If you're looking for a Mitsubishi Outlander, you may be torn between a 2024, or a 2025. We'll be taking a look at both models to see if the new model brings new features, or if you should just stick with the older model for its lower price.
Key takeaways
- The 2025 Outlander is much better than the 2024 Outlander, coming with better features, and for a price that isn't much higher.
- Despite the changes, the Outlander kept the same engine. Thanks to this, you can expect the same great mileage from the year prior, making sure that you don’t have to sacrifice features for fuel economy.
- The 2025 Outlander will come with a much quieter ride over the 2024, making it the better option for a family vehicle.
- If towing is something that may happen, both models are equipped to tow 2,000-pounds, making it a good option for those who want to be prepared.
Are there new features for the 2025 Mitsubishi Outlander? Yes.
For 2025, the Outlander comes with some new features thanks to a refresh. A Yamaha sound system is now included on the standard-features list, upgrading the system from last year. The center console was also rearranged and given additional storage, making it easier to store everything you need.
There were also changes made to the suspension, giving the Outlander a smoother ride from the years prior. They also gave the model even more sound-dampening material, making the ride much quieter in the cabin.
How much is a 2025 Mitsubishi Outlander?
The 2025 Outlander has a starting price of $31,535.
When looking at the 2025 lineup, you can find these 4 trims, at these prices:
- ES starting at $29,645

- ES starting at $28,395
- SE starting at $31,445
- SEL starting at $34,945
- Platinum Edition starting at $40,845
Despite having new features, the 2025 model isn’t too far off in price, especially when looking at the new features that the model comes with.
When looking at some other features that make the price go up, the 2025 model comes with a standard 12.3-inch touchscreen across the lineup, while the 2024 has either 8, or 9-inch screens, depending on trim.
The most recent model also makes the Outlander have the ability to come with a heads-up display, making it even better than the 2024.
Which has better mileage: It’s the same
One thing that didn’t change for 2025 is the engine, and the mileage that comes with it. For 2025, you can find a 2.5L I4, getting you 27 MPG combined for 2WD, and 26 MPG combined for 4WD. The same numbers can be found on the 2024 2WD, and 4WD. Making it easier to get what you want, and not having to settle for one that is better on gas.
Despite this engine being rather small, only producing 181 horsepower, and lb-ft of torque, you can tow up to 2,000-pounds. Making it somewhat capable of getting work done.
Should I buy the 2025 or 2024 Outlander?
We think that the 2025 Outlander is the way to go. Not only does it come with better features, such as a larger infotainment screen, and a quieter ride. It also keeps some of the great features such as good gas mileage from the model before. But if the smaller pricetag appeals to you, the 2024 model is just as gorgeous and maybe you can do without the extras.
While the Outlander keeps on getting better, it’s up to you what you ultimately decide on. If you want to see the differences in person, then come on down to St. Pete Mitsubishi. We’ll show you our stock, and even schedule a test drive for you!
