Mitsubishi Outlander – Purchase Price
A brand new Mitsubishi Outlander will cost between £20,604 and £28,604 depending on the exact model, although even basic versions of the car come with a generous trim. Older Outlanders can be bought second hand from between £11,000 and £25,000.
Mitsubishi Outlander – Servicing
Servicing on a Mitsubishi Outlander starts from around £100 with independent garages, although prices do vary locally so it is best to check prices. However, new models come with a generous 3 year service plan which can help to keep the costs down and cover some replacement parts.
Mitsubishi Outlander – Engine Options
The Mitsubishi Outlander comes with a selection of engines from both Volkswagen's DI-D range and Mitsubishi's own MIVEC selection. The most economical of these engines, though, is the 2.0 DI-DC, which produces 174g/km of CO2. Most of the other engine options find themselves producing around 183g/km, while the petrol engine option emits a much higher 222g/km.
Mitsubishi Outlander – Car Tax (VED)
The effective 2.0 DI-DC engine finds itself placed into Band H for emissions, making it liable to a £250 showroom fee and a £180 annual road tax. Most Mitsubishi Outlanders, though, fall into group I, which calls for a £300 showroom fee and a £200 road tax. The uneconomical 2.4 MIVEC petrol engine falls into Band K, leaving it subject to a £550 showroom fee and a £245 road tax.
Mitsubishi Outlander – Fuel Economy (MPG)
The majority of the strong Volkswagen sourced DI-D engines average around 40mpg, giving an excellent economy considering the Outlander's size. The petrol engine, though, only provides drivers with around 30mpg combined.
Mitsubishi Outlander – Additional Features
The Mitsubishi Outlander comes with a very generous standard trim which includes ABS, a CD player, driver's and passenger's air bags, Isofix points and electric windows and mirrors. On upgraded models, options such as cruise control, side air bags, a DVD player, leather trim, parking sensors, electric seats and a Sat Nav system are available.
Mitsubishi Outlander – Performance
The 2.0 DI-DC engine will allow a Mitsubishi Outlander to reach 60mph in 10.5s and travel at a top speed of 116mph. The 2.2 DI-DC reaches a higher top speed than the 2.0 version at 124mph, however it takes longer to reach 60mph in 10.7s or 11.3s depending on the transmission. The uneconomical and inefficient petrol engine reaches 60mph in 10.5s and reaches a top speed of 118mph.
Mitsubishi Outlander – Insurance Group
The Mitsubishi Outlander 7 seater is ranked between insurance groups 10 and 13 depending on the model.
Mitsubishi Outlander – Conclusion
Although the Mitsubishi Outlander is a economical, high value 7 seater car, it does have one or two small faults. The rear seats are just small enough to be uncomfortable for adults, making them only really suitable for smaller adults and children, while there is also not enough room in the cabin for 7 people and a large amount of luggage. Some drivers have also reported finding the ride too firm.
