| Power: | 230 HP | 169 HP | |
| Torque: | 291 NM | 233 NM | |
| Acceleration 0-100 km/h: | n/a seconds | 10.3 seconds | |
| Mitsubishi Outlander engine produces 61 HP more power than Nissan X-Trail, whereas torque is 58 NM more than Nissan X-Trail. | |||
Fuel consumption | |||
| Fuel consumption (l/100km): | 10.4 | 9.3 | |
|
The Nissan X-Trail is a better choice when it comes to fuel economy. Mitsubishi Outlander consumes 1.1 litres more fuel per 100 km than the Nissan X-Trail, which means that if you drive 15,000 km in a year, the Mitsubishi Outlander could require 165 litres more fuel. | |||
| Fuel tank capacity: | 60 litres | 65 litres | |
| Full fuel tank distance: | 570 km in combined cycle | 690 km in combined cycle | |
| Nissan X-Trail gets more mileage on one fuel tank. | |||

| Ground clearance: | 215 mm (8.5 inches) | 200 mm (7.9 inches) | |
| Because of the higher ground clearance, Mitsubishi Outlander can perform better on bad roads - it can go over higher obstacles and bumps. At the same time, the higher ground clearance can reduce stability and handling on paved roads, especially at higher speeds. | |||
Engines | |||
| Engine production duration: | 18 years | 24 years | |
| Engine spread: | Used only for this car | Used also on Nissan Sentra | |
| In general, the longer and for more car models an engine is produced, the better its serviceability and availability of spare parts. Nissan X-Trail might be a better choice in this respect. | |||
| Hydraulic tappets: | yes | no | |
| The Mitsubishi Outlander engine has hydraulic tappets (lifters), providing quieter operation and no need for periodic adjustment, but they are more complex in design and can cause serious engine damage in case of failure. | |||
