Got delivered March and took a drive to Melbourne. Excellent ride and comfortable/spacious cabin. Mitsubishi definitely improved on their standard/quality. Love the tech but faulty head unit after 1 month of purchase. Been waiting for replacement over 1 month. Very quiet without any music during an 8 hours drive. I still believe it's the best valued SUV.

I use it 50% Uber and 50% family. School runs, interstate drives, except towing. I replaced the 18 inch wheels with 20s. And the ride is tolerable at times until i runover pot holes. I havent had any issues. Bought the car as an ex rental.
Purchased in for $18,990.

After many months of arguing with MMAL head office they took our vehicle and tested it for the defect of shuddering badly when cold. It happens only when the vehicle is cold and when you take your foot off the accelerator when slowing down. They took the vehicle for two months and ran up roughly 1000 klm and could not fault the vehicle. They were asked to drive it when cold and if the shudder did not happen within the first 10 minutes then they were wasting their time continuing. We also asked for a spreadsheet showing how, when and under what ...
Read moreconditions their drive program was performed. We have had no such document supplied. They have returned the vehicle and have said they have found nothing wrong with the vehicle however they have changed the gearbox for a new one. It has been done under goodwill not warranty. Not sure why you would go to that expense considering their past rejection of our claim and them finding nothing wrong. My daughter has received the vehicle back and within the first 100klm it has shuddered well beyond normal three times with an independent witness who was in the passenger seat asking my daughter why she was driving the vehicle to make this happen??? She had just driven from an exercise class and taken her foot off the accelerator that's all?? So their waste of time in driving the vehicle and waste of money in replacing the gearbox is alarming to say the least. Again be wary of these vehicles as I believe there are many more of this model out there doing the same thing and you wont get the Dealer or MMAL to do anything to solve this issue as they have no idea why its performing in this way???Purchased in .

After having bought brand new a 2019 Outlander that has a shudder/vibration intermittently that is in my opinion dangerous we have had NO positive help from MMAL and have had to argue for some six months with Head Office now to get any type of understanding of the vehicle problem. After writing three letters/emails to the CEO of MMAL head office [Name Removed] he has not had the common decency to even answer one of those contacts. He just sends me back to the Customer Relations Department that have put up brick wall after brick wall hoping we w...
Read moreill go away. In one of these letters I have even said that the vehicle was so dangerous it was risking my children and grandchildren with an accident and then causing them harm yet he still did not even bother to answer which says to me quite clearly he does not care. Don't buy the new outlander until you get an assurance from the dealership that the known problem of surge/vibration has been eliminated otherwise you will end up the same as us only listening to "crickets"- Build Quality

Not the best looking rear end, but baby got back! Camping gear, bikes, Bunnings and Amart collections, tip runs, this all rounder does it all. Mine is a manual stick which handles smoothly, not gusty but able to pass in the right lane when needing to. Plenty of room for kids and dog. Great visuals out every side. Well worth the price I paid.

Bought car Dec 2018 MY19 as liked the look and wanted an upgrade, had previously a 2014 ES AWD.
The interior in leather makes the car look nice, the safety features are in line with the current market trend except that does not have the auto start stop.
Car is nothing fun to drive, feels lazy and even having a good 124kw it makes it feel way underpowered due to the cvt. So if you are very light on the foot and dont mind waiting for car to pick up speed car will be ok to run the kids around as have 7 seats.
Paint quality is on the low end, ...
Read moregot a chip were you could see the metal had no primer so paint will flake. Sold car in Jan 2021 with 4000kms not being used as completely lost the wow factor. If mitsubishi would do a turbo engine that makes more power or make without cvt I would give it a try.Purchased in .

2019 car for my daily drive. It has good pick up & Good fuel economy - has Eco drive to use less petrol in city traffic. Back seats fold down for good space BUT it takes lots of fiddling & removing seat cushions to do this. Storage space for the driver is poor - space for drink bottles but not mobile phone. LOVE the heated leather seats, hands-free calling is good with good sound quality BUT voice-activated calling is very poor.
Very comfortable drive, DAB or USB for own music. It is longer than previous Outlanders so the reversing camera is h...

Excellent value car, loads of space and economical
Used for both city and highway, it is comfortable, quiet and economical over 30k so far. Very good value car to buy, run and maintain. Basic model, but has good features and loads of usable space. Bought this style because this seating is just the right height, everyone comments on how easy it is to get into and out off. Auto cruize control is brilliant, but lane departure warning is very annoying, goes off at cracks in the road and bus stops. The rear seat folding sequence is a bit onerous and there is just not quite as much length in the boot as my mazda 6 hatch. Why do they make SUVs with smaller boots? Very happy with the purchase otherwise.

2017 Outlander purchased new. I was reluctant to buy Mitsubishi, but this Outlander was way ahead of its competitors on price, equipment, comfort and quality. I purchased the safety pack AWD, and it was worth every cent. We have taken this car from South Australia to Queensland in the worst rain I have ever driven in and it never missed a beat. I would definitely buy Mitsubishi again.

Cannot fault it gearbox is very different keeping it at peak torque has it's downsides but also does help depending how you treat it.
Car is great on the highway seats are comfortable Android auto is not to complicated to work out. Suspension is good really comfortable over bumpy roads better than expected overall I personally like it for me and my family we all fit middle seats are adjustable for the kids and the very back seats are split so great for all around.

The vehicle when cold has a shudder and surge. This occurs intermittently and we have been told by MMAL this is a normal operating condition even though when they have driven the vehicle they have not experienced the problem. They continually use excuses like its a fuel quality problem, its an operator problem, it happens with cvt transmissions. Two years down and still trying to get some one from MMAL that actually cares. They continually fob you off and delay and delay hoping you will go away. This is a similar problem to the one in the same ...

My family love our outlander. We have 2 infasecure grandeur car seats in the back and a booster in the very back and there’s still heaps of room for a pram and groceries/luggage (for when we can go away on holidays again). Very happy with it as a small family of 4-5!

We purchased an outlander from MMAL dealer in Victor Harbor some 2 years ago and from that point we have been trying to get the surge/shudder sensation and reversing sensors that don't work regularly. It has been back to the dealer 4 times with no resulting fix however the service tech reported the problem to MMAL. Their response was and I quote "The shudder/surge felt during deceleration is due to ratio change in the CVT and is normal for the transmission" this means every outlander of this model will have this problem and this should be expla...
Read moreined when you buy this vehicle from the dealer. We have driven many outlanders of this model all over Australia as hire cars but have never experience it any of these so I can only believe we are unlucky with this vehicle or its and engineered concern. MMAL are not helpful with either of the problems at all so before you buy ensure that the vehicle seller explains this so called acceptable engineering defect to you. I can say if this is not a defect it can when happening at its extreme whilst going through an "S" bend could cause the driver to over correct and cause an accident. MMAL have been extremely negative and totally unacceptable with a response to our problem and basically don't care so if you are thinking of buying one of these please understand this defect or as MMAL put acceptable condition may cause the customer a serious concern. If you go to this website you will see the same problem above is a problem with Outlanders in America. https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2020/MC-10177379-9999.pdf. Copy and paste this website and you will see a Mitsubishi Motors Technical Service Bulletin that explains the defect and then explains the fix. So much for the MMAL answer of its normal for this transmission.- Incentivised Review No

Fantastic SUV. Big Size but very fuel efficient.
I am happy to say that after purchasing this SUV with a lot of comparison with other SUV's. I am happy with this SUV. The main thing I like is for a SUV it is very (very) twice fuel efficient. It has at times given me 5.8 Its/100KM equal to 17 Kms/Ltr for its large size and 2.0 Litre engine. Very comfortable and spacious. I have done so far over 100K in 6.5 years and its been fantastic. I like the shape and the size. The boot is very spacious. I used it only on paved roads. Infact, still using the Toyo A24 tires that came with it with 20K -30...
Read moreK more life on tires. I have averaged 15K per year. All previous services within warranty were done with the dealer. I ensure timely service. Other that that it's a real smooth running car, it just glides effortlessly. Did have some issue with the transmission giving a sudden jerk on the lowering of gears. I gave to the dealer, they sorted it and also got the alternator replaced due to some recall. All was within warranty and so nothing to pay. Overall I am very happy and satisfied with my decision to buy a Mitsy.Purchased in at Mitsubishi Dealers for $31,500.
