Rating: 4.71
Based on 17 Owner Reviews ▶
Drew B | March 31, 2025
The 2011 Mitsubishi Outlander is a compact SUV that offered seating for up to seven passengers with an optional third row, a rarity in its class. Its body style is a crossover SUV. Key trims included the ES, SE, and XLS. New, it ranged roughly from $22,000 to $28,000. The Outlander was popular for its unique blend of affordability, available V6 power, and the aforementioned seating capacity, making it a practical choice for families.
The Good

The 2011 Outlander offered decent performance, especially with the V6 engine. It's a relatively reliable vehicle, and the design is reasonably appealing. The Outlander's value proposition is strong, offering a lot of features for the price. For the emotional buyer, the available V6 provides spirited driving, while the practical buyer appreciates the fuel economy of the four-cylinder engine and the versatile cargo space.

The Bad

The 2011 Mitsubishi Outlander's interior materials can feel cheap compared to some rivals. The third-row seat is cramped and best suited for children. Some owners have reported issues with the continuously variable transmission (CVT), particularly in earlier model years, so it's essential to have the transmission inspected. Rust can also be a concern in areas with harsh winters.

What Problems Does the 2011 Mitsubishi Outlander Have?

The 2011 Mitsubishi Outlander has some frequently reported problems. One of the more prevalent concerns involves the continuously variable transmission (CVT). Some owners have reported slipping, shuddering, or complete failure, although this seems more common in earlier model years. Regular CVT fluid changes are crucial to mitigate this issue. Another potential problem area is the electrical system, with reports of malfunctioning sensors and issues with the remote keyless entry. Rust, particularly in areas with road salt, can be a concern, especially on the undercarriage and around wheel wells. Some owners have also reported issues with the air conditioning system, particularly compressor failures. It's essential to check the vehicle's history for any recalls. While Mitsubishi has issued recalls for various issues across different model years, a thorough inspection for any open recalls related to the 2011 Outlander is advisable. Long-term reliability can be affected by these issues if they are not properly addressed. Regular maintenance and addressing any warning signs promptly are key to ensuring the longevity of the vehicle. Consulting online forums and owner reviews can provide further insights into specific issues encountered by other 2011 Outlander owners.

How long will the 2011 Mitsubishi Outlander last?

With reasonable maintenance, a 2011 Mitsubishi Outlander can reach 150,000 to 200,000 miles or more. Many owners have reported exceeding this range with proper care. However, long-term durability hinges significantly on maintenance habits. Neglecting regular oil changes, transmission fluid flushes (especially for the CVT), and timely repairs can significantly shorten its lifespan. Weaknesses over time often manifest as rust in colder climates, potential CVT issues (if not properly maintained), and wear-and-tear on suspension components. Keeping up with scheduled maintenance is key to maximizing the vehicle's lifespan.

What Technology & Safety Features are Included?

The 2011 Mitsubishi Outlander offered a decent array of tech and safety features for its time. Standard features included a CD player with MP3 compatibility, power windows and locks, and keyless entry. Higher trims offered an upgraded audio system, a sunroof, and a navigation system as optional features.
Driver-assistance features were limited compared to modern vehicles, but some models included features like anti-lock brakes (ABS) and electronic stability control (ESC).
Safety features included standard front airbags, side-impact airbags, and side curtain airbags. Optional features included a rearview camera.
Crash-test ratings from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) should be consulted for specific scores. Generally, the Outlander performed reasonably well in crash tests, but it's important to review the specific ratings for the 2011 model year. Keep in mind that safety technology has advanced considerably since 2011, so it lacks many of the modern driver-assistance systems found in newer vehicles. For the entertainment section, a Rockford Fosgate audio system was available on higher trims, providing a significant upgrade in sound quality.

2011 Mitsubishi Outlander Prices and Market Value

When new, the 2011 Mitsubishi Outlander ranged from approximately $22,000 to $28,000, depending on the trim level and options. Current used market prices typically range from $5,000 to $10,000, depending on condition, mileage, and location. The Outlander has depreciated significantly due to its age and the availability of newer, more technologically advanced SUVs. Factors affecting resale value include the vehicle's condition, mileage, maintenance history, and whether it has the desirable V6 engine and optional features. Models with a clean title and well-documented service records will command higher prices.

2011 Mitsubishi Outlander Cost of Ownership

Insurance costs for the 2011 Mitsubishi Outlander are typically moderate. Fuel costs depend on the engine choice, with the four-cylinder being more economical. Maintenance costs can be average, but potential CVT issues could lead to higher repair bills. Parts availability is generally good, but labor costs can vary. Long-term ownership costs are neither exceptionally economical nor excessively costly, sitting somewhere in the middle compared to its rivals. Diligent maintenance is essential to keeping costs manageable.

2011 Mitsubishi Outlander Insurance

Insurance for a 2011 Mitsubishi Outlander is moderately priced, reflecting its status as a Sport Utility Vehicle with strong safety ratings and
reasonable repair costs.

How Does the 2011 Mitsubishi Outlander Compare to Other Sport Utility Vehicle?

The 2011 Mitsubishi Outlander competed with vehicles like the Toyota RAV4, Honda CR-V, and Nissan Rogue. In terms of performance, the Outlander with the V6 offered better acceleration than some of its competitors' base engines. Feature-wise, it was competitive, especially in higher trims, but lagged behind in modern technology. Reliability-wise, the Toyota RAV4 and Honda CR-V generally have a better reputation. Price-wise, the Outlander often undercut its rivals, offering a more affordable entry point. However, the lower price also reflects some compromises in interior quality and long-term reliability.
Alternatives to consider include the Toyota RAV4 for its reliability and resale value, the Honda CR-V for its spaciousness and overall competence, and the Mazda CX-5 (though slightly newer models) for its sporty handling and upscale interior. The Nissan Rogue is a similar alternative but shares some of the same reliability concerns as the Outlander. If reliability and resale value are top priorities, the RAV4 or CR-V are better choices. If budget is the primary concern, the Outlander presents a viable option, but careful inspection and maintenance are crucial.

Final Verdict: Is the 2011 Mitsubishi Outlander a Good Sport Utility Vehicle?

The 2011 Mitsubishi Outlander is ideal for budget-conscious buyers who need a versatile SUV with available seven-passenger seating. It's worth buying *used* if you find a well-maintained example with a thorough service history. The V6-powered models offer better performance, but the four-cylinder is more fuel-efficient. A pre-purchase inspection is highly recommended to check for potential CVT or rust issues. Avoid models with a questionable history or signs of neglect. If reliability is paramount, consider alternatives, but if affordability is the key factor, the Outlander can be a reasonable choice under the right circumstances.

Suits my needs.

I like the car. It really suits my needs. It’s small with plenty of room. The one issue I have is that the seatbelt pinches my hips. Other then that, the car is excellent for city life and travel.

CVT transmission can not be fix!

I loved my car. Was planning on keeping it for a few more years then buying a new one. Out of the blue, the transmission just stop working. Took it a garage and they said the transmission was bad. No wheres in the owners book does it say to change the transmission fluid. Also, has been serviced at a Mitsubishi dealer. Called the same Mitsubishi dealer and they said a new transmission cost about $6,800 and installed would be around $8,500, but the transmission is backed order for 6 months. Also, no after transmission or parts to rebuild it. I was hoping to give this car to my son and we where going to buy a brand new Mitsubishi Outlander. No one in our family will ever a Mitsubishi again.

Great Ride

I was very skeptical at first of Mitsubishi but took a test drive. Love the drive and handle of the car. The rebates needed to help sell allows it to significantly undercut the pricing of its competitors. It has been rock solid through heavy use with the bumper to bumper warranty still active for piece of mind. Ended up being my favorite car!

A DRIVER'S CAR. Fun, fun, fun or economical ho-hum

So you?ve read the rest now read the best. 2011 Outlander SE w/2.4L 4x4. This is a DRIVER'S car. No, it doesn?t have as much horse power as some but if you learn how to drive it, you're going to have just too much fun. The first thing you're going to have to do is disregard gas mileage, (While you and your car are learning.), and teach the car your driving habits. During this time you will need to figure out the power band for each gear using the paddle shifters on an empty road. So now that you've figured out that at (X) mph, if you drop down to (y) gear, you?re going to be at the start or middle of the power band for that gear. Fun, fun, fun! The suspension is solid and allows the car to pull through the corners tight and predictable. There is a bit of torque steering in the lower gears but that lets me know I?m hitting the power band just right. The four wheel drive has worked great in this Colorado winter and I don?t think I?ll ever buy another car without the remote start feature. The seats are very comfortable with the lumbar support right where it should be, for me. The cup holder to the left of the steering wheel gets little praise but, man is it convenient. Just watch your knees getting in and out if you leave it extended. The hands free bluetooth system is fantastic and should be required by law. The Rockford-fosgate w/subwoofer sound system is truely awsome! I can hook up my android phone to the RCA jacks and use a music player that has an equalizer that I downloaded. By doing so, I am able to create a, as good or better than component stereo presents inside my vehicle. Sometimes, I just keep driving. Like in The Matrix....Woo! If and when I drive mellow, I?m getting about 25mpg city. Traveling at 75 to 80mph on the highway, my gas mileage decreases compared to 65mph or lower. This may not be the most economical car, but it can be some what conomical depending on your driving habits. So here?s my conclusion, If you like to DRIVE your car, the outlander with its transmission, suspension and controls make it a DRIVER'S car. If you are a commuter, the Outlander is an economical vehicle. There are other more economical 4 cyl. engine vehicles out there but you won?t find the styling, performance and value of the Outlander. To me, this is a true hybrid vehicle. Fun, fun, fun or economical, (enough), ho-hum.
