I have never owned a Mitsubishi but I drove Mitsubishi Fuso trucks in a previous job. We abused and neglected those trucks like you have no idea! However they just never quit! Those things are indestructible! I was very impressed by that!
Outlander for sure. Rather have a Japanese built car with the 5/60 bumper to bumper and the 100/100 powertrain. I believe the Kia is also the same warranty. I don't need almost 300 hp. I'll save that for my sports cars. The Mitsubishi connect app allows you to remote start the vehicle from your phone with their app, also, you can find your car, roll down the windows, lock the doors, turn on of off the lights and much more. The 3rd row seat on each of them are worth-less. Enough room for a deflated beach ball and unborn child. Just a marketing ploy for both. The Outlander DOES have Blind Spot Monitoring, 360 degree camera, Moving Object Detection, Pre-collision with pedestrian detection, all speed cruise control, Lane departure monitoring w/ lane keep assist, automatic high beams, Rain-sensing wipers, Hand's free power rear hatch, navigation with 7 inch display screen. It also has MY PILOT on the SE and up. This allows you to set cruise and all you have to do is keep a hand lightly on the steering wheel. I have never been a fan of Kia's or Hyundai's. They both make great cars but not my thing.
Have owned 4 Mitsubish's and 5 KIA's and can say unequivocally that the KIA's by far and away performed better, lasted longer and were easier to maintain and service.
Love the Outlander. Got one for me & another one for my wife. Great interior, simple long lasting motors (per Mitsubishi history) and end up saving about 6K-10K with almost all tech features & interior as I compared the Outlander with RAV4, Kia, Mazda, & Hyundai.
Bought the Mitsubishi. Had a rally art 2010. Never broke. Pedal to the metal every day. I like the looks. Power is fine. If I wanted a race car I'd by one. Turbos are expensive and don't last.
Turbos have come a long way since the 1980s/90s…everything does wear out but with regular oil changes most will do just fine to 120k+. If you have any concerns don’t buy a used car with turbos…
@@scizzorhonz7669 This engine has plenty of power as is! There is a sport mode that gives you extra boost and torque. I'm a Porsche owner as well...I would not buy an underpowered car/SUV. Extremely happy with the 2022 Outlander's pick up & handling!
Thanks for the review! Since you asked which one I would pick, I would pick the outlander. It looks so fantastic. Also, mitsubishis are very reliable cars. There is an outlander here in TH-cam with 390,000 miles on it. That's a big win for the mitsubishi
Great comparison with competing vehicles, very informative! I’m going with the Outlander. Styling, technology and price are more important to me than power. That’s not to say power isn’t important - it certainly is. I believe I would be satisfied with the Mitsubishi’s combination of adequate power as well as ride comfort. Being able to accelerate adequately for a lane change to avoid slower drivers, is my subjective viewpoint for power. It’s the long rides I’m equally concerned with. I live in Philadelphia where there is a lot of stop and go traffic. But I occasionally drive up and down the Northeast Corridor - roughly 400-500 miles. The Outlander would be best for both driving environments I feel.
Mitsubishi builds a solid reliable well configured vehicle. This new edition is a perfect evolution of their brand. For the money the Outlander offer huge value, and a nice safe comfortable vehicle. As for the Kia their styling, multitude of features and engine options makes it a strong contender. In the end if it came down to price, feature and reliability I would pick the Outlander. The Sorento has the performance, but that comes at a price that I’m not willing to go as there are many other options I would explore at that price range. Give me the Outlander! Well done Mitsubishi, this is a compelling vehicle to make Mitsubishi a more Household name.
There is not a lot of Canada based automotive reviewers but this one is refreshing and offers really informative reviews. Thank you Sam. Keep going. I am interested in the Sorento myself.
I definitely prefer the new rugged look of the Outlander. Finally it doesn't look like a glorified station wagon! The Kia Sorento 2021 logo will change for 2022, about time too.
Some people even complain about the power that the Subaru BRZ delivers. I used to drive one and its power was more than enough. I'm interested in buying this new outlander and its power would never be a concern. Kids on the internet these days complain about everything.
Thank you for the wonderful video. The Outlander phev is scheduled to be introduced in Japan around December. This new Outlander is also highly evaluated in Japan.
2022 Mitsubishi Outlander: An impressive 86% "quality" and "reliability" rate by "JD POWER" A stunning 47% "resale value" after 5 years of ownership by "CAR EDGE" One of the safest cars on the market with a total of 11 airbags I am definitely buying one. Great job Mitsubishi 👏 👍 👌 🙌 😀
I agree with you, this is exactly the reason I just recently bought an Outlander as well, for the reliability, resale value, safety, gas mileage and price. I love my new SUV, I’m so happy with this purchase.
Kia Sorento for me. Rented a brand new 2021 Outlander last month and didn't like it at all. Felt very sluggish, the steering wheel was so loose that I could easily drive all day with my pinky (maybe a plus for the elderly). Overall just felt very loose and loud engine for no reason. Again, that was for the 2021 version, maybe they massively improved this one.
According to your remarks you are comparing a 2021 Outlander to the 2022 Outlander he is talking about in the video. A completely re-designed vehicle. The 2022 steering is a little heavy in my opinion, If you have it in the ECO or Normal mode it can be a bit sluggish but turn the dial to TARMAC and your off! not a race car but a sporty vehicle.
Just bought my 2022 Outlander GT in Red Diamond over light grey... absolutely 💕 Love it! Rides and performs & looks amazing. Anytime I drive it I get complements on how stunning it is! Nobody compliments me on my 2018 Porsche Cayenne...and that's funny but true! I added all accessories & it rocks...10 Speaker Bose same as my Cayenne but more features. Oh yes just awarded as the top Safety pick of any SUV. Luv it!🙂💕
another thing to consider is long term maintenance and gas, 11.1/8.4L for Sorento and Outlander is 9.7/7.9L wich is huge difference for famillies, road trip and commute, ill take the outlander
First it's not a huge difference. 8.4 to 7.9 it's nothing in real life. if you drive 20,000 km a year it's 80 liter difference. That 100$. So please. And you can get the hybrid sorento if you like to save gas.
Outlander is a little sluggish but style outclasses Kia Sorento . For the price and style u can’t beat it for everyday driving . If u live in the mountains I’d pass to a bigger engine. But outlander is a beautiful car just bought the mid grade model for just under 30k can’t complain hope they build a sport version with a bigger engine in the near future.
You should’ve compared the non turbo charged Sorento so to make it apples to apples as the turbo model will sell less due to being overpriced; the Mitsubishi looks better both inside & out imo.
Japanese cars are much better than Korean cars, more durable and more tolerant of our weather. We are in Iraq, more quality, and more tolerant of the poor fuel we have, and more tolerant of our dusty and desert weather. Japanese cars remain our friend despite the spread of Korean cars in our markets. There is no comparison.
I am owner of sorrento hybrid in Korea. In Canada, no Kia UVO app? In Kia UVO app, it ells u where my car is.. I can turn on heater, air conditioning, window control, remote start. Also you can see around your car with 360 camera.
These two are my top picks right now glad to see them compared. Both look amazing, great technology, and affordable. The style is really stepping up lately.
Im not sure what he's talking about when he says that the outlander doesn't have blindspot monitoring. Mine has monitoring, and lane keep assist. It also has collision avoidance, and automatic braking. It also has some weird traffic sign recognition feature. I'm not even sure what it does yet. Sounds like he just isn't very familiar with the vehicle. He also skipped over mentioning the ride quality, which is probably the outlanders strongest feature besides the interior.
Just purchased the 2022 SEL Touring. WOW! The car was well worth it. Lots of space, rides great, the heads up display is freaking out of this world, the adaptive cruise control is awesome, the tri A/C system is the best for the kids and the large digital screens are advanced. The wireless Apple CarPlay was a bonus for me. And did I mention I am rolling on 20’s! 😂. I mean come on, 20 inch rims HELLO! Cons: The 3rd row is made for 6 year olds (I didn’t need the 3rd row so won’t be using it). The Bose subwoofer is under powered and only the back row can hear it. No spare tire.
Great video. Compelling price on the outlander but as a lover of tech I had to go with the sorento. Wife loves the power passenger seat and lumbar support!
@@skyfallseven365 outlander probably best value in the compact crossover segment but I have a strong aversion to the front grill. I ended up buying the bigger 2022 Pathfinder.
Yes my Outlander has lumbar support power by the way as well as power passenger seat. The heads up display and my piolet just helped it be named top Safety pick of any SUV.
@@lSeKToRl The Pathfinder dash set up is very similar to the Outlander's. I bought the Outlander GT. I understand that the front grill is a deterrent for some. At first I did not like it. I preferred my 2021 the older style...but it grew on me. The Pathfinder is bigger & a great SUV. Congrats & enjoy.👍🙂
Huh? The Outlander has better tech such as wireless Apple CarPlay. Mitsubishi Connect which you can use to control the climate from the app, set speed limit alert to your phone is you allow a teen drive to take the vehicle, etc. It also has power driver and passenger seats. It also has massaging seats. Does Sorento have that?
No, the sorento is a tween vehicle just like the Outlander. The highlander is on the lower end of the midsize segment and the Pathfinder is considered large.
Sorento goes againt Nissan murrano, Ford egde , Honda passport, Toyota venza but venza is all hybrid now so im not sure if Sorento goes against it still
not sure why the hate on the CVT. I never had issue with CVT on Nissan for more than 10 years. I always love the towne car cushion ride. If I want power or the neck bent, get a real sport car.
Checked both at the dealership. In my opinion The kia feels more like a proper suv. You seat higher "on" the car, while in the outlander you seat "inside" the car (lower seating position) i personally preferred the kia
My 2022 kia sorento (new logo) top spec awd diesel is fun to drive. 12 inch entertainment screen, digital cluster and heads up display . Last week it was parked next to an outlander 2022 at a shopping center and at least 10 folks walked to me and asked about sorento. Few commented, wow, its more of a european look..
I bought the Outlander SEL 40th Anniversary...and everything about this vehicle feels premium. The Mitsubishi team did an outstanding job on the Outlander.
I really hope Mitsubishi makes a comeback and especially the EVO heritage with the Lancer and also maybe bring out a 2 door EVO car but overall Kia is miles ahead of Mitsubishi for now
2022 Outlander all the way for sure! I would have to disagree with some negatives mentioned in the video. I have owned a 2015 outlander SE with the SAWC model. I have put so far 110,000 miles on it and 2 things that I needed to change was new tyres at 85,000 miles and brakes at 105,000 miles. I even got tow hitch installed on it and towed a U-haul trailer in a cross country, had no problem at all. It's really a low-maintenance vehicle that comes with standard 3rd-row seats across all models. I really like the new front fascia of the outlander, it reminds me more of a Lexus styling than a palisade. The tail end resembles more like an X5. The superior quality seats and interior along with the design and aesthetic of this new vehicle are really next level, all above in its class. If someone is more interested in a better review of outlander I would highly recommend Raiti's Riders video or review by Everyday reviews for this new 2022 Outlander. I look forward to V6 & PHEV versions being launched by Mitsubishi sooner too!
I agree I had the old style 2020 bought new in 2021. Loved it...but I really feel in love with the 2022. Unique and very trucklike compared to my 2020. The GT I bought is awesome and just rated one of the top Safety Picks of any SUV on the road!
I've owned 3 Mitsubishis since 2006 including 2 Outlander GTs. I agree the new 2022 interior design is leaps ahead of prior models, and Sorento. I am disappointed they chose to use same engine and CVT as Nissan Rogue. The 3.0 L V6 and 6-speed transmission with paddle controls gave control and power and towing option that will be sorely missed.
The Sorento reminds me of Dodge Journey, with that, I’m not a fan of the exterior. The interior, however, Kia has the Mitsubishi beat when screens are compared but I like everything else of the Outlander minus the power put. I guess I’d take the outlander exterior design with the Sorento’s interior and power. I’d pick the outlander though since we can’t mix and match. Mitsubishi has a track history of being tune monsters. Tune this outlander and smoke the competition
If you enjoy power, buy the Mitsu.... it does absolutely suck when you miss the power because you are on the interstate and the motor in your Sorento throws a rod (without warning), leaving you completely stranded on the interstate. Luckily (because of recalls), there is an extended warranty on the motor (not the car) because this is a common Kia/Hyundai issue.
I love the little video that comes up to show the blind spot on my nephews Kia Sportage. KIA was very smart to create/include that feature. I wish my outlander had that.
Mitsubishi to me is similar to Subaru...they make generally good cars but they always manage to shoot themselves in the foot with features that keep them off of my short list. CVTs (both), Subaru's massive, all-encompassing information display, the Outlander's hot steaming mess of a front fascia and Highlander rear end, coupled with anemic engine output, are just a couple of examples.
Your opinion is your opinion but the compliments that I get every day on my Outlander GT beg to differ. I saw it drove it loved it bought it. Just awarded the top Safety pick in SUVs.
So I understand that often you can't control the press cars you get. But this test would only make sense if the turbo sorento were a couple grand more. It's quite a bit more expensive in this configuration. The size comparison is solid though. In the end the Sorento has a major edge with that 13% extra cost tied to it. Both good vehicles.
I sell Kia for living. Had a customer that was comparing the Outlander to the Tellurides, ended up buying the Sorrento SX model the same day. The 2021 Sorrento SX by far is my favorite SUV.
I purchased a used Kia Sorento this past week and love the performance and feel of it. I save by buying used and mine was a rental with all the upgrades for a much smaller sticker price and still a great warranty.
Good review mate. Better than most. Thanks. You dud not tell what two engines were you comparing. Diesel or petrol? Maybe I was not paying attention. But very good review.
The Sorento is larger and costlier, the real comparison would be Outlander vs Sportage, which are closer both in price and size, even if Sportage does not have a 3rd row.
@@BrentB88 NO! The Mitsubishi is actually a "Mitsubishi" that Nissan is bankrolling to keep the slowly dying company alive. Mitsubishi designed, engineered and built. Can you show me one Nissan part in the vehicle?
@@BrentB88 so now it's a Renault with a Mitsu engine. Dude it's the same regurgitated Outlander design for a decade. Mitsubishi has a long history of aligning itself with other manufacturers. (i. e. Chrysler-Daimler).
Do not care about power. Anyway city and highway are pretty regulated so idont see much point. I just press the gas more than some old people and all cars are fine enough... tech is very similar in both cars , space very much too... at the end the sorento look is nice and have cool seats... the outlander is looking good too especially with straight top lone but slightly weird bubly style of the fog lights... still look nice tho. And 8-10k cheaper with better warranty. Overall i think kia and mitshubishi are the best small 7 seaters and mitshubishi is even less expensive so i thing its a good choice
I have never owned a Mitsubishi but I drove Mitsubishi Fuso trucks in a previous job. We abused and neglected those trucks like you have no idea! However they just never quit! Those things are indestructible! I was very impressed by that!
Can't go wrong with Japanese

@@lSeKToRl The Pathfinder dash set up is very similar to the Outlander's. I bought the Outlander GT. I understand that the front grill is a deterrent for some. At first I did not like it. I preferred my 2021 the older style...but it grew on me. The Pathfinder is bigger & a great SUV. Congrats & enjoy.👍🙂
Huh? The Outlander has better tech such as wireless Apple CarPlay. Mitsubishi Connect which you can use to control the climate from the app, set speed limit alert to your phone is you allow a teen drive to take the vehicle, etc. It also has power driver and passenger seats. It also has massaging seats. Does Sorento have that?
I think the direct competitions for Sorento are Pathfinder and Highlander. Outlander is segment smaller
No, the sorento is a tween vehicle just like the Outlander. The highlander is on the lower end of the midsize segment and the Pathfinder is considered large.
The kia that is competing against the pathfinder and highlander is the telluride, not the sorento. The sorento is similar in size to the santa fe
@@gmdruby8220 I suggest you look up sizes and clases of the vehicles.
Sorento goes againt Nissan murrano, Ford egde , Honda passport, Toyota venza but venza is all hybrid now so im not sure if Sorento goes against it still
not sure why the hate on the CVT. I never had issue with CVT on Nissan for more than 10 years. I always love the towne car cushion ride. If I want power or the neck bent, get a real sport car.
I might consider PHEV outlander, assuming it will get more power, lower price and made in Japan.
Hyundai and Kia used to beg Mitsubishi for their engines. How times have changed.
Checked both at the dealership. In my opinion The kia feels more like a proper suv. You seat higher "on" the car, while in the outlander you seat "inside" the car (lower seating position) i personally preferred the kia
The Sorento gets my vote
My 2022 kia sorento (new logo) top spec awd diesel is fun to drive. 12 inch entertainment screen, digital cluster and heads up display . Last week it was parked next to an outlander 2022 at a shopping center and at least 10 folks walked to me and asked about sorento. Few commented, wow, its more of a european look..
I bought the Outlander SEL 40th Anniversary...and everything about this vehicle feels premium.
The Mitsubishi team did an outstanding job on the Outlander.
Beautifully compared the vehicles and awesome presentation. Thanks Sam
That sorento is an easy pick. It’s bad ass in person! Just needs the new logo
I really hope Mitsubishi makes a comeback and especially the EVO heritage with the Lancer and also maybe bring out a 2 door EVO car but overall Kia is miles ahead of Mitsubishi for now
Mitsubishi share holders are clamoring to get them to build the Evo again.
Man Kia breaks down all day
Nice report, I like the Mitsubishi, a reliable car ...
Wait till you get 40k on that Nissan cvt 😂
Outlander ❤️
2022 Outlander all the way for sure! I would have to disagree with some negatives mentioned in the video. I have owned a 2015 outlander SE with the SAWC model. I have put so far 110,000 miles on it and 2 things that I needed to change was new tyres at 85,000 miles and brakes at 105,000 miles. I even got tow hitch installed on it and towed a U-haul trailer in a cross country, had no problem at all. It's really a low-maintenance vehicle that comes with standard 3rd-row seats across all models. I really like the new front fascia of the outlander, it reminds me more of a Lexus styling than a palisade. The tail end resembles more like an X5. The superior quality seats and interior along with the design and aesthetic of this new vehicle are really next level, all above in its class. If someone is more interested in a better review of outlander I would highly recommend Raiti's Riders video or review by Everyday reviews for this new 2022 Outlander. I look forward to V6 & PHEV versions being launched by Mitsubishi sooner too!
The front of the Mitsubishi looks controversial, yet it's kind of growing on me. The side is gorgeous.
I agree I had the old style 2020 bought new in 2021. Loved it...but I really feel in love with the 2022. Unique and very trucklike compared to my 2020. The GT I bought is awesome and just rated one of the top Safety Picks of any SUV on the road!
I've owned 3 Mitsubishis since 2006 including 2 Outlander GTs. I agree the new 2022 interior design is leaps ahead of prior models, and Sorento. I am disappointed they chose to use same engine and CVT as Nissan Rogue. The 3.0 L V6 and 6-speed transmission with paddle controls gave control and power and towing option that will be sorely missed.
I've driven both and the Sorento seems to tick the box for me - the Mitsi is quite compact.
Outlander all the way!!!
The Sorento reminds me of Dodge Journey, with that, I’m not a fan of the exterior. The interior, however, Kia has the Mitsubishi beat when screens are compared but I like everything else of the Outlander minus the power put. I guess I’d take the outlander exterior design with the Sorento’s interior and power. I’d pick the outlander though since we can’t mix and match. Mitsubishi has a track history of being tune monsters. Tune this outlander and smoke the competition
If you enjoy power, buy the Mitsu.... it does absolutely suck when you miss the power because you are on the interstate and the motor in your Sorento throws a rod (without warning), leaving you completely stranded on the interstate. Luckily (because of recalls), there is an extended warranty on the motor (not the car) because this is a common Kia/Hyundai issue.
😂😂😂😂😂
Mitsubishi for life...this is my third generation outlander..
Used to own 3 mitsu.. Very reliable vehicles I would say. Had two evos and a v6 outlander.
Sorento is my vote!
Mitsubishi is the perfect car of Japan the champion
Love the unique look of that Outlander. In a sea of SUV look-alikes, the Outland stands out from the crowd.
Mitsubishi brings history and legacy! No comparison.
Mitsubishi Outlander 😍😍😍😻😻😻
I love the little video that comes up to show the blind spot on my nephews Kia Sportage. KIA was very smart to create/include that feature. I wish my outlander had that.
Mitsubishi to me is similar to Subaru...they make generally good cars but they always manage to shoot themselves in the foot with features that keep them off of my short list. CVTs (both), Subaru's massive, all-encompassing information display, the Outlander's hot steaming mess of a front fascia and Highlander rear end, coupled with anemic engine output, are just a couple of examples.
Your opinion is your opinion but the compliments that I get every day on my Outlander GT beg to differ. I saw it drove it loved it bought it. Just awarded the top Safety pick in SUVs.
@@roby4361 true I saw one and it looks so upscale with a two tone it will literally look like a Maybach GLS.
I mean you get pretty much the same features and but for $10k to $13k cheaper…Outlander all day
Outlander for me any day over the kia
So I understand that often you can't control the press cars you get. But this test would only make sense if the turbo sorento were a couple grand more. It's quite a bit more expensive in this configuration. The size comparison is solid though. In the end the Sorento has a major edge with that 13% extra cost tied to it. Both good vehicles.
Sorento for me
I hate those incredibly cheap looking Sorento vents so much!
but everything else is absolutely perfect.
the music at the beginning is perfect for the Mitsubishi
Thank you
You should compare apple to apple. I mean the 191HP Sorento VS the 181HP Outlander!
I'll go with the new outlander
I sell Kia for living. Had a customer that was comparing the Outlander to the Tellurides, ended up buying the Sorrento SX model the same day. The 2021 Sorrento SX by far is my favorite SUV.
Outlander is really nice!!
I purchased a used Kia Sorento this past week and love the performance and feel of it. I save by buying used and mine was a rental with all the upgrades for a much smaller sticker price and still a great warranty.
Good review mate. Better than most. Thanks. You dud not tell what two engines were you comparing. Diesel or petrol? Maybe I was not paying attention. But very good review.
I like both. But I like the Mitsubishi a little bit more but like the rear of the Kia more.
The Sorento is larger and costlier, the real comparison would be Outlander vs Sportage, which are closer both in price and size, even if Sportage does not have a 3rd row.
KIA Sorrento far superior on every level. KIA will still be here long after Mitsubishi folds it's cards.
And the Mitsubishi is actually a Nissan
@@BrentB88 NO! The Mitsubishi is actually a "Mitsubishi" that Nissan is bankrolling to keep the slowly dying company alive. Mitsubishi designed, engineered and built. Can you show me one Nissan part in the vehicle?
@@hb2088 incorrect. It is based on Nissan Renault platform, the engine and design are Mitsubishis...
@@BrentB88 so now it's a Renault with a Mitsu engine. Dude it's the same regurgitated Outlander design for a decade. Mitsubishi has a long history of aligning itself with other manufacturers. (i. e. Chrysler-Daimler).
@@hb2088 Exactly
Kia all day, better looking,better built and supports us jobs
Do not care about power. Anyway city and highway are pretty regulated so idont see much point. I just press the gas more than some old people and all cars are fine enough... tech is very similar in both cars , space very much too... at the end the sorento look is nice and have cool seats... the outlander is looking good too especially with straight top lone but slightly weird bubly style of the fog lights... still look nice tho. And 8-10k cheaper with better warranty. Overall i think kia and mitshubishi are the best small 7 seaters and mitshubishi is even less expensive so i thing its a good choice
Outlander for me!!!
Outlander looks way better
