Key Features of the 2026 Mitsubishi Outlander

7-Passenger Seating

Three rows with room for up to seven passengers transform the Outlander into a flexible people mover without sacrificing everyday comfort. The 40:20:40 split-folding second row makes it easy to accommodate longer items down the center while keeping outboard seating available. Rear seat air vents and dual- or tri-zone climate functionality help keep everyone comfortable, while clever storage throughout the cabin keeps small essentials within reach. With up to 64.3 cubic feet of cargo space behind the front seats and 10.9 cubic feet behind the third row, you can configure the interior to support school pickups, grocery runs, and weekend sports gear. The layout prioritizes clear sightlines and intuitive control placement, reinforcing the Outlander’s focus on usability and family comfort.

1.5L MIVEC Turbo with 48V-BSG

Under the hood, a 1.5L MIVEC DOHC turbo 4-cylinder with direct injection and a 48V-BSG mild hybrid system balances confident acceleration with refined efficiency. This advanced powertrain delivers 174 hp and 206 lb-ft of torque, providing smooth response around town and steady passing power on the highway. The mild hybrid assistance helps sharpen low-speed pickup and supports smoother stop-and-go transitions. Paired with a continuously variable transmission (CVT) tuned for day-to-day drivability, the Outlander feels composed and predictable, whether you are navigating tight parking lots or merging onto a busy freeway. For drivers who want fuel-sipping manners without giving up usable torque, this engine setup hits the sweet spot.

Super All-Wheel Control (S-AWC)

Available S-AWC brings Mitsubishi’s rally-bred know-how to your daily drive, working to optimize traction, stability, and steering feel across changing conditions. The system coordinates power delivery and braking to help you stay on your intended path, while selectable drive modes tailor vehicle behavior to your route. Depending on configuration, modes such as Tarmac, Gravel, Snow, Normal, Eco, and Mud can adjust throttle mapping and torque distribution to suit your surface. The result is a confident, composed ride during rain-soaked commutes, gravel pull-offs, and snowy mornings alike. Ground clearance around 8.3 inches adds reassurance on rutted roads and steep driveways, further enhancing the Outlander’s all-weather capability.

Dynamic Sound Yamaha® Ultimate

For music lovers, the available Dynamic Sound Yamaha® Ultimate system is a standout. Co-developed with Yamaha® Sound Meisters, this immersive setup leverages concert-hall acoustic insights to deliver remarkable clarity and depth. A 12-speaker layout includes three 90mm midrange units positioned atop the dash to present vocals and instruments with lifelike presence. Dual amplifiers split duties between low and mid/high ranges with fully digital transmission for clean, accurate fidelity. Extensive door-panel damping and reinforcement help suppress extraneous vibrations, yielding more expressive bass and a quieter cabin backdrop. Intelligent volume features include Speed Compensated Volume as well as Rain and Air-Conditioner Compensated Volume on select systems, ensuring sound remains balanced as conditions change. With multiple Listening Position options and sound modes, every seat can feel like the best seat in the house.

360° Multi-View Camera System

Navigating tight spaces becomes easier with the available 360° Multi-View Camera System. By stitching together camera feeds, the Outlander presents a top-down perspective that clarifies curbs, lines, and obstacles, making parking garages and parallel spaces less stressful. Complementary driver assists such as Rear Automatic Emergency Braking (Rear AEB), Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA), and available parking sensors contribute to a calm, controlled experience in close quarters. For families juggling drop-offs or drivers frequently parking in crowded lots, this system adds tangible convenience to daily life, reducing guesswork and enhancing situational awareness at low speeds.
