Buying Advice

We don't see the real difference in terms of features on the GT trim so we recommend the 2019 Mitsubishi Outlander Plug-in hybrid SEL trim. This has standard features like remote trunk release, remote engine starts, heated front seats and so much more. Add the Protection package ($495) rear bumper step protector, scuff plates, and tailgate protector to keep your SUV clean.
