I just bought the Outlander after looking at the following PHEVs, Rav4, Outlander, Mazada CX70 and CX90, Kia Sportage, Hyundai Tuscon, and Ford Escape. I am 6' 7", I could not fit into the RAV4. The Mitsubishi has a better towing capacity and more roomier. The RAV4 is way overrated. I am very happy with Mitsubishi!
Finally i see someone near my height, so hearing that you can't fit into certain vehicles helps me make decisions. Not being sarcastic, honestly saying thank you.
You just listed all the vehicles I am trying to decide between. How do you like your outlander and what was the OTD? I don’t have a Mitsubishi dealer near me, which is concerning, for future repairs
@@batmama4242 I have had my PHEV Outlander now for 6 months now and I have put 8500 K on it. I love it. Most of my driving is 70-80% Electric. I cannot believe the gas mileage I am getting on longer trips .I get 2.8 l /100 km to 3.9 l /100km on longer trips. I went to KW Mitsubishi in Kitchener, Ontario to get it. They have stock. I had my first service and the dealer knows I live 130ks away. I make an appointment and they take my PHEV immediately and service it. I am very pleased with their service and fast turnaround. I found another Mitsubishi in Owen Sound which is about 80ks away from me and I have been told by locals I should give them a try. Hope this helps.
My 6’4” sciatica prefers the Outlander seats over the RAV4. I long-term rented both, ‘19-‘22. The RAV4 felt compact-minivan like, overall. Which it was designed for.
I test drove the Kia Telliride and Sorento... way over priced! I test drove the RAV without hybrid, onky 135hp...PITIFUL!! I drove the Nissan Rogue.. to small and only 155hp. I bought the Mitsubishi Outlander SE S-AWD Black Edition, with Mitsubishi's beautiful Pearl White. This vehicle is amazing. Drives great. I drove this vehicle through 13in. of snow and, later, ice. It never slipped once. I drove by 4 x 4 trucks and SUV'S slid off the road every where. With my snow mode engaged, the Mirsubishi makes it impossible to over rev tue engine.. pkus it has hill assist and 5 different drive modes. 185hp naturally aspirated engine. Best SUV in this class. By far! Best AWD system on the market. Only Subaru can compete.
We have a Mitsubishi outlander SEL 2019 and has android auto. We purchased it below 30k and we have no regrets buying it. Still staying strong up to this day. We love the feature of the outlander. Everything is very good. ❤
Yes. Correct. I give it to Totota for speed, but when it comes to fanciness, they lag behind.I was in 2024 RX350 sports recently. The interior didn't wow me. Still prefer my Outlander GT, same year.
The Outlander is definitely an impressive design inside and out, and the interior of the outlander is lovely… but it’s definitely not up to the same quality of the Rav4. The outlander is also underpowered for a vehicle of its class, particularly a 7 seat SUV. The outlander is also more expensive than the rav4… and has a traditional CVT🤢
Mitsubishi is a very underrated brand on many levels. I think they could sell more products in the states if they had some new models such as the X Force sold overseas. Imo Mitsubishi vehicles are just as god as any Toyota.
They are one of the best engineered car companies in the world. I simply dont like their move to cvts or smaller engines. The old monteros and monteros sports are amazingly overbuilt suvs
I bought my 2017 Outlander because when my Dad was in the war in Afghanistan his Mitsubishi is one of the things that kept him alive, bullet holes and all. I absolutely love my 2017 and have considered getting a new one. The only thing that sucks is there aren't enough dealerships close by.
Bought a 2005 Mitsubishi Outlander back in the day. At first, I was leery about the brand but decided to give it a try as the RAV4, my first choice, was thousands more and out of my budget range. The Mitsubishi's warranty was better too. Turned out to be one of the best and most reliable vehicles I've ever owned. More than 12 years later, I have since purchased an Outlander Sport and an Eclipse Cross and so far I'm very happy with the vehicles.
Bought my 2022 Outlander SEL Touring early Oct. 2021 in Nicholasville and have loved every inch and ride we've owned it. I have a friend who owns a RAV4 and every time he rides with me he says "I love your car." Before buying I watched numerous video comparisons, including yours, and the Outlander won us over. I don't recall you comparing the width of the door openings - Outlander's seem to go an extra 5 to 6 inches wider which helps when you're loading suitcases or boxes in the back seat while your golf clubs stay in the back storage space. [An aside - do you all live near Brannon Crossing or is it just that the dealerships are near by? I drive that road to my golf course 2 or 3 times a week.]
2 years ago I had to take a decision between those 2 and also a CR-V. I got the Mitsubishi SE trim. Best decision ever, no regrets at all. Amazing interior, beautiful exterior and great technology. Both CR-V and RAV 4 look old, outdated for me
I compared both today and it was a hard decision 😅 Ended up with the Outlander because it was less cost eventually and the dealership (High Point Mitsubishi in NC) upgraded the warranty to 20 years and 200,000 miles. Couldn’t say no to that ❤
I'll also be visiting High Point Mitsubishi. Was there an extra charge for the extended warranty or are they really needing to sell cars and offered it for free?
Guys - thanks for creating content we want to see. This video is great example - RAV4 vs Outlander. The former the best seller, the latter the slightly cheaper 3 row.
You failed to mention that Toyota dealers are charging aka : gouging , $1000s above MSRP.. where as Mitsubishi dealers discounting their Outlanders by $5000+ and O% interest for 48 months ..at that point the Outlander is a clear winner..until you drive one and realize it's actually a rebodied POS Nissan Rogue..
With the insane amount of markups above MSRP that Toyota dealers are asking for RAV4s, it’s cheaper to get the Outlander PHEV, especially with dealer incentives/deals plus the gov EV credit. Plus the Outlander PHEV has more HP and about 65 mpge.
We purchased an Outlander se a year ago and absolutely love it. We had a RAV4 purchased new as well. We are getting a second Outlander this weekend. We are trading in our Wrangler. We tested Hyundai and Mazda top SUV’s, my wife thinks that the ride quality and comfort of the vehicle is superior to the other vehicles.
great video. thank you for highlighting important features like the reliability, fog-lights, and third row; while also unemphasizing unimportant worthless electronic gizmos like proximity sensors, wireless charging, huds, screen size, push button starts that only exist to inflate car msrps
Just last year I was looking for my very first new car, thinking of these two exactly. But since Mitsubishi dont sell Outlander in Europe anymore I chose Rav4 hybrid 4x4 instead and despite I really wanted Outlander, I absolutely love my Toyota now 😊😊🇨🇿. Thanks for video !
I am very happy that you've added reliability and resale value to your rankings. If there was a way to also add a cost of ownership over 5yrs for example, that might be useful to some also.
Got a black sel premium with grey seats and I love it 🫡 got a lot of discounts with my military/ owning a 2015 outlander sports (gave it to my sister) it was 52k and I got it drop to 47k with all my discounts! It's been 3weeks and I haven't had to put gas in it! I mostly just use it to drive to skool and back!
We had a 2023 Outlander for 41K+ miles (deer totaled it) and were generally happy with it... the lack of a spare tire always made me uneasy, but we had no issues. The techno-gadgetry could be glitchy, and the adaptive cruise wouldn't always kick in, leaving just conventional cruise. Almost any rain above a drizzle would knock out the forward sensors, but we never got less that 30mpg except for very short grocery runs and routinely got over 35mpg, with a couple times over 40mpg -- the CVT transmission was unimpressive, but fine for our use and overall we liked the Outlander very much with the above noted items. It was very comfortable on longer trips (above 1500 miles in 24hrs...)
I used to own2020 CRV EXL, really like that car unfortunately it got stolen a month ago. I live near Philly take a guest who stole my car. I spend 3 weeks looking to buy another car frustrated and confused didn't know which car to buy. Was thinking of buying a used 2022 CRV EXL 9K miles. The Honda dealer wanted $34,124.21 OTD. Today the light bolt in me light up. I made decision on the Mitsubishi outlander. I don't care about resale value. I do care about reliability. But with the warranty from the company it should be good. Thanks guys!
Didn’t like the RAV. It’s too noisy which is very obvious in your acceleration segment. I chose a CX5 turbo instead and it’s been great. No stupid CVT and drives brilliantly.
I'm sure you didn't drive a Hybrid trim of Rav4. That's much smoother, quieter and quicker than the gas model. And regarding CVT its damn reliable than most automatic transmissions as well, it worn less over time. It's entirely different from traditional CVTs, don't compare. I like Mazda as well but just want to clarify that.
@@Gopinathk17There was not much point test driving the hybrid because it was a 2 year wait time to get a new one. There were a few being sold privately but they were asking over $80,000. I’m old school and prefer the petrol engine with auto transmission. The CX5 thus far has been great.
I bought my Outlander Aspire (Australian) 4 weeks ago after looking at numerous different other SUV's, very pleased with it so far, the tech is fantastic. I also only paid A$45,000 for it on the road with an EOFY deal - very happy
I agree. Mitsubishi is underrated too. We've had 3 in the family since 2014 and we've all liked ours. The reliability overall has been good. Love the long warranties too if things go wrong.
Same here we own 7 Mitsubishis & 2 Toyotas, we love both brands but we do prefer Mitsubishi because it offers more for the money and it’s very reliable.
The Outlander's 24/31 mpg with CVT is surpassed by the Rav4 27/34 with their base model non hybrid engine. This engine also has more horsepower (203 vs 181). So the argument that we need CVT's for better fuel consumption doesn't seem valid.
I got myself The 2022 Mitsubishi SEL trim . after looking at Toyota rav4 and Nissan rouge and yhea Mitsubishi was better price and better looking . and today 2024 I still have and love this SUV Good Job Mitsubishi
We have an outlander awc. The regular model, did not want 20 inch tires for off road in Idaho. Put bf Goodrich trail t/a on. Gets significantly better gas mileage than advertised for highway 33 at 75. 36 at under 70. Town right on. 25000 miles. No problems. 34000 out the door 2022. In California, from Idaho. But go back and forth. Has some options. Watch the dealerships. Try ripping us off in service department. Said needed back brakes and rotors. Lies. I’ve worked on cars and we watch Scotty Kilmer.
the outlander is so underrated.. the mitsubishi crushes the rav4. the rav4 has no tech, no luxury features or anything. idk why people are so dumb and keep buying those rav 4's lol
I had a 22 Outlander SEL SAWC..... it was a great car. Made the mistake of trading on a Dodge Hornet, which is a love hate relationship. It is a fantastic car when its not in the shop. Which has been multiple times for a total of over 30 days in the 5 months I have owned it. Pursuing a buyback under the lemon law. Then I'm going back to the Outlander but will go with the phev this time.
This is a biased review. My 2024 Outlander has Rain sensing wipers. It also has wireless apple car play. Not sure about Android Auto cos I don't use Android in the car.
Both are very good, the nice thing about cars is that there is something for everyone and it is a matter of taste, budget and what you are going to use it for, personally I prefer my Rav4 limited hybrid
I have the 24’ outlander black version and I love it; my friend has a rav 4 with the same specs and both are good. The outlander needs way more power though; hopefully a v6 with an automatic.
Me too. My Gma has a RAV4 but my uncle has the new Outlander, and I prefer the design of the Outlander although the RAV4 is definitely a better financial choice.
How can you tell reliabilty when the Outlander is only 2 years old and MPG? Comparing Gas vs Hybrid. Resale? How much more you will pay with Rav4 when new, you can get an Outlander less than MSRP while RAV4 is 5k$ more than MSRP. How about warranty of 10 year 100k miles.😊
@@wsu610 Reliability - Based on the past reliability history of mitsubishi. Price -- though Toyota is pricey you would still end up with less costs due to least issues, less maintenance, more mpgs and highest resale values. 10 years warranty -- You need it or else you cant be peaceful for Outlander but you don't need that for Toyota as you already know it lasts for more than 10 years easily.
The review is not about Mitsubishi as a whole. Did you watch the review? Did you see the whole line up of Mitsubishi cars or Toyota for that matter? Comparing with Regular vs Hybrid is not fair isn't it? Price is not accurate as well. An XSE hybrid for 36k$? Cmon.
@@Gopinathk17and why would you give 10 year warranty if you are not sure with the cars reliability? Go be a member of both car groups and youll see what im talking about.
Bought a 2022 outlander with tech great value for the money it looks a lot better than the RAV and longer warranty so far after 3 years no issues and the seats are like lounge chairs. Interior on Mitsubishi is definitely a lot more attractive.
This is an informative video that is coming as my wife and I consider our most likely last new car. I’m really impressed with the Mitsubishi overall. I love the warranty, and that it’s the underdog. I also like the many models to choose from. Having owned a 2017 C-Max hybrid and having no issues in 72,000 miles makes me very interested in the PHEV unit. Thanks for giving me new information
Have to remember no one paying msrp for outlander but you are for rav4. Likely large discount. Also reliability kind of a wash with much better warranty. Net buy what you like more.
I have both. My wife has the hybrid RAV-4 ando have the outlander. For city driving the outlander saves way much gas if you charge it every night. But for traveling at highways the RAV 4 will save more gas. If you really want to compare the potency of the outlander you must change the driving mode to e power!! You’ll see the difference !!
Hi there we just bought the Outlander phev in Ontario Canada and you failed to mention that the 2-year maintenance program is only available if you lease not finance second of all rain sensing wipers are available and the heads up display is only available on the top of the line GT model
I lease suv for 3 yrs. So reliability doesn’t matter when you lease. What matters is comfortable ride and better warranties. I am getting my outlander next week.
Long time Toyota owner - chose the Outlander - better interior, better handling, better AWD system, more tech features, better looking and got it below MsRP with EV credit (bought out lease)
Here in Australia, PHEV got fringe benefit tax (FBT) exemption up to April 2025. So, getting a PHEV using Novated Lease WILL cost a lot less than buying a hybrid (they are considered conventional vehicle), even compared with a full EV vehicles. Using the Novated Lease calculator, the cost is almost half for hybrid/conventional vehicles, but just about 5% less against a full EV vehicle. If hybrid cars got a plug-in, it can be considered as a PHEV. Too bad, RAV4 (and most if not all hybrid cars) in Australia does not have that option. For me, the best option at the moment is getting the Mitsubishi Outlander with Novated Lease.
They forget to mention that outlander full Japan made and RAV4 not made in Japan as before Outlander win always and after new design and new technology outlander resale will be very high and very good
amazing & valuable! but why a new comer ) ? I have the 2012 Outlander Sport, love it so far. And I see many of them on the road. I love the Outlander classy interior, the side view exterior of the Rav4 looks better. Both are top choices alongside the Subaru Crosstrek
Something that is underestimated is the stability and Maneuverability . Which RAV4 has a dangerous history in it and normally Mitsubishi receives high scores on that. To those that are interested on this topic, check the Moose test for both. For me RAV4 is disqualified totally because of that
Outlander is not really an underdog. Its not really good in Canada. Many phev owners have trouble starting them in winter. Battery shuts off to protect mode
I have looked at both, both are great looking cars but I loved the XSE Rav 4 exterior/ interior a lot better plus Toyota offers you a Capped service for 5 years. Mitsubishi 10 years warranty is good but the services are very Expensive plus to have 10 years warranty you have to get them to service it. I have ordered an XSE Rav 4 Toyota’s the only bad thing is the 18 month wait for Hybrid RAV4’s.
With it sharing much of its body with the Nissan rogue I could never purchase one due to this. I drove a loaded one my neighbor has to pick up a tv and it had absolutely no power. RAV4 is my pick!
I currently own a 2023 Mitsubishi RVR or Outlander Sport, depending on where you live. I put a deposit a RAV4 Hybrid in May and am still waiting, they're saying that, unless I get a cancellation, it could be as long as March or April 2025 before I get it. No real rush because I have a reliable vehicle but the wait times here in Canada are ridiculous. I agree with those who said the comparison should have been "Outlander to RAV4 gas" or "PHEV to Hybrid" but I guess the similar price criteria wouldn't work. The gas only Mitsubishi is, in my opinion, underpowered by comparison. The reliability is actually slightly better in the Mitsubishi (according to Consumer Reports) and the warrantee is unbeatable but, the acceleration, fuel economy and spare tire of the RAV4 Hybrid was the deciding factor for me. I also don't use the sunroof so it's not a bonus for me to even have one, much less a panoramic sunroof.
I was given a wait time of 6.5 months for rav 4 hybrid xle. Booked in Aug 2024 for 1st March 2025 delivery. Let's see I they deliver on time. (GTA Canada )
I have watched a couple of review videos of the Outlander. In the other one, you mentioned it has 80 cubic square feet of cargo behind the front row but the Mitsubishi site says it only has 64.3 for 2024 vs it did have 80 for 2023. That would also mean the cargo space would be larger on the 2024 Rav4 vs the 2024 Outlander. The piece that doesn't seem to make sense is every other measurement between the 2023 and 2024 is the same, so the only thing that changed was a decrease of cargo space, by 15 cubic square feet. Anyone have any idea where that cargo space would have gone or is the Mitsubishi site just wrong.
A Rav4 Prime vs. the Outlander PHEV would have been a better comparison for those with questions about them. I did my research but was not able to secure a Rav4 Prime; I went with the Outlander PHEV. You won't have to wait years or pay over MSRP for it. Leasing it gets you the tax credit at the time of this writing, but I always recommend test driving and doing your own research.
The Rav 4 has way too much cheap blackout plastic everywhere and looks silly as a result. The Mitsubishi wins on exterior styling. The Outlander also has a nicer interior with more soft touch points like the armrest and door panels. Another plus is 4K off window sticker on the Outlander, something I'm not seeing on the Toyota. It probably would have been better to compare a normal 2.5 gas engine Rav 4 and not a hybrid to better match these 2 up
The only thing that gave the Toyota the win was resale/reliability. I read that and it says to me that I should be a used Outlander PHEV in 2025 or 2026. I'll still get 8 years of warranty and it will be a bargain price.
Only in Mitsubishi can trust my safety ..We have our Lancer 2012 a great car still running good. And having to pick up my RVR SE 2024,..outlander is very big for me alone,..but if you have kids and big family Outlander the best,..❤

Glad that I will buy a fully loaded 2024 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV.
I’m waiting for mine
I just bought mine
I just got mine
Got a black sel premium with grey seats and I love it 🫡 got a lot of discounts with my military/ owning a 2015 outlander sports (gave it to my sister) it was 52k and I got it drop to 47k with all my discounts! It's been 3weeks and I haven't had to put gas in it! I mostly just use it to drive to skool and back!
We had a 2023 Outlander for 41K+ miles (deer totaled it) and were generally happy with it... the lack of a spare tire always made me uneasy, but we had no issues. The techno-gadgetry could be glitchy, and the adaptive cruise wouldn't always kick in, leaving just conventional cruise. Almost any rain above a drizzle would knock out the forward sensors, but we never got less that 30mpg except for very short grocery runs and routinely got over 35mpg, with a couple times over 40mpg -- the CVT transmission was unimpressive, but fine for our use and overall we liked the Outlander very much with the above noted items. It was very comfortable on longer trips (above 1500 miles in 24hrs...)
I used to own2020 CRV EXL, really like that car unfortunately it got stolen a month ago. I live near Philly take a guest who stole my car. I spend 3 weeks looking to buy another car frustrated and confused didn't know which car to buy. Was thinking of buying a used 2022 CRV EXL 9K miles. The Honda dealer wanted $34,124.21 OTD. Today the light bolt in me light up. I made decision on the Mitsubishi outlander. I don't care about resale value. I do care about reliability. But with the warranty from the company it should be good. Thanks guys!
buy a cx5
Didn’t like the RAV. It’s too noisy which is very obvious in your acceleration segment. I chose a CX5 turbo instead and it’s been great. No stupid CVT and drives brilliantly.
I'm sure you didn't drive a Hybrid trim of Rav4. That's much smoother, quieter and quicker than the gas model. And regarding CVT its damn reliable than most automatic transmissions as well, it worn less over time. It's entirely different from traditional CVTs, don't compare. I like Mazda as well but just want to clarify that.
@@Gopinathk17There was not much point test driving the hybrid because it was a 2 year wait time to get a new one. There were a few being sold privately but they were asking over $80,000. I’m old school and prefer the petrol engine with auto transmission. The CX5 thus far has been great.
Cvt for the rav 4 is an ECVT and it only comes on the hybrid models. Gas models have an automatic.
Great video. Thanks for the info
I bought my Outlander Aspire (Australian) 4 weeks ago after looking at numerous different other SUV's, very pleased with it so far, the tech is fantastic.
I also only paid A$45,000 for it on the road with an EOFY deal - very happy
Excellent comparison as per usual!😸
As a Toyota and Mitsubishi Owner, I would definitely choose the Mitsubishi 100% - I owned both brands and still do, Toyota is overrated.
😂
I agree. Mitsubishi is underrated too. We've had 3 in the family since 2014 and we've all liked ours. The reliability overall has been good. Love the long warranties too if things go wrong.
@@palebeachbumDefinitely Mitsubishi is underrated. I don’t get the people who dismiss them easily when they provide extreme value for money.
@@mrgurulittle7000
It’s just a Nissan rogue.
Same here we own 7 Mitsubishis & 2 Toyotas, we love both brands but we do prefer Mitsubishi because it offers more for the money and it’s very reliable.
The outlander has rain sensing windshield wipers
& also has wireless CarPlay just letting you know the SE has it
You can also easily add a spare to the Mitsubishi
I am pretty sure the Outlander SEL has rain sensing wipers. Also has headlight washers
I have a 2024 and can confirm this is true. The rain sensing wipers wipe a tad too slow for me though lol. I manually adjust
The Outlander's 24/31 mpg with CVT is surpassed by the Rav4 27/34 with their base model non hybrid engine. This engine also has more horsepower (203 vs 181). So the argument that we need CVT's for better fuel consumption doesn't seem valid.
I got myself The 2022 Mitsubishi SEL trim . after looking at Toyota rav4 and Nissan rouge and yhea Mitsubishi was better price and better looking . and today 2024 I still have and love this SUV Good Job Mitsubishi
The longer warranty for the Mitsubishi is a strong advantage.
We have an outlander awc. The regular model, did not want 20 inch tires for off road in Idaho. Put bf Goodrich trail t/a on. Gets significantly better gas mileage than advertised for highway 33 at 75. 36 at under 70. Town right on. 25000 miles. No problems. 34000 out the door 2022. In California, from Idaho. But go back and forth. Has some options. Watch the dealerships. Try ripping us off in service department. Said needed back brakes and rotors. Lies. I’ve worked on cars and we watch Scotty Kilmer.
the outlander is so underrated.. the mitsubishi crushes the rav4. the rav4 has no tech, no luxury features or anything. idk why people are so dumb and keep buying those rav 4's lol
Reliability and resale.
@@Jack908r Mitsubishi outlander is on par in terms of reliability it can easily reach 200k miles
I had a 22 Outlander SEL SAWC..... it was a great car. Made the mistake of trading on a Dodge Hornet, which is a love hate relationship. It is a fantastic car when its not in the shop. Which has been multiple times for a total of over 30 days in the 5 months I have owned it. Pursuing a buyback under the lemon law. Then I'm going back to the Outlander but will go with the phev this time.
This is a biased review. My 2024 Outlander has Rain sensing wipers. It also has wireless apple car play. Not sure about Android Auto cos I don't use Android in the car.
Both are very good, the nice thing about cars is that there is something for everyone and it is a matter of taste, budget and what you are going to use it for, personally I prefer my Rav4 limited hybrid
I enjoy your videos very much!
Happy to hear that!
Outlander is amazing! I'm very happy with my PHEV 2023. Definitely the best car i've ever had.
Wish the Outlander had a 3d row delete option with a spare tire. Great review! ❤️✌🏻✌🏻❤️
But you can have both spare tire and 3rd row seat. You just need to buy ones for Nissan Murano, under the 3rd row seat there's a place for spare tire.
Agreed, I’m actually considering taking the third row out myself and fabricating insert hold a spare.
I have the 24’ outlander black version and I love it; my friend has a rav 4 with the same specs and both are good. The outlander needs way more power though; hopefully a v6 with an automatic.
Great video! Thank you!
Glad you liked it!
I’ve got almost 200k miles and counting on my Outlander Sport with just regular maintenance, so the choice is clear for me and my wallet.
Reliability, mpgs and Resale value make RAV4 the winner. But I really liked that interiors of Outlander.
Me too. My Gma has a RAV4 but my uncle has the new Outlander, and I prefer the design of the Outlander although the RAV4 is definitely a better financial choice.
How can you tell reliabilty when the Outlander is only 2 years old and MPG? Comparing Gas vs Hybrid. Resale? How much more you will pay with Rav4 when new, you can get an Outlander less than MSRP while RAV4 is 5k$ more than MSRP. How about warranty of 10 year 100k miles.😊
@@wsu610
Reliability - Based on the past reliability history of mitsubishi.
Price -- though Toyota is pricey you would still end up with less costs due to least issues, less maintenance, more mpgs and highest resale values.
10 years warranty -- You need it or else you cant be peaceful for Outlander but you don't need that for Toyota as you already know it lasts for more than 10 years easily.
The review is not about Mitsubishi as a whole. Did you watch the review? Did you see the whole line up of Mitsubishi cars or Toyota for that matter? Comparing with Regular vs Hybrid is not fair isn't it? Price is not accurate as well. An XSE hybrid for 36k$? Cmon.
@@Gopinathk17and why would you give 10 year warranty if you are not sure with the cars reliability? Go be a member of both car groups and youll see what im talking about.
Bought a 2022 outlander with tech great value for the money it looks a lot better than the RAV and longer warranty so far after 3 years no issues and the seats are like lounge chairs. Interior on Mitsubishi is definitely a lot more attractive.
I have the exact same car, and the outlander has a spare tire under both compartments in the boot.
This is an informative video that is coming as my wife and I consider our most likely last new car.
I’m really impressed with the Mitsubishi overall.
I love the warranty, and that it’s the underdog.
I also like the many models to choose from. Having owned a 2017 C-Max hybrid and having no issues in 72,000 miles makes me very interested in the PHEV unit.
Thanks for giving me new information
Glad it was helpful! Good luck with your decision!
Very Happy with my 2023 Mitsubishi Outlander phev, very nice SUV!!!
Have to remember no one paying msrp for outlander but you are for rav4. Likely large discount. Also reliability kind of a wash with much better warranty. Net buy what you like more.
Nice video!
There is an Outlander PHEV as well
What good is a review of Rav Prime if we can’t get one for two years?
I have both. My wife has the hybrid RAV-4 ando have the outlander. For city driving the outlander saves way much gas if you charge it every night. But for traveling at highways the RAV 4 will save more gas.
If you really want to compare the potency of the outlander you must change the driving mode to e power!! You’ll see the difference !!
Why does the sticker on the mitsubishi windshield say 2022 if this is a 2024 comparison
Hi there we just bought the Outlander phev in Ontario Canada and you failed to mention that the 2-year maintenance program is only available if you lease not finance second of all rain sensing wipers are available and the heads up display is only available on the top of the line GT model
I lease suv for 3 yrs. So reliability doesn’t matter when you lease. What matters is comfortable ride and better warranties. I am getting my outlander next week.
I want to know if 2024 Mitsubishi outlander is a reliable suv. I need to know if cvt transmission is reliable.
My son has 2017 outlander sport 215000 miles on it no problems with it PURCHASED it new
Long time Toyota owner - chose the Outlander - better interior, better handling, better AWD system, more tech features, better looking and got it below MsRP with EV credit (bought out lease)
The Outlander looks so different from anything out there, and the fact you can get one well equipped for under 30K is a big plus.
Here in Australia, PHEV got fringe benefit tax (FBT) exemption up to April 2025. So, getting a PHEV using Novated Lease WILL cost a lot less than buying a hybrid (they are considered conventional vehicle), even compared with a full EV vehicles. Using the Novated Lease calculator, the cost is almost half for hybrid/conventional vehicles, but just about 5% less against a full EV vehicle.
If hybrid cars got a plug-in, it can be considered as a PHEV. Too bad, RAV4 (and most if not all hybrid cars) in Australia does not have that option.
For me, the best option at the moment is getting the Mitsubishi Outlander with Novated Lease.
They forget to mention that outlander full Japan made and RAV4 not made in Japan as before
Outlander win always and after new design and new technology outlander resale will be very high and very good
amazing & valuable!
but why a new comer ) ?
I have the 2012 Outlander Sport, love it so far.
And I see many of them on the road.
I love the Outlander classy interior, the side view exterior of the Rav4 looks better.
Both are top choices alongside the Subaru Crosstrek
Also Mitshubishi don’t overcharge, servicing of easier as less customers
Amazing video, thank you both!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Which has a better Transmission history Toyota or Mitsubishi. I dont like cvt's
Something that is underestimated is the stability and Maneuverability . Which RAV4 has a dangerous history in it and normally Mitsubishi receives high scores on that.
To those that are interested on this topic, check the Moose test for both. For me RAV4 is disqualified totally because of that
I bought 2024 Mitsubishi outlander sel,to my wife she love it 🥰
How come you don’t include the electricity cost with charger installation?
That will vary wildly depending on where you live
A better, fairer comparison would be between the very expensive RAV4 Prime (PHEV) and Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV.
Outlander is not really an underdog. Its not really good in Canada. Many phev owners have trouble starting them in winter. Battery shuts off to protect mode
I have looked at both, both are great looking cars but I loved the XSE Rav 4 exterior/ interior a lot better plus Toyota offers you a Capped service for 5 years. Mitsubishi 10 years warranty is good but the services are very Expensive plus to have 10 years warranty you have to get them to service it. I have ordered an XSE Rav 4 Toyota’s the only bad thing is the 18 month wait for Hybrid RAV4’s.
With it sharing much of its body with the Nissan rogue I could never purchase one due to this. I drove a loaded one my neighbor has to pick up a tv and it had absolutely no power. RAV4 is my pick!
I currently own a 2023 Mitsubishi RVR or Outlander Sport, depending on where you live. I put a deposit a RAV4 Hybrid in May and am still waiting, they're saying that, unless I get a cancellation, it could be as long as March or April 2025 before I get it. No real rush because I have a reliable vehicle but the wait times here in Canada are ridiculous. I agree with those who said the comparison should have been "Outlander to RAV4 gas" or "PHEV to Hybrid" but I guess the similar price criteria wouldn't work. The gas only Mitsubishi is, in my opinion, underpowered by comparison. The reliability is actually slightly better in the Mitsubishi (according to Consumer Reports) and the warrantee is unbeatable but, the acceleration, fuel economy and spare tire of the RAV4 Hybrid was the deciding factor for me. I also don't use the sunroof so it's not a bonus for me to even have one, much less a panoramic sunroof.
I was given a wait time of 6.5 months for rav 4 hybrid xle. Booked in Aug 2024 for 1st March 2025 delivery. Let's see I they deliver on time. (GTA Canada )
It would be good to get the MPG for the plug-in hybrid options for both cars and the extra cost for that option.
I have watched a couple of review videos of the Outlander. In the other one, you mentioned it has 80 cubic square feet of cargo behind the front row but the Mitsubishi site says it only has 64.3 for 2024 vs it did have 80 for 2023. That would also mean the cargo space would be larger on the 2024 Rav4 vs the 2024 Outlander. The piece that doesn't seem to make sense is every other measurement between the 2023 and 2024 is the same, so the only thing that changed was a decrease of cargo space, by 15 cubic square feet. Anyone have any idea where that cargo space would have gone or is the Mitsubishi site just wrong.
A Rav4 Prime vs. the Outlander PHEV would have been a better comparison for those with questions about them. I did my research but was not able to secure a Rav4 Prime; I went with the Outlander PHEV. You won't have to wait years or pay over MSRP for it. Leasing it gets you the tax credit at the time of this writing, but I always recommend test driving and doing your own research.
It completely makes no sense to compare Hybrid with Non-Hybrid vehicle.
We ❤ our new 2025 Outlander PHEV SEL Black Edition!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The mitsy has character and finesse, ive got a 2.3 di-d and its an animal that will go anywhere.
Tell me where to get a 36k$ Rav4 XSE hybrid?
That chime on the RAV4 😂.
'14 Evo x mr fq440&07' outlander LS owner most reliable and barely need to service them and still both outperform everything on the road 😂
Correction, the outlander also has rain sensing wipers
The Rav 4 has way too much cheap blackout plastic everywhere and looks silly as a result. The Mitsubishi wins on exterior styling. The Outlander also has a nicer interior with more soft touch points like the armrest and door panels. Another plus is 4K off window sticker on the Outlander, something I'm not seeing on the Toyota. It probably would have been better to compare a normal 2.5 gas engine Rav 4 and not a hybrid to better match these 2 up
The only thing that gave the Toyota the win was resale/reliability. I read that and it says to me that I should be a used Outlander PHEV in 2025 or 2026. I'll still get 8 years of warranty and it will be a bargain price.
Only in Mitsubishi can trust my safety ..We have our Lancer 2012 a great car still running good. And having to pick up my RVR SE 2024,..outlander is very big for me alone,..but if you have kids and big family Outlander the best,..❤
Wow, as I'm reading the comments below, looks like the Mitsubishi Outlander is the clear winner. I believe majority of people root for the underdog.
I’d take a Mitsubishi over a Toyota any day
I'll bet Mitsubishi sells more ductless mini splits AC's than vehicles.
