Dodge Nitro vs. Mitsubishi Outlander Review

Utility
The Mitsubishi Outlander will quite certainly prove handier than the Nitro for those of you with frequent kid-cargo. The Dodge Nitro outpulls the Mitsubishi Outlander by a massive margin.

Dimensions
Your wallet will hurt more every time you fill up the Dodge Nitro than the Mitsubishi Outlander because of its bigger tank. The Dodge Nitro and the Mitsubishi Outlander compete for the same parking spaces.

Convenience
You definitely won't have to visit your friendly gas station more often with the Nitro than with the Outlander, as both offer comparable ranges.

Cost
The destination charge is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle from its point of origin to the dealer. It costs almost the same to get the Outlander to the dealership as the Dodge. With respect to fuel economy, the Mitsubishi Outlander has the Dodge Nitro beat. The Dodge Nitro pales in comparison to the Mitsubishi Outlander in terms of gas mileage. Regarding MSRP, the Mitsubishi Outlander costs approximately as much as the Dodge (though the Dodge is a little cheaper). The Mitsubishi Outlander will save you a lots_of_money at the pump every year compared to the Nitro.

Handling
With their similar turning circles, the Outlander and the Dodge Nitro most definitely handle approximately the same into and out of tight spots.

Drivetrain
The Dodge has a more massive engine than the Mitsubishi Outlander. Bear in mind that smaller engines are often cheaper to fix, but a smaller engine usually has to work a little harder. Torque is roughly equivalent to acceleration, and in this respect, the Nitro is substantially more powerful than the Mitsubishi Outlander. Torque equals pickup, and the Nitro will have picked up and gone by the time the Mitsubishi Outlander finally gets moving.

Comfort
While the front cabin in the Dodge Nitro offers a bit more head room than the Mitsubishi, there honestly isn't much of a difference. While the rear of the Dodge Nitro offers a bit more head- and leg-room than the Mitsubishi Outlander, there honestly isn't much of a difference.

Warranty
The basic warranty that comes with the Dodge isn't quite as generous as the Mitsubishi Outlander's.
