Used Mitsubishi Outlander: the years to buy and the years to skip
Every Mitsubishi Outlander from 2014 to 2025, across 2 generations: what each year typically sells for (about $9,000 to $31,000), its crash rating, and whether it's a year to target or skip. The best bets are 2014, 2017–2020, 2023–2025. Look harder at or skip 2015–2016, 2022.
2022–2025 Mitsubishi Outlander
A three-row compact SUV that shares its platform with the Nissan Rogue, with a much nicer cabin.
Years to target: 2023–2025. Look harder at or skip: 2022. It has a strong reliability record.
| Year | Typical price | Verdict | Crash rating | Typical miles |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2022 | $23,000 | Look harder | 5 of 5 | ~65,000 |
| 2023 | $24,500 | Target | 5 of 5 | ~55,000 |
| 2024 | $28,000 | Target | 5 of 5 | ~40,000 |
| 2025 | $31,000 | Target | 5 of 5 | ~25,000 |
Worth knowing
- 2022: owner complaints spike (215, mostly the body and structure).
- The third row is very tight and acceleration is modest. Keep up CVT fluid changes, since the transmission is shared with Nissan.
The trim we'd park in our garage
Look for the SE: it adds heated front seats, keyless entry and a larger touchscreen over the ES. Blind-spot monitoring is standard across trims.
On the test drive
Ask whether the CVT fluid has been changed, and feel for shudder or hesitation when pulling away. Get a pre-purchase inspection and a vehicle history report before you buy.
Safety tech
- Automatic emergency braking: standard from the start of this generation (2022).
- Adaptive cruise control: optional from 2022, never standard in this generation.
- Blind-spot monitoring: standard from the start of this generation (2022).

Worth knowing
- 2015: owner complaints spike (234, mostly the transmission).
- 2016: owner complaints spike (171, mostly the transmission).
- The third row is kid-sized, and four-cylinder models with the CVT are slow and noisy. The V6 uses a regular automatic and feels stronger.
The trim we'd park in our garage
Target the SE: it adds a touchscreen, heated front seats and dual-zone climate over the ES. 2016 and newer brought a refresh, with Apple CarPlay from 2018.
On the test drive
Ask whether the CVT fluid has been changed, and feel for shudder or hesitation when pulling away. Get a pre-purchase inspection and a vehicle history report before you buy.
Safety tech
- Automatic emergency braking: optional from 2014, never standard in this generation.
- Adaptive cruise control: optional from 2014, never standard in this generation.
