Overview
With a footprint nearly identical to the most popular and class-leading two-row SUVs, the Outlander adds a third row, making it one of the smallest SUVs to offer room for seven. Indeed, Toyota's RAV4, Honda's CR-V and Mazda's CX-5 all share the Outlander's 106-inch wheelbase, but none offer the utility of a wayback seat. Sure, you're not going to get full-size adults back there for any trip longer than around the block, but for bigger families with smaller kids, the Outlander might be the answer. It also comes with a 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty, adding to its value.

Edmunds spotlight: Seating for seven and a solid warranty
The Outlander isn't for everyone, but it may be perfectly suited for you. If you're looking for room for seven passengers (two must be child-sized) and the peace of mind that comes with a long warranty, there aren't many other choices in this price range. In its upper trims the Outlander also offers a reasonably upscale interior with quilted leather seats and a usefully large (9-inch) touchscreen infotainment interface. From behind the wheel, the Outlander doesn't really impress but it's also not embarrassing when the going gets twisty. It doesn't change much for 2024, but it streamlines the trim lineup and adds a new flagship Platinum Edition. Read our Expert Rating for all the details.
Competitors to consider
If you're in need of three rows in your small SUV, there are only a few choices — the Outlander, Volkswagen Tiguan and Kia Sorento. But if you can get away with five seats, the options are wide open in this segment. Some of our favorites include the Mazda CX-5, Mazda CX-50 and Honda CR-V.
Edmunds Expert Rating
Performance
Otherwise, the Outlander is mild-mannered. The steering wheel has a decent amount of heft to it, and the body stays fairly composed when taking mountain curves at speed. It's not a sporty choice like the Mazda CX-5, but the Outlander will go around a corner without making your passengers queasy.
Comfort
Interior

Getting in and out of the front seat is a cinch, but adults might have trouble entering the rear. The bench seat is mounted somewhat high, so you'll probably have to scrunch to avoid hitting your head on the way in. While the front and second rows are fairly spacious, the third row has only a minimal amount of legroom. It's effectively useless for anyone taller than a child.

Buying Tips for the 2024 Mitsubishi Outlander for February
Looking to purchase a 2024 Mitsubishi Outlander? Here are some savvy car-buying tips to help you get the best deal possible:
- Buyers are paying about 14% less than the sticker price for a new 2024 Outlander, translating to savings between approximately $3,392 and $5,738, depending on the trim.
- There are no customer cash rebates or special APR offers available for the 2024 Mitsubishi Outlander at this time.
- For new buyers, there is limited inventory available for some trims. Notably, the "SE" trim has the most new inventory available, with 21 vehicles nationwide. If you're eager for a specific trim, especially those with low inventory, consider reserving one through a local dealer.
- The 2024 Outlander tends to stay on the lot for more than 60 days, suggesting a slower turnover and potentially more wiggle room for negotiation.
- For used buyers, the lowest dealer display price starts around $20,486. The "SE" trim has the most extensive used inventory, with over 1,300 available, providing ample opportunity to find a well-priced option.
- Used Outlanders spend about 43 to 64 days on the lot, slightly longer than the average used vehicle, which may provide some leverage in price negotiations.
Technology
Most Outlander trims come with wireless connectivity for Apple CarPlay. That's great from a value perspective, but we'll note we had frequent glitches when trying to connect an iPhone during our testing. We're also not enamored with the infotainment system voice controls. They require following a rigid command structure and, in our testing, often failed to understand our commands.
The Outlander comes with a comprehensive suite of advanced driving aids. However, we found the operation of the traffic-adaptive cruise control and lane centering features to be poor. For example, the cruise control seemed very slow to slow the Outlander down on the highway, and our drivers worried that it might not work quick enough to avoid a collision with the vehicle ahead.
Storage
The Outlander also has plenty of spots to stash your gear. You can use the small tray under the center stack if you aren't charging your phone, and the underarm bin is nicely sized. The rear door pockets are rather small and so are the cupholders. Accessing the rear cupholders requires folding down the entire middle seat, so hopefully your cargo is totally secured.
If you need to fit child seats, watch your fingers while attaching the tethers. They are hidden behind narrow slits behind the seat and are surrounded by sharpish plastic.
Fuel Economy
Value
If you do need the third row, the Mitsubishi Outlander costs roughly the same as the Volkswagen Tiguan. The Outlander is less expensive than the Kia Sorento, but the Sorento is preferable for several reasons, including a roomier third row. If you just want a decent car with great features at an affordable price, the Outlander will meet your expectations. Also noteworthy are the Outlander's upscale interior materials.
Mitsubishi's warranty plan is quite generous. Every Outlander comes with a five-year/60,000-mile basic warranty, 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty and five years/unlimited miles of roadside assistance.
Wildcard
The Outlander benefits greatly from its Nissan Rogue-derived underpinnings. With a tidy interior, buttoned-down ride and impressive materials in its range-topping form, the Outlander no longer feels like an afterthought from Mitsubishi or an also-ran in the class.
2024 Mitsubishi Outlander trim level differences
The 2024 Mitsubishi Outlander comes standard with seating for seven thanks to a small third-row seat. There are five trim levels:ES,SE,SE Black Edition, SEL andSEL Platinum Edition. All Outlanders use a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 181 horsepower and 181 lb-ft of torque. Front-wheel drive is standard, paired with a continuously variable transmission (CVT). All Outlander trims offer Mitsubishi's Super-All Wheel Control (S-AWC) as the optional all-wheel-drive system except the SEL Platinum, where it's standard.Compare the 2024 Mitsubishi Outlander trim levels in-depth.
Which Outlander trim does Edmunds recommend?
We think theSE trim Outlander hits the sweet spot in terms of cost and features. It gets a bigger infotainment screen than the ES trim and comes with heated front seats and a power-operated tailgate. It also adds front parking sensors and a surround-view camera, which isn't common in this segment.

- 198940
- Defect Description:
- Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc. (Mitsubishi) is recalling certain 2022-2024 Outlander and 2023-2025 Outlander PHEV vehicles. Due to a software error in the in-vehicle infotainment system (A-IVI), the rearview camera image may freeze, or not appear on the display. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 111, "Rear Visibility."

Mitsubishi Outlander vs. Kia Sorento
Like the Outlander, the Kia Sorento offers three rows of seating in a relatively compact SUV package. The Sorento's third row is bigger and more comfortable than the Outlander's, probably thanks to the additional 4 inches between its wheel centers. And the Kia is available with all-wheel drive and a warranty that matches the Outlander's, all for a starting price that's a few grand below the Mitsubishi. This is a good place to start shopping if you're in need of a smallish three-row SUV.
Mitsubishi Outlander vs. Honda CR-V
Honda has an incredible knack for creating a sense of space in its vehicles that exceeds their size category. Pushed-back pillars, large windows, and a low shoulder line all add to the CR-V's roominess inside. Beyond that, it's simply an excellent compact SUV offering acceleration and fuel economy that beat the Outlander's. Honda's pretty proud of all that goodness, though, so you'll pay more for a CR-V than you will for an Outlander when they're similarly equipped.
Mitsubishi Outlander vs. Mazda CX-50
Though it does have mild off-road intentions, Mazda's CX-50 manages to feel like a sports car compared to most compact SUVs, including the Outlander. This newest Mazda is bigger inside and out than the Outlander and offers an interior that — we'll just say it — exceeds some luxury vehicles in finish and design and puts the Mitsubishi's to shame. It's among our favorite compact SUVs because it offers a driving experience that's worth what you pay.
