Stepping into the cabin of the Outlander is like entering a haven, thanks to its design principle of Omotenashi, which refers to Japanese hospitality. With additional upgrades for the latest model year, every micro-detail has been considered to provide a driver-centric cockpit, an interior sanctuary with available luxuries for everyone on board, and an exterior that’s equally modern and refined.
With its revised front grille and bumper that fully integrate with the signature clamshell hood and enhanced front badging that offers a substantial stance, the Outlander is undeniably Mitsubishi. A variety of standard and available features add to its stately exterior, including:
- LED running lights and turn signals
- Full LED combination taillights
- Panoramic sunroof
The status quo may be fine for most SUVs, but the Mitsubishi Outlander prefers to continue to raise the bar. Refreshed standard and available 18- and 20-inch alloy wheel designs include two-tone variations, and a revitalized tri-coat paint shade—Moonstone Gray Metallic—further distinguish the Outlander from “most” SUVs. Clearly, the Outlander lives by the mantra, "Why fit in when you were born to stand out?"
Step inside the cabin of the Mitsubishi Outlander, and you'll find additional upgrades to what was already a premier haven on wheels. You can choose from a variety of Regenerated materials, including semi-aniline leather in Brick Brown and light gray synthetic leather with suede-like inserts. Its center console offers more storage plus updated cupholders—always an important feature of any vehicle!
This 3-row SUV offers a plethora of standard and available refined interior features, ensuring that every one of its up to seven passengers is comfortable and content. Among them are:
- 8-way power and memory seating
- Heated and ventilated front seats
- Heated rear seats
- Heated steering wheel
- Tri-Zone Climate Control
As a result, no matter where you sit, you’ll always have the best seat in the house!
As its name suggests, the Mitsubishi Outlander enables you to go nearly anywhere. Since it was tested on a rally course, it brings plenty of power and is truly a pleasure to drive. Whether you’re running local errands or taking your crew on an extended vacation, you’ll enjoy every mile spent behind the wheel.
The Outlander equips a 2.5L 4-cylinder direct-injection engine that generates 181 horsepower and 181 lb-ft of torque. It’s paired with an 8-speed CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) that helps the engine work smarter, not harder. Want to take control into your own hands? With the standard paddle shifters and shift-by-wire technology, you can!
The Mitsubishi Outlander proves you can enjoy premium performance while still making the most of every drop in your tank. It competently balances power with fuel economy, yielding an EPA-estimated 24 city/31 highway MPG rating. So, you can continue moving forward, limiting how often you stop to refuel while keeping the pump in your rearview.
The Outlander’s Drive Mode Selector easily adjusts based on the road or weather conditions you encounter, so you’ll always feel in control. These five modes come standard:
- Eco
- Normal
- Tarmac
- Gravel
- Snow
All other trims after the base ES add a Mud drive mode that’s especially helpful when you venture off the pavement.
You’ll enjoy an even better ride and smoother handling regardless of terrain thanks to the Outlander’s retuned steering and updated suspension with recalibrated springs and shock absorbers for the latest model year.
The Mitsubishi Outlander furnishes an array of technologies. When the miles stretch far into the distance, it’s the best way to ensure everyone on board remains engaged and entertained. Additionally, it packs a variety of award-winning advanced driver-assistance systems to help keep you and yours safe.
Continuing its refresh, the Mitsubishi Outlander now equips a 12.3-inch Smartphone-link Display Audio screen with Navigation. Pair your device through standard wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ to access your preferred playlist or podcast and stay connected, even when you’re far from home. Multiple USB-C ports and voice recognition also come standard, with available wireless phone charging so your device remains fully powered without cords.
Every road trip deserves its own soundtrack, and you’ll enjoy an even more immersive listening experience in the Outlander now that every trim equips an 8- or optional 12-speaker Dynamic Sound Yamaha® Premium audio system. This partnership is Yamaha's first venture into the North American automotive audio market, further solidifying Mitsubishi as a trendsetter. You’ll delight in every note and syllable thanks to additional sound insulation that reduces road noise and vibrations.
Adding to your confidence in the Outlander is the range of standard technologies that help ensure your safety and that of everyone on board. They work along with your safe driving habits to offer proactive assistance when you're on the road:
- Forward Collision Mitigation with Pedestrian Detection
- Blind Spot Warning with Lane Change Assist
- Automatic High Beam Headlights
- Rear Cross Traffic Alert
- Rear Automatic Emergency Braking
- Driver Attention Alert
Meanwhile, available MI-PILOT Assist™ offers more peace of mind, using radar and cameras to control acceleration, steering, and braking. Serving as a virtual copilot, it uses Navi-link Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop & Go to adjust speed as necessary, along with Lane Keep Assist, Lane Departure Prevention, and Traffic Sign Recognition.
The Mitsubishi Outlander and the Toyota Highlander offer contemporary designs and share the spirit of adventure. Still, when you look beyond their impressive style to what drives them, you’ll find one model outperforms the other. With its greater fuel efficiency and more adept transmission, the Outlander proves it can go to the highlands, the lowlands, and everywhere in between—and more safely, too.

In comparing the Mitsubishi Outlander and the Kia Sorento, one SUV easily proves to be the superior people mover. It also has more drive modes to adapt more easily to changing road and weather conditions. Although both models come standard with 12.3-inch touchscreens, only the Mitsubishi Outlander includes Navigation.

While the Mitsubishi Outlander is road-ready, the Honda Pilot prefers the off-road. Although it’s large and in charge, the Pilot falls short as a daily driver. The Outlander’s smaller size takes on narrow city streets as easily as the open highway and makes on-street parking a breeze. Plus, you'll travel farther and longer in the Outlander—so which SUV would you rather pilot?
