Atlantic City Mitsubishi - Which SUV serves families better, the 2025 Mitsubishi Outlander or the 2025 Honda CR-V around Cherry Hill, NJ?
When families ask which compact SUV solves more real-world needs, we look at the details that change everyday life: passenger capacity, cargo flexibility, visibility aids, long-distance comfort, and driver-assist sophistication. The 2025 Mitsubishi Outlander makes a compelling case with standard seven-passenger seating, the clarity of a standard 12.3" Smartphone-link Display Audio with Navigation, and available technologies such as MI-PILOT Assist™ w/ Navi-link and a Multi-View Camera System. The 2025 Honda CR-V is a strong two-row choice with available hybrid power and Honda Sensing® across the lineup, but it does not offer a factory 360-degree camera, a panoramic roof, or a third row. For winter and wet-weather confidence, Outlander’s available Super All-Wheel Control (S-AWC) coordinates traction and braking with impressive precision.
To make quick comparisons easier, here are a few highlights that families in this area ask about most often:
- Seating capacity: Outlander seats seven; CR-V seats five.
- All-weather confidence: Outlander offers Super All-Wheel Control (S-AWC); CR-V offers Real Time AWD™.
- Camera tech: Outlander offers a Multi-View Camera System; CR-V lacks a factory 360-degree camera.
- Infotainment clarity: Outlander has a standard 12.3" touch-screen with navigation; CR-V tops out at 9 inches on select trims.
- Premium audio: Outlander offers Dynamic Sound Yamaha® Premium; CR-V offers Bose on top trim.
- Warranty confidence: Outlander includes a 10-year/100,000-mile Powertrain Limited Warranty; CR-V does not.
Beyond specs, road manners matter. For 2025, Outlander benefits from additional sound-deadening and suspension refinements that quiet the cabin and smooth rough pavement, helping long errands or highway trips feel calmer. Its adaptive driver-assist suite—MI-PILOT Assist™ w/ Navi-link—adds Stop & Go capability, Lane Keep Assist, Lane Departure Prevention, and Traffic Sign Recognition to help reduce fatigue on congested routes. The CR-V’s Honda Sensing® is familiar and capable, with useful lane-centering and adaptive cruise functions, but Outlander’s available 360-degree view and Rear Automatic Emergency Braking expand low-speed safety and parking confidence in crowded lots and tight driveways.
Cargo versatility is another day-to-day differentiator. Outlander’s split-folding second and third rows give you options for people, pets, and gear, while the CR-V’s two-row layout prioritizes second-row space and straightforward cargo loading. If you occasionally need extra seats for school runs or weekend activities, Outlander’s standard third row simply makes life easier.
Finally, technology quality-of-life features can sway the decision. Outlander’s standard wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto, available head-up display, and available wireless charging streamline the cabin. The CR-V matches wireless smartphone integration on select trims and offers a clean interface, but the Outlander’s larger screen and wider camera coverage improve at-a-glance information.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Does the 2025 Outlander’s third row work for everyday use?
The Outlander’s third row is best for kids or occasional adult use, but its availability gives you flexibility for carpools, family visits, and extra friends on short trips—an advantage a two-row compact SUV simply cannot match.
How do S-AWC and Real Time AWD™ differ in practice?
Outlander’s available Super All-Wheel Control (S-AWC) coordinates traction and braking at each wheel to help the SUV feel composed across changing conditions. Real Time AWD™ on the CR-V is a capable on-demand system, but S-AWC’s integrated approach and drive modes deliver a more confidence-inspiring feel in mixed traction.
Which driver-assist features help most on long highway drives?
Outlander’s available MI-PILOT Assist™ w/ Navi-link brings Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop & Go, Lane Keep Assist, and more to reduce workload in traffic and on sustained highway stints. CR-V’s Honda Sensing® provides similar core functions, but Outlander also offers a Multi-View Camera System and Rear Automatic Emergency Braking to enhance low-speed safety when you pull off the highway and into tight urban parking.
