Mitsubishi Outlander 2025 vs Kia Telluride 2025: Full Comparison Guide
Choosing between the 2025 Mitsubishi Outlander and the 2025 Kia Telluride can be a tough call, both are stylish SUVs with a lot to offer. If you’re looking for a vehicle that balances smart performance, family-friendly features, and overall value, let us walk you through why the Outlander might just be the better fit for your life. Here’s how they stack up.
Performance and Efficiency
The 2025 Mitsubishi Outlander is equipped with a 2.5-litre inline-four engine producing 181 horsepower and 181 lb-ft of torque. In contrast, the 2025 Kia Telluride comes with a more powerful 3.8-litre V6 engine that delivers 291 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque. While the Telluride offers more muscle under the hood, that extra power comes at a cost. The Outlander achieves a combined fuel economy of just 8.7 L/100 km, making it one of the more efficient choices in its class. Meanwhile, the Telluride averages around 11.8 L/100 km. So, for everyday driving that balances performance with fuel savings, the Outlander is the smarter, more economical choice.
Cargo Space
Inside the 2025 Outlander, you'll find seating for up to seven passengers and a flexible cargo setup that fits into daily life. With the third-row seats folded down, you get up to 1,831 litres of cargo space, perfect for weekend trips, grocery runs, or sports gear. The Outlander’s cabin features soft-touch materials and available quilted leather-appointed seating for a premium feel. The Kia Telluride offers more cargo space overall, with about 2,455 litres behind the first row, but its larger frame can feel bulky in tight urban areas. For drivers who want comfort, space, and everyday versatility in a manageable size, the Outlander gets the edge.
Interior and Technology
The Outlander’s cabin feels both stylish and intuitive, starting with its standard 8.0-inch touchscreen (or available 9.0-inch) that includes Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. It also comes with convenient features like wireless charging, up to 10 speakers with the available Bose premium sound system, heated front and rear seats, a heated steering wheel, dual-zone climate control, and keyless entry and ignition. The Kia Telluride has its own 12.3-inch touchscreen and offers similar tech perks, but many of its premium options only show up in the top trims. If you want great tech without stretching your budget, the Outlander gives you more from the start.
Safety Features
Safety is a top priority in the 2025 Mitsubishi Outlander. It comes loaded with standard features like Forward Collision Mitigation, Blind Spot Warning, Lane Departure Warning, and Rear Cross Traffic Alert. Plus, you’ll enjoy added confidence with Adaptive Cruise Control and a Multi-View Camera System, even on base trims. The 2025 Kia Telluride includes solid safety features like Lane Keeping Assist and Forward Collision Avoidance, but again, some advanced options are only available on higher models.
