Mitsubishi Outlander 3rd Gen

20142021 · GF · suv

Third-generation Outlander. Engines (US): 2.4L 4B12 I4 (~166hp) standard, 3.0L 6B31 V6 (~224hp) on GT trim through ~2019. CVT on I4, 6-speed automatic on V6. FWD or 4WD/S-AWC. Optional third-row jumpseat. Outlander PHEV (plug-in hybrid) launched in the US for the 2018 model year, first plug-in hybrid SUV sold in the US. Major mid-cycle styling refresh in 2016 added the 'Dynamic Shield' grille.

Watch out: PHEV models had documented high-voltage battery cooling issues. Mitsubishi has issued service campaigns over the years. Check campaign completion by VIN before buying a used PHEV. On gas models, the CVT pattern continues. V6 GT trims with the conventional automatic are the most durable powertrain choice. Otherwise no major chassis scandals.

Full clubhouse — owner Garage Lineage, common problems, year-by-year notes, and product picks — is on the build list.
