2016 Mitsubishi Outlander: Test Drive 

My wife just bought one. Hers is the 2017 Mitsubishi Outlander SEL and we love how it performs and the value is second to none compared to other SUV size of its kind. For the price of what u get it's a great deal and btw it's 100% made in JAPAN. So quality is good. Thanks for the nice video.

I work for Mitsubishi and would like to comment on Lane Departure Warning (10:25). If you'd like to disable it permanently, then simply hold LDW button for approximately more than 10 seconds. It will switch to LDW 2 mode and won't be back when you turn the ignintion on next time. Hope it helps.

I think the Outlander is a model that still keeps the spirit of the traditionals SUVs while competing in the Crossover market. That exterior tire and the ground clearance of more than 8 inches makes it a very capable SUV. In addition, look at the interior, is simple, not complicated and very like a true SUV, not pretending to be a big sedan.... The Diesel version available in Australia is very cool, like having a mini Montero Sport. It is sad it doesnt have air vents in the back, but I really think I can live with that, as my CR-V 2000 doesnt have them either... I am not fan of CVT, but considering the fuel economy, the space inside and the off road capability, that would be a car I can buy, forgiving those details. I mean, it is made in Japan, I can expect durability... After all, the Outlander has been a great car since its second generation, and even thoug the first generation was not that good, there are many of that model still running in the world.

I love my 2016 outlander, good thing I made a good choice. Still running good with no issue so far.

Changing lanes means you should have your indicator on, when you do that, no beeping..... indicator on means no beeping, get it!

I just purchased this vehicle for my wife. Not the leather seat model shown here. But my wife loves it and it beats her 2004 Grand caravan that was falling apart after 136,000 miles.

if you don't like hearing the LDW system, i have an easy fix. Do what I do and signal lane changes.

good value, good mpg, and u should of gone 4 wheelin dude,....that baby can play in the wild:)

I like how Mitsubishi slaps a sticker on the seats saying what to do if they don't work right instead of engineering them to work correctly 100% of the time.

Awesome review, Sam! That 2nd row seat looks like a pain in the ass. *Boing!*

that was really a good straightforward review,,,, it was really helpful

This is without a doubt the best car company in the world

Great review and loved the scenery .

im in Australia and I have a plug in hybrid outlander and love it

Very nice Review of the Mitsubishi Outlander :)

You are awesome at reviews

I enjoyed this review.

Nice suv and great review! Beautiful scenery too. Was this filmed in Arizona?

I miss the Montero, good thing I still have a Pajero in Haiti

nice review, love the vehicle

Great review

Hey Sam, I have a 2016 Outlander and am ery satisfied with it. I just thought I would comment on where you mentioned there not being any HVAC vents in the back. They actually run underneath the front seats. When I first bough mine i thought the same thing until one day when I was cleaning out the vehicle and since it was hot I had the A/C running and felt the cold air blowing from under the front seat and into the back. I looked under the front seats and there they were.

Great and beautiful SUV !

"full sized spare underneath" Hear that, Subaru?

This is a well equipped SUV from Mitsubishi

It's 2023. I am searching for a used 2nd vehicle. I found a 2016 with low miles ( 71,000) No accidents. So, here I am gathering info. The model I am looking at is the SEL MODEL, ALL WHEEL DRIVE. I need information on the reliability of Mitsubish's transmission. I noticed he didn't cover the wide body panel that collects dirt. It's just waiting to ruin your pants as you exit. I think I like the vehicle and will purchase it.

I’m a little late to the party but excellent review. Now if only I can find an awd off road review version of this life would be great...

You are so fun to watch :D

Iv got the standard model 015 model no problems its only got five seats 4wheel drive auto its plain white out side 2.4 litre petrol sale man told me you can put a third row did only 85.000km got it good price l was looking at rav 4 mist it by two minutes Mitsubishi outlander got a little bit of raod noise they are good for money for value.

Note to the tester, if u use ur indicator WHEN changing lanes, as per COMMON SENSE, the lane keeping NOISE DOESNT activate !!!

I would like to see the third row seating to be an option again. Not everyone needs it. The extra storage under the floor there would be a welcome benefit. I used to have the 2003 Outlander (original one) and loved it. Granted, it was not very powerful, but it was adequate for my driving style. With over 200K trouble free miles, I was sold on Mitsubishi's dependability, so I traded it last year for a new 2015 Outlander Sport. So far, very happy.

WooW Good Job ;) You Rock Man

I wish the outlander had the 1.2 in the back for emergency low fuel situations.

If you use your blinker, Like you should, Then you will not have that problem. This is a plus.

Is this Arizona ?

A couple of things...First I bought a $5 cigarette lighter adapter for the USB jack to charge my phone. No big deal. Second you can turn off the Lane Departure feature so it doesn't come on all the time by pressing and holding the button for several seconds. I have this SUV and it was the first thing I did when I got it.

good

You seemed so Tensed with this suv. I wouldn't buy that suv after watching your reactions. But love your reviews, :3

Has Mitsubishi contacted you about some stuff that was an issue? I do like this suv but i wish it had rear A/C vents seeing on how large the suv is.

I own a 2013 AWD Outlander with a 2.4 L motor. Overall I am very happy with my Outlander, it looks cool and rides well, is well made, but it does have a weakness...it is underpowered...really underpowered. I am actually surprised Mitsubishi is still selling a very good vehicle with an underpowered motor. If Mitsubishi wants to sell these, then bump the base motor HP to a minimum of 190 hp and then offer a V6 that is pushing a minimum of 250 hp. Do that, and they'll sell a ton of these.

The second row seat needs to be completely redesigned. Especially since it has directions for when it malfunctions.

10:25 Lane Departure Warning... Did you use a blinker? Will it deactivate when you use the blinker? I think its amazing. To many Assholes just change lanes with out using the blinker and then cause an accident or road rage. I am the guy that keeps bolts in the cup holder for people like that...

Does it have air conditioning on the second row and the third row

don't have back AC ?

OK changing lanes WIHTOUT using your blinker is a DUMB excuse to not like the Lane Depart warning. I turn it off, but if you use the blinker as YOU SHOULD it will not sound

You really don't have to be waiting for a shift. It you step on the gas and your speed increases, then it is working. :) If you don't like CVT's than there is the Outlander GT, 6 speed automatic transmission and it also comes with paddle shifters.

umm, use your turn signal LDW wont go off then...

it's very beuti suv

Ur flyer is opened man

I have an '06 Highlander with no central a/c vents and down in south Louisiana it gets hot. The grandkids really don't like the third row because of that. The a/c must be kept on high for them to get some sort of breeze in the back. This is 2016 Mitsu! Poopoo on you.

Hmmm, Interesting vehicle. I don't know about allot of the features here. I am not all that impressed. I was hoping for more since Honda, and Toyota, and Nissan give allot more. What is with that back seat. Springy cheap that screams. This from the company that made my favorite cars like the EVO, the Diamond star coupes. The awesome 3000 GT VR4. What are they doing to impress me now? Not too much. I could get more from a Hyundai or Kia than here. It just looks like a half hearted effort from a once great car company that could build great cars.

Its owned by Nissan now

very bad, i bought this car from the company and after 8 months the gear system gone!!!

lol you've lost an inch or two of height

The front grill and fascia are a hideous design which looks like a gaping hole. Mitsubishi's designers could have done a much better job. It's a deal breaker for me.

Cvt 👎🏻

i'm on my second mitsubishi....both outlanders (2016 and 2017) Horrible build quality. 4 months into owning it , the ABS module started leaking lots of brake fluid....destroyed all the paint in engine bay and subframe. Mitsubishi said too bad. Now , brand new car with exposed sheet metal ...will rust in a year. Lots of other issues with the car also. side view mirror cracked in half while driving on highway...never seen something like that in my life...nobody believes me...including the dealer. Interior squeaks and rattles after few months of fine pavement driving. I wanted something different than the usual honda and toyota....big costly mistake on my part. also, their dealerships are 3rd world...1 mechanic, 1 service rep..etc.....mom/pop feel when you deal with them. i live in fort lauderdale , so lots of dealers around....all with the same feel....subpar. Good news is they never feel crowded...show rooms are ghost towns. For what you get , their pricing should be way under the competition....by a 1/4 , just to stay in business. Both my cars averaged 15 mpg combined ....for a small suv ( i gave mitsu a shot because of long financing deals they had....6 years at 0 apr....wasn't worth it.

When are these automakers going to get it that the general public does not want cvts they are crap and when they go bad they're very expensive to fix glad to hear that the V6 is at least come with a transmission
