Welcome to the new Mitsubishi Outback Vs Toyota RAV4 comparison for 2022. The new RAV4 has been a success story for the company. Full order books and short supply due to the ongoing pandemic and now wars have lead to extended delivery dates and price gouging in the used car yards. Mind you the 6-12 months is almost fair compared to the 3+ years you’ll wait for a new 300 series LandCruiser. The Mitsubishi Outlander does not share this level of demand but it may tempt those not wanting to wait.
Mitsubishi Outback Vs Toyota RAV4 exterior comparison: The RAV4 design is notably different from the other SUVs in the class. It’s got edges and gives a more high rise wagon look due to large plastic cladding but it’s clever design. The Outlander is a nice design but it’s more a catch up with the latest design trends rather than doing something a little different like Toyota. Everyone see the difference and that’s why it sells.
Mitsubishi Outback Vs Toyota RAV4 interior comparison: The interior of the Outlander is nicer place to be in than the RAV4 dependent on model grade. Interestingly Toyota have not gone with a more adventurous interior like it has on other models. This interior is not uniquely a Toyota design and could have been used by any number of brands.
Mitsubishi Outback Vs Toyota RAV4 engines and technology: The Outlander is not class leading in any way in terms of engines, safety or any other tech feature. In comparison the RAV4 has all the latest safety systems and the hybrid engine that has performance and fuel efficiency, again dependent on model grade.
In conclusion and winner to the Mitsubishi Outback Vs Toyota RAV4 comparison is the RAV4. The RAV4 has the tech package that the Outlander currently does not have and along with a size that is not too big and not too small, we can see why it sells. The Outlander as it stands is a catch up model and best described as old tech in a new body which is what Mitsubishi are great at doing and at a decent price but against the RAV4 it’s not enough.
