Model years to avoid

Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV

What it says about you

Opinion

A plug-in seven-seater years before anyone else offered one, and Mitsubishi never got credit. You know that.

Not measured, not from the data, and offered in fun. Everything below this is not.

9 model years on record, 41 complaints filed. That is too few to measure against. Every finding on this site compares a year with the same model's other years, and that needs about 40 complaints in a year and 4 years to compare it with. This nameplate has none. So nothing is claimed either way — the recalls and ratings below are the record, and they are the whole record.

Every year

  1. 2026 nothing on record 0 complaints
  2. 2025 1 recall 2 complaints
  3. 2024 1 recall 0 complaints
  4. 2023 2 recalls 1 complaints
  5. 2022 2 recalls 1 complaints
  6. 2021 2 recalls 0 complaints
  7. 2020 2 recalls 0 complaints
  8. 2019 4 recalls 22 complaints
  9. 2018 5 recalls 15 complaints
