Both models are adept at wielding their way through city traffic and taking you on back roads. They also provide the comfort and convenience features you want. Both models have a similar amount of room in the front row for passengers. Rear passengers will be more comfortable in the 2025 Mitsubishi Outlander because it comes with two more inches of rear legroom and nearly six extra inches of hip room. Since the Outlander has a third row, it has a much higher passenger volume in total than the RAV4.
Toyota and Mitsubishi both use a 2.5L engine for their SUVs, but the Outlander has higher torque at 181 lb.-ft over the 163 lb.-ft for the RAV4. You can also tow a little bigger trailer or camper with the Mitsubishi Outlander, which offers up to 2000 pounds of towing while the RAV4 has just 1750 pounds. Base trims for these two SUVs are standard front-wheel drive and come with automatic emergency braking to stop quickly in emergencies. Remote engine start is standard on the Outlander and available as an option for the RAV4. The biggest difference is in the warranty, which is where Mitsubishi shines. The Outlander is covered with a basic warranty for five years or 60K while the RAV4 is protected for three years or 36K.
If you spend a lot of time in your vehicle, you’ll want to know about comfort features. The base trims of the RAV4 and Outlander come with manual adjustable front seats and Android Auto or Apple CarPlay to pair your phone. You can see your favorite apps on the eight-inch screen, which is standard on both models. The RAV4 comes with a manual climate control system on the base trim while the 2025 Mitsubishi Outlander includes dual-zone climate control.
