 What is up you guys welcome back to another one if you are new to the channel I am Gold Pony I do new car truck SUV reviews on YouTube and today we are in the new 2022 Misabishi Outlander courtesy of Platinum Misabishi in Mechanicsburg PA for more information on their inventory please feel free to check out the link in the description box below and so this is Misabishi's three row SUV it's been completely redesigned both on the exterior and the interior for the better let me tell you guys and of course to go along with that you have America's Best Warranty with Misabishi as well being 5 year 60,000 mile bumper to bumper 10 year 100,000 miles on the powertrain which is amazing and so in this video I will be testing out and going over everything about this one acceleration braking steering feel ride quality sound system exhaust clip and everything else so having said all of that what do you guys say let's just go ahead and jump right into it and as always let's start with pricing so as you can imagine there are several different trim levels for the 2022 Outlander first one being the ES starting at $25,795 SE for $28,845 SE L for $31,945 SE launch edition which is the one we have today starting at $29,995 and lastly the SE L launch edition starting at $35,345 and so that was all pricing for the front-wheel drive you can add all-wheel drive by simply adding $1,800 to any of those prices and so regardless of trim level that you go with power plant on the new Outlander will be the same powering this one is a 2.5 liter direct injected inline 4-cylinder if that sounds familiar to you yes it is the same engine you can now find in the new Nissan Rogue in case anybody was curious but power comes in at 181 horsepower at 6,000 rpm 181 pound feet of torque coming in at 3,600 rpm power sent to front wheels or all-wheels through a CBT with paddle shifters which guys know we will be testing out a little bit although it is a CBT we're still testing it out but MPG numbers coming in at approximately 24 in the city 31 then on the highway but then before we do any kind of paddle shifter test or acceleration test here in our Outlander do when I mentioned there is a circular dial located directly behind the shifter that is going to be for your drive modes of course drive modes will include tarmac gravel snow normal and eco and if you were to go with the misubishi all-wheel controller the four-wheel drive on this thing will also get a mud mode then as well which is pretty cool but nonetheless they will adjust things like the shift points the thought of response traction control things like that so having said all of that now what do you guys say let's go ahead and find a straightaway let's just do a quick little paddle shifter test and kind of curious since this is a CBT it is going to kind of be simulated shifting of course but I do want to see if they react quickly for us and make sure the vehicle doesn't shift for us as well all right here comes the paddle shifter test on our straightaway in three two one oh it shifted dang it there we go it still feels like a CVT I will say that I like the simulated gears it's kind of cool but you can definitely tell it's most definitely still a CVT unfortunately that might be one of my few criticisms of this car just not a huge fan of CVT's it kind of takes a lot of the emotion out of driving this thing but nonetheless let's go ahead and give back full control to the outlander here find yet another straightaway and let's test out the acceleration let's see how quickly we can get this one here up to speed all right and here's a straightaway in three two one go all right it's definitely not the quickest thing in the world but that's okay who's really gonna be racing an outlander anyways but yeah it'll get the job done but like I said definitely not the quickest thing in the world but you go along with that acceleration as always braking is equally important so upfront you will find 13.8 inch ventilated front discs in the back 13 inch solid rear discs as far as the braking feel goes it's actually really nice I haven't had any issues with the braking feel so far my test drive today definitely not a super spongy brake feel as you sometimes do find in SUV so I don't mind it and touching on suspension and handling upfront you're gonna get an independent strut type front suspension in the back independent multi-link rear suspension as far as ride quality goes it's been perfectly fine I actually haven't any issues with ride quality when it comes to the outlander I would definitely say it's much better than the previous outlander I had tested so absolutely no issues with ride quality whatsoever I'm kind of impressed there as far as cabin noise goes at higher speeds you get a little bit of wind noise but other than that it's really not that bad it's pretty quiet you guys could probably tell I am driving right now there isn't a whole lot of exterior wind noise coming into the cabin so well done once again miss a bishy for that and as far as steering feel goes is I would sit on the looser side but it is to be expected with SUVs but it's really not bad it's pretty much what you would expect for really any three-row SUV out there I should put it that way but anyways touching on visibility I can see perfectly fine out the back so 100% no issues there whatsoever and it did what I also mentioned if you were to go with that SEL launch addition trim level you will actually also get a head up display projecting your speed and the speed limit onto your windshield so a little better visibility there as well but that about rounds out the performance segment of this review you guys let's now go ahead and take a look at the exterior are completely redesigned 2022 miss a bishy outlander alright so here she is you guys the new 2022 miss a bishy outlander finished in mercury gray metallic in case anybody was curious of our exterior color name here but let's go ahead and start up front again this one has been completely redesigned inside and out for the 2022 outlander up front you will find LED headlights with the automatic feature meaning when it starts to get dark at night those headlights will turn on automatically for you there LED daytime running lights also coming standard on this one LED fog lights you guys can see those down below they will come on the S E trim level enough if you're curious about that and of course surrounding those headlights and really all of the lighting you're gonna find some chrome accents as well which definitely look very good up front you have some matte gray design towards the bottom portion of that front bumper to which definitely looks good and I love how they spelled out outlander horizontally on the front of the hood there to anyways definitely looks like a very upscale design so I'm a huge fan of the new front end here of that outlander but now let's go ahead and make our way to the side of this one right so now making our way to the side silver roof rails coming with the SEL launch edition rear privacy glasses going to come standard across the board you guys to see there's some crow belt line molding on the outlander here as well which leads its way into the very back with that floating roof line also looks very good back there when it comes to this side mirrors they are body colored power adjustable side mirrors they will be heated for the S E trim level and up and you will get some integrated turd signals you guys could probably see those as well definitely looks good didn't also mention though for the SEL launch edition you're actually going to get ground logo illumination so it's going to project the misubishi logo on to the ground at night again just with the SEL launch edition so I thought that's pretty stinking cool but anyways take a look down at the wheel setup 18 inch alloys coming with the ES 20 inch two-toned alloys then coming with the S E trim level and up so overall once again very good looking side profile to the outlander but now let's go ahead and make our way to the back of this one alright so now since we are around back of this one body colored shark fin antenna found on the very top there just below that rear spoiler with an integrated brake light just below that rear window wiper do like these tail lights as well they are LED they look very high-lander-esque actually in my opinion but very good look to the tail lights of course you have some outlander badging there's some trim level badging on the bottom right-hand corner there as well got some of that silver accenting found on the front end brought to the back end there so that looks pretty good too and as far as the exhaust setup goes let me show you guys it's actually tucked away underneath there is a single exhaust outlet but nonetheless do believe you guys know what we have to do next then as always here is that exhaust clip right so now since we are around back here of the outlander did want to mention when it comes to opening that rear liftgate it is a hands-free power liftgate if you were to go with the S E trim level and up so that is definitely pretty cool there is also a button on the key fob itself that's another way there's a button on the liftgate itself and there is a button by the driver's side left knee then as well to go ahead and open it up but once opened up cargo capacity comes in at 11.7 cubic feet behind that third row of course the seats do fold down bumping that up to 33.5 cubic feet behind the second row and behind that first row with Oliver's folded it comes in at 79.7 cubic feet which is actually pretty impressive for this size SUV actually my 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe which is a three row comes in at 80 cubic feet so this essentially is the exact same size as what I'm used to which is pretty cool maybe that's why I'm digging this thing so much so far but anyways cargo lighting can be found back there there is a 12-volt power outlet back there as well there is a cargo cover as well which I really liked can also find grocery bag hooks there are tie-down anchors and there is a little bit of in-floor storage back there as well which I thought was pretty cool but nonetheless making our way to the rear leg room that third row is going to come in at 18.7 cubic feet which essentially is less than a Ford Mustang so not a whole lot of space when it comes to the third row I'm thinking not many people are going to use that third row so for the second row leg room that is actually going to come in at respectable 39.9 inches which is a dang good bit for reference I mean even six feet tall this is how much space I had back there did want to also mention for the SE trim leveling up you will find a phone charging port any USB charging port back there in that second row as well which is pretty cool SE L trim leveling up is going to give you three zone climate control and that's always nice heated rear seats are going to come with the SE L trim leveling up as well rear window sunshades coming with the SE L launch edition trim level if you were interested in that rear ventilation coming with all trim levels of course and of course with this being a three row SUV seven passenger seating if I haven't mentioned it already does come standard on this one being three seats in the middle two seats in the very back and then it's going to give you that seven but making our way now up to the front seats manually adjustable cloth seating coming with the ES SE trim level is going to add leatherette surfaces and they will be heated front seats then as well for the SE SE L is going to add a power adjustable passenger seat and driver seat full leather seating drivers memory settings as well which is pretty cool but I will say we do have the SE so to speak the SE launch edition to be specific but I love the leather suede combination because I have this in my own car as well I always loved the leather and suede combination that's just my personal preference and that's what we have here in the SE launch edition so big fan of that as far seat comfort goes it might be the first thing I noticed when I got in this one these seats are very very comfortable I will say that absolutely no issues whatsoever in taking a long road trip in this thing of course we got the heated seats there as well so overall when it comes to the seating in the outlander 100% on point without a doubt but taking a look then at the steering wheel because they also killed it when it comes to the steering wheel it is tilt and telescoping it is leather wrapped for the SE trim level and up and if you wanted a heated steering wheel you can get it with the SE L launch edition trim level only but I will say the 10 to 2 grips everything's bolstered a little bit thicker than you would traditionally find on other three row SEVs out there so for that reason I'm personally a big fan just because of the thicker grip so welcome Mr. Bishy yet again then take a look at the startup let me first start by showing you guys the key here essentially you do have all of your buttons located on one side of the key Mr. Bishy logo at the top lock unlocking that button to pop the rear hatch but essentially it is all keyless entry with a push button start for every single trim level across the board so all I am going to do here is simply pump my fun on the brake and press that engine start button which is located just to the left of the air vents there and so once started up once again the outlander is out doing itself yet again you will get a 12.3 inch digital gauge cluster if you go with the SE L trim level and up and of course that includes the SE launch edition and the SE L launch edition as well but that is currently what you guys are looking at and I love it because it is completely customizable you will get traditional gauges if you go with any other trims below that but since we have this doing to show it to you guys there are steering wheel mounting controls on the left side of the steering wheel my favorite particular option to really personalize this there is a little icon called change meter view and so if you press that it really gives the opportunity to choose between more of a traditional gauge cluster we have the tachometer on your left speedometer on your right and a bunch of information found in the center portion of those digital gauges but then if you press it again it's my personal preference now because you got the digital speedometer all the way to your right and the tachometer is on your left but it's kind of in this circular display that is unlike any other gauges that I've ever seen so far out there so for that reason I love different and I love that of course you can check out your outside temperature how many miles you have left until you hit empty and there is a ton of other information you can check out up there as well but once again misubishi you killed it when it comes to the gauges I absolutely love these gauges on this thing but anyways continuing on to overall interior quality panoramic sunroof coming with the SE launch edition trim level and up that's of course what you guys are looking at right now overhead sunglass holder coming standard for all trim levels across the board auto dimming rear view mirror coming with the SEL trim level and up wireless phone charger coming with the SE trim level and up well done misubishi for putting that on one of the lower trim levels that's pretty cool three zone climate control coming with the SEL trim level and up already mentioned that to you guys overall interior quality is nearly perfect and that's actually pretty darn good from where misubishi used to be to where they currently are now which is great got this carbon fiber look surrounding the power window buttons on the doors I absolutely love that you have some stitch leather found just above the passenger side glove box along with this P&O black finish located in between the air vents up there as well also have some very soft touch material on the doors themselves which I absolutely love you usually don't find that either of course you have a USB charging port directly in front of the shifter also regular phone charging port as well in the 12-volt power outlet although again we got a wireless phone charger so I would probably just use that there isn't a lecture mechanical parking brake which is pretty cool just to the right of those drive mode buttons there just behind all of it you have dual cup holders and within the center armrest there is a little bit of storage there as well but like I said nearly perfect my constructive criticism when it comes to the interior quality and I find this in a lot of SUVs and vehicles actually there is this matte black finish just to the right of the shifter surrounding the lecture mechanical parking brake that is unfortunately going to get scratched up and leave some marks that will essentially be unfixable so that I don't like and also that same materials found just in front of the door handles on the front doors here as well so besides that it is dang good without a doubt the interior quality is a night and day difference between what it used to be and still it is better than most of its competition I would even say right now as well so well done Mr. Bishi that was very good but anyways taking a look now at the infotainment screen there are two of them you can get the eight inch color touch screen display coming with the ES or if you go with any other trim level you're going to get a nine inch color touchscreen display which is what you guys are looking at right now either way though you still get Bluetooth and audio streaming you still get Android Auto Apple CarPlay even with that ES trim level so that's wonderful meaning if you have a smartphone simply hook it up to the Outlander therefore you have free navigation displayed up on that infotainment screen no matter what system that you go with and you can also have the ability to like and dislike your Pandora songs up on that screen and there's a bunch of other compatible apps as well but that is pretty cool that even the bottom-term level gets that factory navigation system is going to come with the SE trim level and up although you don't really need it these days can actually check out some weather information up there if you wanted to you can check out some stock information you can check out fuel prices and of course your radio settings then as well and so when it comes to the sound systems there's two of them for the Outlander there is a six speaker sound system coming with the ES, SE and SE L trims then there is a 10 speaker Bose sound system coming with both of the launch addition term level so therefore that's what we have today so what do you guys say let's go ahead and turn on the radio see we got playing today and let's test out the clarity of this one it just keeps getting better with this Outlander I swear that sound system was amazing Bose you killed it in the Outlander I will say that it's weird how some sound systems sound better in some cars than others like I just tested the Bose sound system and the Nissan the other the Nissan Murano to be exact and it wasn't anywhere near as good as the one found in the Outlander which is kind of weird but kind of cool so I do like it better in the Outlander also Bose sound systems are incredibly reliable I've had them in my cars before they have never failed me ever so I'm a big fan of the sound system without a doubt but last thing I wanted to mention to you guys on the infotainment screen at least is when you do put this one in reverse you will find a rear view camera multi-view system coming with the se trim level and up then which is always is going to lead us into safety and so first thing I always like to mention IIHS top safety pick for the 2020 model year hasn't of course been tested yet for the 2022 model but when it comes to safety typically it only gets better with times I would imagine it would have leased at minimum be a top safety pick yet again if not a top safety pick plus but anyways front side side curtain airbags do come standard also a driver's knee airbag up front as well in the back you're going to have latch aka lower anchors and tether children for the rear car seats rear child door locks back there tire pressure monitoring system as well but also coming standard on this one forward collision mitigation system blind spot monitoring system with rear cross traffic alert lane change assist and reverse automatic braking then as well and if you were to go with that se trim level and up that's going to add a decent amount of extra safety included to that coming with a safety suite known as me pilot assist which essentially is misubishi's name brand safety package but anyways if you were to go with those trims you will get adaptive cruise control with traffic jam assist lane keep assist lane departure prevention and traffic sign recognition then as well and so overall when it comes to my final thoughts here of the outlander from being honest the exterior styling is brilliant it looks absolutely amazing interior is light years better than what it used to be I absolutely love the interior quality actually in this it's better than most of the competition right now believe it or not so that is absolutely wonderful rear windows sunshade availability is great we didn't have it on our se launch edition trim level today but I love that that's available because typically with sevs you're going to have some kids in the back and those rear windows sunshades are always a big plus of course if it were me if I were to buy this today I would personally probably get the se l all-wheel drive just because you do get the 12.3 inch digital gauge cluster like I'm looking at right now you get leather seating memory settings three zone climate control heated rear seats as well so that's pretty cool also wanted to mention a little fun fact I don't think I mentioned to you guys earlier the previous outlander had 66 cubic feet of cargo capacity this new one 80 cubic feet essentially 79 point whatever I said but 80 cubic feet that is a massive difference from what it used to be so that's what I'm saying this new outlander is basically a completely different breed from what it used to be so I absolutely love that it's gotten so much better as far as constructive criticism goes besides those gray matte black finishes found right around the shifter there all the only other thing I could think of is maybe some ambient lighting would be cool to see in this thing but other than that this is dang near perfect believe it or not so I absolutely love this thing let me know what you guys think of the outlander in the comment section below that is about it for this one you guys feel free to follow me on social
