For If you want an automatic Outlander – or a petrol model, for that matter – this is your only choice. The 2.4 is also the most powerful engine in the Outlander.
Against The 2.4's lack of pull makes it less relaxing than the diesels. Also, Elegance models are pricey, and this 2.4-litre version has the worst residuals in the range.
Unless you must have a petrol car - or an automatic - steer clear of this version. If the price doesn't put you off, then the running costs certainly should.
The Outlander has much in common with the Citroen C-Crosser and Peugeot 4007, but one crucial difference is that it offers a 2.0-litre diesel engine (the French pair only have a dearer 2.2), and that powers our favourite Outlander.
While we're on the subject of saving money, look at Mitsubishi’s Service Plan that will cover all the scheduled services throughout the first three years of the car's life, ensuring that they are performed by Mitsubishi-trained technicians, using genuine Mitsubishi parts.
You can also include the cost of the Service Plan in your finance, and the plan can be transferred to a new owner if you sell your vehicle. Scheduled Services only include parts defined by the manufacturer such as filters, oil, consumables and labour. The Service Schedule does not include wear and tear items such as brake pads and discs, clutches, tyres etc. For full details, contact your local Mitsubishi Dealer.
