If you feel disappointed by what other models in the Mitsubishi lineup has to offer, wait till you lease the all-new 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander. No doubt, for years, Mitsubishi has been offering dull and uninteresting models, but we can give them credit for their consistent “pay what you get” nature.
And after years of trailing behind, the Japanese automaker now seems to be awake from its deep slumber, offering a car worthy to stand against rivals while holding Mitsubishi’s badge high. The fully redesigned 2022 Outlander is the most modern and highly competitive product from the Mitsubishi brand for years. On the outside, it sports a good blend of bold and dazzling bodywork. Inside, this compact SUV affords an improved and elegantly styled interior with a roster of features. Its chassis has been tuned to deliver a more refined ride. If any Mitsubishi should make it to your shopping list, the 2022 Outlander should top the list.
Engine And Performance
Power comes to the 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander from the 2.5-liter naturally aspirated I-4 that pumps out 181 horsepower and 181 lb-ft of torque. This inline four-cylinder engine pairs solely to a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT). And while FWD is standard, Mitsubishi offers an AWD with a multi-mode as optional.
Compared to other compact crossovers, Outlander’s powertrain provides enough power and eager acceleration for everyday driving. Its transmission is smooth and offers decent gear shifts on the highway. Although the completely redesigned Outlander is not the most athletic option in the compact SUV class, it provides communicative and firm steering, composed handling, and responsive brakes. Its body control is above average, just as the new Outlander delivers a quiet and comfortable ride even over rough road surfaces and broken pavement.
Fuel Economy
The EPA estimates the 2022 Outlander to return 24 mpg in the city and 31 mpg on the highway with the FWD, and 24 mpg city and 30 mpg highway with the AWD. These numbers are decent for a compact SUV.
Interior
Inside, the 2022 Outlander outclasses its outgoing model and offers stiff competition to some SUVs in its class. This completely overhauled Mitsubishi SUV sports an upscale interior adorned with rich upholstery, soft-touch plastic, and clean-cut designs. Its modern cabin also boasts an assortment of state of the art convenience and comfort features, including an 8-inch touch screen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a remote keyless entry, push-button start, and dual-zone automatic climate control. The dashboard of the new Outlander looks modern. It can be fixed with an available 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster and a head-up display.
The first two rows of this three-row are cozy and supportive, while the third-row seats are best left for teens and kids. Its cargo hold capacity outclasses some alternatives in the class.
