Our most recent review of the 2019 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: The Outlander ES PHEV makes a good case as an EV family taxi for school runs and short hops around the suburbs, as long as they are short. Weekends are another story, where it may prove more challenging to maintain eke out a decent fuel consumption figure and could have you questioning the premium price tag over the petrol only version.

The 2019 Mitsubishi Outlander carries a braked towing capacity of up to 1600 Kg, but check to ensure this applies to the configuration you're considering.
The Mitsubishi Outlander is also known as Mitsubishi Airtrek (2001–2005) in markets outside Australia.
The Mitsubishi Outlander 2019 prices range from $16,610 for the basic trim level SUV ES 5 Seat (2WD) to $35,530 for the top of the range SUV Phev (hybrid) Exceed.
The following Mitsubishi Outlander comes in both five and seven seat options. These variants are available with five seats: 2WD ES manual, 2WD ES ADAS, AWD ES ADAS and PHEV. These variants are available with seven seats: 2WD ES CVT, AWD ES, 2WD LS, AWD LS, AWD LS DID, AWD Exceed, AWD Exceed DID. Black leather-appointed seats are reserved for both the petrol and diesel Exceed variants. Black microsuede seat trim combined with synthetic leather bolsters is available on the 2WD, AWD and AWD diesel LS variants, with black cloth available on the ES and ES ADAS variants.
There’s nothing to suggest the Outlander is a lemon. Just read up on all the reviews of the 2019 model. That should be enough to convince you it’s a decent SUV. The Black Edition is a variant of the Outlander with a long list of special features. I don’t see any reason to wait for the 2020 model.
Camper trailers typically weigh in the range of 850 kg to 1200 kg without the extra weight of things like food, bedding, clothes, etc. so it’s probably best to look at a compact SUV. A Mazda CX5 will tow up to 1800 kg, which would seem to fit your needs. Then there’s a Kia Sportage (1600 kg), Mitsubishi Outlander (1600 kg), or Suzuki Grand Vitara (1600 kg).
