UNDERDOG or TOP DOG?? -- 2024 Mitsubishi Outlander vs. 2024 Toyota RAV4: Comparison 

poor mens car. outlander looks way better.

@@razor19906Nah. The RAV4 is very well engineered, but it’s just that the Outlander is better designed.

​@@razor19906poor man's car?? How much is it??

I was shopping for rav4 in 2022 and most dealer wants 5 to 10k$ over MSRP in my area.

With the insane amount of markups above MSRP that Toyota dealers are asking for RAV4s, it’s cheaper to get the Outlander PHEV, especially with dealer incentives/deals plus the gov EV credit. Plus the Outlander PHEV has more HP and about 65 mpge.

I agree its not an apples to apples comparison.

@@bobbyaguilar2453 Yes, would be nice to know if this video was sponsored by Mitsubishi? :-)

How much you bought it for?

@@Gopinathk17 Got at MSRP, ~41k

It's only been a year! Let us know in another 2-3 or at the 70k mark! 😂😂😂

@1993rufus Yeah, I'm not going to be watching this video in 2 to 3 years, that's why I put a comment today...

@@B_Ahmed1234 You don't have to! I already what gonna happen! 😅😅🤣🤣

A que te refieres con 20 años y 200k millas soy nuevo comprador

@@alfonsomontana2543 It means the warranty is 20 years or 200k miles which ever comes first.

I'll also be visiting High Point Mitsubishi. Was there an extra charge for the extended warranty or are they really needing to sell cars and offered it for free?

I’m waiting for mine

Exactly what I was thinking.

Thanks!

Glad you enjoyed it!

Happy to hear that!

😂

I agree. Mitsubishi is underrated too. We've had 3 in the family since 2014 and we've all liked ours. The reliability overall has been good. Love the long warranties too if things go wrong.

@@palebeachbumDefinitely Mitsubishi is underrated. I don’t get the people who dismiss them easily when they provide extreme value for money.

@@mrgurulittle7000 It’s just a Nissan rogue.

Same here we own 7 Mitsubishis & 2 Toyotas, we love both brands but we do prefer Mitsubishi because it offers more for the money and it’s very reliable.

I'm sure you didn't drive a Hybrid trim of Rav4. That's much smoother, quieter and quicker than the gas model. And regarding CVT its damn reliable than most automatic transmissions as well, it worn less over time. It's entirely different from traditional CVTs, don't compare. I like Mazda as well but just want to clarify that.

@@Gopinathk17There was not much point test driving the hybrid because it was a 2 year wait time to get a new one. There were a few being sold privately but they were asking over $80,000. I’m old school and prefer the petrol engine with auto transmission. The CX5 thus far has been great.

Cvt for the rav 4 is an ECVT and it only comes on the hybrid models. Gas models have an automatic.

But you can have both spare tire and 3rd row seat. You just need to buy ones for Nissan Murano, under the 3rd row seat there's a place for spare tire.

Glad it was helpful! Good luck with your decision!

I have a 2024 and can confirm this is true. The rain sensing wipers wipe a tad too slow for me though lol. I manually adjust

Me too. My Gma has a RAV4 but my uncle has the new Outlander, and I prefer the design of the Outlander although the RAV4 is definitely a better financial choice.

How can you tell reliabilty when the Outlander is only 2 years old and MPG? Comparing Gas vs Hybrid. Resale? How much more you will pay with Rav4 when new, you can get an Outlander less than MSRP while RAV4 is 5k$ more than MSRP. How about warranty of 10 year 100k miles.😊

​​@@wsu610 Reliability - Based on the past reliability history of mitsubishi. Price -- though Toyota is pricey you would still end up with less costs due to least issues, less maintenance, more mpgs and highest resale values. 10 years warranty -- You need it or else you cant be peaceful for Outlander but you don't need that for Toyota as you already know it lasts for more than 10 years easily.

The review is not about Mitsubishi as a whole. Did you watch the review? Did you see the whole line up of Mitsubishi cars or Toyota for that matter? Comparing with Regular vs Hybrid is not fair isn't it? Price is not accurate as well. An XSE hybrid for 36k$? Cmon.

​​@@Gopinathk17and why would you give 10 year warranty if you are not sure with the cars reliability? Go be a member of both car groups and youll see what im talking about.

Why didn’t it work for you? I’m in the market lol

@@verynick well, there were a few things that bothered me that I can’t get over. First of all, my outlander is getting repaired right now for rodent damage to the electric motor wires, which is taking over 5 weeks to repair so far. Very frustrating. And when everything works correctly, the hybrid engine is still lacking in many areas for me. The power delivery could be better. Sometimes there is too much lag in throttle response. On another note, it’s advertised as getting 38 miles on a single charge, but I average right around 32 miles with an average speed of 50 mph. I also hate that when you’re in hybrid mode, the battery drains almost instantly and then you’re left with a 23 mpg combustion engine which sucks. Might as well just keep it in electric mode and use the battery that way. Hybrid mode is just useless putting it simply. Quality of work leaves a lot to be desired too. Looks nice in pictures, but after living with it, can’t help but start to feel the cheapness of it. Infotainment system is also faulty, especially when trying to connect to Apple CarPlay. Not to rant about it too much, but you have to ask your is it economically worth it for your specific needs. If you just need a larger vehicle that you drive less than 30 miles a day, then it’s something to look into. It’s definitely not the ideal hybrid for road trips, or even 100 mile trip. For 23 mpg, I’d rather just get a pickup truck. But to each their own. I thought I wanted a hybrid, but this one is just not for me. Hope this helps. Good luck to you though.

I have a outlander phev sel. I'm sad to here it hasn't worked out for you. My experience has been great none of those problems. I have gotten 50 Miles on one charge (but only once. Usually 42-44. Wife doesn't even get 25.) but it's not perfect. And in my humble opinion for the $$ I don't know what I'll buy again. Maybe just a gas version. I can buy a lot of gas fo $10k

@@dannycalderon8516 I appreciate that and am glad you are enjoying yours! Just not my taste is all. The massage seats are pretty bad as well. They should’ve just implemented ventilated seats

@@jjpark1989 I agree on the statement 100%

The design has stayed mostly the same, but the actual tech isn’t dated (safety + infotainment etc). I would guess it will be redesigned for the 26 model year.

@@MattCC16Gaming But that's far off, and the Outlander is just a Nissan Rogue wearing a different dress. So it makes more sense to get the Rogue that already has the new engine, the new transmission, and new infotainment system. This is all using outdated Rogue parts still.

The warranty on the Outlander is for much longer.

@@BoopSnootsorry for the confusion, I was referring to the RAV4. I should have specified.

@@MattCC16Gaming 👍🏾

Its like comparing hybrid vs gasoline, anyone will chose hybrid

Also, Top Insurance paid brand cars too .. that we can rate as -1 point atleast ;)

You sound a little jelly. The RAV4 obviously outsells the Mitsubishi and everyone else for a reason.

@@majorstack7214 - It's a garbage vehicle, there's no arguing that. It has one of the most cramped interiors in its class. Very little features for the money. A harsh, noisy ride. Seats that are very uncomfortable and interior panels that are very cheap to the touch and creak often. Engines start consuming or burning oil bad right before 100K miles. I once fell for the false indoctrination that they were good vehicles. They're crap vehicles

which model?

Yes. The Outlander colors are so boring and generic. The RAV4 is very pricey.
