Model Summaries
Mitsubishi Outlander
Used Outlanders hold up well overall and cost about what other midsize SUVs do to repair. The 2021 is the pick, and the 2022 is the year to skip because of hood flutter at speed and sudden shutdowns while driving. Across all years, owners also report liftgates that drop without warning and electrical warning lights that switch off safety features.
Average score: 76/100. Best year: 2021 (84/100). 8 years tracked.
