EV Channels Review
The 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander receives a mixed first impression in this episode. While the SEL trim impresses with a significantly upgraded interior featuring nice materials, stitching, and well-made seats, a step up for Mitsubishi likely thanks to its alliance with Nissan. However, the driving dynamics fall short of expectations. The 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine offers only adequate power, and despite a CVT with artificial steps, acceleration lacks punch. The steering is described as disconnected, and the vehicle exhibits a fair amount of body roll, with one reviewer noting the Nissan Rogue, with which it shares underpinnings, feels better to drive. The third-row seating is deemed very tight and difficult for adults to access. The review also touches on Rivian's ambitious charging network plans, questioning the timing given the company hasn't delivered vehicles yet, and discusses the long-term resale value of gas-powered cars and how to assess seat comfort during test drives.
