Overview
The RAV4 is credited with starting the compact crossover segment, but at several points in the segment’s history, the Outlander defined it. Today, both the Mitsubishi and the Toyota are also unique in that they both offer a plug-in hybrid option. The Outlander PHEV has been on the market for several years while the RAV4 Prime entered dealer showrooms just a couple of years ago. The latest Outlander lost its hybrid drivetrain, though it’s expected to return. Outside of those similarities, however, the Mitsubishi and Toyota are apples and oranges. The Outlander made its name as the low-cost option for those not interested in flair or pricey accoutrements. And the Mitsubishi offers a small third-row seat the current RAV4 lacks. The Toyota made its name on reliability, upscale appeal, and versatility. That general comparison holds true up to the newest generation of each, which are far closer to one another in most areas.
