Overview

All-new platform launched 2024. Too new for established long-term reliability data - any problem entries reflect early-production calibration risks rather than known wear patterns. Modern Euro 6 powertrain requires AdBlue. AU Mitsubishi dealer network remains strong, which counts heavily for a brand-new platform.

Known problems

medium
AdBlue/SCR sensor errors
Early-production examples can experience SCR system errors where sensors fault out and trigger countdown alerts preventing restart. Reflects new-platform calibration issues.
Fix: Dealer software updates or AdBlue tank sensor replacement under warranty.
From 5,000 - 20,000km (unverified) · ~$0 - $1500 (unverified)
low
ADAS sensor calibration teething
Driver monitoring and forward collision warning systems can exhibit over-sensitive false alerts in specific driving scenarios.
Fix: Dealer firmware update to revised calibration parameters.
From 2,000 - 15,000km (unverified) · ~$0 - $400 (unverified)
medium
Bi-turbo wastegate actuator fault
Sequential bi-turbo system uses electronic actuators that can suffer software mismatch or minor binding under heat cycles. Early-production teething issue.
Fix: Dealer recalibration or turbo assembly replacement under warranty.
From 10,000 - 30,000km (unverified) · ~$0 - $2200 (unverified)

Common problems (all variants)

low
Early-production fit and finish
First-year production examples can have minor interior trim alignment, wind noise, and rattle issues. Typically warranty-fixable.
Fix: Thorough PDI at delivery. Document any defects for warranty.
