Used 2014 Mitsubishi Outlander for sale 

For 2014, the Outlander is available in three trims, namely ES, SE, and GT.. All of them are capable of seating 7 people, and each trim differs from the others in different aspects such as price and other features. The differences are mostly aesthetic, with a mix of comfort and drivetrain options.

We Recommend

We would recommend you to go with the SE trim, mostly because it offers all the features that can keep a person comfortable, while you might slightly have to give up on more performance. Going for the top-end trim only makes sense if you are into spirited driving. But, if you really wish for a car to enjoy driving exclusively, you would be better off looking at other cars.

The 2014 Mitsubishi is one such car whose both engines are of different characters to drive. The base engine available with the SUV is a 1.6-liter inline-4 engine capable of churning out 166 hp and 162 lb-ft of torque. For better performance, Mitsubishi has offered a 3.0L V6 as standard with the top of the line GT trim.

The engine pushes out 224 hp and comes with four-wheel drive as standard. The powerful engine is also available as an option with the midrange SE trim for a price of $23,795.

The Outlander isn’t the most powerful car in the lot. With more than 170+hp and torque of around 166 lb-ft, the Journey from Dodge is the most impressive SUV on the block. When comparing the torque figures, again Journey from Dodge leads the race with 166 lb-ft. Despite this lack of power on paper, the Outlander in the real world is faster than the Journey in both 0-60 mph and quarter-mile timings.

The 2014 Outlander does not fail to impress with its fuel efficiency. The lower power output pays off in this regard. If you are looking for a good SUV with average interior space and good fuel efficiency, then the Outlander is the best choice. Buying a car with higher fuel efficiency also means cheaper fuel bills in the long term. The SUV offers 25 mpg in the city, 31 mpg on the highway, and 28 mpg combined.

This time the Outlander does not keep up with some of its rivals in terms of fuel economy. Topping the charts with a favorable 26 mpg in the cities, 35 mpg in the highways, and 30 mpg combined is the Mazda CX-5. The Outlander comes up as the second most efficient among the three. Followed Outlander is the Dodge with comparatively poorer fuel efficiency.

The front seats are more comfortable to be in, while the second row is more spacious in comparison. The third row isn’t the best as it lacks space. The interior has some soft-touch vinyl bits and is much better when compared to its previous generations.

There are many features offered in the interior as well, which makes it possible to offer a good interior experience.

The Mitsubishi Outlander comes with seating for 7, whereas the competition offers seating for just 5. However, when compared for interior dimensions, they are very similar to each other and follow the segment standards very closely. All the cars are fairly spacious and don’t seem to be cramped dimensionally. However, it is worth noting that the Dodge has the most legroom in the first as well as the second row. Some interior features are:

• Automatic climate control
• Steering-wheel-mounted audio
• Keyless Entry
• Cloth Seats
• Additional Rear Seat
• Pass-Through Rear Seat
• 2nd Row Bench Seat
• Bucket Seats

How intuitive is the 2014 Mitsubishi Outlander’s infotainment unit?

The 2014 Outlander does not come with one of the best infotainment units in the market. It is harder to use its navigation system compared with that of its rivals.

Despite this particular hiccup, it gets a 7-inch touch screen along with many optional and standard features to ensure the best infotainment experience. Some of the infotainment features are:

• Rockford Fosgate system
• Navigation system
• Rear-seat DVD player
• Satellite radio & HD Radio
• Bluetooth
• Voice recognition,
• USB port

The Outlander boasts the Mitsubishi branding on its grille in a rather simpler way. This SUV doesn’t exactly follow the usual tough looks of an SUV and looks more beautiful than Macho.

It comes with 16-inch steel wheels as standard along with an 18-inch wheel option in the higher trims. You get the sunroof as an optional feature along with rain-sensing wipers and a bunch of other techs. 

When it comes to width, the Mitsubishi Outlander is the narrowest with 70.9 inches, but the difference with its competition is negligible. Meanwhile, the Journey is the longest SUV length-wise and height-wise, and it also weighs the most. When comparing the ground clearance of the SUVs in the competition, both Mazda and Mitsubishi share the highest figure of 8.5 inches. Some of the key features in the 2014 Mitsubishi Outlander are:

• Rear Defrost
• Privacy Glass
• Tires - Front All-Season
• Tires - Rear All-Season
• Compact Spare Tire
• Tire Pressure Monitoring System
• Steel Wheels

The Mitsubishi Outlander has some really good safety features that make your experience with the car safer and ensure your peace of mind. The reputation of Mitsubishi can’t really be compared to that of its rivals. The Outlander comes loaded with all the standard safety features and some extra features to ensure maximum safety. The car has also performed well in the NHTSA as well as IIHS safety tests and has scored good ratings. Some of these features are:

• Forward collision-warning/mitigation system
• Lane Departure Warning 
• Brake Assist
• Electronic Stability Control
• Child Safety Locks
• Traction Control

The 2014 Mitsubishi Outlander is for those looking for an SUV with average driveability, above-average interiors, and commendable comfort at a good price. The 2014 Outlander doesn’t have the best reliability ratings and is a rarer car, so sourcing the spares might be harder. But the features, above-average performance on offer, and the accompanying fuel efficiency is matched by no other competitors.
