2025 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2025 Outlander PHEV.

Transmission Automatic (A1)

The 2025 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV arrives with an Automatic (A1) transmission and a single owner complaint recorded across Service Brakes, Hydraulic, Electrical System, and Vehicle Speed Control categories, alongside one recall. In the broader model history spanning 2018 through 2025, this latest year matches the low-water mark set in 2022 with just one complaint, a sharp contrast to the 2019 peak of 22. That trajectory suggests the plug-in hybrid's reliability profile has stabilized at its quietest level since the current generation began.

Factory maintenance schedule OEM · verified

Normal service, condensed from the factory interval matrix.

Under the factory schedule, replace the engine oil and filter every 7,500 mi; spark plugs at 105,000 mi; coolant every 30,000 mi. The big-interval services (every 30,000 mi for coolant, and the transmission fluid) are the ones owners most often skip — on a lower-mileage example, assume the original fluids are still in it and check them first.

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

The 2025 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV represents the lowest-complaint year in its generation, with just one NHTSA complaint filed—the same minimal level seen in 20222024, but dramatically lower than the 15–22 complaints recorded in 2018‑2019. Recalls have also trended steadily downward from five in 2018‑2019 to just one in 2025, the lowest of any model year in the dataset. The single open investigation that began in 2018 was closed with no new activity through 2024, and zero investigations are pending for 2025. Technical Service Bulletins dropped to 31 in 2025, down from 71 in 2024 and well below the peaks of 141 in 2019, indicating fewer dealer‑level fixes being issued. The sole 2025 complaint involves brakes, electrical systems, and vehicle speed control, with one crash complaint and no fire reports on file. This trajectory suggests Mitsubishi resolved the higher complaint volume of the early generation years, and the 2025 model benefits from the lowest recall burden and the fewest TSBs on record. For a used 2025 Outlander PHEV, this is a favorable year to buy within this generation.
