Hey everybody. Just a quick update on the bonnet/good jitters overseas owners have been reporting. After we filmed this video I held on to the car for a week and did a bit of highway driving and noticed the bonnet jittering at highway speeds (especially when it was windy).
Thanks Paul. This is a big reservation of mine and I don't expect Mitsi have sorted this issue yet. Dealers seem to have radio silence on this, or say the Aussie standards are better than U.S. therefore it shouldn't be a prob
Test drove it the other day and also noticed the bonnet fluttering above 80km/hr. I mentioned this to the salesperson who conveniently didn’t know what i was talking about. Still love the car though and put my order in. I hope they fix it before i get mine at the end of the year!
Purchased base model 2 weeks ago, has most of the features mentioned and absolute pleasure to drive. Plenty of get up and go ,with heaps of space. Great review,thank you.

@@howardwall8743why be so judgemental with your comment considering that the base ES variant does offer a lot for a base model, particularly when it comes to safety features. Perhaps the person who commented did drive a much older vehicle and had to work very hard to save up the $$$$ for the base model. If you can afford to buy one of the more high end variants then good luck to you, but the most popular Outlander variants are the ES and LS.

If we could only afford an ES variant, we'd be just as excited! Be nice. 😬
Congratulations on your child's birth Paul! Also, YES to including child seats in reviews! My kids don't need seats anymore but when we were looking a car, it was something we overlooked. Many times at the shops I would see people with rear facing baby seats that were squished right behind the front seats in little mazda 2's and other small cars. Luckily the Suzuki SX4 sedan we bought had plenty of room for the rear facing seat as well as the pram in the boot. Definitely worth mentioning it for new parents as they're choosing cars with the kids' safety in mind.
I have had an MY17 Outlander for past 5 yrs and never had any major issue s with it,. I did have some low expectations of the new 2022 Outlander after watching your review,,, so I went and test drove one last weekend…and was absolutely blown away by the engines power behind its acceleration and outstanding handling and minimal roll around corners. Was so impressed by the new Outlander MY22, that I brought one 👍🏻

Congrats on your little one! I would like to see car seats in the reviews but love you see prams even more. They are such a big part of family life and knowing if you can fit pram and shopping is super important. Love the reviews even though we still haven’t decided on which 7 seater is for us 😊

This is the first time I've seen Paul NOT testing the third row seats. I mean, by the looks of it, it is probably isn't something I would try as well either HAHA. Good work you're putting out there mate.
You are going to regret. Unless of course you are into underpowered engines and overly soft suspension. I owned a previous model Outlander which was rubbish and it seems the new one is mainly just a cosmetic facelift.
@@TheFieldy107 You're full of shit, I've driven it and it's fine. Tell me why you need a well powered engine if you're driving on typical congested metropolitan roads? So you can exceed the average trip speed of around 45km? 🤣
Looks great... inside and out! We had the 2012 model and never had any issues with it... very reliable! It was a turbo diesel though! Had great torque! Gone for the new sorento now! Congrats on the new addition 👏
Thanks Paul, I finally went and had a look for myself at the dealer and signed up for the Tourer. Should arrive in 10 months but at least the deal is locked in. We need a new category for large medium suv. It seems pretty big to me. It certainly appears to be good value. I may be wrong but the 10 year warranty and capped price servicing seems to better Kia which everyone raves about. Sure it requires dealer servicing but can you blame them. It’s optional and you can take a more standard 5 years if you trust your own mechanic. Each to their own which also applies to the styling - hard to do much to make a big box standout yet that front end certainly does. As for the drivetrain I’m no boy racer so not worried. Comfort seemed fine on the test drive. I’d suggest your viewers go and check it out for themselves.
Hi Paul, firstly congrats on becoming a dad. Best feeling ever! As for a child seat segment, it's a yes from me. I know I'm constantly trying to look at that when looking at car reviews because as a parent it does play a major part in the decision-making process considering you'll have a child seat for quite a number of years. No doubt you'll find yourself looking at that more and more without necessarily noticing, so might as well include that research in your videos. :) Oh, and perhaps also how a car performs on boot space once you have a pram in the back. It's a pain to take all that along when trying out a car, so seeing this in a review is handy when trying to just shortlist a few options in the initial stages. I have an Honda HRV and as an example I find it to be a pain with the child seat. Installation was pretty easy, but getting a child in and out is rather tricky as the roof drops down towards the rear of the car. Because of that I always need to make sure I don't hit our daughter's head on the doorway roof, so I always end up in some weird angle just to get her in and out. I can't lean in with her because my face will smash into the doorway roof, so it's like I need to aim for the seat and dangle her into it. Granted we bought the car before having kids, but just pointing it out as those some examples of what I've experienced and what I'll look out for when viewing a new car. Ease of getting a child in and out, boot space (with pram / accessories), rear vent and USB for charging a tablet (to keep kids entertained on those longer drives) - probably the main considerations.
Hi Paul, we are buying an outlander ES. Thanks for your effort for reviewing the outlander. I have been following you when I lived in NZ. Now living in Bendigo, Vic. 😊
Thanks for another terrific review, and though I have no need for baby seats, I think that they'd still be a great inclusion in your excellent reviews. This review has over 100k views which seems rather spectacular to me. I saw an ooly-dooly version of this in the Westfield Shopping centre in Mernda, and thought that not only did it look better in "person", it also looked quite compact. Loved the interior, but would choose not to buy on your mention that it wasn't well-built inside. Kudos too, for calling-out third-row seats when they are poorly-done - I've often seen you force yourself into them, and see you perched on your coccyx, which can't be good for any adult over a long drive, and I can't recall actually seeing a 7-seat with all seats occupied hurtling along the road. And congratulations on becoming a dad! Spoil your children every chance you get and savour every second you have with them.
Was very excited about this vehicle. I tested today: My driving experience was 6/10. Steering wheel was not smooth at all. Middle of front hood vibrate without noise. Car seems struggling and fuel average was 13L/100km.
Checked with dealer…unlike most rivals in the category.Models from Aspire and above offer “Heads up” Display. Top of the spec is Exceed Tourer which offers Massage seats and exterior dual tone with no extra cost for metallic colours in addition to what exceed offers.Nice review…very useful!!
I have purchased a PHEV ÀWD OUTLANDER and it is an excellent vehicle offering a very peaceful drive supported by great instrumentation and new technology. Value for money in every respect.
Last night we took our 2024 Outlander EV for a ride. and we used the 3rd row to make 7 seats and my son and daughter sat in the back and we all fit. The two in the back were 5' 8" and the rest were adults of average height. we had top adjust all the seats to loose a bit of room but we all drove for an hour with being comfortable. So there you go. it can be done with room to spare.
Love the idea about the baby seat but also the pram. We just purchased a new car because the pram didn’t fit in the boot of our old car and trying to find reviews out there of prams in all these cars was extremely difficult as it would have helped narrow our search so much quicker.
Thanks for the review Paul. I found your review very thorough and detailed. I ordered my outlander exceed in Feb this year hopefully it will be here in December 22. I currently have a 2016 outlander exceed. Looking forward to driving the new one.
Would love to see more on baby/child seats Paul. Particularly how functional it still is with more than one seat. So many cars have no room in the middle if there's two seats in the 2nd row or its impractical to get to the third row if a seat has to go there.
Thx Paul, I have one on order arriving later this month, VRX model in NZ, its the top spec here whihc I think is same as Aus Exeed model, I decided to ditch getting the Haval H6 for this, it blows the H6 away for a little more. My outdated 2020 Xtrail traded in for this beast, cant wait!!!
This new Outlander is so beautiful! I cannot wait to see it come into my country. Hopefully it will. Haha! Im in love with it's new design with great interior design. The dynamic shield pattern on it is sweet!
Great review @paulmaric :) thank you. I have a couple of feedback items: 1. For some cars there would be a decent likelihood that people will tow stuff .. trailer, caravan etc. Some commentary about towing capacity/performance could be useful. 2. Regarding the test of the cup holder, very useful. However doing this test with a reusable cup might be putting forward a better message :) Keep the content coming - it's great!
G'day Paul, Great review as usual. To your question about kids seats, what would be great to know is: 1. How difficult are they to put in, you always end up swapping them around a bit 2. Can you fit 3 car seats and does it work? ie 3 across or 2 in centre row and 1 in 3rd row and still have access 3. ISO or top tether, and which seats include that - can you put iso or top tether in 3rd row. These modern SUVs take the place of family wagons from 15-20 years ago, and these days with a legal requirement that kids be in kids seats until they're 7, it's getting difficult to carry 3 kids without going to something as big and unwieldy as a Kia Carnival. Nothing like trying to park something that is the same external dimensions as a standard parking space, doesn't leave much slack! Thanks!
Agree on all of this. The manufacturers also like to trick you… Santa Fe has no 3rd row top feathers, but Sorento does. Neither has 3rd row airbags. This sort of stuff is important to me. Shout out to babydrive who do cover a lot of this, but I wish all the reviewers were doing it.
Judging from the initial response to the PHEV version in Japan among Japanese reviewers, it could become a serious dark horse as well. Would love to see you review that when that becomes available
Great video as always Paul! I wonder if you could somehow show or talk briefly about the floor carpet in each car you review. It’s always overlooked by 99% of journos but is an important part of the interior of a car. And carpet quality can vary hugely. I’m a car Detailer and it never ceases to amaze me how poor the quality of carpet is in premium cars and top spec models of cars, and it’s getting worse every year it seems. Just a thought mate, I wonder if you could somehow take a few seconds to include the carpet in each car you review
We have the outgoing 2021 Outlander Exceed. This ‘22 is a Massive leap forward for sure. Great look and interior also is hugely impressive. Our 21 vs the 22 exceed for $49? You can see the better value by far. Its outstanding value for money. No Diesel though? Oh well… We use our 21 Exceed off road. Some National Parks, some beach and medium type trails, nothing to serious compared to proper 4WD’s. From what I’ve seen on O/S reviews, if you are looking at light/medium off-road work, the outgoing model maybe the better option. I’m wondering if the S-AWC system is as good as the outgoing model off-road. Great review! So glad Mitsubishi have done a great job with this new model. We love our MY21. Hope the Nissan underpinnings don’t undo the previous models reliability. Nice one Paul 👍🏻
Great review Paul as always. Don’t change the routine. So it’s a very strong no vote from for baby seat segment - or at the very least include it at the very very end of the review
Great video as always Paul and team! As a soon to be new dad as well it would be great to see a segment on baby seats. And getting kids in and out. Cheers
Hey Paul, great video as per usual, would love to see a segment of family cars with rear facing baby seats and in particular the leg room in the front passenger seat due to the rear facing seat.
I regret trading off my 2017 Outlander GT. Decent mileage, plenty of cargo room, 6 speed transmission, paddle shifters, would tow 3500, 5 year BTB and 10 year driver train warranty, and the best AWD system I've ever seen. In the Winter when no one was around, I tried in the snow to get it to slide around corners and couldn't. They don't hold value well and after 2.5 years, decided to trade it while it still retained some.
Love your reviews...I like Aussie car reviews since it's so much "closer" to where I am(South East Asia).Climate closer to what we get here too.Also, I've been to Australia,well Perth,so I'm somewhat familiar with the roads there so I can relate to the driving impression you give on the cars.Keep up the good work mate! 😃
Love your review Paul. A baby seat install then you sitting in the front seat would be great. Both our Qashqai and Hilux have less than ideal legroom in the front once the newborn capsule is installed. Also a pram in the boot is a good visual for boot space. My wife wants a hilux now that the little one is here and I got my new Lux.. Thanks for the reviews!
Bought Aspire Variant S-AWC. Its so, nice to drive. Enough power for my need and plenty of features for the price. Going for awd rather than fwd was best decision, considering how wet the roads has been for past couple of days here in sydney. Best awd system compared to other Suv’s from similar price category.
I just bought an LS in red. Awaiting its arrival next month. Wanted an Aspire but that meant an extra 3 month wait. Will fork out for aftermarket leather trim and 20” wheels I guess.
Amazing reviews love the channel ! Please definitely add car seats and pram scenes I would definitely be interested in seeing that on your car videos. I’m sure a lot of others would too 😊
A lot of buyers bought Mitsubishis as they weren't a Nissan. Will be interesting to see how this one holds up in a couple of years. I suppose you can deal with it as long as the 10 year warranty is maintained. On a trip with a couple of passengers and luggage, wouldn't want to be overtaking too many b-doubles.
@@stendecstretcher5678 He doesn't reply to most general comments apart from a thank you if they complimented him directly or answering a question. Not all about you mate.
@@howardwall8743 lol these cars all have more power than older cars and we all managed years ago so whilst I get it’s good to have grunt no doubt, it’s not really as big of a deal as ya think
Hey mate been watching all your reviews over the years having kids and all. Now having a 3rd in couple months and struggling to find any reviews on vehicles that can actually fit 3 baby seats in with ease. Be good to see all reviews incorporate how many seats can fit and even rear facing and what leg room if any left in front seats 👍
Hi Paul, would love to see your review of the 2022 Outlander PHEV! I wonder if that will be punchier… Also yes would appreciate a car seat & pram in the boot section showing how much space, how easy to put in and whether multiple car seats fit practically. Cheers and keep up your great work!
As an ex Nissan dealer parts dept employee as of august last year with a series 2 t32 st-l 4wd xtrail, we are tyre kicking the new models as we are struggling to see the benefits of the changes. Fly by wire transmission, heavier, also all top specs in the t32 lost 30mm roof clearance to the sun roof, top spec has intrusive features like that lane departure system (customers continuously complaining about it cutting in when trying to see around a slow vehicle before an over take) also as a parts interpreter the top spec with larger rims has and I quote: THE EXACT SAME PART NUMBERS FOR THE SHOCK ABSORBERS AND SPRINGS, as the lower specifications and thus with the larger rims and same suspension tune has a harsher ride and less compliance on rough roads.
1. Everyone seems to be doing the Hyundai headlight. 1a. I wonder how hard it is now to replace a headlight globe/LED 2. Sharing a Nissan platform... Will we see a Triton/Navara soon? 3. Interior is a massive win compared to the outgoing model.
We have a 2022 Tucson company car with a non turbo 2.0L, very underpowered on hills. I think this 2.5 would be much better. Great to watch a video with LITERALLY not being used once 🙌
Really great detail. Some presenters are really biased but you carried the goods and the bads well. I've have 2 outlanders (2018 and 2020) and just bought the MY22 Aspire (I wanted that 12" digital dash. I've seen a bit in the clips that I'll look forward to checking out when mine arrives. Did you mention the paddle shifters or did I miss that point ? Defiantly more fancy that the previous shape, but the also a bigger cost. 10/10 for the review.
A great report Paul. The machine finish on the wheels was well described, another description for the wheel finish could be the brushed-nickel appearance, ofcourse works well with the black. The Mitsubishi/Nissan/Renault alliance has given Mitsubishi a less of a hold on the hardware these cars are made with. This new Outlander, having Nissan frame, Nissan engine and Nissan infotainment system, Nissan/Mitsubishi body design and just a Mitsubishi badge!
Never been a fan of Outlander’s design but I quite like this one. Looks more commanding and noticeable. It was much needed when there are 7 seaters like Santa Fe & Sorrento to compete with. Yes if you can show how a baby seat and a booster seat fits in that would help lot of families. Keep up the great work. Cheers 👍
Awesome vehicle, I think that Mitsubishi works pretty well on the interior and the exterior design in the street looks like differently from any car, for me, remember an exclusive and futuristic car.
Hey Paul while in the market for a new car for the family we found baby seats being the biggest issue. New parents as well and I can’t stand how most cars with a baby seat in the seat infront always needs moving all the way forwards this segment would be awesome :)
We have a baby on the way and love your reviews. My wife and I both watch your reviews together. Would love to know if a pram fits in the boot and how car seats goes in the second row.
Hi Paul, I think the housing of the multimedia screen is Nissan-ish but the system is Mitsubishi's Smartphone-Link Display Audio judging the UI. Great review nonetheless, I'm glad you've already came up with the new Outlander review. Hoping we'd get this here in the Philippines as well and not only the PHEV model.
It is a Nissan infotainment software-wise and hardware-wise with a Mitsubishi skin on it. Same goes for the digital gauges. In fact, the same could be said for the entire vehicle. It is a Nissan X-trail with Mitsubishi skin on.
@@masterchief4519 agreed on the gauges since it is a bit different from the one seen on the Montero Sport GT despite having the same "skin". The headunit is something I'm not really convinced of, having used the SDA multimedia system on the Montero Sport and Mirage G4 several times already and seeing the very same system here on Paul's review(just apart from the GPS Navigation which isn't TomTom surely). But yeah agreed on the powertrain which I think was a bad move for them. Just simply use the 4B12 for the gasoline version and put a 4N14 engine as an added option as well with MMC's own INVECS-III CVT.
@@MiggyMndza Paul did a review on the Nissan Juke infotainment, and button layout and functionality wise, it is exactly the same to this Outlander, only the Outlander has a different look to it. It is very different from the Pajero Sport and ASX except for the look. It is a pretty good infotainment, so not a bad thing.
That plastic moulding on door is a feature I like a lot 14:00(pity it is flimsy on the Mitsubishi). My wife’s CX5 is the same. Keeps the bottom clean as the panel is over the body. Kids that get in and out don’t run against dirt as everything is clean behind this panel
The side profile looks great, the front not so, in my opinion. Also completely agree with you about rear indicator bulbs. This bothered me on the last Outlander too!
I like Mitsubishi very much. I think it is because of great models such as Eclipse, Lancer and mostly Evo. It is terrible they stopped production of these models. I like they make their cars durable and tough. Not easy to brake down. Driving a Mitsubishi gives confidence that you are in a solid vehicle. I own latest Triton and I have my eye on Pajero. I hope partnering with Nissan and Renault doesn't bring a decrease on the Mitsubishi quality.
G'day Paul, new dad here too 🙋 If you are going to incorporate baby seats into the reviews, I'd be particularly keen to see how far forward the front pax seat is required to go to accommodate a rearward facing seat. My wife drives an XV and with the young fella's rear facing seat, front pax legroom is atrocious. The crumple zone is now my knees on the glovebox!
Had my eye & miind set on the Outlander for months... Test drove the outlander with 5 passengers, let down by the engine, felt really bulky and screaming while driving, dropped the plan to buy one now.
@@robertceroli3512 doesn't negate the fact that manufacturers designed them with the capabilities. Hence the name "crossover". Also some owners may not feel like buying the traditional 4wds like dual cab utes and large SUVs like the landcruiser, so crossovers are the next best option.
I bought the top spec in NZ ,the VRX AWD, optional grey leather. I live with a 30 deg driveway, trying to reverse with that transmission is a bloody nightmare ,won't hold on the throttle ,either off or on. The sound system [10 speaker Bose] doesn't have the facility to mix front to back, balance side to side, neither treble or bass. After my BF Fairlane it's just ok, and does it all ,just not exceptional. Yes! the bonnet flutter is very noticeable ,and also dropped the 7 seat rears straight away, don't know any gnomes to fit them.

We need a new category for large medium suv. It seems pretty big to me. It certainly appears to be good value. I may be wrong but the 10 year warranty and capped price servicing seems to better Kia which everyone raves about. Sure it requires dealer servicing but can you blame them. It’s optional and you can take a more standard 5 years if you trust your own mechanic. Each to their own which also applies to the styling - hard to do much to make a big box standout yet that front end certainly does. As for the drivetrain I’m no boy racer so not worried. Comfort seemed fine on the test drive. I’d suggest your viewers go and check it out for themselves.
Great review. I bought one here in Cali and I love it. We got it 3 weeks ago with only 7miles and it now has just over 3000 on it.
Been waiting for this review on the new outlander. And it looks great. Awesome review. Would like to see the baby seat segment soon.
Hi Paul, firstly congrats on becoming a dad. Best feeling ever! As for a child seat segment, it's a yes from me. I know I'm constantly trying to look at that when looking at car reviews because as a parent it does play a major part in the decision-making process considering you'll have a child seat for quite a number of years. No doubt you'll find yourself looking at that more and more without necessarily noticing, so might as well include that research in your videos. :) Oh, and perhaps also how a car performs on boot space once you have a pram in the back. It's a pain to take all that along when trying out a car, so seeing this in a review is handy when trying to just shortlist a few options in the initial stages.
I have an Honda HRV and as an example I find it to be a pain with the child seat. Installation was pretty easy, but getting a child in and out is rather tricky as the roof drops down towards the rear of the car. Because of that I always need to make sure I don't hit our daughter's head on the doorway roof, so I always end up in some weird angle just to get her in and out. I can't lean in with her because my face will smash into the doorway roof, so it's like I need to aim for the seat and dangle her into it.
Granted we bought the car before having kids, but just pointing it out as those some examples of what I've experienced and what I'll look out for when viewing a new car. Ease of getting a child in and out, boot space (with pram / accessories), rear vent and USB for charging a tablet (to keep kids entertained on those longer drives) - probably the main considerations.
Hi Paul, we are buying an outlander ES. Thanks for your effort for reviewing the outlander. I have been following you when I lived in NZ. Now living in Bendigo, Vic. 😊
hi im lookin at this car , are you happy with your purchase no buyers regret at all
I love it actually, well done Mitsubishi for showing their talent
Baby seat test could be a nice addition.
Yeah, good idea
Thanks for another terrific review, and though I have no need for baby seats, I think that they'd still be a great inclusion in your excellent reviews. This review has over 100k views which seems rather spectacular to me. I saw an ooly-dooly version of this in the Westfield Shopping centre in Mernda, and thought that not only did it look better in "person", it also looked quite compact. Loved the interior, but would choose not to buy on your mention that it wasn't well-built inside. Kudos too, for calling-out third-row seats when they are poorly-done - I've often seen you force yourself into them, and see you perched on your coccyx, which can't be good for any adult over a long drive, and I can't recall actually seeing a 7-seat with all seats occupied hurtling along the road. And congratulations on becoming a dad! Spoil your children every chance you get and savour every second you have with them.
I just got one last week and am loving it..a perfect family car and drives and feels amazing..
Was very excited about this vehicle. I tested today: My driving experience was 6/10. Steering wheel was not smooth at all. Middle of front hood vibrate without noise. Car seems struggling and fuel average was 13L/100km.
Yup, gutless wonder and that front end... No thanks. Try a Ford Escape, I think you'll be pleasantly suprised...
Checked with dealer…unlike most rivals in the category.Models from Aspire and above offer “Heads up” Display. Top of the spec is Exceed Tourer which offers Massage seats and exterior dual tone with no extra cost for metallic colours in addition to what exceed offers.Nice review…very useful!!
How dis you get this !! Oh well done ! Finally it's here ! Cant wait to watch , ok I'm watching now !!!
Magic!
The red paint suits that car really well i think i would certainly want that colour if i was to get that car!
yes especially in two-tone paint in black it looks nice
The red is great. You can get two-tone with the Exceed Tourer as well.
I have purchased a PHEV ÀWD OUTLANDER and it is an excellent vehicle offering a very peaceful drive supported by great instrumentation and new technology. Value for money in every respect.
I love your reviews!
This car is THE one!
CVT... well, it is what it is, life goes on. It is still awesome!!
Ur reviews are always relevant. Thanks Paul
Thanks mate!
Last night we took our 2024 Outlander EV for a ride. and we used the 3rd row to make 7 seats and my son and daughter sat in the back and we all fit. The two in the back were 5' 8" and the rest were adults of average height. we had top adjust all the seats to loose a bit of room but we all drove for an hour with being comfortable. So there you go. it can be done with room to spare.
Love the idea about the baby seat but also the pram. We just purchased a new car because the pram didn’t fit in the boot of our old car and trying to find reviews out there of prams in all these cars was extremely difficult as it would have helped narrow our search so much quicker.
Thanks for the review Paul. I found your review very thorough and detailed. I ordered my outlander exceed in Feb this year hopefully it will be here in December 22. I currently have a 2016 outlander exceed. Looking forward to driving the new one.
Would love to see more on baby/child seats Paul. Particularly how functional it still is with more than one seat. So many cars have no room in the middle if there's two seats in the 2nd row or its impractical to get to the third row if a seat has to go there.
Thx Paul, I have one on order arriving later this month, VRX model in NZ, its the top spec here whihc I think is same as Aus Exeed model, I decided to ditch getting the Haval H6 for this, it blows the H6 away for a little more. My outdated 2020 Xtrail traded in for this beast, cant wait!!!
In our outlander, we've achieved 5.6L/100KM with 5 people in the vehicle. It's very fuel efficient so we're happy with it.
Love your reviews Paul. They’re engaging from start to finish. Good job on the dad jokes- keep ‘em coming :-)
I actually saw you driving this car! I was very confused until the video
Yes Paul! Love to see a baby seat segment! Congrats, I am about to be a new dad as well 🙂.
Great idea to put in a section about the babyseats in cars.
I love this car!
This new Outlander is so beautiful! I cannot wait to see it come into my country. Hopefully it will. Haha! Im in love with it's new design with great interior design. The dynamic shield pattern on it is sweet!
Great review @paulmaric :) thank you. I have a couple of feedback items:
1. For some cars there would be a decent likelihood that people will tow stuff .. trailer, caravan etc. Some commentary about towing capacity/performance could be useful.
2. Regarding the test of the cup holder, very useful. However doing this test with a reusable cup might be putting forward a better message :)
Keep the content coming - it's great!
Yup, because the only thing that persudes someone to buy a car is the cup holder...
G'day Paul,
Great review as usual. To your question about kids seats, what would be great to know is:
1. How difficult are they to put in, you always end up swapping them around a bit
2. Can you fit 3 car seats and does it work? ie 3 across or 2 in centre row and 1 in 3rd row and still have access
3. ISO or top tether, and which seats include that - can you put iso or top tether in 3rd row.
These modern SUVs take the place of family wagons from 15-20 years ago, and these days with a legal requirement that kids be in kids seats until they're 7, it's getting difficult to carry 3 kids without going to something as big and unwieldy as a Kia Carnival. Nothing like trying to park something that is the same external dimensions as a standard parking space, doesn't leave much slack!
Thanks!
Agree on all of this.
The manufacturers also like to trick you… Santa Fe has no 3rd row top feathers, but Sorento does. Neither has 3rd row airbags. This sort of stuff is important to me.
Shout out to babydrive who do cover a lot of this, but I wish all the reviewers were doing it.
Judging from the initial response to the PHEV version in Japan among Japanese reviewers, it could become a serious dark horse as well. Would love to see you review that when that becomes available
Great video as always Paul! I wonder if you could somehow show or talk briefly about the floor carpet in each car you review. It’s always overlooked by 99% of journos but is an important part of the interior of a car. And carpet quality can vary hugely. I’m a car Detailer and it never ceases to amaze me how poor the quality of carpet is in premium cars and top spec models of cars, and it’s getting worse every year it seems. Just a thought mate, I wonder if you could somehow take a few seconds to include the carpet in each car you review
front seat upper back pockets are fantastic ideas. great job.
We have the outgoing 2021 Outlander Exceed. This ‘22 is a Massive leap forward for sure. Great look and interior also is hugely impressive. Our 21 vs the 22 exceed for $49? You can see the better value by far. Its outstanding value for money.
No Diesel though? Oh well…
We use our 21 Exceed off road. Some National Parks, some beach and medium type trails, nothing to serious compared to proper 4WD’s. From what I’ve seen on O/S reviews, if you are looking at light/medium off-road work, the outgoing model maybe the better option. I’m wondering if the S-AWC system is as good as the outgoing model off-road.
Great review! So glad Mitsubishi have done a great job with this new model. We love our MY21. Hope the Nissan underpinnings don’t undo the previous models reliability. Nice one Paul 👍🏻
Another great review again.Always enjoy.Thanks a lot.
Great review Paul as always. Don’t change the routine. So it’s a very strong no vote from for baby seat segment - or at the very least include it at the very very end of the review
Great video as always Paul and team! As a soon to be new dad as well it would be great to see a segment on baby seats. And getting kids in and out. Cheers
Always waiting for your new videos update mate. 👍
Hey Paul, great video as per usual, would love to see a segment of family cars with rear facing baby seats and in particular the leg room in the front passenger seat due to the rear facing seat.
This looks the best out of all of them. Looks like a proper mitsu. I lov Mitsubishi and toyota and lexus.
Thanks for adding the baby seats’ portion.
I regret trading off my 2017 Outlander GT. Decent mileage, plenty of cargo room, 6 speed transmission, paddle shifters, would tow 3500, 5 year BTB and 10 year driver train warranty, and the best AWD system I've ever seen. In the Winter when no one was around, I tried in the snow to get it to slide around corners and couldn't. They don't hold value well and after 2.5 years, decided to trade it while it still retained some.
Top review, Paul, as always. Thanks mate.
Love your reviews...I like Aussie car reviews since it's so much "closer" to where I am(South East Asia).Climate closer to what we get here too.Also, I've been to Australia,well Perth,so I'm somewhat familiar with the roads there so I can relate to the driving impression you give on the cars.Keep up the good work mate! 😃
Props to Mitsubishi, this is actually a great looking car, especially inside.
Which is a first for a Mitsubishi SUV
Yep it's a big change from the old one! That's for sure.
Has a very out-there design in terms of the funky front lights, a lot like newer Hyundai and Kia SUV’s these days.
Love your review Paul.
A baby seat install then you sitting in the front seat would be great. Both our Qashqai and Hilux have less than ideal legroom in the front once the newborn capsule is installed.
Also a pram in the boot is a good visual for boot space. My wife wants a hilux now that the little one is here and I got my new Lux..
Thanks for the reviews!
The design is amazing and I would say presently the best looking car out there..
Bought Aspire Variant S-AWC. Its so, nice to drive. Enough power for my need and plenty of features for the price. Going for awd rather than fwd was best decision, considering how wet the roads has been for past couple of days here in sydney. Best awd system compared to other Suv’s from similar price category.
I just bought an LS in red. Awaiting its arrival next month.
Wanted an Aspire but that meant an extra 3 month wait.
Will fork out for aftermarket leather trim and 20” wheels I guess.
Amazing reviews love the channel ! Please definitely add car seats and pram scenes I would definitely be interested in seeing that on your car videos. I’m sure a lot of others would too 😊
A lot of buyers bought Mitsubishis as they weren't a Nissan. Will be interesting to see how this one holds up in a couple of years. I suppose you can deal with it as long as the 10 year warranty is maintained. On a trip with a couple of passengers and luggage, wouldn't want to be overtaking too many b-doubles.
I agree. Notice how the presenter does not reply to anyone including myself who says something alternative to his view.
Yes, like most of these soft roaders these days. All wheezy wet flannels. Good luck over taking.
And that's why I opted for an Escape - 183kW...
@@stendecstretcher5678 He doesn't reply to most general comments apart from a thank you if they complimented him directly or answering a question. Not all about you mate.
@@howardwall8743 lol these cars all have more power than older cars and we all managed years ago so whilst I get it’s good to have grunt no doubt, it’s not really as big of a deal as ya think
Hey mate been watching all your reviews over the years having kids and all. Now having a 3rd in couple months and struggling to find any reviews on vehicles that can actually fit 3 baby seats in with ease.
Be good to see all reviews incorporate how many seats can fit and even rear facing and what leg room if any left in front seats 👍
Hi Paul, would love to see your review of the 2022 Outlander PHEV! I wonder if that will be punchier…
Also yes would appreciate a car seat & pram in the boot section showing how much space, how easy to put in and whether multiple car seats fit practically.
Cheers and keep up your great work!
Hoping to get our hands on one soon!
Thank you for showing the vehicle and how you would use the car in real life. love the trail of car seats
As an ex Nissan dealer parts dept employee as of august last year with a series 2 t32 st-l 4wd xtrail, we are tyre kicking the new models as we are struggling to see the benefits of the changes. Fly by wire transmission, heavier, also all top specs in the t32 lost 30mm roof clearance to the sun roof, top spec has intrusive features like that lane departure system (customers continuously complaining about it cutting in when trying to see around a slow vehicle before an over take) also as a parts interpreter the top spec with larger rims has and I quote: THE EXACT SAME PART NUMBERS FOR THE SHOCK ABSORBERS AND SPRINGS, as the lower specifications and thus with the larger rims and same suspension tune has a harsher ride and less compliance on rough roads.
1. Everyone seems to be doing the Hyundai headlight.
1a. I wonder how hard it is now to replace a headlight globe/LED
2. Sharing a Nissan platform... Will we see a
Triton/Navara soon?
3. Interior is a massive win compared to the outgoing model.
Hyundai got their headlights from the 2014 Jeep Cherokee.
We have a 2022 Tucson company car with a non turbo 2.0L, very underpowered on hills. I think this 2.5 would be much better.
Great to watch a video with LITERALLY not being used once 🙌
The screen isn't laggy. Its just the input detection latency that's high.
Lag happens when you have frame drops
158k subscribers!! Should be way more
Really great detail. Some presenters are really biased but you carried the goods and the bads well. I've have 2 outlanders (2018 and 2020) and just bought the MY22 Aspire (I wanted that 12" digital dash. I've seen a bit in the clips that I'll look forward to checking out when mine arrives. Did you mention the paddle shifters or did I miss that point ? Defiantly more fancy that the previous shape, but the also a bigger cost. 10/10 for the review.
Seen one the other day, had to look twice to see what car is was. Really nice looking car especially at night with the lights design etc
The Aspire AWD seems the model that makes the most sense where you get the most features for less than 47K
Agreed! Doesn’t look cheap ok the outside either.
$47490 driveway?Any discounts in your area?
@@jameschen2942 WTF!! 48 Large for a mixed pedigree mongrel car with nissan DNA .It should be euthanized so as to save the motoring public undue pain
@@johnmarsh2157 Well, Nissan doesn't have 10 year capped price servicing and 10 year warranty. And all new outlander is quite large for mid size suv
Excellent review Paul. AND CONGRATULATIONS ON BECOMING A FATHER.
A great report Paul. The machine finish on the wheels was well described, another description for the wheel finish could be the brushed-nickel appearance, ofcourse works well with the black.
The Mitsubishi/Nissan/Renault alliance has given Mitsubishi a less of a hold on the hardware these cars are made with. This new Outlander, having Nissan frame, Nissan engine and Nissan infotainment system, Nissan/Mitsubishi body design and just a Mitsubishi badge!
Never been a fan of Outlander’s design but I quite like this one. Looks more commanding and noticeable. It was much needed when there are 7 seaters like Santa Fe & Sorrento to compete with. Yes if you can show how a baby seat and a booster seat fits in that would help lot of families. Keep up the great work. Cheers 👍
Awesome vehicle, I think that Mitsubishi works pretty well on the interior and the exterior design in the street looks like differently from any car, for me, remember an exclusive and futuristic car.
Awesome if you mean for Addams Family car.
Hey Paul while in the market for a new car for the family we found baby seats being the biggest issue. New parents as well and I can’t stand how most cars with a baby seat in the seat infront always needs moving all the way forwards this segment would be awesome :)
We have a baby on the way and love your reviews. My wife and I both watch your reviews together. Would love to know if a pram fits in the boot and how car seats goes in the second row.
We used to have the previous model and the boot was huge. Pram fitted perfectly 👍
Hi Paul, I think the housing of the multimedia screen is Nissan-ish but the system is Mitsubishi's Smartphone-Link Display Audio judging the UI. Great review nonetheless, I'm glad you've already came up with the new Outlander review. Hoping we'd get this here in the Philippines as well and not only the PHEV model.
It is a Nissan infotainment software-wise and hardware-wise with a Mitsubishi skin on it. Same goes for the digital gauges. In fact, the same could be said for the entire vehicle. It is a Nissan X-trail with Mitsubishi skin on.
@@masterchief4519 agreed on the gauges since it is a bit different from the one seen on the Montero Sport GT despite having the same "skin". The headunit is something I'm not really convinced of, having used the SDA multimedia system on the Montero Sport and Mirage G4 several times already and seeing the very same system here on Paul's review(just apart from the GPS Navigation which isn't TomTom surely).
But yeah agreed on the powertrain which I think was a bad move for them. Just simply use the 4B12 for the gasoline version and put a 4N14 engine as an added option as well with MMC's own INVECS-III CVT.
@@MiggyMndza Paul did a review on the Nissan Juke infotainment, and button layout and functionality wise, it is exactly the same to this Outlander, only the Outlander has a different look to it. It is very different from the Pajero Sport and ASX except for the look. It is a pretty good infotainment, so not a bad thing.
That plastic moulding on door is a feature I like a lot 14:00(pity it is flimsy on the Mitsubishi). My wife’s CX5 is the same. Keeps the bottom clean as the panel is over the body. Kids that get in and out don’t run against dirt as everything is clean behind this panel
This is how car reviews should look like. Thank you.
The side profile looks great, the front not so, in my opinion. Also completely agree with you about rear indicator bulbs. This bothered me on the last Outlander too!
Please include baby seats into your segments, would love to see how it fits, the access and space you get as well!
Always love your reviews. Yes if you could show how much space for front passenger when you put the baby seat in rear facing....etc
FINALLY AN OUTLANDER
I like Mitsubishi very much. I think it is because of great models such as Eclipse, Lancer and mostly Evo. It is terrible they stopped production of these models. I like they make their cars durable and tough. Not easy to brake down. Driving a Mitsubishi gives confidence that you are in a solid vehicle. I own latest Triton and I have my eye on Pajero. I hope partnering with Nissan and Renault doesn't bring a decrease on the Mitsubishi quality.
G'day Paul, new dad here too 🙋
If you are going to incorporate baby seats into the reviews, I'd be particularly keen to see how far forward the front pax seat is required to go to accommodate a rearward facing seat. My wife drives an XV and with the young fella's rear facing seat, front pax legroom is atrocious. The crumple zone is now my knees on the glovebox!
Had my eye & miind set on the Outlander for months... Test drove the outlander with 5 passengers, let down by the engine, felt really bulky and screaming while driving, dropped the plan to buy one now.
Good review mate think I might look at the new Nissan Pathfinder
diesel option is really needed. and CNG and LPG options. also the ultra high power battery hybrid option.
Would be nice if you tested the off-road capabilities of cars in this class like the Rav4 as well.
Working on doing something soon :-)
@@CarExpertAus I hope you include some sand/beach driving when looking at an extended off road capabilities test.
If you look up the US model which is practically identical there are reviews of it in sand and a few other terrains
95% of owners never take these off road the same as dual cab utes
@@robertceroli3512 doesn't negate the fact that manufacturers designed them with the capabilities. Hence the name "crossover". Also some owners may not feel like buying the traditional 4wds like dual cab utes and large SUVs like the landcruiser, so crossovers are the next best option.
I bought the top spec in NZ ,the VRX AWD, optional grey leather. I live with a 30 deg driveway, trying to reverse with that transmission is a bloody nightmare ,won't hold on the throttle ,either off or on. The sound system [10 speaker Bose] doesn't have the facility to mix front to back, balance side to side, neither treble or bass. After my BF Fairlane it's just ok, and does it all ,just not exceptional. Yes! the bonnet flutter is very noticeable ,and also dropped the 7 seat rears straight away, don't know any gnomes to fit them.
Congrats on bubs Paul!
Comprehensive review thanks! Subscribed too 👍
As always great review! Looking forward to Subaru Forester 2022 review…
Finally someone mentioning about these with turbo wish they did make them with it!
