The 2018 Mitsubishi Outlander. |
But there are people in 2018 for whom a brand-new 2013 vehicle with a 10 year/100,000 mile powertrain warranty at a significant discount would be exactly the right thing...and the Outlander fills that role like no other.

The absence of 58 horsepower in a vehicle this size is, of course, noticeable, but it performs well enough in everyday driving that we wouldn't rule out getting the four, especially when making that choice saves some significant money.
Choosing the top-of-the-lne SEL S-AWC (all-wheel control) saves $4,100 over the base price of the 3.0 GT. Fuel economy improves too, from 20 city/27 highway to 24 city/29 highway.

The options essentially equipped our SEL like a GT, apart from the engine and the transmission.
With $940 destination and handling, the bottom line was $32,260...which is $1,830 less than the GT we drove last year. At a time when you can spend more than this for RAV4s and CR-Vs, smaller vehicles that carry fewer people and less of their things, the Outlander once again makes a strong value argument.
