The Outlander SUV is Mitsubishi’s best-selling product. The newly-redesigned 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander, on paper, may be its best product in years (we’re reserving judgment until we get the chance to test drive one, but the design has great potential). All that’s been missing, until now, is a price and some fuel economy numbers.
Here they are.
The Base Outlander ES will start at $25,795, plus a $1,195 destination charge to bring it from its Nagoya, Japan assembly plant. A $1,000 convenience package adds larger, 20-inch wheels and the Mitsubishi Connect smartphone remote service. The latter allows you to control many of the car’s functions from your phone.
The price puts the base Outlander below the entry cost of the Toyota RAV4 but above the base Honda CR-V. We should note, however, that the Outlander offers a third row of seating its two main rivals do not.
A step up to the SE trim will add 20-inch wheels, heated front seats and side mirrors, a leather steering wheel. The trim also includes tech amenities like a larger 9-inch touchscreen, the connect service, parking sensors, and wireless phone charging. It carries an MSRP of $28,845.
At the top of the lineup, the SEL model adds an even larger 12.3-inch touchscreen, leather 4-way power seats, three-zone climate control, and heated rear seats. It asks $31,945. A $2,700 Touring Package adds a premium Bose sound system, a panoramic glass roof, a heads-up display, and semi-aniline leather.
An all-wheel drive system available on any trim level adds $1,800.
With its standard front-wheel drive layout, the 2022 Outlander earns an EPA rating of 24 mpg in the city and 31 mpg on the highway or 27 mpg combined. The all-wheel drive Outlander earns 24 mpg city, 30 mpg highway for 26 mpg combined.
The Outlander carries longer warranty protection than most of its rivals. It’s good for 5 years/60,000 miles bumper-to-bumper, and 10 years/100,000 miles for the drivetrain.
