The 2024 Mitsubishi Outlander range of configurations is currently priced from $33,990.
Our most recent review of the 2024 Mitsubishi Outlander resulted in a score of 7.8 out of 10 for that particular example.
Carsguide Contributing Journalist Marcus Craft had this to say at the time: The Outlander PHEV in GSR spec is a nifty daily driver, quietly appealing and more than capable of heading off-road as long as you drive it well within its AWD limits.

The 2024 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 2024 prices range from $34,100 for the basic trim level SUV ES 5 Seat (2WD) to $79,310 for the top of the range SUV Phev GSR (awd).
Base model Outlanders have fabric-trimmed seating for up to five occupants, comprising two front bucket seats and a rear bench seat. There are also '5+2' three-row variants offering occasional seating for two more.
The Outlander comes standard with height/reach adjustable steering wheel with multifunction controls and paddle-shifters, two 12V accessory sockets, electric parking brake, dual-zone climate control and a six-speaker infotainment system with 8.0-inch touchscreen, digital radio and Apple/Android connectivity.
At a minimum, all Outlanders come standard with 18-inch silver finish alloy wheels and a full-size alloy spare, LED headlights/ DRLs/rear fog-lights/rear high stop-lamp, rear spoiler and more.
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.

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.

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.

The base model Outlander ES 2WD luggage area provides (VDA) 485 litres of load volume with the rear seat upright and up to 1466 litres (or more than 1.4 cubic metres) with the rear seat folded. For seven seat models load volume starts at (VDA) 163 litres with all seats upright, which expands to 478 litres with the third-row folded and up to 1473 litres (or more than 1.4 cubic metres) with the second and third rows folded.
All petrol-only Outlanders share the same 2.5-litre four cylinder engine which produces 135kW at 6000rpm and 244Nm of torque at 3600rpm. The PHEV delivers 185kW of power and 450Nm of torque.
Petrol-only Outlanders can accelerate from 0-100km/h in approximately 10.5 seconds. The plug-in hybrid lowers the 0-100km/h sprint just over 7.0 seconds with both having a top speed of around 190km/h.
Mitsubishi claims combined urban average consumption of 8.1L/100km, resulting in a theoretical driving range of around 680km from its 55-litre tank. It uses 91 RON petrol. Theoretically the 'PHEV' Plug-in Hybrid will take you 3700km between refills, but that's predicated on keep the battery charging constantly (as in, every 100km).
