This is the Nissan X-Trail Vs Mitsubishi Outlander comparison for 2023. As underbody twins including size and pricing they are the perfect models for our type of comparison. So which one is the better model to buy?

Nissan X-Trail Vs Mitsubishi Outlander exterior: Despite sharing the same platform both look like separately designed models. That is probably because they don’t share and external body panels. We can’t decide which one look better as both care contemporary designs aka ultimately conservative when you view all the different models as we have and the badges are interchangeable.

Nissan X-Trail Vs Mitsubishi Outlander interior: The interior of both models are essentially the same but with different repositioned trims and or colours. Their main touch points like steering wheel,  controls and button do differentiate the two models. We like both and you probably would too.

Nissan X-Trail Vs Mitsubishi Outlander engine and technology:  Both have the same tech packages dependent on which model grade you buy. However the Outlander gets the PHEV version which we think is one of best SUV packages in terms of  fuel economy and this factor alone makes it a winner.

The conclusion and winner to the new Nissan X-Trail Vs Mitsubishi Outlander comparison is the both. While a hybrid is worth a look especially since the X-Trail version lacks the Outlanders plug to charge it is also cheaper. So for those wanting a Hybrid engine rather than a PHEV than the X-Trail is the one to buy. However if you want ultimate flexibility then the Outlander is better in the long run.
