Compact cross Mitsubishi Outlander is quite popular in the Russian market. He has a fairly affordable cost, and is also a real "Japanese", which is highly valued by domestic motorists.

At the same time, the SUV falls short of the bestseller status, since it has a number of shortcomings that prevent this developer from reaching the reliability level of another Japanese automaker - Toyota. The experts listed all these disadvantages, showing Mitsubishi what the company needs to focus on so that the next generation of the cross is perceived as one of the best models in its segment.
The first drawback of the cross is "no" appearance. Most modern cars are remembered for certain elements of the exterior, but nothing expressive can be distinguished from the Outlander. The "softness" of the body iron and the thinnest layer of the car's paintwork also raise questions from motorists. According to the owners of this model, its body panels can be "crumpled with a finger and scratched with a fingernail." Moreover, the layer of paint and varnish is so thin that any damage is not removed even after polishing.
New version of the cross
The "dullness" of the crossover caused by the variator transmission is the next disadvantage. The dynamics are especially weak in the version with a 2-liter engine and all-wheel drive. Such a variation, loaded as much as possible, cannot please with serious dynamics, and the variator only for some motorists reached 200 thousand kilometers without major repairs.
Excessive noise of the car and the soiling of the interior are also identified by experts as a disadvantage. Despite the fact that the car is a representative of the Japanese car industry, the developer clearly saved on its sound insulation. The same applies to the interior, where the designers used light plastic and glossy panels that scratch and lose their appearance within the first year of operation. Thus, the main disadvantage of the Mitsubishi Outlander is the mismatch between the cost of the cross and the level of buyers' expectations.
