Mitsubishi Outlander extended warranty coverage
An extended auto warranty effectively lengthens the factory warranty your Outlander comes with.
Mitsubishi Outlander factory warranty coverage
For context, all new Mitsubishis (model year 2024 and newer) come with the following factory warranties:
A 5-year/60,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty
A 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty
New Mitsubishis also come with a 5-year/unlimited mile roadside assistance benefit, as well as a 2-year/30,000-mile limited maintenance program.
Coverage options
When looking at extended warranties for your Mitsubishi Outlander, you have two main options. You can purchase an extended warranty directly from the manufacturer, or you can buy from a third-party warranty provider.
Mitsubishi Diamond Care Protection Plan
The Mitsubishi Diamond Care Protection Plan is Mitsubishi’s official extended warranty for both new and used vehicles. Its vehicle service contract (VSC) is available for vehicles under 10 years old and under 100,000 miles. It comes in three coverage levels, and you can extend your coverage by up to eight years or 120,000 miles.
The Diamond Care Protection Plan's most comprehensive tier (the Supreme Plan) covers more than 2,035 vehicle components. The Deluxe tier covers 1,330 parts, while the Powertrain plan offers coverage on 630 parts.
In addition to the extended warranty coverage, all Mitsubishi Diamond Care plans include the following benefits:
24/7 emergency roadside assistance
Trip interruption reimbursement when you are more than 100 miles from home
Rental car assistance (up to $42 per day for a maximum of five days)
Towing reimbursement (up to $100 per claim)
If you don’t qualify for the VSC plan due to age or mileage, you may be able to qualify for Mitsubishi's high-mileage plan. This plan must be purchased at the time the vehicle is sold. It comes in four coverage levels, and you can get coverage for up to five years or 60,000 miles.
Mitsubishi also offers a certified pre-owned (CPO) limited warranty upgrade plan and a prepaid maintenance plan.
You can purchase a Diamond Care Protection Plan from Mitsubishi by contacting your local dealer.
Third-party extended warranty plan
If you don’t want to buy the Diamond Care Protection Plan, you can get a plan from a third-party extended warranty company. These companies may offer a greater range of plans or lower prices.
Before purchasing a warranty plan, it helps to compare a few options from different extended warranty companies. Extended warranty providers offer a variety of plan types, coverage tiers, exclusions and prices. We recommend comparing quotes from at least three providers before making your decision.
Mitsubishi Outlander extended warranty plans
Extended warranty plans for a Mitsubishi Outlander range from basic powertrain protection to broader bumper-to-bumper coverage.
Powertrain plans
A powertrain warranty covers a car’s engine, transmission and drive axle. These plans are usually cheaper than bumper-to-bumper plans, but they’re arguably not as worthwhile since they don’t cover as much. Lower-tier plans usually only cover around 10% to 20% of your car.
Bumper-to-bumper plans
A bumper-to-bumper car warranty covers virtually every part on a car except regular parts that are designed to wear out, like brake pads and wiper blades. These plans generally cover 90% or more of your car’s parts.
Typical bumper-to-bumper coverage includes:
Engine
Drive axle
Differential assembly
Transmission and transfer case
Steering
Seals and gaskets
Air conditioning and heating
Core electrical components
Front and rear suspension
Most brake components
Cooling system
Fuel delivery system
Mitsubishi Outlander extended warranty exclusions
The following are typically excluded from bumper-to-bumper warranties:
Spark plugs
Battery cables
Tires
Fluids and lubricants
Upholstery
Paint
Handles

Most providers allow the warranty coverage to transfer to a new owner, although some charge a transfer fee.
Can you cancel an extended warranty for a Mitsubishi Outlander?

Does Mitsubishi offer a 10-year warranty?
Yes, Mitsubishi offers a 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain limited warranty for all new Mitsubishi vehicles. This warranty covers select engine, transmission and transaxle components that need repair or replacement due to a manufacturing defect.
Is a Mitsubishi Outlander extended warranty worth it?
A Mitsubishi Outlander extended auto warranty could be worth it if any of the following apply to you:
Your vehicle has below-average reliability
Your extended warranty costs less than you expect to spend on repairs
A large and unexpected repair bill could hurt you financially
You want peace of mind
Reliability
Mitsubishi has mixed reliability as a brand. In J.D. Power’s 2026 Vehicle Dependability Study, J.D. Power ranked No. 14 out of 28 total automakers. It earned a score of 208 problems per 100 vehicles (PP100), which is on par with the study average of 204 PP100.
As for the Mitsubishi Outlander specifically, RepairPal gave it a score of 4 out of 5 stars for reliability, which is an above-average rating. RepairPal reported that a Mitsubishi Outlander has lower annual ownership costs ($519 per year) compared to the average upkeep costs for all vehicle models ($652 per year).
If you are weighing the value of an extended warranty plan for your Mitsubishi Outlander, it can help to compare the annual cost of a warranty plan with common issues reported for the Outlander. For example, some Outlander drivers report issues with the transmission failing prematurely. The cost to replace the transmission control module on a Mitsubishi Outlander is between $1,609 and $1,678, according to RepairPal, which is far higher than the annual cost of the quotes we received from olive and Endurance. While most basic repairs won't cost this much, it can offer some perspective if you're on the fence about whether an extended warranty plan is worth it.
