Used Mitsubishi car buying guide
While Mitsubishi is now focussing more on SUVs and Utes in the Aussie car market, the Japanese automaker is still committed to innovating and crafting comfortable, fuel efficient, quality cars. From spearheading the world’s first Traction Control System to launching the MiTEC modern safety systems, Mitsubishi is still proving itself to be a serious player in the market. So whether you’re looking for a workhorse ute or a family-friendly SUV, you can trust that Mitsubishi can deliver a safe and well-rounded drive.
Which Mitsubishi model is for me?
Mitsubishi has a pretty iconic lineup of cars available, all perfect for zipping around the city or adventuring in the great outdoors. Let’s take a look.
This small SUV combines all the good things you expect from a small car and an SUV. There’s plenty of space for a compact SUV and it comes in either 2WD or AWD. AWD models also include easy switching between drive types for better economy or improved traction. It’s also packed with features like a reverse camera, sensors and cruise control, all great for city driving.
Arguably the most popular Mitsubishi car, the Outlander sits among the ranks of the Kia Sorento and Hyundai Santa Fe as a popular mid-size SUV. The Outlander’s reinforced body, versatile seating configurations, and safety features like adaptive cruise control, blind spot warning, and driver attention alert, all makes it an Aussie family favourite.
The Pajero Sport is best described as a ramped-up version of the Pajero family SUV. It’s designed as a sophisticated off-roader, equipped with a Super Select II AWD system and stylish black accented exteriors on the GSR variant and leather interiors. It’s still an exceptional family car, just one that can drive up anything.
Mitsubishi’s ute offering combines dependable performance, bold styling, and all the latest tech, making the rugged Triton a value-oriented pick in its segment. Like most utes, you can choose from all kinds of variants from dual cab or single cab, transmission type, and tray style.
Are used Mitsubishi cars a safe and reliable pick?
Mitsubishi cars have consistently received 5-star ANCAP ratings across their range for more than a decade now. Their MiTEC system of safety technologies include features like hill start assist, rear cross traffic alert, and multi around monitor, all optimised to protect and guide drivers and keep roads safe. Their used models, particularly the Outlander and Pajero SUVs performed well in terms of safety for drivers, passengers, and others on the road.
Reliability-wise, Canstar Blue has also put Mitsubishi cars within the top five ranks for car reliability. That’s thanks to the high-quality of their parts and engines, and a little bit of that Japanese engineering magic as well.
What are the benefits of buying a used Mitsubishi?
When buying a used car, we all want to find a car that can run smoothly and stay dependable. Fortunately, used Mitsubishi models are remarkably reliable and can go the distance. And their impressive 10-year 200,000 km warranty on many of their models is also quite persuasive there.
New Mitsubishi models are already quite affordable, so you can imagine how much you can save by choosing a pre-loved one. By choosing to go with a used Mitsubishi, you’re more likely to be able to find your models with higher trim levels and extensive features for the same new car budget.
