The Mitsubishi Outlander is a very familiar model to Chinese consumers, and it has entered the Chinese market since the first generation of the model, and has been recognized by many people over the years. However, consumers also generally believe that it has more glitches, and its comprehensive quality is still worse than that of CR-V and RAV4's mainstream players.
 
GAC Mitsubishi did not produce the new Outlander in China until 2016, and compared with the previous imported Outlander, the domestically produced Outlander retains the imported shape design and inherits the Mitsubishi "Dynamic Shield" family design language. Due to the decline in Mitsubishi's brand power, the Outlander after domestic production directly took out the price as a killer feature, the 2.0 front-wheel drive minimum model started at 159,800 yuan, and the 2.4L elite version also dropped to less than 200,000 yuan, which can be called the most competitive price product among compact SUVs.
 
After the domestic Outlander, it is divided into two displacements of 2.0L and 2.4L, two models of 5 and 7 seats, and four configurations, and the appearance is exactly the same as the imported version except for the GAC Mitsubishi logo at the rear. The Outlander 2.4L model is also equipped with a timely four-wheel drive system, with a multi-plate clutch in the center and an open differential on the rear axle.
 
Outlander's suspension tuning level is not high in its class, although it uses a set of soft suspension in the pursuit of comfort, but it is easy to show timidity when walking on potholes or speed bumps, the suspension has more lateral swing, and there is an abnormal sound, which adds some cheapness to its driving quality.
 
The Outlander's space performance is average, and the rear seat cushions are short, resulting in a poor long-term ride. In terms of storage space. The Outlander's performance is in the norm, maintaining the characteristics of many Japanese cars that make good use of space, and with the third row of seats occupied in the seven-seater version, there is still plenty of room for luggage.
 
The Outlander's reliability is not good, according to the statistics of American Consumer Reports, its driving system, air conditioning, body and electronic systems are prone to failure in long-term use, which is also in line with the traditional impression of Chinese consumers that it has "many small faults". The Outlander, which has a certain age, will become a less worry-free car, and to make matters worse, it does not have much market share and after-sales outlets in China.
 
The Outlander's performance in safety is outstanding, and in the IIHS crash test, the Mitsubishi Outlander scored "Excellent" in all basic categories (frontal impact, side impact, roof impact, headrest and seat), placing it in the top safety level (TSP).
