Have you experienced any reliability issues with your vehicle since you purchased it?
No
Have you had to make any warranty claims?
No
Has your vehicle been serviced at least once since you took ownership?
No
Overall, are you satisfied with your ownership experience so far?
Yes
The vehicle is built well, bodywork & door gaps etc are excellent, the interior is well built, although feels a tad cheap. I most likely would not purchase another one because I am sure there are better vehicles in this category.
Gary’s experience with the 2025 Mitsubishi Outlander ZM
As I said, the vehicle is well finished both in & out. The car looks good on the road & is a nice size.
The Exceed has 5 seats, not seven, which we think is good, as it enables a full-size spare plus extra room in the rear.
The motor is underpowered, and the CVT is ok but not great.
Steering & suspension is still not up to an acceptable standard, even though this current model was released in 2025 and has been re-engineered in Australia for our ordinary roads, that just has not worked well. We owned a 2022 Subaru Outback Touring previously & it handled much better on rough roads at speed.
The tech in the Outlander is very good, navigation is excellent & Mitsubishi Connect app etc works fairly well. Overall, it is a luxury type vehicle, but as I said, there is better out there for similar money. I would not buy another.
