Mitsubishi Outlander 2021
Carsguide Contributing Journalist Byron Mathioudakis had this to say at the time: Mitsubishis like the 1984 Nimbus, 1985 Magna and 1992 Lancer GSR 4WD broke ground in some way, but none as emphatically as the Outlander PHEV. Just by being so normal, user-friendly and accessible has eased consumer entry into electrification more effectively than any other vehicle worldwide.

The 2021 Mitsubishi Outlander carries a braked towing capacity of up to 2000 Kg, but check to ensure this applies to the configuration you're considering.
The Mitsubishi Outlander is also known as the Mitsubishi Airtrek (2001–2005) in markets outside Australia.

Mitsubishi Outlander 2021 Seats
One of the Mitsubishi Outlander’s better selling points is being able to fit seven seats into a medium SUV. Granted, the third row is better suited for occasional, rather than everyday use, but it is handy to have especially if, like us, you often have the kids’ friends in the back. The 60/40 split-folding middle row, with its improved seat shape and reclining back, is really comfortable, with rails that allow you to increase or decrease leg room if needed.

2004 Mitsubishi Outlander remote no longer synced
Ultimately, you may have to resort to a locksmith to have the key fob re-synced with the car. But before you do that, try this: Mitsubishis of this era often have a key fob with a lock and unlock button. While sitting in the car (or standing next to it) push both lock and unlock buttons down together. Hold them down until you see the fob’s LED flash three times. Then, push the unlock button for one flash of the LED. The LED should then flash another two times and you’re all set. The lock and unlock buttons should now work.
It may not work with all cars, but it’s definitely worth a try. If it doesn’t, you probably have a Mitsubishi model where syncing has to take place via the OBD (On-Board Diagnostics) plug which requires a bit more know-how and the correct plug tools. That’s where your friendly locksmith or auto electrician comes in.

What can I drive on red P-Plates?
The NSW government website advises that you must not drive a high performance car on red P-Plates. But that’s hardly the case for a 2007 Outlander, so you should be fine. The catch is that you must also only drive cars that feature the type of transmission you took your test on. So, if you took your test in an automatic or clutchless manual car, then the Outlander you drive unsupervised must have the same transmission type, and not have a conventional manual with a clutch pedal.

Should I buy a Nissan X-Trail or a Mitsubishi Outlander?
This issue will always come down to the documented service history that each car comes with. A switched-on previous owner will not only have serviced the vehicle by the book, but will also have kept the relevant receipts as proof of this crucial work being done. We'd always choose the vehicle with a big wad of service receipts over a similar car with no (or less) evidence of scheduled maintenance.
Beyond that, the Nissan clearly has almost 50,000 fewer kilometres on its odometer, so all things being equal it probably nudges ahead at that point. In either case, the CVT transmission fitted to these cars is likely to be the major source of mechanical grief down the track. Both brands' CVT transmissions have been known to give trouble. If that bothers you, then perhaps the one to buy is the Outlander AWD with the turbo-diesel engine option. In that guise, the vehicle has a conventional automatic transmission rather than a CVT.

Why is the fuel consumption in my '07 Mitsubishi Outlander so high?
It doesn’t take much to throw a modern engine off its game when it comes to fuel consumption. Modern electronics control just about every function of today’s engines and a single sensor that is giving the on-board computer incorrect information can throw the tune way out of whack without affecting the way the vehicle feels to drive.
The best advice is to have the car scanned by a workshop with the appropriate equipment to see if the car’s computer has detected any faults or glitches (which it will have logged). This is a vastly better approach than simply replacing parts at random and hoping that the problem will go away.
I agree that 14.5 litres per 100km is too much fuel for this car, so something is definitely wrong, especially if the consumption has suddenly increased without any change in your driving habits.

Mitsubishi Outlander 2021 Interior
The Mitsubishi Outlander Exceed's interior feels quite demure, courtesy of a dark colour palette. The high gloss piano black inserts may attract the dust but offer a nice contrast, as does the stitching on the leather seats and around the gear shift. The combination 8.0-inch touchscreen with the climate controls below is a tidy central feature and well positioned for inputs from the driver.

Mitsubishi Outlander 2021 Speed
Despite it's seven-seat capacity, the Mitsubishi Outlander Exceed (petrol) tips the scales at a relatively modest 1535kg, and its 2.4-litre naturally aspirated, four-cylinder petrol engine has enough oomph to accelerate the car from 0-100km/h in around 9.0sec.
