r/MitsubishiOutlander

Hello- I love in Oregon and am interested i. test driving the new 2026 Outlander PHEV. I called both Mitsubishi dealers in the Portland area and they both said they have no idea when they will have the vehicle and to check back in July. Curious, I did a nationwide search on Cargurus and found exactly TWO vehicles available. What gives and should I simply buy a RAV4 and call it good?

I’ve always steered away from the Mitsubishi Outlander because everyone says it’s a rebadged Nissan Rouge but after researching some more it seems like they are actually pretty reliable cars.

I’ve seen several people say they’ve gotten up to 200k miles with little to no issues and say it’s actually a very nice car.

They are cheaper than a lot of other stuff and you still get a lot for what u pay for and they even have a 10 year/100k mile warranty.

Why do they get so much hate??? They seem like a genuinely good vehicle, sure they aren’t anything flashy or fast but they seem very practical

A few people have recommended I look at a Mitsubishi Outlander but I thought they were unreliable cats because they are basically a Nissan rouge.

I’d be very hesitant to buy one with a Nissan powertrain, especially CVT.

I’d want to be sure the car will last up to 200k miles. Is it there any mechanical issues with them? Or electrical?

What are the increments for servicing these cars? I know oil changes every 5k miles and transmission fluid I’ve heard every 30k miles but I’ve also heard every 60k miles. So idk on that one

Also is it a complete flush or is it a drain and fill for Trans fluid???

As far as other services go how often should I do stuff? I’m very interested in buying a new one and for the longest time I was told Mitsubishi was unreliable but I started researching and found out they are actually made in Japan

I want this car to last 200k + miles

I’ve been looking at new outlanders and I see it’s rated at 26 city /30 highway which is way better then the 19 city and 21 highway my bronco gets. Best I ever got in my bronco was 23 mpg on a 12 hour road trip.

Gas used to cost me $50 on a full tank of gas ( 20 gallons and depending on gas prices , recently they have been outrageous so it’s costing me $60 with 175 miles left of range so give or take $70 - $80 on a full tank.

I’m averaging 20 MPG in my bronco right now so I just want to get something more fuel efficient when what I get now.

I have a 5.0 Mustang GT as my fun weekend car so I don’t care if the outlander is boring I just need a reliable, practical , decently fuel efficient and comfortable daily driver.

What are y’all averaging with mixed city and highway driving with the gas outlander??? How does it do on long drives???

I just bought a 2025 Outlander Gas and it shows I can drive 550-590 kms max on full tank which I find okayish.. however I'd like to know from ther gas owners between 2023 to 2026 on what are they getting?

Also, does eco mode help? I find it too slow with 0 pickup that really drive me nuts.

Also, I'm in Canada so L/kms works or I can work with m/Gallon too.

Hey Everyone,

I’m from Ontario Canada I work at a Mitsubishi dealership in the GTA if any of you are looking to get yourselves a Mitsubishi vehicle or any kind or even a used vehicle feel free to message me I’m quite new to sales and will help you all get fantastic deals!

Feel free to message me if you have any questions!!

You guys with higher mileage...how often do you replace this?

Title sounds obvious but my partner and I just got stranded so I thought I'd share so you can learn from our escapade.

We had a picnic but weather forced us to eat in the car. My partner switched on the car for the radio but didn't press the brake in far enough to connect the drive battery. 20 minutes of radio later, warnings came on for ththe ASC, EV Drive and Brake systems.

We tried powering off the car but it wouldn't switch off. Reading the manual, it was a sign that the auxiliary battery was too low. Now we can't engage the Drive Battery or switch the car off. That meant we can't lock the car.

In the end we got a recovery vehicle out to charge the auxiliary battery for 5 minutes then drove the long way home.

Don't be like us.

I just bought a new 26' Outlander Trail Edition that had remote start listed on the features on the dealership website. I got the app working (after I left the dealership) and noticed it does everything except turn on/off the engine. What is the point of this? How could I do climate control without the engine running? This isn't a PHEV with extra battery power. Can dealerships install the factory remote start? Do I have to go for aftermarket parts? Does adding something aftermarket impact the warranty?

Anyone else go through this after the fact and find a solution? (yes, I will contact the dealer but currently closed).

Thanks for any insight/help.
