Come to West Loop Mitsubishi if you seek a new SUV for family life around San Antonio. Get seated in a new Mitsubishi Outlander after seeing how the lineup's largest SUV compares to competing models with three rows of seats. Known for being outside the traditional SUV box, the Outlander is a compact three-row SUV that's almost in a class of its own. To help you make a well-informed decision, we compare the new Mitsubishi Outlander to the competition, including the Kia Sorento and the Volkswagen Tiguan.
Mitsubishi Outlander vs. Volkswagen Tiguan
Although base models for the Volkswagen Tiguan offer seven-passenger seating and a third row, getting all-wheel drive in this configuration is not an option. The Volkswagen Tiguan is available as two- and three-row models, but only the two-row models can be equipped with all-wheel drive. With the Mitsubishi Outlander, you get Super All-Wheel Control 4WD and seven-passenger seating together.
- 4WD vs. AWD: Designed to optimize traction, the 4MOTION® all-wheel drive system for the Volkswagen Tiguan is offered but is not standard. The new Mitsubishi Outlander can be equipped with the brand's signature Super All-Wheel Control (S-AWC) system that embodies the evolution of 4WD technology. S-AWC for the Mitsubishi Outlander can improve handling and stability driving around your Lake Hills neighborhood and assist as you round corners around Castroville.
- Cargo Space: The 65 cubic feet of max cargo volume in the VW Tiguan is comparable to the 64 cubic feet offered when Helotes travelers fold the Mitsubishi Outlander's third row of seats. The VW Tiguan cannot match the Mitsubishi Outlander's extended door frame widths that make loading and unloading more of a breeze. It's easier to load your Mitsubishi Outlander at your Lake Hills supermarket. The new Mitsubishi Outlander also provides customizable space so you can organize your cargo for the occasion.
- Seating: A 7-passenger layout is standard, but most VW Tiguan configurations have room for only five passengers. The Mitsubishi Outlander appeals to Pleasanton families who need room for seven passengers.
- Fuel Economy: The Mitsubishi Outlander is rated for 27 miles per gallon combined, topping the VW Tiguan by two miles per gallon. Highway fuel economy tops out at 29 miles per gallon for the VW Tiguan. As you take the Connally Loop around San Antonio, TX with your Mitsubishi Outlander, the SUV will earn 31 highway miles per gallon.
- Pricing: Starting at $28,395, the Mitsubishi Outlander has a lower price than the VW Tiguan at $28,880.
Mitsubishi Outlander vs. Kia Sorento
- Fuel Economy: The Kia Sorento can earn up to 31 miles per gallon, but its city rating is 23 miles per gallon. The Mitsubishi Outlander is one of the most fuel-efficient SUVs in its class, earning 24 city miles per gallon and 31 highway miles per gallon taking US-90 back to Castroville. The Mitsubishi Outlander uses an electrically operated valve timing control system, cooled exhaust gas recirculation, and mirror bore coating to balance fuel economy and acceleration performance.
- Performance: Each three-row SUV delivers 181 pound-feet of torque through a 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine. To get a Kia Sorento with AWD, you have to jump up to the fourth trim — a pricey option. SUV buyers from Helotes can add Super All-Wheel Control (S-AWC) to their Mitsubishi Outlander for much less.
- Technology: The base instrument display for the Kia Sorento spans only four inches, and the upgraded 12.3-inch curved instrument display comes with a trim costing $41,690. The 12.3-inch Digital Driver Display for the new Mitsubishi Outlander checks in on the SEL model, which starts at a far more affordable $34,945. This intuitive feature in the Mitsubishi Outlander lets you customize information put directly in front of you, and the details can even be animated.
- Pricing: If price matters to Pleasanton families, they'll prefer the new Mitsubishi Outlander, which starts at $28,395. The Kia Sorento starts at $31,990 and jumps considerably by trim, with the range rounding out at $47,390. Premium-packed Platinum Edition models for the Outlander start at $40,845 and make this three-row Mitsubishi SUV near Lake Hills a better value buy.
