Mitsubishi may not be the best-known brand in the U.S., but it is still here and it is still building budget-conscious vehicles backed by a 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty. The 2020 Mitsubishi Outlander SUV is a prime example.

This midsize-crossover SUV competes with the likes of the Chevrolet Blazer and Nissan Murano, but unlike those two it offers 7-passenger seating as well as something no other vehicle of this size does: a plug-in hybrid model capable of traveling up to 22 miles solely on electric power.

To its credit, the Outlander is somewhat uncommon, a fact that helps its otherwise generic styling stand out in a crowded parking lot full of Hyundai Santa Fes and Toyota RAV4s.

Driving the Used 2020 Mitsubishi Outlander

With only 166 horsepower from the engine residing in most trims, the midsize 2020 Mitsubishi Outlander isn’t the most powerful SUV in its class; in fact, it’s one of the weakest. As many compacts are now blurring the line between compact and midsize, one might find comparisons with crossover SUVs like the Subaru Forester, Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4, but even these have more power than the Outlander’s 2.4-liter engine produces.

The standard continuously variable transmission (CVT) is a good one and helps the Outlander achieve respectable fuel-economy figures nearing 30-mpg highway.

If you find you need more muscle, we suggest moving up to the GT trim with its 3.0-liter V6 engine and conventional 6-speed automatic transmission. Fuel economy drops only a few mpg, which we think is a good trade-off for the added power.

Another option is pricey, but greener. The Outlander PHEV employs a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine and electric motor/hybrid system for a combined output of 190 horsepower. The added boost in torque from the electric motors aids in acceleration, and the Outlander PHEV can travel up to 22 miles solely on electric power. Unfortunately, this setup doesn’t do much to improve fuel economy, with an EPA estimated 25-mpg combined rating.

Interior Comfort

Small but noteworthy changes have taken place inside the Outlander for 2020. Most appreciated is the new driver’s seat power-lumbar support, which is now standard on all trims. Rear A/C vents, illuminated window switches and a driver-controlled automatic up/down switch for all windows are also standard, something many competitors offer only on top-line trims.

All 2020 Mitsubishi Outlanders are 7-seaters except for the PHEV, which is a 5-seater. The interior is handsome, and access to the small third row is easy. Fold down both rows of seats and there’s more than 63 cubic feet of available cargo space.

Exterior Styling

Although the Outlander doesn’t particularly stand out in a class that includes the Chevrolet Blazer, Hyundai Santa Fe and to a lesser degree, Toyota RAV4 and Subaru Forester, it does have a clean look that has recently been improved with an updated grille and headlights, plus revised 18-inch alloy wheels. This Mitsubishi is understatedly handsome, and people who live in, say, Buffalo, will appreciate the electric de-icer that keeps ice and snow from building up on the windshield wipers. The plug-in hybrid Outlander is distinguished by unique badging, plus a charge port hidden behind what looks like an additional fuel door.

Favorite Features

FORWARD-COLLISION MITIGATION
Now standard on all but the base ES trim, forward-collision mitigation with pedestrian detection can help avoid a collision with a car or person. The system will first warn the driver and, if no action is taken, it will automatically apply the brakes to avoid impact or lessen the severity of an unavoidable collision.

MULTI-VIEW CAMERA SYSTEM
Available only on the SEL and GT, this multi-view camera provides a bird’s-eye view of the vehicle, making it easier to perform difficult parking maneuvers as well as negotiate narrow thruways or off-road obstacle courses.

Standard Features

The 2020 Mitsubishi Outlander is available as an ES, SE, LE, SEL or GT; the PHEV comes only as an SEL or a GT. Base ES models are reasonably well-equipped with a 7-inch touch screen, rearview camera, driver’s seat power-lumbar support, dual-zone automatic climate control, keyless entry, Bluetooth, heated front seats and side mirrors, and 18-inch alloy wheels.

The better-equipped SE adds an 8-inch touch screen with Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, forward-collision mitigation, lane-departure warning, auto high beams, rain-sensing wipers, dual USB ports and push-button start.

The LE is even more thoroughly equipped, thanks to a sunroof, black exterior accents, a black headliner and safety features that include blind-spot monitoring, lane-change assist and rear cross-traffic alert.

The SEL adds power front seats, optional leather interior trim and an available upgraded Mitsubishi Power Sound audio system.

In addition to the V6, Outlander GTs get LED headlights, power-folding mirrors and a conventional 6-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters.

Outlander PHEVs have DC Quick Charging capability, but only the GT has outlets in the rear seat and cargo areas to power electric devices.

Factory Options

Two primary option packages are available, the most comprehensive being the SEL Touring Package. For $3,000, Outlander buyers get LED headlights and fog lights, a power glass sunroof, the Mitsubishi Power Sound audio upgrade, a heated steering wheel and the multi-view camera system and adaptive cruise control. The SE Convenience Package pairs a glass sunroof with rear cross-traffic alert and lane-change assist and is attractively priced at $1,000. Pearl White paint is a $395 option.

Engine & Transmission

The 2020 Outlander, in ES, SE, LE and SEL forms, is powered by a 2.4-liter 4-cylinder engine that sends 166 horsepower to the front or all wheels (FWD, AWD) via a CVT. All-wheel-drive versions all use Mitsubishi’s improved Super-All Wheel Control (S-AWC) setup with Active Yaw Control. The 2.4-liter engine burns regular unleaded gasoline and it gives the Outlander a towing capacity of 1,500 pounds.

The Outlander GT, with its 224-horsepower 3.0-liter V6 engine, ups that to 3,500 pounds, but it does require premium fuel. The GT’s transmission is a conventional 6-speed automatic with paddle shifters.

As for the plug-in hybrid version of the Outlander, it pairs a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine with two electric motors. This Outlander PHEV can run on electricity alone for up to 22 miles. When using the electrified powertrain in conjunction with the gasoline engine, which is most of the time, the Outlander hybrid has a range of 310 miles. Recharging takes around eight hours with a standard 120-volt outlet.

166 horsepower @ 6,000 rpm

KBB Vehicle Review and Rating Methodology

Our Expert Ratings come from hours of both driving and number crunching to make sure that you choose the best car for you. We comprehensively experience and analyze every new SUV, car, truck, or minivan for sale in the U.S. and compare it to its competitors. When all that dust settles, we have our ratings.

We require new ratings every time an all-new vehicle or a new generation of an existing vehicle comes out. Additionally, we reassess those ratings when a new-generation vehicle receives a mid-cycle refresh — basically, sprucing up a car in the middle of its product cycle (typically, around the 2-3 years mark) with a minor facelift, often with updates to features and technology.

Rather than pulling random numbers out of the air or off some meaningless checklist, KBB’s editors rank a vehicle to where it belongs in its class. Before any car earns its KBB rating, it must prove itself to be better (or worse) than the other cars it’s competing against as it tries to get you to spend your money buying or leasing.

Our editors drive and live with a given vehicle. We ask all the right questions about the interior, the exterior, the engine and powertrain, the ride and handling, the features, the comfort, and of course, about the price. Does it serve the purpose for which it was built? (Whether that purpose is commuting efficiently to and from work in the city, keeping your family safe, making you feel like you’ve made it to the top — or that you’re on your way — or making you feel like you’ve finally found just the right partner for your lifestyle.)

We take each vehicle we test through the mundane — parking, lane-changing, backing up, cargo space and loading — as well as the essential — acceleration, braking, handling, interior quiet and comfort, build quality, materials quality, reliability.

2020 Mitsubishi Outlander Review: New Model Can’t Come Soon Enough

by Michael Butler

It would be naive to say that the SUV market in the USA has got some healthy competition going; it’s more like an all-out war-zone with each car company fighting for every inch of market share, and the sad truth of the matter is that the Mitsubishi Outlander has been outgunned by the competition. It feels underpowered and wallowy, and is just not special enough in a market filled with exciting offerings. The range of naturally aspirated engines fails to inspire, and the handling and driving experience is worrying. Mitsubishi has gotten a few things right, though; it’s quite economical, safe, and affordable. With a new Outlander looming around the corner for 2021, we think it’s best that the current model be put out to pasture.

New 2020 Mitsubishi Outlander Changes: What’s The Difference vs The 2019 Outlander?

Mitsubishi treated its Outlander SUV to a mild visual refresh in 2019, and 2020 sees even more updates, despite the fact that an all-new version is on its way. Notable changes include the addition of Mitsubishi’s advanced All-Wheel control system on all four-wheel-drive vehicles. The new SP trim adds a bit of bling to the LE trim, and all models above the ES now get auto-forward braking, lane departure warning, and auto high-beam assistance. These models also get a newly developed eight-inch infotainment screen. All 2020 Mitsubishi Outlanders get power-adjustable seats with lumbar control, extra USB ports in the rear, and redesigned second-row seats. Red Diamond also joins the color palette.

Pros and Cons

• There’s a standard third row
• Impressive standard warranty
• Good standard feature list
• All-wheel drive is available across the range
• It’s not that bad to look at

• The base engine doesn’t cut it
• The interior feels slightly cheap
• The infotainment system feels outdated

What’s the Price of the 2020 Mitsubishi Outlander?

You can get your rear in the driver’s seat for as little as $24,895 when you go for the base model ES 2.4 in 2WD guise. But, the price of the 2020 Mitsubishi Outlander increases to $26,895 when you select 4WD. The cost increases by $2,000 for 4WD across the range. The SE will set you back $26,095, rising to $28,095 for the 4WD version. The LE steps up the price to $27,295 (2WD) and $29,295 (4WD), and the SP goes for $28,495 (2WD) and $30,495 (4WD). SEL models sit below the range-topping car and cost $27,495 (2WD) and $29,495 (4WD). At the top sits the GT, which comes with 4WD as standard and goes for $33,745. These Mitsubishi Outlander prices are MSRP, and do not include the $1,195 destination and handling fees. Compared to Kia’s Sorento and Nissan’s Rogue, the Outlander is the cheaper choice, on average.

Handling and Driving Impressions

The 2020 Outlander handles exactly as you’d expect a tall-riding SUV would: you get excessive body roll when entering and exiting sharper corners, which is especially concerning because of its narrow body. Despite being at the receiving end of a refined suspension and steering setup in 2019, the Outlander still displays handling characteristics of SUVs of old. Over small bumps, the Outlander will maintain its composure and soak undulations with relative ease but hit more serious stuff, and the Mitsubishi feels like it won’t stop bouncing around. Not cool. To add to the Outlander’s woes, the steering is overly soft, and there’s virtually no feedback coming out of the steering wheel, which is unnerving when you’re driving at highway speeds. Off-road, the Outlander’s wobbly stride is more forgivable, but out on the road, competitors such as the Kia Sorento and Nissan Rogue do a much better job.

Verdict: Is the 2020 Mitsubishi Outlander A Good car?

In an age where every second car manufacturer is jumping onto the SUV bandwagon, it takes more than just the good-old college try to be competitive in the US. Mitsubishi has decades of experience in building tough and reliable SUVs, but in this new age, buyers depend on more than good ground clearance numbers and sturdy cloth seats. The Outlander received a minor update in 2019, and 2020 saw the addition of a couple of new features as well, but behind the fresh face lies an SUV that’s showing its age. The 2.4-liter engine found in lower-trim models is woefully underpowered and struggles when pulling along a full load, but gets good gas mileage and should be bulletproof. The ride and handling is another issue we simply can’t get past; it’s wallowy, wobbly and uncommunicative – not something you want in a family SUV. The interior is also showing its age and makes use of hard plastics and glossy bits and pieces that just don’t cut it anymore. Its saving grace is its affordable price tag and good safety record.

What Mitsubishi Outlander Model Should I Buy?

New buyers are spoilt for choice with six trim levels to choose from, two engines, and 2WD or 4WD, there’s something for everyone. The Outlander is best looked at as a family workhorse, rather than a trendy city runaround; if you’re looking for a city crawler, then you’d be better off looking elsewhere. For that reason, we would suggest sticking to the lower end of the lineup. Based on our reviews of the Outlander, we would go for the SE purely because it includes advanced driver assistance systems such as forward collision mitigation, lane departure warning, and automatic high beam assist. The SE also offers an upgraded eight-inch infotainment system with standard SiriusXM satellite radio, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto. Other conveniences include an auto-dimming rearview mirror, push-button start, and steering wheel voice recognition control. The SE goes for $26,095, only $1,200 more than the base model when selected in 2WD guise. That said, the current generation is due for replacement, so you might want to hold out to see what the newest Outlander will have to offer, or just wait for a deal on the outgoing generation.
