Is the 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander Special Edition the BEST new SUV to BUY?

[@Daniel.gomezz]

I bought a 22 outlander pearl white last month love it I'm 5"8 and I fit in the back row comfortably 🤔

[@ihop4no14]

Good video. After doing some research on my own, I discovered the following; 1. The SEL "Special" edition does NOT have the sun/moon roof. These were manufactured during 2021 & 2022 during the pandemic and certain features were left off to increase production. 2. None of the Mitsubishi's have the Homelink system on the rear view mirror or back of the sun visor. That had me scratching my head. However, there's an app call MyQ that works from your phone & I believe with integration, can be downloaded and used from the vehicle's infotainment system. 3. While this vehicle does feature Wireless Apple Car Play, it still requires a WIRED connection for Android Auto. This too, had me scratching my head.

[@BGNADS]

You’re going to have to review the 2023 outlander PHEV that’s supposed to launch soon! That’s the real outlander, a lot less Nissan going on with that version. With Mitsubishis electric PHEV engine technology, and an actual Mitsubishi drive train, the Super-All Wheel Control originally developed specifically for the Evolution X. It’ll have more horsepower than this version as well. Hope you get to see one early! Wife and I are looking forward to that SUV. It’ll look good next to my evo lol great video as always

[@DSPNWtoCali]

So you can start placing a deposit for those PHEV now at the Mitsubishi dealership. I got an email yesterday but decided no knowing the full MSRP I may skip it and grab our self the 2022 since they knock the price down so much for all 2022 trim in stock. Tempting. Then again the PHEV Outlander sound nice as well.

[@Boris_Chang]

Why does it still use CHAdeMO in the US market?????

[@mc996cars1]

Joe, great video again! You needed to drive the regular SEL with the Touring package. It has the full Panoramic roof and full digital dashboard. I love mine but a tad slow. Nissan is adding a Turbo to that engine next year, Hopefully Mitsubishi will get it the following year.

So far so good, Joe! I love the looks of this Outlander.

[@GothRocker7]

Joe, nice review of the Mitsubishi Outlander, these are a neat size in my opinion, just the right size. Just A couple key things that makes the Mitsubishi Outlander different from it's cousin the Nissan Rogue, The Mitsubishi is made in Japan, The Nissan is made in Tennessee. The Mitsubishi has a different suspension set up and it's own unique Super All Wheel Control all wheel drive system. Personally I think the Mitsubishi looks better and when I test drove them both the Mitsubishi seemed more refined, less noise. One big thing Mitsubishi has an amazing warranty. I might be buying one of these as my new all weather vehicle. Joe, I also agree the wheel arches would look better painted, instead of that flat black and a little more power would be nice. They do offer a huge Panorama sunroof as an option and higher trims do have a heads up display. As always great job Joe.

[@itzreece6347]

That Big Mac joke lmao! Man I love your reviews even if I don't like the vehicle that much. Your reviews are Gr8!

[@nysavvy9241]

The interior is beautiful. Love the Dasboard and all the quilting on the seats and door panels. Is it a Jatco cvt transmission? Third row probably overkill.

[@kennedy9072]

You might not know this but Mitsubishi was actually using JATCO CVT's since the 90's, all of their cars in their lineup with CVT transmissions are all sourced from JATCO, even the old Outlander, Outlander Sport, Lancer, Lancer Sportback, Mirage, Mirage G4, and they don't have issues like Nissan, even Suzuki was using JATCO CVT's and again they don't have issues.

[@kennedy9072]

@@oi32df Yes, maybe, I'm not sure, but Mitsubishi doesn't have problems with their JATCO CVT's, look at the Outlander Sport, Mirage and Mirage G4, they've been on sale for almost 10 years now, and they don't have CVT issues same with the Lancer and the Lancer Sportback also CVT programming plays a big role.

[@jeffmorse645]

Had a 2010 Lancer GTS and it was the same thing. Never needed to use that long warranty once. Nothing went wrong with it. My nephew owns it now and its still going strong with nothing but regular maintenance. I've owned Toyota, Mazda and Subaru and none of them were as reliable as that Mitsu.

Mitsubishi is a really good vehicle. I had a sport and only traded it in for a bit bigger vehicle and more tech than my car had. The third row would be great for dogs so you have a bit of room for that quick shopping trip as well.

[@sharonsmith514]

Bought mine back in Dec of 2021. Loved it and still do. The radiator needed replacing back in Nov and now as of this week my suspension needs replacing. I guess I just got a lemon. Great car other wise but not going to keep it with the risk of other parts failing will trade her in😢

If you're an overly fertile family on a budget, the Outlander is the cheapest deal on ANY 7-seater. When you look at 3rd row options in this segment, it's this or the Tiguan with paying extra for the 3rd row. That chrome on the front and side does need to go however. Nothing some vinyl can't fix.

[@jonthedude5957]

Nice Mitsubishi Outlander I think the red is a very very nice SUV. I think the 20 inch wheels are a nice nice addition to the SUV. Compared to the Apostles to the SUV's duch as Nissan and Mazda the OutLander looked good but the CVT should be replaced for a 10 Speed automatic Transmission.

@@rapide12345 not a hater. Use to own two mitsushitties. A 2009 galant ralliart that rusted out a year after I bought it new. Mitsushitty Canadas way of fixing it was to have their service manager use a paint pen and cover the rust. The passenger door rusted out from the inside out. The second one was a 2013 Cancer GT AWC that had a defective suspension. The backend sank down over the wheels. I couldn’t even have people in the car with me, and when driving, the car would bottom out. Mitsushitty Canada would not authorize any repairs even when their service department knew there was something wrong with the car. The paint was just as bad. I scratched through the paint all the way to the metal with a snow brush. Multiple times dust scratched the paint during a simple wind storm! Never once did they acknowledge there was any issues. My mother had it worse with her 2013 mitsushitty RVR/Outlander Sport. A year after she bought it the roof paint started to bubble and separate. Mitsushitty called it normal wear and tear so she had to pay out of pocket. Six months later the hood did the same thing. Mitsushitty again called it normal wear and tear. The tailgate was the same thing. The clutch was also a problem. Mitsushitty never did a damn thing to help. Never again will I lower my standards to buy a car from them. I look forward to when they fail and leave North America. If I want bad service horrible manufacturer interaction, I will get a dodge.

Funny that they call it a "special" edition when the reality is that they are having supply chain issues with the parts for the SEL Touring so they basically had to throw together what they had and call it "special". The SEL Touring (which Joe reviewed last year) is a better buy if you can find it. Includes the sunroof, full digital dash, and HUD display.
