This 2019 does have a spare. There is a piece of plastic you have to remove right where the latch comes together in the trunk door. When that piece is uncovered there is a bolt that can be unscrewed using the lug nut tool. The spare will slowly come down
Do the rear vents make a big difference? I really think i need the rear vents but the discounts on the 2018s are hard pass to on. Aside from the vents, leather and the cosmetics are there any more changes mechanical-wise? Did they stiffen the ride or adjusted the steering?
Sorry Ray I just saw this. According to Mitsubishi they discontinued it. On their press site and regular specs sheet it was noted. Only a tire inflator kit is available now. I didn’t get under to actually look since I read that..but that’s what they say
There aren’t any changes to steering or ride, not from what they mentioned or from what I could tell. Felt exactly the same as the 2018 IMO. The rear vents help the most when it’s like 90+ but otherwise it’s negligible. I didn’t get to drive in the winter to know the difference though...
Prime Autotainment thank you for replying and for this very good review. I wonder what they put in place of that spare tire or is it just an empty well now?? A dealer here in NE Florida has the GT for an internet price of just $24000. Drive away price could be $26k or less as it gets closer to the end of the year. $26k is like the price of an LE RAV4. But I'm on the fence with the GTs premium only gas plus lesser mpg. But $26k is a steal. I know Mitsu is known for their legendary AWD in the Pajero and Evo, I'm not sure about now with the Nissan-Renault merger. Although you won't get the JATCO cvt in the GT, the additional maintenance on the AWD might bite back in the future.
I have a 2014 Outlander - 96K miles, zero problems. No repairs so far. I am consistently getting 28 mpg mixed driving. Highway mpg is around 31-34 mpg. My complaints are minor - 1. Location of bottle holders 2. Lack of lighting in the lower dash
A great vehicle I would recommend it to everyone it’s really underrated and I would put it up against other suvs in the same class in most areas it’s comparable and it’s great in the snow and the third seat is hard to get into if you’re an adult but kids love it back there.
I want so bad to like Mitsubishi because I think they used to make pretty good little cars, but this is just too far behind the competition. I do it think it has some good points though. I would imagine after rebates and haggling, you could probably get one if these closer to $20,000, but I would still be worried that if you tried to trade it in a few years, you’d be in the red. Nice job!
Excellent points Jonathan. I agree with you. I’m curious if the newer eclipse cross is more competitive with others. I know they are capable of making a great vehicle, but for now they will probably stick with the discounted selling that they’re currently doing. This will work well for some people. Thanks for watching!
Prime Autotainment I like the look of the Eclipse Cross. I wish they would have named it something else though. I guess if you buy a car to keep and can get a too-good-to-pass-up deal on one it could be a good opportunity. If you like to trade your cars every coupe of years like me, a Mitsubishi would be a bad choice. And I never miss an upload!
Totally agree with that. I don’t see very many eclipse cross vehicles around but I know they are new. Not many Mitsubishi for that matter. I truly appreciate that, it means a lot and I always love to read your comments!
Had a 2015 escape and getting one of these soon not by chose I'm hearing it's pretty sluggish so I'm not to excited about that but hopefully it's not to bad
WATCH OUT FOR LEMON & POOR CVT Outlander. Bought new 2017 Model 4cyl in Jan 2018, had first transmission removal around 4300 miles. Engine Oil leaked through CVT torque convertor area. Same problem kept happen within 3000 miles range, Lemon lawsuit case filed and still waiting for anything from Mitsubishi. 10yr / 100000 miles Powertrain warrenty does not cover 100% for this matter. Luckily my bumper to bumper covered those issues.
I watched your review again (cuz it's a good review and I WANT this vehicle) and I noticed you said there is no spare tire. Unless they've discontinued it, the spare is mounted underneath the back of the car, like a pickup truck. Good thing to have, but not so great having to crawl under the car on your back on the side of the dirty road.
Thank you! The sad thing is they actually dropped it for 2019. I should have clarified that during the review. I was surprised to see that...it would be nice if they offered it as an option (maybe they still do, but it wasn’t listed anyways). Thanks for watching!
Hi, I have test driven this car 2017 model, I find the response from the steering wheel is a bit out of control, which means when the road is uneven, you have to hold the steering wheel extremely tight (or you have to fight with the steering wheel for control) before the wheels derail, what is your experience on this new model 2019?
I agree that it’s not very responsive. From what I could tell...it feels the same for the 2019 model but some others have said they think it’s better. Mitsubishi didn’t say they made any changes to the steering so I doubt it’s actually any better
At a stand still it probably has a rev limiter..seems like almost all new vehicles do nowadays but while driving and in gear it should be able to reach almost redline with floored. If that’s not happening you might want to get it looked at 😕
If this were an "all new" version, and considering the trim level, I would call this Compact CUV an epic failure. But I can't say that!! This chassis is 13 years old!!! Yet, it does most things right, including giving you a geared transmission with a V6 at just over $30,000, with a four-cylinder/CVT combo (And four wheel drive!) for under that? Frankly, I'm shocked that it's not a smash hit in our market! And, it's not bad lookin', either! Just sayin'. Papa has spoken 🐇
Rey Gacutan I would think you’d be able to but I’m not sure what size would work without rubbing it causing an issue. Try checking out some outlander forums and see if other people have done that 👍
I have a 2014 Outlander SE model with the V6. It is the most reliable vehicle I have owned to date. It is marvelous in the winter with a superior all wheel drive system. I also pull a small RV trailer and it also does that job well. A lot of vehicle for the money.
That’s great to hear! Glad you’re getting your moneys worth from it. It’s a versatile vehicle for sure. Hope you continue to enjoy it! Reliability is always underrated but so nice when you have it!
I bought a 2018 Mitsubishi Outlander GT and it's awesome. I took it all over to San Francisco from L.A., Joshua Tree in the desert going off road, to the mountains at big bear where I had to go on some rough roads just to get to a camp site. Mitsubishi builds their vehicles very strong and they are really reliable. I reccomend this brand for anyone who is looking for a 3 row seat vehicle with funtionality. In my Outlander, I have the Genuine Roof Rails, All Weather Floor Mats, rear Cargo mat, and the cargo cover. This 2019 does have a spare. There is a piece of plastic you have to remove right where the latch comes together in the trunk door. When that piece is uncovered there is a bolt that can be unscrewed using the lug nut tool. The spare will slowly come down. The only difference I see is that this 2019 has slightly better seats, rear A/C Vents, and more mpg I think from what I see..it's a best buy for anyone, and it comes with a 10 year/100,000 mile warranty.
Ray I’m glad to hear it! Thanks for sharing your adventures, sounds like you know how to have fun with it! Good observations and thanks for writing in!
I have the 2018 SEL and love it! It's my first Mitsubishi and I can see why there is a loyal following. By the way, your video on the 2018 SEL helped with my decision to buy my Outlander.
Good review. Can’t say much about this car.. I’m not the target audience Mitsubishi is going for 😂. My favorite part of this review was when you tried sitting in the 3rd row.
Haha thanks man I hear ya! I was hanging on to the camera with one hand..bracing myself with the other and got stuck haha. Shouldn’t have had that ice cream 😉. Thanks for watching man!
Just bought 2.0 month ago tried with the 7 adults quiet inside, decent driving, for power just play with paddle shifters if necessary. Cruising at 100km/h with full load don’t feel like speeding. Stable and confident👌👍
It's worth to get the GT😎😎 I got the 2018 Outlander GT and it is great. Very quiet, great AWD control, and it has a lot of space..hope you get it soon😉😎😎. I took mine everywhere from long road trips to San Francisco, off road at Joshua Tree, and up the mountain at Big Bear. It can handle it all and with that warranty and being made in Japan, it shows Mitsubishi stands by their vehicles. 😉😎😎
Drove it tonight.Improvement over the 2018 in seat comfort and steering.Not that loud in the 4 cyl.The GT with the 6 has better handling but a louder engine on hard acceleration.Drove the Eclipse also.Too softly sprung.May buy the 4 cyl Outlander.
I just bought a 2020 Outlander ES, I love it! I came from a Nissan Rogue and it was a huge problem needing a new CVT at 65k miles, my mother has a Mitsubishi Mirage and it’s been the most reliable car for her it’s now 5 years old and has 80k miles and it’s literally never given her an issue. So I went to the local Mitsubishi dealer and I literally would’ve taken anything with cruise control as the Rogue I had ..it had a basic radio, air conditioning and power windows/locks that’s ALL it had ..anything was an upgrade at that point between the lack of features I had and reliability issues. I talked to the sales guy and he pointed me to a 2020 Outlander ES ..I literally paid $17,600 for the CUV BRAND NEW after rebates and incentives. it has a back up camera, touch screen Bluetooth radio, heated seats, third row, cruise control and audio controls on the steering wheel the seats are comfortable it has the most quiet and comfortable ride it feels really peppy and it gets gas mileage my Rogue could never achieve. I’m looking forward to many years in this car. It’s also really safe getting an IIHS top safety pick. As much as some reviews I have watched or read saying it doesn’t compete with the competition ..I agree.. none of the competition can keep up with what the outlander offers for the same price.
Good thing you got the 2018 cuz they discontinued the spare tire for this 2019 model year. Thanks for pointing it out though. It’s a bummer they got rid of it
Okay, can several people clarify. How reliable are Mitsubishi vehicles now? I've seen too many conflicting opinions on Reddit and would like to know what the RU-vid audience thinks. Honestly, the Outlanders from 2007 onward don't seem bad but because of bad marketing I guess Mitsubishi lost some of its foothold in the US market and is trying to regain it.
@@PrimeAutotainment Honestly. I feel the lesser popular Japanese cars like Mitsubishi and Suzuki aren't getting the attention they should be getting. Great video by the way, earned a sub.
Hi there. Do you think the steering has been improved in the 2019 or would you say it's the same from the 2018 - 2019 version? Do you think the floor vents in the 2018 are adequate for heating/cooling the 2nd row? Thank you so much!
Hi Nena! The steering felt the same to me. I don’t believe they made any changes to that. If you live where temperatures are high for several months and if you have 2nd row passengers a lot...I don’t think they’d be very helpful. But you could always use the center air vents to blow straight back into the 2nd row while using the side vents for driver or passenger. For the stereo...the Fosgate definitely sounds better but the base stereo isn’t bad either. Unless you like to Jam a lot and that’s a big part of your drive, id probably pass. Hope this helps. Thank you and thanks for watching!
these car get so much of a bad rep, but its a great car or suv, on this one they could've gone big far as the wheel rim size 20 inch and gave a spare tire, the radio could've way better, the liner and the panel and seats are ok but def more of a curve to the seat. and it could've taller inside for taller people. I don't know about the CVT Trans i've been hearing how bad they are in Nissans, def go with a v6,
Thank you! This one was optional and part of the “convenience package”. I believe that package is $1,000 and includes Blind spot monitoring, rear cross traffic alert, and power folding mirrors
@@PrimeAutotainment, Haha! The "Premiere" feature sure is a neat addition to RU-vid. I'm actually watching the video right now. So far so good! Keep it up, Nolan!!!
Hello Buddy, I am shocked at the Value here from the Outlander. If it came Standard with all the safety features like Toyota and a few others they would really have something their. Even at $30,999. Awesome Watching you Squeeze in the 3rd row LMAO! I would NEVER fit at almost 6’2” and 200lbs. It would be a clown show for sure lol Keep um coming Buddy! Up and onward to 10K
Haha yeah it’s definitely not made for me but could work for kids! Like you said it Mitsubishi could add a little more..it could be a player with the others. Thanks for the support Gene!
gene978 Most people want no part of paying extra for those safety features. I have sold cars for 10 years plus and like 5% of people could give a shit about the extra safety stuff.
Forward Collision Warning system does not warn based on relative speed, it only gives if the front car is stand still. in real world we need for a slow moving front car while you are approaching in high speed. a little Garmin GPS "Garmin 010-N1682-02 Drive Assist 51 NA LMT-S" does a better job. I finally bought this GPS for warning. My old Subaru FMC was far far better.
I have my 2015 SE s-awc Ilove it. I drove it to florida on vaca. With my kids in 3rd row at the rest of my family from 2nd row from north east.. save me a lot . Its Fuel economy.
how can you say the third role is very impressive when you can't even fit in properly. After seeing the third role I guess am not buying this brand. Thanks for the video anyway.
It’s impressive to have a 3rd row at this price...but just like several other bigger and more expensive 3 row crossovers...they’re not meant for adults. For example the Toyota Highlander 3rd row and much longer Mazda CX-9 don’t fit me comfortably
They got rid of it for 2019. I failed to mention that, thanks though. I tested the 2018 last year that had it, but for whatever reason they dropped it for this year
LE should get standard Blind spot and rear cross traffic alert, standard sunroof, different looking wheels and maybe a few trim pieces. Can’t remember but not a huge difference. Are you happy with it?
Hello, it really comes down to what features are important. If you need a small 3rd row then the Outlander is your choice. Otherwise the rest are very similar. CRV is impressive with space and practicality, but has had recent problems with the 1.5 turbo engine. Xtrail cvt transmission is questionable. The current gen Rav4 is pretty bland but practical, the 2019 model will probably be better than the rest. Tough decisions! Test drive each one and that will help you eliminate. They’re all good options in my opinion
