Lease-end protection.
Avoid the surprise bill.
When you return a leased vehicle, the leasing company inspects every detail and bills excess wear. A chipped windshield, worn tires or excess mileage can push past $1,000. Mitsubishi protection reimburses those fees, up to $7,500 per visit.
Why "yes".
In a lease, the vehicle isn't yours. Returning a worn or driven Outlander PHEV means you pay for every irregularity. Protection erases that risk for less than a single return bill.
The inspector scrutinizes everything
Tire depth, windshield, dents, scratches, interior, mirrors, mileage. Every out-of-spec item becomes a line on the final bill.
Small mounts make big mountains
A worn tire ($400), a chipped windshield ($800), 5,000 km of excess ($750) — the bill quickly tops $2,000, well beyond a 4-year protection.
Up to $7,500 reimbursed per visit
Mitsubishi wear protection covers eligible cosmetic damage, tires and excess mileage, up to $7,500 per visit.
What's covered.
Mitsubishi Appearance Protection reimburses eligible wear and cosmetic damage found at the lease-end inspection. Per-visit amounts, taxes extra.
Cosmetic damage per visit
Body, paint, glass, interior, tires, wheels, mirrors.
Excess mileage
Reimbursement of excess mileage at lease return.
Damaged tire / wheel

A single damage, and the protection pays for itself.
Compare the fees charged by the lessor at lease return to the cost of a 4-year protection.

The inspector compares each point against an acceptable-wear grid. Below the threshold, you pay. Protection takes over where normal wear stops.
- Tires (min. 4/32 in depth, no uneven wear)
- Windshield, glass and headlights (no chips, cracks, haze)
- Body (dents < 7.5 cm, scratches < 10 cm per panel)
- Bumpers (scuffs and discoloration accepted within a limit)
- Interior (seats, mats, headliner with no tears or persistent stains)
- Mirrors, antennas and trims intact
- Keys, manuals and spare present
- Mileage within the lease contract limit
At the start of the lease.
Protection is taken out at lease signing and covers the full lease term. It can be financed into the payments or paid cash. It can't be added once the lease has begun.
Right at lease signing
Protection is offered when leasing a new Mitsubishi. It's added to the contract as a peace-of-mind option.
Financing into the payments
The cost spreads over the lease term, within the payments. No extra outlay, no surprise at return.
Covers the full lease term
Valid 24 to 60 months depending on the contract. In case of early return or trade, protection follows the contract.

The real questions.
Is lease-end protection really worth it?
Yes. The leasing company bills every irregularity at lease return: worn tire, chipped windshield, excess mileage. A single bill often exceeds the cost of a 4-year protection.
When should I get it?
At the time of lease signing. It can't be added once the lease has begun, since it covers wear throughout the term.
What does the protection reimburse?
Eligible cosmetic damage (body, paint, glass, interior, tires, wheels, mirrors) and excess mileage, up to $7,500 per repair visit at lease return.
Can I finance it into my payments?
Yes. The cost can be spread across the lease payments, with no extra outlay. You can also pay cash at signing.
What if I return the vehicle before lease end?
Protection follows the lease contract. In case of early termination or trade, the contract terms apply — talk to your Mitsubishi Lévis advisor.
Is the protection different from the extended warranty?
Yes. The extended warranty covers mechanical and electronic breakdown. Wear protection covers wear and cosmetic damage found at the return of a leased vehicle. The two are complementary.
