Used Mitsubishi Outlander 

The Mitsubishi Outlander Commercial is essentially a Mitsubishi Outlander SUV with the rear seats removed and replaced by a dedicated load area.

This particular generation came along in 2013, being discontinued in 2021 due to Mitsubishi pulling out of the UK. It was enhanced several times throughout its time on sale.

It's by no means the only SUV repurposed as a commercial vehicle. The Land Rover Discovery Commercial and Land Rover Defender Hard Top are premium alternatives that are very SUV-like, whilst the Dacia Duster Commercial is a more affordable take on the concept.

Highlights of the Mitsubishi Outlander Commercial are listed below.

• Popular PHEV version
• Comfortable
• Quiet, unlike many commercial vehicles
• Drives like a car
• Looks like an SUV

Used Mitsubishi Outlander Commercial models will tend to come with the 2.0-litre petrol PHEV or later 2.4-litre petrol PHEV engines, both of which provide excellent economy of between 140mpg and 159mpg.

Alternatively, older 2.2-litre diesel engines will return around the 40mpg mark.

As for overall performance, instead of driving like that of a regular commercial vehicle - a bit agricultural perhaps, the Outlander Commercial drives very similar to a car, which is a huge plus. It's also rather refined, quiet and comfortable.

And if you're thinking about a used Mitsubishi Outlander Commercial to tow with, you'll be able to do so with 750kg unbraked (the limit) and 2,000kg braked for the diesel, whilst the PHEV is rated at 1,000kg braked.

Interiors are very pleasant, and feel much more SUV-like than van-like. Higher trim and later models even make use of a digital infotainment screen, along with sharper instruments on some models.

Materials are decent and the fit and finish is very good for a commercial vehicle. 2019 'Reflex' models onwards benefit from heated seats, Bluetooth, DAB, rear parking sensors, keyless entry and dual-zone climate control as standard.

'Reflex Plus' models add in the 8.0-inch infotainment touchscreen, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto along with a reversing camera.

Safety kit on the 2019 onward models feature hill-start assist, electronic stability control along with auto lights and wipers. All models are four-wheel drive and come with a heated windscreen meaning winter is a lot easier with a Mitsubishi Outlander Commercial, thanks to enhanced grip, stability and ease of use.
