Mitsubishi Outlander vs Toyota Highlander Comparison

Discover How the Mitsubishi Outlander Stands Up to the Competition

It's hard to beat the comfort and drivability of a three-row SUV when it comes to transporting your family to work, school, practice, and beyond. At Nielsen Mitsubishi, we know that these spacious, family-friendly vehicles are a favorite for our customers in the greater Denville and Hackettstown area, and we're proud to carry one of the best options around - the new Mitsubishi Outlander SUV.

With all the features that our customers love, the fuel efficiency they need, and the warranty peace of mind they crave, the Outlander has a lot to offer. Best of all, it does it all in combination with the three rows of seating that many families need for day-to-day life.

Mitsubishi Outlander vs. Toyota Highlander

While the Mitsubishi Outlander is the perfect accompaniment for many of our customers' driving needs, we understand that it's not the only three-row SUV that's competing for the attention of New Jersey drivers. There are other options out there that may be vying for your test drive, but the Outlander remains steadfast as a strong contender in many key areas. For example, read on here and learn more about the ways in which our Mitsubishi SUV outshines the similar Toyota Highlander SUV.

Affordability

One of the most appealing things about the Mitsubishi Outlander for busy families is its affordability when compared to other models. As you shop around for a new vehicle, you'll find that many come with large monthly payments and terms attached to them, while Mitsubishi strives to make life easier for families. As such, where the Outlander starts at around $30,000, the Highlander starts significantly higher, at around $36,400.

Standard Safety Equipment

The Mitsubishi Outlander is more adaptable for a wide range of budgets, and it also has more features standard as well. Get more bang for your buck with the Outlander, which has more standard safety features than the Toyota Highlander. Safety is paramount in any family vehicle, and the Outlander comes with blind-spot monitoring, rear-cross traffic alert, a rear seat reminder, parking sensors, and much more. These features are not standard for the Highlander.

Passenger Comfort

In addition to delivering more safety features, the Outlander also has more interior space to stretch out in than the Toyota Highlander. While the Toyota measures longer, coming in around 9 inches longer than the Mitsubishi, their interior dimensions are nearly identical. But there's one area where the Highlander can't compete with our SUV - the backseat. Your passengers will be more comfortable in the Outlander than the Highlander, thanks to more than an inch extra legroom in the Mitsubishi model.

Warranty Plan

With one of the best manufacturer warranty plans in the automotive industry, it's hard for any model to compete with the peace of mind that Mitsubishi offers. Our Outlander models are covered for 10 years or 100,000 miles, while the Toyota Highlander warranty is just 5 years or 60,000 miles.

Fuel Economy

More features, more space, and a better warranty, all for less than the Toyota Highlander. How else could our Mitsubishi Outlander possibly outshine the competition? How about fuel economy? With gas prices at the forefront of many driver's minds these days, it's nice to know that the Mitsubishi Outlander also averages a better fuel economy rating than the Toyota Highlander. In the city, the Outlander gets 24 mpg, with the Highlander averaging 22 mpg. On the highway, the Outlander rates 31 mpg, compared to 29 mpg for the Toyota. Finally, the Mitsubishi Outlander can get up to 27 mpg in combined driving, while the combined driving average for the Toyota is 25 mpg.
