2017 Mitsubishi Outlander Overview, Reviews, Ratings & Specs

outlander owner on May 24, 2023

Bought new in 2017, then learned Mitsu as a company was not doing well, thought I made a mistake, now, 5 years later have had zero problems, (I kept up on all maintenance), it is THE best value car I have ever owned. (Hondas, Nissans, Subi, Chevy's). 110k and engine is like new. Roomy, simple, enough clearance for dirt roads here, good on gas, and smooth on hwy. I laugh at the bad reviews. They are flat wrong.

I love my Mitsubishi Outlander, it has been one of my favorite vehicles! I have driven cross country, it drives well in the snow, up and down the hills of Wyoming County! I am really upset they have been discontinued because I had planned to buy a new one this summer!

I bought my 2017 outlander se in 2021. I've really liked and no problems with it. I'm a delivery driver so I'm always in it and driving. The only flaws is that 4 having 3 rows y would u not have air conditioning or heater vents in the 2 back rows? It's only upfront on dashboard. Then when using phone thru the car u can only turn the volume up to 11 and it only goes thru the front passenger door speaker. No way I can hear anybody when a window is only cracked and forget when all windows r down. I can barely hear when all r up. Those 2 things r major flaws. U would think they could come up with some kind of code 2 fix that. Over all though love the car

I have owned this car since late 2017 and aside from standard maintenance, I haven’t had to do anything to this vehicle. Admittedly, I don’t drive much (I have about 41k on this car) but it’s reliability, style and safety rating made this choice easy for me. Not much room when the third row is in use but I have only used the third row one time. This hauls well (we have a hitch and a small 10ft garden trailer. I also own a 2018 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport that we purchased for my MIL. She loves her vehicle as well.

Just returned a rented one to Avis with 26,000 miles on it. Ok, it's probably been abused, but the suspension was shot. Rear wheel hop on rough road surfaces, steered itself when going over large bumps. This car is unsafe. Either didn't have or not working CarPlay. I would never waste a cent on a Mitsubishi vehicle.

Never thought I would buy a Mitsubishi, but am really impressed with it. Has a lot of options of a more expensive car. I have owned 6 Hyundai, but should have looked up Mitsubishi first.

I spent hours researching vehicles in this category and by far this car is the best value for the money. It has features I didn’t even realize when I bought it. Auto dimming dash lights and exterior lights including high beams. Drives beautifully and has a great turning radius for u-turns and tight curves. I love the Apple Play, the Rockford Fosgate stereo is amazing and it gets great mileage for a V-6. I use the eco mode most of the time and average 24-27 mpg driving an even combination of freeway and city miles. The blind spot notification and back up camera are truly life savers. To buy a car with all of the great features of this car by Subaru or Honda would cost $3,000-$5,000 more and neither of those brands has the great warranty Mitsubishi has. There is some road noise but I purchased window and sunroof deflectors and that has helped a lot. Bought this car used and the condition was like brand new. No chips or dents (and I went over it very carefully) . It’s lighter than the Volvo station wagon I had for 10 years but also gets better mileage and is a lot cheaper to maintain. Couldn’t be happier with my choice. I agree with the reviews that say don’t listen to the reviewers for the car and consumer magazines that test one car after another. Trust the reviews of people who have owned the car. It’s not as luxurious as some cars in its class but it has features like folding rear view mirrors that you can only get in higher end models by competitors. The V-6 is worth the extra money after having a turbo before. Most manufacturers in this class don’t even offer V-6. They may offer turbo assist but believe me that costs money to maintain. Give this car a chance. You won’t be sorry.

I'm not sure where some of the dumb expert review's from other websites get their information? All the consumer review's for the Outlander GT I find are highly rated!!! Stupid liberal media that gets paid off instead of reporting the facts!!! I've owned many awd and 4x4 vehicle's and my 2017 Outlander GT handles the rugged offroad great! You may get stuck because of ground clearance, but you will never get stuck because of the AWD drivetrain. I've put my Outlander through just as much as any Jeep Wrangler or Nissan Xterra I've owned and even it surprised me on what it is capable of when you lock in the drivetrain. Give this thing a few more inches of ground clearance and it is unstoppable!!! It handles amazing on snow and ice and after 52,000 miles not a single issue with reliability. Just because some liberal expert has a crappy opinion for an Outlander they probably never drove, the cold hard facts are the consumers are happy and I feel the same way. I highly recommend this vehicle to anyone.
