MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER 4X4 REVIEW

For The Outlander looks the part. There’s decent space inside and some models have seven seats. The handling is sharp for a 4x4.

Against Prices for models with decent kit are too high. The Outlander falls short of the best for refinement and quality, and the fold-out rear bench is uncomfortable.

What Car? says

2 out of 5 stars

An attractive and practical 4x4, but it trails the class best for refinement and value for money. The third row of seats, which is one of its key selling point, is of limited use.

Mitsubishi Outlander 4x4 2.2 DI-D GX2 4WD 5dr

Being the cheapest model in the range makes this model the most attractive to us, but some may think it's worth finding the extra for one of the better-equipped models.

Buyer's notes

Target Price team says:

The Outlander has much in common with the Citroen C-Crosser and Peugeot 4007, but where it differs is in offering a two-wheel drive version that has better average economy and lower emissions than the other models.

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.
