2018 feels like yesterday, literally. Yet, in just a few years, the automotive market has radically evolved, so much that the compact plug-in hybrid SUV segment has reached maturity. The Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV hit the North American market at the beginning of that very year. And even if the automaker …

Initially set for an early summer launch, the all-new 2023 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV will land in Canada in November. Yes, another delay, but this one isn’t as long as the first generation, which made its debut in 2013 and only touched our shores four years later. It went on to …

Despite a number of revisions for the 2022 model year, the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross is still not sure which group it belongs to. Is it a subcompact SUV, or a compact SUV? And no matter what the answer is, is it any good? We had the opportunity to put the …

This time it’s real. After updating the old Outlander many times but not really making significant changes, Mitsubishi is finally introducing a brand new model. The next-generation 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander is about to land in Canadian showrooms and we at The Car Guide had the opportunity to put it to …

In 2014, the Outlander got its first serious update since 2010. The body was totally redesigned and they added a 2.4-litre four-cylinder engine to the 3.0-litre V6 already on offer. The vehicle’s technical sophistication was stepped up and its safety systems were enhanced. And the new generation finally offered a …

Mitsubishi’s North American line-up is nothing if not heterogeneous. Two compact SUVs (the Outlander and RVR), a rather ordinary sedan and wagon whose base versions become exceptional when called Ralliart or, especially, Evolution. There’s also a little, 100% electric car called the iMiEV. And last week, we attended the launch …

You don’t have to be an automobile expert to know that Mitsubishi does not exactly dominate the North American market. In recent years, the company has significantly reduced the number of models in its line and even though their sales have been slowly climbing, there’s still plenty of room for …

Lunenburg, Nova Scotia. Mea culpa: At first glance of the new Mitsubishi RVR, I thought I was looking at a Toyota Matrix. But no, it was the compact Recreational Vehicle Runner, which Mitsubishi is pitching against the Hyundai Tucson, Kia Sportage and Nissan Juke. The surprising fact here is that …
