I purchased a loaded 2024 Outlander a few months ago and it's fabulous! I have zero complaints. I think the car is unique and gorgeous inside and out and drives wonderfully! 😍👍
I have a 2022 outlander. I picked up on 3/10/22. It is a special edition with silver metallic and black leather interior. Nice combo. I have no dislikes and it is awesome. And there is always nit pickers.
And just don't take it to long distance trip. If your car break down, you won't be able to find a dealership. I got rid of my perfectly fine 2018 sel because of lack of dealer network
Have this exact year and trim level. My only "hate" is the way the hood flexes and moves while moving 65+mph on highway. It's very distracting and I hope it's something they change in coming years. Overall love the car
I have the 2022 Outlander Black Edition, not quite as many bells and whistles but I loved the blacked out interior and exterior. I had the dealer put the roof rails and cross bars on it or I wouldn't purchase it, the only bit of negotiation I could do with this crazy car market was getting accessories free or at dealer cost. But I have had nothing but compliments on my gray baby, and even with the cross bars and AWD I still get upper 20s in the MPG around town driving. I adore this car and am so glad I bought it.
Every reviewer complains about the power train and yes, a geared automatic and more powerful engine option would be nice, but its really comparable 0-60 to most other compact crossovers with a base engine. Some are slower with their base engines. (VW Tiguan, Hyundai Tucson, Kia Sportage, Subaru Outback). But yeah, 8.5 seconds (more or less) is pretty much class competitive.
Oddly, my old outlander never went very fast if you put your foot to the floor either. But if you roll on it, keeping it just a little more than it could achieve, it would fly
Yes you don't slam down the accelerator on a CVT. CVT doesn't work that way, you can fly easily by slow acceleration. 😊 CVT driving is different from regular automatics.
@@vannitecmediastudio5860 my cvt cars, it never seemed to matter either way actually. 😆 This is a 3.0 mivec that came with a 6 speed though. Another great thing about this one is that it would actually use the gear you select and stay there, another thing that made it feel nore like a sportscar than it really was.
I have a 2013 with CVT. If you go into 'manual mode' with the shifter, you can rev out each gear deeper into the power band then the acceleration is much better.
I HATE the big block headlights. reminds me of the FAMILY TRUCKSTER STATION WAGON from National Lampoons Vacation movies. Arm rests are always to short/small.
Ok, I own a 2022 Outlander SEL Touring, I feel your pain with the transmission and of course the engine being underpowered. I have experimented and I have found a BIG difference in performance when I use Tarmac mode and when I use Premium fuel, The engine is very responsive and impressive. Please try it and let me know what you think. As you know the engine in this Outlander is a Nissan engine, Rumor has it Nissan is adding a Turbo charger to this engine and I would expect that the Outlander will receive it in the near future.
Thank you for sharing! I did play around with the different modes and didn't notice a difference however I'm not sure what gas was in the tank so it could be that mine was low grade. Good info for others to know. And as for the nissan, they are using a 3 cylinder turbo in the rogue. Not sure how it feels because I haven't driven it but perhaps it will trickle to the outlander. I'm very interested in driving the updated PHEV outlander that came out after this video.
I have an Outlander 22 SEL Touring as well. The car is beautiful and amazon is starting to get some aftermarket support for it. My only gripe is the wireless charger EXACT charging spot is iffy. And if you have a problem with its speed...try switching into Tarmac mode. It ZOOMS.
I own an Outlander and think its a great vehicle for the price. I have the mid model that was $30k and you get a lot of options for your money that no one else could compare. A large 9" display, wireless charging, power liftgate, a great camera system that you can change views even while you are parked which is a nice option and more. I have only 4 area's of improvement, the gas mileage could be better, I get about 18-19mpg in the city with the ac on, not bad for that size vehicle but nothing to brag about either. The next is the fake shifting on the CVT, it can be harsh at times. They should never do this to a CVT, to pretend to customers it's like a conventional trans. I would have preferred a 7 spd trans honestly. Next is the ride, it is on the firmer side but I don't mind but I know some people have commented on it. Last is the steering wheel, It's not round, I'm not referring to the visual part, I'm talking about where you grip it. For some reason they made it kind of egg shaped so the back is more pointed instead of it being round which is the most comfortable for your hand. This design makes no sense to me and driving a long time could make it a bit uncomfortable. Overall I really do like the vehicle and have no regret's , I would highly recommend it to anyone and it's very affordable, you get a lot of options for that price range and a better waranty than a Nissan for less money , so why would you buy a Nissan?
You would buy a Nissan if you step up to the Pathfinder. That one comes with a traditional auto transmission and a powerful V6! I think that’s the way to go!
I owned a silver 2022 outlander for 9 months before upgrading to a cosmic blue in September. Fantastic car. Only issue I had was the seat material in the upgrade is a smooth vinyl. It rubs against the plastic seat housing on floor causing a squeaky sound when I’m driving.
It's an awesome nissan that looks up to a rangerover that is cheaper to maintain over a short life (120k miles, maybe on average). Cosmetics compete with luxury for suuuuure. Price is unbeatable. It's not a sports car. Some 190hp with lag... Old school lux... But, is it good off-road?
I have driven this car as a corporate vehicle since spring. Things I hate are fuel economy is and it is underpowered, Seats are uncomfortable on a long haul, and while I love the 20s you really feel them over bumps. Fuel economy is the biggest gripe though.
I must drive pretty slow, my AWD with the cross bar roof racks always in place typically get's 26 to 27mpg driving around town in normal mode. I didn't like ECO mode it feels WAY to slow. On the highway I just barely break 30mpg. For a vehicle with a traditional gas motor, no turbos or electric assist to wear it out or have glitches I'll take that all day long. I'm not a fan of CVT Tranny's at all, but the mechanic videos I've watched on the one they put in this vehicle say it's suppose to be pretty good and reliable.
I like everything in the 2022 Mitsubishi I personally have a 20/20 Mitsubishi I wish they would have stayed with the regular gear shifter that's the only thing that annoys me on the 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander I'm not a big fan of that little stubby gear shifter
Just bought a 2024 Outlander ES gas. First time owning a vehicle with CVT transmission. When stuck in traffic on highway going between 20-35km per hour, the car makes a slight jerk when using gas pedal to break and accelerate, also makes slight jerks when breaking between 20km per hour to 0 (full stop). Does anybody know if this is a normal function for cvt's?
@@SchwayZ Could you advice is that feature really helpful, I mean does it often used ? or should I more trust on my driving skills, have seen Rav4 lower trims offering that feature why not Mitsubishi bit surprised they calling it as Mi Pilot and moved Lane keep assistance into it :| infact 2022 > 2023 SEL in terms of features offered!
Ref your #3 hate: who floors the gas like that? You're not helping the engine/transmission. You need to spend twice as much and get you a gas-guzzling BMW.
The transmission shifter is not intuitive. I had to watch a video to learn how to work it. Not good for a rental vehicle. The engine also feels underpowered.
The fact that Android is not wireless is a problem to me but I think when I test drove a launch edition that you could connect it via Bluetooth but it might not be the same thing that way and some consumers might not realize that so I'm glad you pointed that out
I nearly bought one of these what finally broke my interest was when I found out because of all this compromises it doesn't come with a spare tire at all. Which is fine if you're primarily in a city environment or near to cities but if you ever go out into the country you could be less stranded if you have a tire problem
@@desireesmith4754 nope I ended up deciding not to buy one and the reason may shock you. When I discovered it doesn't actually come with a spare tire I drive in areas of West Virginia where you don't always have great cell coverage because of the mountains and because of that I have to have a spare tire I can't rely on roadside assistance. If I lived in a flattered Terrain then I wouldn't have thought about it but since I posted this have they fixed the issue with the the hood seeming to want to vibrate off? Cuz that was a big issue too when I decided to not buy a car
@@G.G.G.zone7 is it now that wasn't quite right and that the metal itself would Flex at least it's been a couple of years since those issues happened they should have been resolved by this year I would think my big issue was because of where I live I don't like the lack of security and not having a spare tire especially when you're driving areas where there may not be good cell phone coverage it's a shame because I really loved the look of the new Outlander but once I found out about the no spare tire it didn't matter how much I loved it how much how much good it felt it was just not a starter for me I'm sure it's great for towns or people don't have to go very far and long haul
The 3rd hate is my only gripe with this beautiful SUV, I completely despise CVTs I've had them from the likes of Honda and Suzuki before and man they're horrible!!
Mitsubishi is the best Japanese car engineering perfect ultimate driving performance in all aspects very very comfortable car better handling that's why Mitsubishi always becoming the world champion in rally racing and long distance competition championship
I am on the market for a new car and the Outlander was my first choice but the issue with no spare tire, I am walking away from it. The other big issue is there is only a few Mitsubishi dealerships and not enough mechanics like others brands. So most likely I am going back to Nissan Rouge.
You can also use the nissan rogue spare tire for this vehicle and you can put it in the spot where the fix a flat is just remove that. There’s a video on it
Since they are the same mechanically, some things to consider,.The Nissan comes with a 3yr warranty 36k and the Mirsubishi comes with 10yr 100k . Also I think the interior of the Mit is much more luxurious than the Nissan with more options and a much lower price than the Nissan. Something to think about.
We upgraded my wife's 2007 to a 2022. The only things we don't like is that we lost a lot of storage space. The back dosen't hold as much. The center console is smaller only one glove box. The 07 had a top and bottom glove box and storage in the center of the dash. The back dosen't hold our cooler we use for shopping as well. 07 could hold our big cooler and a smaller one an a couple of bags of dog food. Other than that it's not that bad. Now I need to upgrade my 2004 doge ram to a newer model.
I purchased a brand new 2023 Outlander SE this May (2023) and have had nothing but issues with it. It has been back to the dealer 3 times and I have 1000 miles on it. The dealer has had it for a week now and have no clue what is wrong with it (some interior electrical/infotainment issue) so they just plan to return it to me as is. DO NOT RECOMMEND MITSUBISHI as this is the only brand I have had issues like this with (previously owned: Chevrolet, Honda, VW, Mazda, Mercedes Benz, Jeep).
In the reviews of the 2022 and 2023 outlanders nobody talks about NO SPARE TIRE AND RIM AND JACK , really a downside to the suv , air compressor and sealer offered with the suv not enough if you get a fast leak or blow out , had to do alot of home work to find the bolt pattern and center bore or hub , in order to get a steel rim spare tire
I agree I got my 2022 outlander in July 2021 and it was the first thing I noticed I did realize that if you change it to mud mode it will accelerate way faster it don’t need petal to the metal just. 1/4 throttle and drops gears way quicker than normal setting
That is slow. Would be dangerous around NYC, merging with short on ramps. This the reason I would not buy this. Im going to drive it and see for myself. Im also wondering about long term reliability with this low price. There is always a course and effect.
Yes definitely test drive it and see how it feels for you. Our elevation is pretty high and it was a hot day so perhaps you'll have a better experience. As for reliability, the Outlander comes with a great warranty. 10 year 100k mile on the powertrain. And 5 year 60k bumper to bumper.
I was considering one the phev edition untill I saw those attocious infotainment system, it just feel 2010’s laggy not the good relax and hopefull 2010’s but the laggy. I value the infotainment a lot with the driver assist as per default. This is simply unacceptable coming from Mercs and Tesla. Look, I wouldnpay a bit more to upgrade that screen and processor or even change it myself if the car industry would run on open platform
Look up 2022 Outlander Spare Tire. You can very easily remove the flat tire repair kit and some styrafoam, and a spare tire will fit right in. In other markets it comes with a spare so their is room under the rear floor. Mitsubishi just knows most Americans now a days will not change a tire themselves on the side of the road, but also it's a lot cheaper to give the repair kit ugh.
@@arizo2616 I don't know off the top of my head, but here is the video link. He said the spare he bought was from a 2015 Nissan Murano. But it shows him putting the tire on the vehicle, then also how to mount it in the rear. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-tDB3KrydUas.html
Don't slam down the accelerator on a CVT. CVT doesn't work that way, you can fly easily by slow acceleration. 😊 CVT driving is different from regular automatics.
If there would have been more Mitsubishi elements in this instead of just Nissan, I would have gotten this over the Eclipse Cross. But everything from the switch gear and injection molded plastics to the electronics is Nissan. If I wanted a Nissan, I would have bought a Nissan. Still a nice car, though, and better looking than its competition. Also, I understand that Mitsubishi needed to do this in order to succeed in the US.
I get what you’re saying but most cars have relationships or branches related to other brands without you even knowing. The Mitsubishi actually has better reliability recently and less issues. Also it has a better warranty, better looks and materials. I like how you don’t see them coming around every corner like the others.
@@UnenthusedEnthusiast They definitely are a head turner and look different than everything else. I can't agree on the reliability comment, though. Nissan has had many issues. Some as large as their CVT transmissions, others as small as the automatic tailgate not working properly, or trim pieces falling off. I understand that both Nissan and Mitsubishi have stake in and use JATCO transmissions, but the way that Mitsubishi tunes them in their vehicles has shown them to be far more reliable. Mitsubishi turning to more and more Nissan/Renault platforms worries me about their reliability.
I love Nissans, always have but hate the new ones. My 2014 Altima I had all the services done on time and babied it, and the tranny still went out at 78k. Of course even with the extended warranty due to the lawsuits, the mileage was still ok but the car was 10 months to old to have them fix it for free. So I don't mind the Nissan switchgear inside, and am just glad mechanic videos I've watched on this vehicle say the CVT is suppose to be on it's 3rd generation and are proving to be reliable from Mitsubishi.
After some research the main deal breakers are: the 2.5L from nissan, no 1.5. The CVT isn't the upgraded CVT-X model that just came out. It's the CVT8. Unfortunate because its miles cleaner looking than the rogue.
Who the hell buys a mitsubishi outlander for 0-60??? I seriously want my Mitsubishi in eco mode barely taxing any drivetrain components so I can drive the go#damn thing 500k miles..... If I want 0-60 and replace transmissions every 2-3 years ill buy a dodge!!! Better yet lets just replace the engine with a nice fresh one every year or two like they do over at Chevy...
👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼 *The graceful shapes of the previous version have been replaced by this gangly square thing.* *TOO UGLY CAR !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!*
Don't know man still have my 2013 mitsubishi outlander, with 200k miles on it. 9 years and haven't failed. Note: I've never changed the cvt fluid at all.
this car has NO CVT transmission gear! the combustion engine just keeps the rpm to get max power to feed the 2 electric motors. during this phase of acceleration there is no mechanicel connection between combustion engine and wheels!
It’s warranted for 10 years nothing to worry about make sure you change the transmission fluid exactly where it says to do in the manual and you’ll have no issues have 30,000 miles on my 2022 Not one issue
I would still take the Nissan since all this is is a repackaged Nissan. Plus after how mitsushitty treated my mother and I in regards to both of our mitsushitty cars, no thanks. Never again will I do business with them.
Absolutely junk I hate Mitsubishi now. Just today they tried to charge me $408 for a battery that died. It's a new car. I'm making more videos as to hey this suv looks nice but what happens when you need it fixed is most important
