration, not a smooth take off at all.
9. It's got this feature where if the door is not fully closed and you start to drive it stops. But before stopping it goes through a melt down with alarms going off but not showing what the issue is, I thought there was a major problem 😡
10. But it looks cool
Great styling inside and out, reliable as hell. But the lack of power and CVT Totally turned me off. I'm a gear head NO crappy CVT for me.
Buy a Pajero Sport
22 have a had 2 to 3 recalls and the windshield is expensive to fix
As the Nissan Rogue's funky twin sister I think the Mitsubishi is more appealing and the Plug In version is mega appealing at least for me. The only one down side is I am really in the market for a Highlander size offering.
I had a 2009 outlander and it was the best car I ever owed. kept it for 11 years until I had to sell it Cuz I was moving.
I thought the same thing... 8 speed cvt?
I think your premise is false. Most people know that Mistubishi make some great vehicles. Most Outlander owners love them and they have a solid rep all over the world. All your clickbait title and intro does is actually help create a negative view that doesn't really exist.
Been thinking of buying one, until now.... The moment you mentioned Nissan being involved I got a shudder through my spine. Nissan is known for having a crap CVT on its X-trail, even looking at second hand cars to buy. The X-trail is flooding the secondhand SUV market, with low, low kilometers. Proving the customers want to get rid of the asap. So, if this car shares the gearbox of a Nissan, Mitsubishi will soon also flood the second hand market cheap cheap.
imagine this Suv with 250 hp engine and 8 speed At...not cvt garbage
Yeahh...add in 8 speed Montero/Pajero sport ❤️💯
Then I would get one.
Put a v6 under that hood with no turbo and I will take a serious look at it. Unfortunately we don’t have a dealer in the Wausau,Wi area
We had a 2018 outlander and loved it. I bought a 2022 when they came out and I love it!
Made in Japan.
I bought a new 2011 Mitsubishi Outlander GT at the beginning of 2012. No problems except for key fob sensor going out on the passenger side.
I test drove this for 28 days. The most underpowered engine and transmission weight ratio I have ever experienced. No thanks
I have this car and it makes me nervous that it does not come with a spare tire... also the bad design on the hood makes you feel like the hood its gonna fly away! ... so far I've had 3 recalls on this car....
The only disappointing thing here is the AWD, each driving mode doesn't really do anything, and the car can struggle a lot with easy things.
The Mud mode and Auto mode does the stuff that the old one do just keep it in that mode, traction control on and voala you've got the same capable car the only downside is the engine the old one has a more powerful V6 option so that's why it didn't struggle as much
I live in an area that gets bad snow drifts. I stress out and cramp up just being a passenger. Got mine in Sept. First year I didn't stress. First year that I got home in two hours or less each time instead of the three+ normally. I do agree they need better explanation on drive modes to maximize there usages but they do have their usage.
We have a 2022 outlander awc. Put BF Goodrich trail t/a on. 26000 miles. Problems 0. I do all the maintenance. Dealership are scammers. Tried to say needed back rotors and shoes. Daughter knew better. They look new.
Just drove one 16 hr straight very comfortable in all conditions great job Mitsubishi 2024
Just bought my 2nd mitsubishi and my outlander already has a bad sensor after the fact I had a sensor bad on my eclipse cross too 🙄 I'm over these damn sensors. This one is my forward collision mitigation one that's in the windshield. If there's an update they need to do it if not then I'll have to wait 3-6 months for a new windshield. I'm not happy with this issue
Mitsubishi motors also made the airplanes that bombed Pearl Harbor.
Damn. Then they are reliable.
NOPE, had one three months and already electrical issues, dead head unit and so underpowered.Trading out!

AMAZING ENJOYABLE PRESENTATION PROFESIONAL VIDEO, for the amazing 2023 Outlander PHEV.. very good job !!!!
Don't know why most people call SUV's a crossover.
Crossovers, in my understanding, are SUV's built on a sedan's chassis, like the Honda CrossTour.
Look at what else the CMF C/D platform is used on, plenty of cars including Nissan Sentra. Generally these days, SUV is a term used for full framed, truck based vehicles like 4Runner, Suburban etc.
So did you ever drive a previous mode Outlander?
I have a 22 outlander and I have nothing but problems
DO you have a link for this exact Outlander? Thanks
all Japanese cars are superior to the rest when it comes to reliability and longevity ...
Nissan , lmao
