2024 Mitsubishi Outlander Summary

The Mitsubishi Outlander was launched more than two decades ago and through four generations has proven to be a solid performer in Australia’s highly competitive SUV market.

The latest generation arrived in 2021, which includes petrol-only and petrol plug-in hybrid models, competes in the ‘Medium SUV under $60K’ segment where more than 20 rivals fight for buyers.

Toyota’s RAV4 is the current sales leader, but the Outlander is within striking distance and closely hounded by quality rivals including the Nissan X-Trail, Mazda CX-5 and Hyundai Tucson.

To be such a strong seller in such a competitive market means the Outlander must be ticking many boxes with buyers and Mitsubishi wants them to tick even more, with convenience and safety updates for the 2024 model year. We recently tested one of the top-shelf models to see why the Outlander is such a popular choice.

So, if you’re thinking about a Honda HR-V, a Toyota Corolla Cross or something even as large as a Hyundai Tucson or Kia Sportage then you need to be thinking about a Kia Seltos, too.
