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 that offers honest, workhorse appeal at a good price. Its main selling point is the plug-in hybrid (PHEV) option, which was unique in the large budget SUV class for many years, delivering very low CO2 emissions and pure electric running for 20-25 miles in real-world driving, with a 2.4-litre petrol engine as backup. The Outlander provides masses of interior space with rear seats that fold easily, and the option of a seven-seat layout on non-hybrid models. A 2018 facelift brought a bigger battery for the PHEV, improved cabin materials, and better infotainment, making it feel closer to newer rivals.

However, the Outlander is underwhelming to drive, with noticeable body movement, a chattery ride in town, and a boomy petrol engine that lacks refinement. The diesel and non-hybrid petrol options face stiff competition from better-engineered rivals like the Skoda Kodiaq, Hyundai Santa Fe, and Nissan X-Trail. The PHEV remains the pick of the range, offering competitive depreciation and lower running costs than diesel alternatives, provided you charge regularly. As a used buy, the Outlander has real merit, though rivals now highlight how dated it feels in terms of infotainment and interior finish.

Best for: Budget-conscious buyers seeking a spacious, practical SUV; company car drivers interested in the PHEV's low running costs; families needing seven-seat flexibility.

Not ideal for: Those prioritising engaging driving dynamics, premium interior finishes, or modern infotainment systems; drivers covering large distances or frequent motorway miles without regular charging access.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Outlander if: You're seeking a spacious, practical SUV on a budget; interested in the PHEV's low running costs as a company car; or need seven-seat flexibility for family use.

Consider alternatives if: You prioritise engaging driving dynamics, premium interior finishes, or modern infotainment systems; or require air conditioning as standard on all trims.

Competitive Position: The Mitsubishi Outlander (2013-2021) is a capable contender in the used large SUV market, offering excellent practicality and space at competitive prices. However, rivals like the Skoda Kodiaq and Hyundai Santa Fe now offer superior driving dynamics, interior quality, and infotainment systems. The Outlander's unique plug-in hybrid option remains compelling for company car drivers and those committed to regular charging, delivering lower running costs than diesel alternatives. As a used buy, it represents genuine value for budget-conscious families, though its dated feel and dull driving experience may deter those seeking a more engaging SUV.
