10 Things You Need To Know Before Buying The 2024 Mitsubishi Outlander

Thanks to its platform sharing with the Nissan Rogue, the Outlander provides a modern SUV experience. Its exterior design is more playful than the Nissan's, with sharper edges and unique lighting elements. Inside, the Outlander has seating for seven and a decent list of available luxury features.
So let's look at 10 Things You Need To Know Before Buying The 2024 Mitsubishi Outlander.

[@gregswank547]

I have a 2017 Outlander ES AWC. It has 117,000 miles on it and I have had ZERO problems with it. Well, the lamp in the passenger side map light burned out and had to be replaced, but other than that, nothing. The engine takes a while to break-in and picks up a little more spunk around 20,000 miles. Passing at rural highway speeds is not a problem if you put the gear selector in "sport" before you jump on the gas pedal. If the shifter is left in normal, the insane CTV may upshift while the gas pedal is on the floor and kill acceleration while passing, which is a big negative. If you leave it is sport it will not upshift until a little after redline and you will be doing 85 to 90 mph at that point. AWC is awesome, from keeping the car rolling offroad to making those little adjustment needed to keep it on the icy roads of winter. I have put the transfer case in 4-L one time and that was on an icy two-track that went up a hill. That is the only terrain that the Mitsubishi couldn't conquer. As long as the driver doesn't do anything really stupid the AWC will likely save you from mistakes or unexpected changes in road conditions. If the new Outlander (Nissan chassis and engine) is as reliable and good as my 2017, and has the same AWC, I wouldn't worry too much about what these testers say -- take it with a grain of salt. The old model was good and I expect the new one is better.

Greetings from southern Ontario Canada I am enjoying my mitsubishi outlander phev

[@mjbayer1838]

I have had a Mitsubishi Outlander Plug In Hybrid Electric Vehicle for 2 months. I love it. The EV really goes! I get 3.3 L / 100 k consistently. 82 US MPG. What are you talking about ride quality?

[@ofcbob6391]

Anyone know if the standard 2.5L normally aspirated engine is port injected? I heard one reviewer say it is NOT direct injection.

[@bryanlecuyer5685]

I was told its GDI not port

[@victors.6439]

the 2.5L PD25 engine seems to be GDI, while the PHEV 2.4L engine is port injected i believe

[@AmricanEagl]

How reliable is that CVT? Probably not reliable at all!

[@robobee1707]

I believe the Nissan has a three cylinder turbo, and the Outlander has a four cylinder NAE. The Outlander is also built in Japan, and the CVT is built to different and higher specs than the Nissan Rouge. The Outlander is on the top of my new vehicle list because I don't desire a turbo.

[@idigbebop]

It really needs a turbo. It’s a dog. Add some weight and it’s really bad.

[@kingsleyadusei7606]

I still don't know why my 2023 outlander sel doesn't have this turning signal like this..😢

[@dmitry93-year-old49]

Pretty sure it's packages.. Has to be pre ordered

[@mikeyO143]

This is an ad for Mazda CX5. Lol

[@stevensevek6151]

Is this available with a manual transmission?

[@yoboijd4175]

I think I have finally found the stupidest question

[@peteheatherwick9205]

It is one gear~! ? Variable no change required

[@etothej]

Yup. Three on the tree.

[@LTLT900]

Everything should be available in manual.

[@psychiatry-is-eugenics]

0:47 eight speed cvt ? Kinda defeats the purpose

[@rapide12345]

Simulated gear shifts.

[@rome-ingholiday]

The truth - there is a major issue with their infotainment center where it defualts to "navigation" volume whehter you are using it or not and prevents you from being able to adjust the volume on your music until you pull over, turn the car off and then back on. Mitsubishi claims this is by design. Have fun with that "neat" feature. (I bought a 2023 Outlander in May 2023 and have regretted every moment). Don't believe me? There are other KZbin videos showing the issue. The 2022 they loanded me had a hood flutter at highspeeds. Avoid these cars,

[@dorado0359]

No issue with my infotainment system...works perfectly.

[@alchemyandcraftarts]

@@dorado0359 must be nice

[@rome-ingholiday]

@@dorado0359 awesome then maybe reach out to Mitsubishi and let them know what I am experiencing above is NOT normal, because they are thing to tell me it is and refusing to fix it. It’s great that you’re not having the issue but it doesn’t in any way reduce what a nightmare Mitsubishi has been for me.

[@user-je7ih1wo9c]

You don't know what your talking about.

[@rome-ingholiday]

@@user-je7ih1wo9c lol, ok then explain it to me, troll. Please make sure to use spell check when you do, though. Mitsubishi has had the car for 40+ days because of the issue.

[@rodneyhirsch2340]

We have 2022 awc. Problems. 0 25000 miles. Gas mileage. Higher than rated. Change the cvt fluid every 30000 to 40000. No problem with that either

[@nikolayrayanov2895]

The PHEV is the much better choice than the Petrol one.

[@bryanlecuyer5685]

Not when you have to replace the batteries in 5 years. $$$

[@PB-tc6hw]

Not a problem. Batteries have a 10 years warranty (along with the drivetrain)…

[@madness8556]

The PHEV is a much better place if you've got money to burn! In Australia, the base model ES PHEV costs over AUD$ 60000.

[@PB-tc6hw]

@@madness8556 I understand your comment. I’m no electric or hybrid fanboy when it comes to the insane price of those vehicles while I understand that it is a “newer” technology that is costly for automakers to develop with the pressure of Governments to do so. They up charge us for theirs R&D and when in a few years they will master the process, they’re going to make a lots of money without returning any money to us from the actual up charge they impose on us 😏. That said, in Canada, the price of the PHEV is $14 000 more than the petrol one. BUT… with the $10 000 incentive received from our two levels of governments the difference shrunk to $4 000. In my case, doing 80% of my commutes in under 50 km, I will save $2 200 per years (price of gaz vs electricity). I should then recoup my money in less than 2 years for a vehicle that I will keep for at least 10 years. Without this incentive, it will have took around 7 years (close to 9 with inflation) to regain this $14 000 price difference and I will have looked elsewhere for a new car. So I’m with you on this, bottom line, that is our hard earned money talking…

Not enough horsepower for this vehicle, needs turbocharger,nice looking suv

[@user-zh2dc9oy8z]

horsesh1t. Blindspot warning is standard at lowest ES level.

[@alfredomedina5835]

I do not believe reviews like this one anymore. Sounds like it was paid by the competitors, or by someone from Consumer Reports who only like BMW or similar luxury cars. I believe more what the actual owners say, and they do like this car very much.

[@mjbayer1838]

I am 6' 7" tall, what in the he double hockey sticks are you talking about room? I could not fit into a PHEV rav4, Mazada CX70, CX90, Hyundai, and KIA products? This guy narrating this is a pant load lies. Are you working or a competitor? The only other vehicles I could fit in were the Ford Escape and Jeep PHEVs.

[@user-ui8or8cq7l]

Nissan is junk

[@marceloribas4616]

Sharing anything with a super low quality such as Nissan is a really bad thing.

[@cassandragalon1095]

It’s only cause Mitsubishi, Nissan and one other company share the base manufacturer. They share the same base then each company gets to add their spice to it.

[@dmitry93-year-old49]

Yeah, nissan scares me

[@youtubeuser5005]

I think Nissan has a better reputation than Mitsubishi 🤷‍♂️

[@carlbrenda6518]

😂😂😂😂. Nissan has a better track record than most if not all US manufacturers.

[@josh3221ify]

My "low quality" Nissan is 13 years old now and still drives like new. The most reliable car I have ever owned. It has outlived a Corolla in my family. It seems it's fashionable to bash Nissan online. Maybe it makes people look cool, who knows? I wouldn't hesitate to buy this Mitsubishi if it shares a platform with Nissan. Japanese are known to make quality stuff.
