2025 Mitsubishi RVR vs Outlander: Which SUV Is Right for You?
Are you looking at the 2025 Mitsubishi RVR and Outlander, both SUVs have a lot to offer. The RVR is smaller, easier to handle, and great for city life. The Outlander is bigger, more powerful, and built for families or longer trips. Choosing the right one depends on what you need for your day-to-day driving. Let’s compare them closely to help you decide.
Power, Efficiency, and What Moves You
The RVR comes with two engine choices. The standard 2.0-litre engine gives you 148 horsepower and 145 lb ft of torque. The upgraded 2.4-litre engine offers 168 horsepower and 167 lb-ft of torque. It uses about 8.8 to 9.4 L/100 km depending on the engine and drivetrain. The RVR can tow up to 680 kilograms, which works fine for small trailers or light gear. The Outlander comes with a 2.5-litre engine that delivers 181 horsepower and 181 lb-ft of torque. It also offers a plug-in hybrid version with a combined system output of 248 horsepower. The gas model gives you around 8.9 L/100 km combined, while the PHEV uses only 3.6 L/100 km in electric mode. The Outlander can tow up to 907 kilograms on gas or up to 680 kilograms on the PHEV model. For pure power, fuel savings, and options, the Outlander clearly takes the win.
Room to Stretch and Pack
Inside, the RVR has space for five people and offers 614 litres of cargo space behind the rear seats. Fold the seats down and you get up to 1402 litres. It is comfortable for daily errands or weekend getaways with friends. The Outlander fits up to seven passengers and gives you 949 litres of space behind the second row in the five seat layout. With the rear seats down, the space grows to 1832 litres. That makes it much better for longer trips, more people, or if you pack a lot of gear. When you need space, especially with family or cargo, the Outlander is the stronger pick.
Comfort and Tech That Feels Just Right
The RVR has an 8.0-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, heated front seats, fog lights, keyless entry, and available leather trim. It is simple and clean. Easy to use and nice to look at. The Outlander adds a 12.3-inch digital display, wireless phone charging, wireless smartphone connection, a premium eight speaker Yamaha sound system, and available quilted leather seats. It also gives you more climate control options and a heated steering wheel. If you want more features and comfort, the Outlander stands out. If you prefer something simple and reliable, the RVR holds up well.
Safety and Driving Confidence
The RVR includes seven airbags, forward collision warning, and emergency braking. Higher trims give you blind spot warning and rear cross traffic alert. These features are great for city driving or tight spots in Scarborough. The Outlander adds more advanced help, like adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assist, traffic sign recognition, and 11 airbags. It also comes with Super All Wheel Control, which gives better grip in rain or snow. For safety and control, especially in Ontario’s changing weather, the Outlander wins again.
