12,000-Mile Update: Our Long-Term 2025 Mitsubishi Outlander
In this comprehensive video update, we dive into our long-term experience with the 2025 Mitsubishi Outlander, which has clocked in at 12,000 miles. While it shares a platform with the Nissan Rogue, the Outlander stands out as a distinctive offering in its segment, and our experiences have certainly reflected that.
One staff member’s inspiring note reads, “I’ve become almost addicted to wanting to take this Outlander for weekend getaways.” This sentiment underscores not only the vehicle’s practical capabilities but also its increasingly impressive average fuel economy, which now sits at 27.2 mpg on regular fuel across 2,500 additional miles—remarkable for a compact SUV, especially one that isn’t a plug-in hybrid.
The Outlander’s spacious interior and well-appointed features contribute to its appeal. Our reviewers have consistently praised its comfortable layout, perfect for long trips. The ride quality is noteworthy, characterized by a substantial feel that provides stability against rough winds and larger vehicles on the highway. Although the soft suspension may feel a bit floaty on winding roads, it excels in delivering a smooth journey.
While we still believe the plug-in hybrid version may offer the best driving experience, this gas-powered Outlander has proven itself worthy, all at a price that’s roughly $10,000 less.
Join us as we explore these facets and more, highlighting why the Mitsubishi Outlander has caught our attention as a solid long-haul partner.
