Great family car
Absolutely a great family car never had any issues for the 2 years we owned it.Would have given the cars 5 stars but Only gripe I had was it had no power up any hills or off the lights and CVT gearbox Show details
Best car ever
This is my 6th outlander and this one like the rest is very very good. Best one yet!!!!! Great features, good ride ,excellent power and fuel consumption 6.7 l/100kms (42 mpg in old language) on highway. So so much room in front ,back seats and luggage compartment. Love the gps and trip computer. Bought from Glen at Cricks mitsubishi nambour. Great mob to deal withRegret buy a Mitsubishi outlander
Before I bought my first Mitsubishi that I thought Mitsubishi was a old car maker company they would make a good car but I was wrong from May 2022, I had waited 6 months exceed tourer in Adelaide,beautiful inside and outside,after owning one week I realised this car is very cheap build,door panels are very soft plastic,dash rattling,wind noise,Most big problems are hood fluttering on highway almost open,transmission shuddering when I lowering speed or not accelerating very annoying,when you start the car slightly turn steering wheel can clearly... Read more hear a deek sound ,on bumpy road very uncomfortable because they put 20 inch wheel midsize car Less knowledge mitsu workers said everything normal @ i realised that 10 years warranty = 10 years problem and issues ,my first Mitsubishi and will be last one.million times regret buying,if Mitsubishi always ignores quality lost market and profits in Australia.please before buy a mitsu think twice and do more research*WARNING* RUST ON BRAND NEW 2023 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER!!!
*WARNING* RUST ON BRAND NEW 2023 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER!!!! We purchased a 2023 Mitsubishi Outlander Tourer in August 2023 from Von Bibra Helensvale. We noticed visible rust speckles all over the vehicle. Upon taking it back to Von Bibra, they advised it was common surface rust issue which happens on there vehicles. We have now had the car buffed and polished three times from Von Bibra and the rust still remains riddled on the car. The attention to detail from the dealership to return the car three times to us confirming the rust has been removed is disgraceful and unprofessional. Absolutely disheartening when you spend 60k on a new car and it’s is far from an acceptable quality. Be aware!!!!!!!!!! Show details- +1
A very good family car for a very good price
There is enough space for a family, It is a 7 seater but the last two seats are basically to fit the kids but are not suitable for the adults. It came with a 10-year capped price servicing and a 10-year manufacturer warranty. A very good drive with good features (censors can detect any object in close vicinity and apply automatic breaks if the car is on the move while reversing, cruise control is there, has a front camera to detect speed signs etc.). This model came with a touch-free boot opening as well but this feature is no longer available ... Read morewith this model. I have been driving this car for about one and a half years now and have never experienced any issues so far. All in all, I will say it was a very good decision considering the price I wanted to spend to buy a car.Game Changer
As an owner of a new 2023 ZM Mitsubishi Outlander Aspire PHEV, I am thrilled with my purchase and driving experience.The hybrid technology seamlessly integrates electric and gasoline power, providing an impressive electric-only range for my daily commutes. In my first 3 weeks of ownership it has travelled 500km and only used 400ml of fuel according to the vehicle computer.
I utilise my solar system to recharge the vehicle when needed, based on current fuel cost of $2.00 / litre it has cost me less than $1.00 in fuel.
Mitsubishi has produced ... Read morea car with a sleek exterior design and thoughtfully crafted interior making every drive enjoyable. The user-friendly infotainment system keeps me connected, while the comprehensive safety features offer peace of mind. Charging is convenient, and the fuel efficiency is commendable. Mitsubishi has truly delivered a reliable, stylish, and eco-friendly SUV with the 2023 Outlander PHEV Aspire, and I'm proud to be a part of the Mitsubishi family. I can appreciate why this vehicle won the 2023 Car of the Year (in its segment)
Don't buy this car unless you have lot of time to go their car service for fixes
New outlanders are using cheap plastic material which does not stay in position even after a year. You will find some of parts start moving with wind after few months of driving. The wheels bar are so poor quality and it won't handle any major shock and will cost you lots of dollar to get fixed. The engine will loose power within few years and it won't be as powerful as you bought. Not like Toyota engine (although i am not Toyota fan) which last for years.The service teams has untrained people who will miss things when you get it for service ... Read more
for getting defects means you either have poor quality service or you will have come back again and again because the mechanics miss many things in the first checkups. Poor quality service i would say. Don't buy car from Mitsubishi, consider other options if you want a car that can last for few years without any trouble and if you want a car for many years then definability never think of Mitsubishi. I know you want to save some money but loosing all the investment in poor product is not called savings.It's just a meh, unexciting car
I've been driving one of these vehicles since early May as a loan car, after my vehicle was crashed in to (I drive a Hyundai Tucson). Although I am no car expert, I can say that I have a fairly objective and unbiased understanding of what this car is like to drive, and I have driven it most days. All I can say is that it is underwhelming at best. The only two good things I can say is that it is somewhat go-ey if you need a quick take off at lights or an intersection, and the petrol engine is fairly quiet. But that's about it really. I otherwise... Read more find it to be a tinny, cheap, plastic build. I like a door that closes with a solid heavy thud (my Tucson does this), but this car sounds like closing a sardine tin. All doors sound like it, even the rear boot trunk. Everything inside feels like cheap flimsy plastic that gives off a funky headache inducing smell during warm weather. It's like a Barbie doll house, that type of plastic. It's so flimsy that I have doubts about safety in a crash. Even the fabric on the seats is cheap and less sturdy in feel than a typical seat on a public train. The stereo is a weird muffled, bassy sound that is terrible at high volume. The rear reverse camera looks so dark to the extent that it's hard to see anything in daylight and I don't know how to adjust the brightness, assuming it's not a camera fault. Even the front headlights look like some horrible yellow colour straight from a 70s Datsun. To be fair it's getting me from A to B while my car is repaired. But I definitely would not buy one of these cars ever, especially considering the price of them compared to other cars in similar price ranges. I would strongly suggest that you test drive a number of other cars before settling on one of these cars for a purchase.Perfect car for a family with children
I have been using my Mitsubishi Outlander baught band new, October 2017. I have never had a problem and very low cost in maintenance. It does 12 to 13 km per litre of petrol for sure as I check most of the time. So far I have run 229,000 km. My mechnic says still I can run onother 200,000 km without any trouble. Show detailsDoes everything I need
Maybe having bought my car from an excellent dealership helps but my Outlander really has delivered what I need. It is a bit bigger than I need but it has fitted in well. I would like the rear seat windows to wind down more (ask my dog) but most things are well thought out. Only complaint is the adaptive headlights never going off high beam which means that you dazzle other drivers needlessly. I just never use it Show detailsNice comfortable car. DONT buy the genuine towbar
Have had the car 5 months. It drives nicely and is comfortable, It has a high bonnet though! Getting 6.2 highway & 8.5 around town.(petrol) Pretty happy in general. The GENUINE towbar is RUBBISH. You have to get on your hands and knees to attach the safety chain because the attachment is so far underneath, also meaning the safety chain is too short. (never been too short for any other car I have ever owned!!) same for trailer plug, hands and knees again. Mitsubishi has agreed "its crap" but said, "you know, that's how it is!" Show detailsGreat family car
Got the original version before the tech downgrade due to semiconductor shortage, there are powergate on the LS. Very reliable to drive around with. Limited 3rd row leg room, but perfect for kids when we need to take on a couple more people occasionally. For the techs packed in, it offers the best value. We are getting 6ish l/km on highway trips. Show detailsStalling Outlander Exceed At Traffic Light
Have had this 2016 Outlander Exceed bought from a dealer brand new. Vehicle worked fairly smoothly in first 2 years and continued 4 year servicing with dealer. During COVID 2020 lockdown when I wasn't driving car that much, I've had multiple stalling of the car when I stop at traffic lights and then attempt to move when green comes on. In some instances, the car moves say 20-30 meters and then stalls as if the gear is off drive. It's happened on joining freeways, on normal highways etc. I've sent car or complained several times to dealer but o... Read moren one occasion where they took the car for investigation they claim, the issue couldn't be replicated and hence can't help further. Strangely when this occurs, I just try pushing the gears in frustration and then the vehicles move eventually. However, it's always scary with cars behind wondering what's happening until I'm able to take off. Luckily it's always at stop and start situations and haven't had a car knock into me or stopped while speeding on free or highways. Only yesterday, the 24/11/2022, the scary moment happened again whilst on the Wellington road, around Rowville area. I feel so scared and angry that im helpless and cannot be helped by Mitsubishi to diagnose the issue at hand. Ive been told to record a video when it occurs by the deaker i sent this to but how can that be when you've cars around you and wondering what's happening for them to move. I need help and wondering if anyone has experienced a thing like that with the 2016 Mitsubishi Exceed modelDo NOT BUY Mitsubishi Outlander or Mitsubishi RVR
Bought a 2014 mitsubishi RVR in 2020. Ran ok for the first year although the previous owner did warn of owning this car. Since purchase to this day, the exhaust manifold needed replacing parts alone was $2,900 plus taxes and labour. Next thing right after that the alternator seized up which cost almost $500 to replace with an after market part. Rear brake calipers had to be replaced twice because the constantly seized up. Although I had it rust proofed that did not help as I wished. Had to replace a rusted transmission oil pan $$400 plus. Just ... Read moreso you know mitsubishi charged over $700 for the caliper. All this happened within the last year. I will get rid of this car in a few months a buy the car I always bought in the past, Toyota Camry. Stay away from mitsubishi cars. There are no after market parts available because no one is buying these cars in any quantities so after market manufacturers are not going to waste time making parts they can't sell. You have been warned.just rubbish
This is the second time my work has got one of these terrible cars, Honestly its the cheapest quality car of the worst build quality. the last one had 7 different faults in two years, mostly electrical. It was so underpowered , and noisy, and ran rough all the time. When they got a new model I thought they might have fixed the issues... but no, we got this a few months back and already the entertainment system has died and no touch screen working. It engine is so underpowered its like a motor mower, its handles like a wet sponge and feels just as cheap and nasty as the last one. I would never ever buy one of these terrible cars, just run away and avoid at all costs ! Show detailsQuestions & Answers
What tyre sizes
I bought a second hand outlander 2013, Headlights stays on while driving it only turn off when the engine is turned off.Relay is fine.It failed for RWC.Any suggestions for fixing this issue ?
Maybe best to check with a Mitsubishi service centre
Sorry, no idea other than mitsubishi is not well designed. Has lots of problems with my 2014 rvr with only 180, 000 km. My Camry had over 400.000 before a deer collided with me.
Is there any button to open the tailgate in the Outlander LS 2wd model?
Power tailgate comes with Aspire model and above only
It was offered in LS up until May 2022, when the semiconductor shortage became worse.
