Mitsubishi Outlander 2017

FROM
$11,880

The 2017 Mitsubishi Outlander range of configurations is currently priced from $9,990.

Our most recent review of the 2017 Mitsubishi Outlander resulted in a score of 7 out of 10 for that particular example.

Carsguide Contributor Dan Pugh had this to say at the time: For what it lacks in the driving stakes the Outlander PHEV Exceed more than makes up for in practicality, design and safety. Whilst the idea of PHEV technology is inspiring, it comes at a hefty premium with the true cost benefits of electric-only driving only realised by plugging it in each night. That said, as electric SUVs go, the Outlander PHEV is one of the most affordable when pitted against its rivals.

Mitsubishi Outlander 2017 FAQs

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.

What to consider for a family car?

You’ve covered some important things, like reversing cameras. All of the current cars come with ISOFIX baby seat mounting points, which are also must-have items when you’ve got kids to transport. It probably comes down to what your wife is comfortable driving, so I would suggest test-driving a number of different cars before making your decision.

Mitsubishi Outlander 2017: How much can a dealer reduce the price on a LS 7-seater?

There’s generally little wriggle room on special offers, the price has already been reduced. You might be able to haggle on the trade-in price.
