The Outlander’s starting price puts it on the more expensive side of the compact crossover segment. Despite a variety of desirable features, the top SEL trim’s value is questionable because it costs almost as much as a top-of-the-line Mazda CX-5who won Our 10 Best Awards many times. Therefore, we would recommend the mid-level SEL model. It also comes with sleek 20-inch wheels, a 9.0-inch touchscreen with Android Auto and wireless Apple CarPlay, a hands-free power liftgate, wireless charging, and driver assists like adaptive cruise and lane-keeping assist. We would also opt for the Tech package which adds a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster, Bose audio system and a panoramic sunroof.

Engine, Transmission and Performance

The Outlander’s standard engine is a 2.5-liter inline-four-cylinder engine that makes 181 horsepower and 181 pound-feet of torque. It pairs exclusively with a Continuously Variable Automatic Transmission (CVT). Front-wheel drive is the standard configuration, but all-wheel drive is optional. However, the Outlander’s acceleration times are competitive with other compact crossovers (except for the turbocharged CX-5 and Speedsters). kia sportage), it feels less responsive and sluggish at highway speeds, which is exacerbated by its gearless CVT. Otherwise, the Outlander drives with agility and poise. Its steering is well weighted, its body motions are controlled, and its ride is taut. We noted a lack of isolation that allowed road noise to penetrate the cabin on all but the smoothest roads, and the limited sidewall cushioning with our test vehicle’s large 20-inch wheels didn’t help the situation. The Outlander we drove also had a soft-feeling brake pedal, but the stoppers dragged the SUV down a class-competitive 172 feet from 70 mph. The plug-in hybrid model is more powerful and we predict it will offer slightly quicker acceleration. The 2.4-liter four-cylinder is assisted by a pair of electric motors for a combined 248 horsepower and on our first test driveWe noted that the Outlander PHEV feels perkier, especially in urban driving.

towing and payload capacity

Larger SUVs or pickups are better suited for towing, but the Mitsubishi has the ability to tow up to 2000 pounds, should you need it.

Range, Charging and Battery Life

With a 20.0-kWh battery pack onboard, the Outlander PHEV is good for a claimed 38 miles of electric-only driving range per charge. This puts it slightly ahead of other versions of the PHEV Hyundai Tucson And this ford escape, but lags behind the Toyota RAV4 Prime, which slightly beats the Outlander with a 42-mile driving range. Unfortunately, the Outlander PHEV suffers from a fairly slow onboard charging system, meaning it will take around 6.5 hours to charge at home when the battery is completely dead. Fortunately, a DC fast-charging system is optional, but it uses an older CHAdeMO charging port that may not be easy to find at fast charging stations in your area.

Fuel Economy and Real-World MPG

The all-wheel-drive Outlander earns an EPA-rated 24 mpg city and 30 highway. Front-wheel drive Outlanders see a slight improvement of 24 city and 31 MPG on the highway. During our 75-mph highway fuel-efficient route—part of Our Comprehensive Test Rules– The all-wheel-drive Mitsubishi’s real-world result of 26 mpg fell short of its EPA estimate. The Outlander PHEV is rated for 25 mpg city and 27 mpg highway when running on gasoline, but by the government’s norm, it’s good for 64 MPGe when accounting for its electric driving range.

Interior, Comfort & Cargo

The new Outlander has noticeably nicer cabin materials than its predecessor, which was made up for by subpar plastics and chintzy trim pieces. Not only are the interior accents and surfaces of high quality, but the design ultimately qualifies as modern. Likewise, there is an assortment of contemporary content including an available 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster and a head-up display. While passengers in the first two rows enjoy more hip room and legroom than the previous generation Outlander, its third row has very limited legroom for adults. The only other compact crossover with seating for seven people Volkswagen Tiguan, but, unlike the Outlander, its additional set of seats is limited to front-drive models. Cargo space also grows on the new Outlander, with the second and third rows behind adding 1 cubic foot to the total volume.

Infotainment & Connectivity

On the infotainment front, the new Outlander offers either an 8.0- or 9.0-inch touchscreen depending on the trim. Both units have standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, but only the latter allows users to connect their iPhones wirelessly. The system has hard buttons and physical knobs for volume and tuning, with the charging port below the center stack. Additional available infotainment features include a 10-speaker Bose audio system, wireless device charging, and access to the subscription-based Mitsubishi Connect app that provides remote services.
