The 2019 Outlander maintains a relatively stable idle. Engine vibration at idle would only occur if there is a malfunction. Below is more information about the Outlander: 1. The Outlander is a compact SUV under Mitsubishi, equipped with two engines: a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine and a 2.4L naturally aspirated engine. 2. The 2.0L naturally aspirated engine delivers 166 horsepower and a maximum torque of 201 Nm. This engine reaches its peak power at 6000 rpm and its maximum torque at 4200 rpm. It features multi-point fuel injection technology and uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. It is paired with a 6-speed CVT transmission.

The idle vibration issue in the 2019 Outlander does exist, and while some may overlook it, the hidden risks are significant. Having driven this car, I can confirm that the engine vibration at idle is transmitted to the steering wheel, resulting in noticeable tremors. This is typically caused by excessive carbon buildup inside the engine, leading to uneven fuel combustion over time, especially evident at low speeds. It's advisable to first check if the engine's throttle body and fuel injectors are dirty; regular cleaning or using additives can help alleviate the issue. If left unaddressed for an extended period, fuel consumption may increase by around five percent. In cases of severe vibration, it could indicate aging spark plugs or a clogged air filter, which should be replaced promptly to prevent damage to engine components. While minor vibrations may not pose immediate safety concerns while driving, early detection and resolution are crucial.
