If you're looking for a compact SUV that punches above its weight when it comes to comfort and capability, the 2024 Mitsubishi Outlander is sure to impress. Starting at $28,395, this versatile three-row SUV offers exceptional value, starting with its efficient 2.5L engine and plenty of space for your family, friends, and gear. What's more, the available Super All-Wheel Control (S-AWC) system means you'll be able to drive with confidence in whatever conditions the Ohio seasons have in store.
Key Features That Make the Outlander Stand Out
The Outlander's seven-passenger seating capacity sets it apart in the compact SUV segment, making it ideal for getting your family around town or heading out on road trips. It's built to perform in all conditions, too, so from the school run to a day of light off-roading, you'll be all set.
Seating and Space
The Mitsubishi Outlander's seating arrangement offers great flexibility for families and adventure enthusiasts alike. Its three-row configuration is uncommon in the compact SUV segment, so if you sometimes need that extra seating, it's a perfect choice. The first and second rows will keep adult passengers comfortable, while the third row works well for children or short trips.
The 40/20/40-split second-row seat with a folding function allows multiple cargo and passenger configurations. This adaptability, combined with the total passenger volume of 125.5 cubic feet, makes it easy to switch between carrying passengers and cargo. Whether it's a family road trip or a weekend adventure with friends, the Outlander's seating setup adapts to your needs.
Road Capability and Terrain Handling
Mitsubishi's S-AWC system gives the Outlander impressive capabilities across a range of scenarios. With multiple drive modes including Tarmac, Gravel, Snow, Mud, and Eco, you can optimize vehicle performance for specific road conditions just by turning a dial. If you've got rough terrain in your sights, the Outlander's 8.3-inch ground clearance allows for light off-road adventures, while the 18.3-degree approach angle and 22.2-degree departure angle help you navigate uneven ground.
The suspension system supports the Outlander's versatility by balancing comfort and handling, giving you a stable drive during daily commutes and weekend excursions. These features work together to create a vehicle that handles confidently in various weather conditions and on all sorts of road surfaces.
Fuel Efficiency and Cost Considerations
The Outlander features a standard 2.5L dual overhead camshaft four-cylinder direct-injection engine paired with an eight-speed continuously variable transmission. This powerplant delivers impressive efficiency, with EPA estimates for front-wheel-drive models reaching 24 mpg in the city, 31 mpg on the highway, and 27 mpg combined. If you choose a model equipped with S-AWC, you'll lose only a fraction of that efficiency at 24 mpg city and 30 mpg highway. This strong fuel economy means your operating costs will stay reasonable, whether you're commuting in Boardman or hitting the road on the weekend.
For a little extra help, the S-AWC's eco-friendly driving mode lets you maximize fuel efficiency when you want while still having access to the more performance-oriented settings. This balance of efficiency and capability makes the Outlander a practical choice for everyday driving and adventure. Over five years, fuel costs typically range from $8,750 to $9,500, while insurance costs generally range from $3,600 to $3,700.
Long-Term Savings
The Outlander's value proposition extends beyond its purchase price. Mitsubishi's comprehensive five-year/60,000-mile new vehicle limited warranty and complimentary three-service maintenance program reduce early ownership costs significantly, and its 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty provides additional coverage that exceeds that of many competitors.
Over five years, the total cost of ownership of the Outlander ranges from $42,700 to $48,300, including factors such as depreciation, fuel costs, insurance, and maintenance. Maintenance and repairs average between $6,600 and $6,700 over that period. The depreciation estimate of $16,200 to $19,000 over five years positions the Outlander as a smart financial choice in the compact SUV segment.
Trim Levels and Customization
The 2024 Mitsubishi Outlander has nine distinct trim levels: ES, SE, SE Tech, SEL, SEL Touring, SEL Premium, Platinum Edition, SEL Black Edition, and RALLIART. The base ES trim includes practical features such as 18-inch alloy wheels, an 8.0-inch smartphone-link display audio system, basic safety features, and dual-zone automatic climate control.
Each trim level above the ES adds features and technologies to appeal to different drivers. The SEL and higher trims include premium features such as a 12.3-inch fully digital driver display, three-zone automatic climate control, leather-appointed seating, heated front and rear seats, a power liftgate, and a navigation system. The higher trims also incorporate premium materials, advanced safety features, and additional comfort amenities, allowing you to select the perfect combination for your needs and budget.
Planning Your Adventures with the Mitsubishi Outlander
The Mitsubishi Outlander proves capable across various driving scenarios, from urban environments to light off-road trails. With a 2,000-pound towing capacity when properly equipped and up to 64.3 cubic feet of cargo space with the seats folded, it handles both everyday tasks and special adventures with ease.
With the Outlander's combination of comfort and capability, you won't be short of exciting destinations. From the trails and parks of eastern Ohio to exploring further afield, the greatest challenge is knowing where to start.
