2022 Outlander - real life 7 seat test! 

Finally! A fair review with the use of the 3rd row. Most reviewers do not even bother adjusting the driver seats to make space. Should be common sense. Thanks for doing this!

I have watched 37 mitsu outlander videos with almost all saying it's a useless 3rd row NONE of them even showed that the 3rd row reclines (my first time seeing that) and that all rows can be adjusted to some what make use of all rows - I'm so glad I subscribed to your channel ❤ I have an outlander sport and looking to upgrade to outlander and I find your videos honest and extremely informative!! THANK YOU from New York!

The 3rd row seems great for short trips with children or shorter people. Not ideal for a large family but a great option to have the 3rd row for the one in one times you might need to use it. Good job Mitsubishi.

Lol !!! I love the real life scenario of packing the crew in 🤣🤣🤣 I haven't yet tortured my friends or family yet with the third row in my Outlander 🤣. Keep up the great work Mr. Mitsubishi 💖

This is brilliant. Finally an honest review that gives a real world picture of the seating capacity of this vehicle. We just bought a 2024 PHEV GT Premium and we love it!

The best review out there! Thank you so much for doing this!

this video is actually perfect cause i have a trip with 7 people coming up and was worried not everyone would fit in my car, but after seeing this I'm confident. thank you so much!

Man, if this guy is my sales rep I’ll be happy to buy my 22 outlander gt from him. Learning more and more about this vehicle gets me more exited to get my hands on one of them badboys.

Wow!! I've had my 2022 Outlander for a few months and never realized the 3rd row seats reclined!! Thank you for this video! Now I know that if I ever have to have 7 people in the car I will know how to make the necessary adjustments and sacrifices.

I’ve had mine for a year now and never had issues for family trips with all 7 seats filled up with 5 adults and 2 kids on the 3rd row. I’m 5’9” and I’ve been in the 3rd row a couple of times since I don’t want my friends to be sitting there and I let someone else drive, but it’s surprising how doable it is even for a long trip.

I love my 2022 Outlander. The 3rd row helps tremendously when you have lots of little ones in the family.

You have gone beyond the call of duty, to show us how it works, well done.

Thanks, very informative!

Very happy you did this! All these reviewers don't make the slightest changes to the seating positions when they post their reviews re the Outlander's third row. It's only common sense to have to adjust everyone's seating positions to maximize room and comfort for everyone. It's nice to see that carrying 7 people is very much possible in the Outlander. Admittedly, I've tried the third row on the new Outlander and it's even smaller than the one in my 2017 Outlander GT. But, it's good to see that it's still usable. Great video!

Thanks for showing a real life demonstration of seating 👍🏽

Best review of the rear seats. Thanks I have this in 2024 model in red with premium options. I love the heads up display. It is the best!!

brilliant, Ive never seen this test before. Everyone needs to work together with a little compromise. Other reviewers don't even suggest this idea.

That is so funny the way this plays out.

I have a 2019 outlander and I love it. I love the 2022 though. The 3rd row is useful for kids for sure. And y'all got my favorite Starbucks drink. Nice job.

You did it! Great video!

Another awesome video! Continue making these videos....

Great video, thanks for doing this!

Hahaha love the real life review!!! Keep up the good work!!!! Subscribed!!

This was a good video definitely put more just like this

Thank you for this review. Exactly answered my question

This is theeeeeeeee best video out there as always ♥️ my kids love 3rd row 😆 which is good peaceful driving experience for me 😁♥️

Great video thou👍 u are the only car vloggers do that kind of review. Putting 7 people in the car👍

Having additional vents in the rears makes a huge difference. I have been driving 2017 Outlander which sadly have the vents only in the front and in summer it gets really hot in 3rd row. I am glad they addressed the issue in newer models. I ended up buying a plug in car fan for the third row. Pluged it in the outlet available in the trunk.

Appreciate the honest feedback - I test drove one of these this weekend. Loved the features on the GT model particularly at that price point, but realistically this is 5 seater with a third row forced in. I can see this being a great car for a smaller family 5'6 and shorter, but I'm 6'2 (190lbs for reference) and I found sitting everywhere in this car, including the driver seat to be short in terms of leg room and narrow in terms of seat and leg well width.

Thank you for realistic review

I got mine end of March and I have yet to use the 3rd row. Nice to know smaller people can fit comfortably back there! Btw the drinks look yummy 😋

Amazing review!

Brave to order those drinks with that interior.

Thanks for this illustration,not enough reviewers showing this aspect clearly.Would you mind repeating it with a MY24 PHEV and some luggage in the trunk? The PHEV felt abit smaller when test driving it at dealership.

Very very nice review brother

I love this review

Thank you for the real life demo. Was the light ice/ no ice requested to keep the weight of the car down?

Light grey interior looks 👌

For a small lunch trip around town， works absolutely.

I love my 3rd seat. Im one of those that use 3rd road seat very ofter and fiind it very convenient.

I’m sorry but that 3rd row is a joke and mine will never see the light of day. If you don’t have small kids or you’re not a family of little ppl it’s pointless… 🤣 I love my Outlander tho ❤️❤️❤️❤️

First real car demonstration 👍🏾

Great vid and demo. Definitely a 5+2, with the +2 being kids.

finally someone did this

good video, I would buy one from you if you were in AB Doable for 7 adults if needed, but very rare that a person with an outlander would need to pile in 7 adults, there will usually be kids taking up at least a row which would make it very easy.

Very informative and honest review... problem is that Mitsubishi dealer near as is around 70 miles.

Brilliant video. I have never seen such a fantastic live demo with 7 people (or 5 people for other cars). Best video for knowing more on outlander seats

wow im glad I got mines

If you want to save space on legroom for the 3rd row, you can really manspread so you don't have to scoot up the other seats... I mean thats what I did and it worked

love this. planning on getting an outlander in 2023 and love this real 3rd row review. hoping the 2024 Outland will be just a but bigger for 3rd row seating :)

That's what I want to see thank you !

Mitsubishi seems awesome

Just curious - where are you located? Love the blackout conversions you’ve shown.

Are you latvian? Thank you for the review!!! No one really shows the use of 3rd row and this was very helpful! Paldies!

Great test! Could you please run the same 7 seat test again with the Outlander PHEV model? I believe the flooring is higher than the standard petrol model here so head and leg room may be a bit tighter in space?

you feel like hauling 7 adults everyday for hours at least then buy a van. function is there for once in a while. people thinking thats selling point its crazy. mitsubishi benefits price,warranty, and innovation for phev. since not many actually follow through in phev field.

If I could only afford one this is beautiful

Emphatically speaking, 3rd row is the best place for a school kid actually...i would trade any ease of space in the 2nd row, for that comfy and cozy spot behind to play roblox on my own~ I don't mind not having visibility at all because kids just don't appreciate outside view more than us adult..therefore i could conclude that this passenger mpv is ideal for parents with 2 to 3 kids..great vehicle indeed~ 😎👍🏻

I love mitsubishi so much ❤. Once you drive one, you don't want to drive anything else 😍

This would make a great 4 seat Crossover, but this video pretty much tells the tale of it not being a true 7 seater for most people. I'm 6'6", so how am I going to be able to drive with the drivers seat adjusted so far forward?

This is very very useful review. However, is there enough space for putting some luggage into back trunk when using 3rd row seat? Thanks in advance :)

Do you know if there is any difference in the size of the gen.4 fossil version of Outlander and the upcoming PHEV version?

Thanks! Now, I can make a better decision on my purchase.

Based on this video, the third row of all new Outlander 7 seater is quite small compared to Mitsubishi Xpander which is 7 seater too.. unfortunately Xpander is equipped with 1.5NA only..

This little people mover minivan reminds me of the Mitsubishi LRV from years ago that one come as 5 seater 3 door or 7 seater 5 door

I just wish the 3rd row has the ability to go back a few inches specially when the back cabin is empty.

My favourite car on the world... Love from Kenya africa

Serious question, my wife and I are a family of 5. Our kids are ages 12,10, and 4-months. We’re seriously considering the Outlander, how would this do for us, in your opinion?

I booked rav4 xle awd.. but after few days my wife hav seen your videos and she told me to go for a test drive of outlander.. and the result is we cancelled our Rav and booked outlander

Hi Mr Mitsubishi, Nice video. I believe most of you are more than 5.6 feet tall. I have booked exceed which will get deliver in nov month. I was always thinking that how 7 people look like sitting in this car. Got a perfect idea. My family is all 5.6 feet max tall so would be perfect for us.

3 kids (6, 3 and new born), currently in aging mazda5 and looking for something newer and more reliable and we will possibly end up with the Outlander with everything else too expensive in Ontario. User Highlander hybrid is either not available in the market or more expensive than the brand new Outlander, the new Highlanders are starting at $49k. This is crazy. Outlander is the only fuel efficient, cheapest 7 seater available at the moment

If Mitsubishi would just make the 3row fit a large adult it would be a banger of suv and folks would love the car

Excuse me but where is the well looking bald gentelman from the beginning of the video ;) ? JK - love Mr. Mitshubishi and his technical content - becuase of you I decide to buy New Outlander 2023 !!! Thanks for all great videos.

you got a nice three diamond jacket!! where can I buy in Canada? I have never seen it in Japan.

After all that chaos, I would get a minivan for 7 people, drive normally, and use it as a truck. That was crazy. Will still consider but the back seat, really just for children.

Hi, sir, I need your help. I have Autlander I need some pieces. Where can I get them?

Mong chờ xe này về Việt Nam!

I transported 9 people 45 minutes 🤷🏽‍♂️ the 3rd is okay good for the occasional drive and not a long term option

Would've been a good opportunity to show how many cup holders there are

Outlander should redesign to have a flat/straight rear window as the new ones are coming out with the design. Then they can have the 3rd seat slide to 2 inches further. One of the cheapest 3-row and cheapest Japanese branded SUV. And replace with 9-speed auto transmission. CVTs have issues so far with reliability. As it is if 3-rows are for little kids and emergencies, 10-year drive terrain warranty, this is a good buy.

The second row is smaller than the 2021 too for some reason. Don't know why that happened.

I personally feel that the driver shouldn’t have to move their seat. They’re the main ones who need to be comfortable to drive the car and should have to sacrifice.

I’m glad I won’t be having any use for the 3rd row at least to sit in. Because I will be driving instead as preferred. And this is where I say bring the Montero Sport back because that 3rd row is much better in comparison.

I own a 2022 outlander and the 3rd row is useless, whenever we have to use the third row it’s always a hassle for who has to sit in the 3rd row, also took a trip to Florida from Illinois and it was 6 of us, I had my 9 year old sit in the 3rd row and she said it was kind of tight, but she was just happy she was going to Disney lol. But I had no room for luggage so I had to buy a roof cargo box for the luggage, which gave me an mpg of 17 mpg! On eco mode! REALLY 17 mpg for a 4 cylinder on eco mode!!! I’ve taken the same trip to Florida 4 time, the other 3 times in my Lincoln MKX and this last trip in the outlander was the most uncomfortable! Overall okay suv for a 5 seater but if your going to be using the 3rd row frequently not the choice you want to make. I have a 2 year old in a car seat, 15year old, and 9 year old and definitely a tight fit. I also own a Lincoln MKX and the interior is way more spacious, you don’t feel like your on top of each other. Definitely trading it in as soon as I can, if your looking for a good 3rd row suv with leg room and good cargo space, Chevrolet traverse, Chevrolet suburban, GMC Yukon XL, and finally Ford expedition MAX. I have done my research since I don’t want to do the same mistake again the above trucks are the best cargo space with the third row and most economical $$$……Hope this helps….. 6inches to a foot wider and 1 foot to 2 feet longer and add a turbo to the 4 cylinder or upgrade to a 6 cylinder and it would be an amazing suv!

Hmmmmm seems fair to me. most of my family and friends are fair hieght at 5'0"-5'9".. i think this is perfect for me

Third row girl: We got tons of room here! )))))

7 ? But how many can you fit - ON THE ROOF RACK ? My 2005 Outlander has silly wee inner grip loops, inside the rain gutter in the top of the roof itself (under a weather strip that runs front to back) - meaning there are ONLY three possible mounting positions - for "roof-rack" load bars, for this model car. Unlike the full length open gutter-grip RAIN-GUTTER railing, of my 1996 Delica Starwagon, which allowed me to fit "as many" across the top gutter mounted load bars as I needed, such that I had two "almost together" at the front, one permanent & the other removable, with another two (removables) further back - spaced apart for actual "loads". I had the 2nd load bar absolutely FULL of assorted LED lamps, and spot lights, with strip lights along the leading edge as well as indicators on each end. Oh plus the radio aerial that I mounted in the exact middle of that load bar too - with a plug/socket permanently mounted on the front load bar, along with a 7-pin socket/plug for all the LED lamp arrays on the top 2nd (removable) load bar. I actually had so many LED lamps and spots up there, all controlled by various switches from a control box I mounted at the front of the center console, just behind the two gear levers, that I could DRIVE AT NIGHT, on or off road, without using the main vehicle lights. It was an amazing sight, to see road signs lit up with a blueish tint, as well as seeing distant signs and roadside animals etc., far quicker (further away) than when I used just the vehicle's main lamps. Using everything though - that was best (along with the yellow fogs behind the bull-bar/nudge-bar). Sadly, changing to the Outlander meant - no outside of vehicle (rain) gutter grips, and also nowhere to mount the control box, amongst the sliding elbow rest and the other junk in the center console area. plus it's dismal fog lamps were so low, I couldn't use them as fog lights, as they blinded me with the fog dazzle in the beam - between the road and me. On the Delica my master fogs were amber on the front bars - but my super bright LED Spots, that I used for distant driving lights, meant that FOG was lit up above me, allowing me to clearly see the road (under the very bright fog that was lit up so high. .. But - maybe I can fit something far more useful, than the ignorant/useless fogs they fitted low down on the front panel of this outlander, where they were the FIRST to get smashed by logging trucks "forestry stones and mud" being dropped by them - that bounced and rolled along the road, just at the right height to take out low mounted fogs (that I never got to use). I MAY be able to fit yellow LED spots into the same mounts (with some form of stone guard on them), and control them from somewhere other than a rotary switch on the headlight dip/main stalk, that means they (the fogs) ONLY OPERATE when the main beams (high or dip) are used - something weird to me as NZ Law states that fogs MUST NEVER operate with main beams on, and must use the sidelights too. Having these fogs ONLY on a rotary stalk switch, that operate ONLY when the side/main beams are on - makes turning them on/off when driving, extremely difficult, as I am NOT used to having so many main lights, and the dips and fogs, all on the ONE STALK. I also want to control them my way, such that they can be aux hazard lights if needed. (or super bright turn signal lamps - instead of the piddly wee ones high up inside the headlight cluster) The old Delica 4wd Van had a special fog switch, away down by my knee (on the main metal dashboard), while the headlight switch was up closer to the steering wheel, and the high/dip was a flick "either up or down" on the stalk. Which is why I loved my roof lights, as I controlled them with my (free) hand as it "rested" on the center mounted box, and the roof mounted lights lit up everything before my eyes got above the horizon, meaning I never had DARK spots on the road ahead of me, no matter how undulating the road ahead was. By having my own controls for the roof lights, also meant it was an idiot who tried coming at me on high beams, as I would (completely) LIGHT THEM UP - with what can only be described as "sunlight". I could also play patterns by flicking several switches in many different configurations, to "blink" at long-haul Truckies, many of whom could also play with their own multi-cab (and front of truck) fender & roof lights. Anything to keep a truckie awake was my motto, knowing that many on NZ's roads before about 2010, seldom saw another trucker - the roads being that empty of traffic at times in rural districts of NZ. Ah well, the complications one has, when replacing an old favourite, with something modern that doesn't really meet my standards of "driver controls".

In Manila I am pretty sure they can fit 12 people in there: 7 adults then 3 small kids on top of the 2nd row, 1 on top of the passenger side and 1 more on the middle of the front row...actually 13 if they have a baby on the 3rd row...LOL

😁 such a good boss too forget to mention that ,Starbucks for all the staff ♥️

I really never thought about fitting 7 in outlander. But how far can you go cramped? 50-100km max before passengers kick each other🤪🤪 Why Mitsubishi does not have bigger Pajero here in US???

On next week’s episode, The Whole Dealership Calls in Sick with COVID.

Sometimes, just because you can, doesn't (really) mean you should. But I guess, if you need to haul 7 adults and this is all you have, then let's hope the journey isn't far. I still never understood three rows in something the size of a Camry/Accord/6/Altima.

hey mr mitsubishi i want to know if we can up grade the speakers for the outlander 22 ES, They don't have no power

Whoa that third row is freaking small

After watching this video, I decide to keep my caravan😁

When it will be distributed in Vietnam? It must be a boom of consumer need.

How to tall are you guys? Just for better reference😊

Just a question about child car seats. I need to install 3 child seats. Is it possible to connect and tether them in the second row

Rear crumple zone is non existent if 3rd row is used
