​
Life changes, and so do your car needs. Mitsubishi gets this, offering a range of vehicles that are ready for you wherever you are in life — whether you're grabbing your first set of keys, hauling the kids to soccer practice, or looking for the car that'll stick around for the long haul. With warranty coverage that's tough to beat and solid reliability, Mitsubishi's 2025 lineup has something for you.
First Car: Ideal Mitsubishi Car Models for New Drivers
In 2025, things have changed when it comes to first cars. Just last year, Mitsubishi axed the budget-friendly Mirage, although you can still pick up the 2024 hatchback model from $16,695 and the 2024 Mirage G4 sedan from $17,795. Sales actually jumped hugely in the first three quarters of 2024, so you certainly won't be alone. Despite the Mirage's popularity, there's no replacement coming, but if you're looking for an affordable pick, the 2025 Outlander Sport starts at $24,445, with decent gas mileage at 23 mpg in the city and 29 mpg on the highway.
The Outlander Sport delivers solid value for new drivers. You get a 148-horsepower 2.0-liter engine, continuously variable transmission, and standard all-wheel drive to keep you on the road in every kind of weather Northeast Ohio has to offer. Safety's covered, too, with forward collision mitigation with pedestrian detection, lane departure warning, active stability control, and seven airbags. There's even a rear seat alert, so you won't leave anything behind. Competitors such as the Kia Soul ($20,490), Chevrolet Trax ($20,500), and Nissan Kicks ($21,830) might cost less upfront, but the Outlander Sport's slightly higher price gets you that standard all-wheel drive.
What really sets Mitsubishi apart, though, is its reliability, backed up by a warranty package that matches the best in the business. We're talking about a:
- 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain coverage
- Five-year/60,000-mile new vehicle warranty
- Two-year/30,000-mile maintenance program
Plus, you get five years of roadside assistance with no mileage limits, accessible through your phone, complete with concierge help if you're stuck somewhere during a warranty issue. If you're new to driving the streets of Boardman and worried about repair costs, this coverage means real peace of mind during those first few years.
Family Car: Mitsubishi Models Built for Comfort and Safety
The 2025 Outlander makes a strong case for itself as your family hauler. Starting at $29,995, it delivers 24 mpg in the city and 31 mpg on the highway and can tow up to 2,000 pounds. This three-row SUV seats seven people and offers flexible cargo space that's ready to adapt to whatever your family needs. Behind the third row, you've got 10.9 cubic feet. Fold that third row down, and you're looking at 30.6 cubic feet. Drop all the rear seats, and you've got 64.3 cubic feet of space.
Entertainment
To keep everyone comfortable and occupied, there's a 12.3-inch infotainment touch screen, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, dual-zone or tri-zone climate control, and available heated and ventilated seats.
Safety
The Outlander's safety credentials are impressive. Every Outlander from 2014 to 2024 earned an Insurance Institute for Highway Safety Top Safety Pick or Top Safety Pick+ award, with top crashworthiness ratings. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration gave it four stars for 2024, plus five stars in side crash testing. Active safety tech includes blind-spot warning, active blind-spot assist, rear automatic emergency braking, forward collision mitigation with pedestrian detection, and a multiview camera system. That's a lot of protection for your most precious cargo.
Price
Compare the Outlander to the competition, and the value becomes clear. The Honda Pilot starts at $40,200 with a 285-horsepower V-6, 18.6 cubic feet of space behind row three, and 87 cubic feet of cargo space in total. The Toyota Highlander begins at $39,820 with a 265-horsepower turbo-four, 16 cubic feet behind the third row, and 84.3 cubic feet maximum. While both of those have more power and slightly more space, the Outlander costs nearly $10,000 less while still giving you three-row capability and that same industry-leading warranty. That's money that could make all the difference to your family budget.
Forever Car: Long-Lasting Mitsubishi Vehicles for Lifelong Reliability
If you want a car that'll be your partner for years, the 2025 Outlander Plug-In Hybrid deserves serious consideration. The base ES model starts at $40,445, pairing a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine with two electric motors for 248 combined horsepower. The plug-in hybrid setup includes a 20 kWh battery pack that gives you about 38 miles of electric-only range. EPA ratings hit 26 mpg or 64 MPGe combined. There aren't many plug-in hybrid SUVs in this size range, which makes the Outlander Plug-In Hybrid well worth a look.
Mitsubishi's reliability reputation means you could really be choosing a car for life. Annual repair costs come in well under the industry average, and many Mitsubishi models hit 200,000+ miles with proper care. According to Kelley Blue Book, the 2019 and 2020 Outlander models posted the lowest five-year ownership costs in their class, with the 2020 Outlander coming in at $40,995. Add in that five-year/60,000-mile basic coverage and 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty, and you've got ownership designed for the long game.
Choosing a plug-in hybrid brings environmental and financial benefits beyond daily driving. Federal tax credits max out at $7,500 for qualifying plug-in hybrids, though there are income limits ($300,000 household adjusted gross income) and vehicle price caps ($80,000 for SUVs). As well as lowering emissions, the flexibility of a plug-in hybrid beats that of traditional hybrids, letting you use electric power for the daily commute or errands in Youngstown while keeping gas available for road trips. That's sustainable ownership that won't limit your freedom.
