Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

For 2020, the MDX carries over without any changes to its appearance, mechanical components, or available features. The lineup continues to offer a gasoline and gas-electric hybrid model as well as a second-row bench that allows up to seven passengers or captain's chairs that seat up to six. However, Acura did increase the base price of the regular MDX and the Sport Hybrid by $100.

Pros
Entertaining to drive—for a three-row crossover, quick and smooth hybrid powertrain, standard driver assists.

Cons
Unremarkable passenger space, quirky touchscreen setup, options inflate the price.

Standard active safety features

CONS

Top trims don’t feel quite as luxurious as we’d expect

Cons

Small gas tank limits overall range

By:

The 2020 Mitsubishi Outlander has enough value, features, and style to make it worth considering, but not to stand out.

Pros
Standard features list
Expanded active safety tech
All-wheel drive available across the range
Exterior styling

Cons
Cheap cabin materials
Anemic base engine
V-6 isn’t much of an upgrade
Cramped third-row seat

By: 
thecarconnection.com

The Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV is a roomy SUV that’s very economical for short journeys if you can plug it in to charge the battery – it’s just a shame it looks a bit drab and doesn’t drive that well

Pros
Cheap to run on short journeys
Quiet around town
Roomy back seats

Cons
Terrible infotainment system
Unsettled on bumpy roads
Drab interior
