Overview & Reviews

The 2010 Mitsubishi Outlander receives its first major update since a redesign three years ago. On the outside, the Outlander has more aggressive styling than its predecessor; changes include new front and rear fascias, hood, fenders and front mesh grille. Inside, there's a new LCD gauge display, real-time traffic for the navigation system and an available "Fuse" hands-free link system that offers audio streaming and voice commands for MP3 players and cell phones. Mechanical changes include a slight power bump for the V6 engine and an upgraded version of the all-wheel-drive system, which is offered only on the new top-of-the-line GT trim level.

• Agile handling, sporty styling, useful rear tailgate/liftgate design, top safety scores, wide range of features, lengthy warranty.

• A few low-grade plastics inside, kid-size third-row seat is flimsy and hard to fold.

  A great value purchase - 2010 Mitsubishi Outlander
  By Vik - September 23 - 7:00 am

  We bought this to replace a 3-series BMW sedan. With a growing, athletic son and two large dogs, we needed to return to having an SUV for toting everyone around. Having previously owned both a Pathfinder and a Highlander, we were familiar with the virtues/vices of both truck- and car- based SUVs. We researched the Outlander thoroughly, and this model is recommended by both Edmunds and Consumer Reports. In fact, this model gets the nod over the 6 cyl, and we agree with that assessment. It is truly a great value purchase: fun to drive, very good technology, comfortable, and highly useful. The vehicle is thoughtfully designed. Yes, they could have used nicer interrior materials.

  Value and Excellent driving manners - 2010 Mitsubishi Outlander
  By khm2010 - July 25 - 3:16 pm

  Purchased V6 XLS with luxury package 3 weeks back. Drives like a car has good cornering, road grip and no rolling effect. Does not feel heavy at all. Fuel mileage is as expected i,e 18/25 in 2WD mode but RAV4 has the best class mileage for V6. Like the contrasting leather, fit & finish. Lot of storage locations. Has a good usable cargo space due to length of the vehicle, but to gain more volume wish they made 3rd row seats optional in this package and body wider. 2nd row seats are the best in terms of configuring. Seats are firm , may lost longer.

  I love my MO! - 2010 Mitsubishi Outlander
  By cp2010 - June 21 - 8:13 am

  I decided to get rid of my truck for something more practical but I didnt want to look like a soccer mom. So I steered clear of the more popular compact suvs and fell in love w/ the Outlander. Its a blast to drive! The sound system is great (6 disc changer was a nice surprise), but the cool new redesigned grill is really what drew me to it. It looks pretty tough going down the road! Ive had it for just over 3 months now and Im more in love every time I jump in the drivers seat. The visibility is really good and its very easy to park. Overall, I am completely satisfied w/ my decision to get an Outlander and I plan to drive it for another 10 years.

  Gotta love it! - 2010 Mitsubishi Outlander
  By Jim - April 4 - 3:13 am

  Weve had our GT now for about 600 miles and love it! We thought about other SUVs but our last one , a 2003 Outlander, was flawless so we thought why beat ourselves up? We love the looks, and driving its a blast. We owned a Subaru WRX before, so we know fun driving! Gas mileage can be fairly decent if you can drive like an old lady. I tried it once and got 27.2 on the cars computer! It just hurt to drive that slow though. Road noise is a minor complaint but the Rockford Fosgate stereo takes care of that.The third row seat is a joke but we dont need it so who cares? Like the drop tailgate too. Theres too many good things to talk about so Ill just say we give it a 9.5-10!

  Finally - 2010 Mitsubishi Outlander
  By michal - December 12 - 12:00 pm

  The car drives more like a nice size sedan than an SUV. Grips the road nicely and takes corners well. Seating takes a little to get use to but once you find your spot and adjust your seat it feels great. Excellaration-just breaking the car in-you get a good response (a little delay) when you hit the gas pedal. Im getting about 24.7 mpg at speeds of about 70 to 75.

  Love Car but dont buy from Nashua - 2010 Mitsubishi Outlander
  By Glenn - June 13 - 8:00 pm

  This SUV has lived up to the good reviews I read before buying. This XLS AWD V6 handles well on the roads and corners with decent acceleration. I love the options with XLS and choose the XLS which includes the option of Leather Heated Front Seats, among other decent options including Satellite. When I negotiated the price of the car, it supposedly came with Satellite which was an option I was looking for. However, after the dealership gave me a short demonstration on how to activate the options of the car, which I verified verbally and was given info from the dealership to activate. I learned it did not. I had to pay for it because it was not on the sales slip. Big Mistake on my part.

  Not a bad car! - 2010 Mitsubishi Outlander
  By Annieb - September 19 - 5:03 am

  This is my first SUV and couldnt decide between the outlander and the Subaru Forester. Very, very close comparison. What put me over was the Outlander actually has better pick up (4 cyl) than the Subaru does. Seats are more comfortable on the Subaru (why do car makers not add lumbar support for all their cars?) The Outlander also has tighter steering which I prefer. Pound for pound, I feel the Outlander is a good car! So far, have not been disappointed. If you are considering a small SUV, dont rule out the Outlander.

  3 Month/2200 Mile Review - 2010 Mitsubishi Outlander
  By fushigi - June 14 - 1:40 am

  Tomorrow marks 90 days of ownership. So far I have no complaints at all. Best MPG: 24.7; worst 17.3; averaging 20 using regular gas. I expect improvement once its fully broken in and the weather warms up (no winter-blend gas). Driving is a simple pleasure. Ive used the paddle shifters for passing power a couple of times; its a nice feature even if it wont be used daily. The audio system is just amazing. The auto-rip of CDs is a great feature though making your own play lists takes a little getting used to. Not sure if I could ever buy another car without a rear backup camera now (can spot small children behind the car easily; essential in my area). S-AWC works great in snow/slush.

  A vehicle to pass down the family - 2010 Mitsubishi Outlander
  By danman117 - March 16 - 5:55 am

  I cant say enough about my outlander. I absolutely love it. Ive put 50K miles on it, done regular maintenance and it drives great!!! This car is truly a bang for your buck and SERIOUSLY underated! On paper it may seem slow, but you must learn how to drive it properly, it will do 0-60 in 7 secs and handles amazingly due to S-AWC. All my friends compliment me on how cool my car is. We use it to cart around the family, commuting, and road trips, its perfect for almost anything. The ride is smooth and comfy, the brakes and steering are great because they give good feedback. MPG is right there with the EPA, 18/25. Car is technologically packed!! The Nav system is worth it when you dig through it
