Mitsubishi Outlander Review: Back and Better?
The Mitsubishi Outlander has returned to the UK market. Our motoring editor reviews whether it’s still a great all-rounder — read the full verdict
After availability suddenly ceased, the Mitsubishi Outlander has returned to the UK market — and there’s a lot riding on this comeback for a model that built a loyal following over previous generations. For buyers across Rutland and Stamford who need something genuinely capable of handling rural roads, towing and the daily school run without compromise, the timing of its return is welcome.
Tough Enough, Practical Enough
Whether the going gets tough, Mitsubishi’s Outlander gets going. It’s a vehicle that manages to be genuinely capable off-road while remaining practical enough for everyday family use — not always an easy balance to strike, and one that has historically set the Outlander apart from more style-focused rivals in the same class.
Seating and Practicality
Most models come with five seats, though the Outlander’s practicality extends further with configurations offering genuine day-to-day seven-seat usability rather than occasional-use extra seating.
A Company Car Consideration
For company car drivers, the Outlander offers an on-board generator option — a genuinely useful feature for anyone needing power on site, and a point of difference from most rivals in the class. It’s the kind of practical detail that won’t show up on a spec sheet comparison but matters enormously to the right buyer.
The Verdict
Overall, this is a great all-rounder that justifies its return to the market. For rural Rutland and Stamford driveways in particular, where a vehicle needs to cope with mud, gravel and the occasional flooded lane as readily as a supermarket car park, the Outlander’s return is good news.
