Mitsubishi Outlander (2013-2021) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Pioneering plug-in hybrid promises low running costs for the right buyer	Dated infotainment and interior finish
Choice of five or seven seats if you don't buy the hybrid	Early PHEVs have a smaller battery than post-2019 cars
Plenty of room for passengers and their luggage	Dull to drive

Quick Summary

The Mitsubishi Outlander (2013-2021) is a durable and practical SUV offering honest, workhorse credentials at a competitive price. Its main selling point is the plug-in hybrid (PHEV) variant, which uniquely combined big-SUV versatility with low CO2 emissions and pure electric running for 20-25 miles in real-world driving. The 2.4-litre petrol engine provides backup for longer journeys. A 2018 facelift brought a larger battery for PHEV models, improved cabin materials, and better infotainment, making it feel closer to newer rivals. The Outlander offers masses of interior space with rear seats that fold easily, and a seven-seat layout option on non-hybrid models, though the third row is best suited to children.

The PHEV remains the pick of the range, offering VED-free motoring and exemption from the London Congestion Charge until late 2021. However, rivals have now caught up, with newer plug-in hybrid SUVs like the Ford Kuga and Volkswagen Tiguan entering similar price brackets. The diesel variant faces stiff competition from the Hyundai Santa Fe, Kia Sorento, and Skoda Kodiaq, which offer better driving dynamics and interior refinement. As a used buy, the Outlander has real merit, particularly the PHEV for those who charge regularly, though fuel economy benefits diminish on long motorway journeys. Mitsubishi officially ceased UK sales in 2021, but aftersales service continues normally.

Best for: Budget-conscious buyers seeking a practical, spacious SUV; company car drivers valuing the PHEV's low running costs; families needing flexible seating options.

Not ideal for: Those prioritising premium interior finish or engaging driving dynamics; buyers covering large distances or frequent motorway miles; those seeking the latest infotainment technology.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Outlander if: You're seeking a practical, spacious SUV on a budget; you value the PHEV's low running costs and are willing to charge regularly; you need flexible seating options for families.

Consider alternatives if: You prioritise premium interior finish, engaging driving dynamics, or the latest infotainment technology; you cover large distances or frequent motorway miles.

Competitive Position: The Mitsubishi Outlander (2013-2021) remains a compelling used buy, particularly the PHEV variant, which still offers a unique combination of space and low running costs. However, rivals have caught up significantly. The Hyundai Santa Fe and Skoda Kodiaq offer superior driving dynamics and interior refinement, whilst newer plug-in hybrid SUVs provide more modern technology. The Outlander's dated infotainment and cabin materials now feel less competitive, though its practicality, generous space, and affordable pricing maintain its appeal for budget-conscious buyers. As a company car, the PHEV still makes financial sense, but depreciation concerns following Mitsubishi's uncertain UK market future warrant consideration.
