Both the Range Rover Evoque and Outlander have child safety locks to prevent children from opening the rear doors. The Range Rover Evoque has power child safety locks, allowing the driver to activate and deactivate them from the driver's seat and to know when they're engaged. The Outlander’s child locks have to be individually engaged at each rear door with a manual switch. The driver can’t know the status of the locks without opening the doors and checking them.

To provide maximum traction and stability on all roads, All-Wheel Drive is standard on the Range Rover Evoque. But it costs extra on the Outlander.

Both the Range Rover Evoque and the Outlander have standard driver and passenger frontal airbags, front side-impact airbags, driver and front passenger knee airbags, side-impact head airbags, four-wheel antilock brakes, traction control, electronic stability systems to prevent skidding, crash mitigating brakes, daytime running lights, rearview cameras, driver alert monitors, blind spot warning systems, rear cross-path warning, and available around view monitors.

Warranty

The Range Rover Evoque’s corrosion warranty is unlimited miles longer than the Outlander’s (unlimited vs. 100,000 miles).

Reliability

J.D. Power and Associates’ 2022 Initial Quality Study of new car owners surveyed provide the statistics that show that Land Rover vehicles are better in initial quality than Mitsubishi vehicles. With 33 fewer problems per 100 vehicles, JD Power ranks Land Rover higher than Mitsubishi.

Engine

The Range Rover Evoque’s standard 2.0 turbo 4-cylinder produces 65 more horsepower (246 vs. 181) and 88 lbs.-ft. more torque (269 vs. 181) than the Outlander’s 2.5 DOHC 4-cylinder. The Range Rover Evoque HST’s standard 2.0 turbo 4-cylinder produces 115 more horsepower (296 vs. 181) and 114 lbs.-ft. more torque (295 vs. 181) than the Outlander’s 2.5 DOHC 4-cylinder.

As tested in Consumer Reports the Land Rover Range Rover Evoque 2.0 is faster than the Mitsubishi Outlander:

	Range Rover Evoque	Outlander
Zero to 30 MPH	3.2 sec	3.7 sec
Zero to 60 MPH	8.3 sec	9.9 sec
Quarter Mile	16.6 sec	17.5 sec
Speed in 1/4 Mile	86 MPH	83 MPH

Fuel Economy and Range

Regenerative brakes improve the Range Rover Evoque’s fuel efficiency by converting inertia back into energy instead of wasting it. The Outlander doesn’t offer a regenerative braking system.

In heavy traffic or at stoplights the Range Rover Evoque’s engine automatically turns off when the vehicle is stopped, saving fuel and reducing pollution. The engine is automatically restarted when the driver gets ready to move again. If the conditions warrant or the driver wishes, the system can be manually disabled at any time for the duration of a trip. The Outlander doesn’t offer an automatic engine start/stop system.

The Range Rover Evoque has 3.2 gallons more fuel capacity than the Outlander (17.7 vs. 14.5 gallons), for longer range between fill-ups.

Environmental Friendliness

In its Green Vehicle Guide, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) rates the Land Rover Range Rover Evoque higher (7 out of 10) than the Mitsubishi Outlander (6 to 7). This means the Range Rover Evoque produces up to 1.1 pounds less smog-producing pollutants than the Outlander every 15,000 miles.

Brakes and Stopping

The Range Rover Evoque stops shorter than the Outlander:

	Range Rover Evoque	Outlander
60 to 0 MPH	126 feet	133 feet	Consumer Reports
60 to 0 MPH (Wet)	129 feet	136 feet	Consumer Reports

Tires and Wheels

For better ride, handling and brake cooling the Range Rover Evoque offers optional 21-inch wheels. The Outlander’s largest wheels are only 20-inches.

The Range Rover Evoque has a standard space-saver spare tire so you can replace a flat tire and drive to have the flat repaired or replaced. A spare tire isn’t available on the Outlander; it requires you to depend on roadside assistance and your vehicle will have to be towed.

Suspension and Handling

The Range Rover Evoque offers an optional driver-adjustable suspension system. It allows the driver to choose between an extra-supple ride, reducing fatigue on long trips, or a sport setting, which allows maximum control for tricky roads or off-road. The Outlander’s suspension doesn’t offer adjustable shock absorbers.

The Range Rover Evoque has vehicle speed sensitive variable-assist power steering, for low-effort parking, better control at highway speeds and during hard cornering, and a better feel of the road. The Outlander doesn’t offer variable-assist power steering.

For better handling and stability, the track (width between the wheels) on the Range Rover Evoque is 1.2 inches wider in the front and 1.1 inches wider in the rear than on the Outlander.

Chassis

The Range Rover Evoque is 1 foot, 1.3 inches shorter than the Outlander, making the Range Rover Evoque easier to handle, maneuver and park in tight spaces.

For excellent aerodynamics, the Range Rover Evoque has standard flush composite headlights. The Outlander has recessed headlights that spoil its aerodynamic shape and create extra drag.

Cargo Capacity

The Range Rover Evoque has a much larger cargo volume than the Outlander with its rear seat up (21.6 vs. 11.7 cubic feet).

Towing

The Range Rover Evoque’s standard towing capacity is much higher than the Outlander’s (3968 vs. 2000 pounds).

Ergonomics

Unlike the driver-only memory seat and mirrors in the Outlander SEL, the Range Rover Evoque SE/HST has standard driver and passenger memory, so that when drivers switch, the memory setting adjusts the driver’s seat, steering wheel position (with optional power wheel adjuster) and outside mirror angle and the front passenger seat also adjusts to the new passenger’s preset preferences.

The Range Rover Evoque’s front and rear power windows all open or close fully with one touch of the switches, making it more convenient at drive-up windows and toll booths, or when talking with someone outside the car. The Outlander’s standard passenger windows don’t open or close automatically.

On a hot day the Range Rover Evoque’s driver can lower all the windows from a distance using the keyless remote. The driver of the Outlander can only operate the windows from inside the vehicle, with the ignition on.

The power windows standard on both the Range Rover Evoque and the Outlander have locks to prevent small children from operating them. When the lock on the Range Rover Evoque is engaged the driver can still operate all of the windows, for instance to close one opened by a child. The Outlander prevents the driver from operating the other windows just as it does the other passengers.

The Range Rover Evoque’s rain-sensitive wipers adjust their speed and turn on and off automatically based on the amount of rainfall on the windshield. This allows the driver to concentrate on driving without constantly adjusting the wipers. The Outlander ES’ standard intermittent wipers change speed with vehicle speed, but can’t turn on and off or change speed based on changing rainfall.

Heated windshield washer nozzles are optional on the Range Rover Evoque to prevent washer fluid and nozzles from freezing and help continue to keep the windshield clear in sub-freezing temperatures. The Outlander doesn’t offer heated windshield washer nozzles.

The Range Rover Evoque’s standard outside mirrors include heating elements to clear off the mirrors for better visibility. Mitsubishi only offers heated mirrors on the Outlander SE/SEL.

The Range Rover Evoque’s standard rear and side view mirrors have an automatic dimming feature. These mirrors can be set to automatically darken quickly when headlights shine on them, keeping following vehicles from blinding or distracting the driver. The Outlander offers an automatic rear view mirror, but its side mirrors don’t dim.

To quickly and conveniently keep personal devices charged without cables tangling and wearing out, the Land Rover Range Rover Evoque has a standard wireless phone charging system (Qi) in the center console. Only the Outlander SE/SEL offers wireless charging.

The Range Rover Evoque’s optional Park Assist can parallel park or back into a parking spot by itself, with the driver only controlling speed with the brake pedal. The Outlander doesn’t offer an automated parking system.
