Mitsubishi Outlander in detail about fuel consumption
Content
The Japanese company has been producing Mitsubishi brand cars since 2001. Mitsubishi Outlander fuel consumption depends on the engine model, driving style, road quality and other factors. At the moment, there are three generations of Mitsubishi production. The sale of first-generation crossovers in the Japanese market began in 2001, but in Europe and the USA only since 2003. Drivers bought this type of Misubishi until 2006, although in 2005 a second-generation crossover was already introduced.
The second generation of Japanese crossovers
General characteristics

- a variety of buttons located on the steering wheel of the car to control the phone or acoustics;
- original design of headlights;
- the presence of a powerful 250 mm subwoofer.

It is important to know
Average fuel consumption of the 2008 Mitsubishi Outlander with classic automatic transmission is the highest. The gasoline consumption rate for Outlander in the city is about 15 liters. Gasoline consumption by an outlander on the highway is much less than in the city. For a crossover, it is 8 liters per 100 km. According to the reviews of motorists, during mixed driving, you need 10 liters per 100 km.
If we consider the fuel consumption for an Outlander with an engine size of 2,4 liters with an all-wheel drive modification, then it is about 9.3 liters per 100 km. But a crossover with a 2-liter engine and a front-wheel drive version, on average, consumes about 8 liters.
The third generation of Japanese crossovers
General characteristics
This car is popular with buyers. The design has changed a bit, but external characteristics are still inherent, by which you can determine that this is a Mitsubishi brand crossover. The body size of the outlander has increased by only a few centimeters. Improved aerodynamic performance. Due to the fact that a more durable and, at the same time, light steel was used, its weight was reduced by 100 kg. The interior design of the Outlander has been almost completely redesigned.
It is important to know
Mitsubishi Outlander's fuel consumption per 100 km, according to official figures, is 9 liters if you drive around the city. While driving a Mitsubishi on the highway, fuel consumption is 6.70 liters. The real fuel consumption of a 2012 Mitsubishi Outlander while driving on the highway is 9.17 liters.
It is clear that drivers are more interested in how much fuel the fuel tank of this car actually holds, and not theoretically.
Mitsubishi Outlander's actual gas mileage per 100 km while driving around the city is a little more than 14 liters, which is 5 liters more than what is written in the car's operating instructions.
With mixed driving, according to official data, if AI-95 gasoline is used, the fuel consumption of the outlander will be about 7.5 liters, but in reality these figures are 11 liters. Below are the gas consumption data based on driver feedback and when grouping the type of fuel:
- The real consumption of AI-92 gasoline while driving in the city is 14 liters, on the highway - 9 liters, with mixed driving - 11 liters.
- The actual fuel consumption of AI-95 while driving in the city is 15 liters, on the highway - 9.57 liters, with mixed driving the norm is 11.75 liters.
Recommendations for drivers
Most motorists are interested in the answer to the question of how to reduce the fuel consumption of an outlander, because the price of gasoline is now very "biting".
In order not to throw money down the drain, you need to buy Fual Shark from trusted manufacturers, otherwise you cannot avoid a fake.
The second option to save fuel consumption by an outlander is to reduce speed. Higher speeds require more fuel. Also remember that the pedals need to be pressed smoothly, without jerking. Try to maintain a stable speed, because this will reduce the level of impact on the vehicle components. Do not forget about cleaning in your outlander, because the less the weight of the car, the less fuel consumption. Throw any trash out of the trunk and do not carry it with you. Do a periodic technical inspection of your machine, especially check the air filter (if it is dirty).
Of course, the most economical option is not to drive an Outlander at all, but it is not suitable for everyone. So you can install a combustion activator in the car, which will reduce fuel consumption by as much as 20%. This device is good because it can be used with such types of fuel: gasoline (all brands), gas and even diesel fuel. Also, with the help of it, you can slightly increase the power of the Outlander engine. This device helps to reduce the level of harmful substances in exhaust gases by 30 to 40% and thus not worsen the ecology of our planet.
