Why it stands out

The 2026 Mitsubishi Outlander stands out because it combines three-row seating with a compact-SUV footprint, something that has long helped the model carve out its own niche. For 2026, Mitsubishi also replaced the 2.5-liter four-cylinder with an all-new turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder paired with the brand’s first mild-hybrid system, giving the Outlander a more modern powertrain story than before. The trim lineup was reorganized as well, with a new LE trim added between the base ES and the mid-level SE, while the Ralliart returns.

That updated powertrain brings improved EPA ratings of 26/31 mpg city/highway and 28 mpg combined for front-wheel-drive models, or 26/30 mpg city/highway and 27 mpg combined with all-wheel drive. The Outlander also benefits from the fourth generation’s Nissan-based platform, a more substantial exterior presence, and a cabin that is more modern than the previous generation’s, with a larger infotainment touchscreen and an available digital instrument panel. Buyers looking for a family-friendly SUV may also appreciate that the third row is standard, even if the twin seats are notably small and best suited to children.

There are still tradeoffs. Performance has not been the Outlander’s calling card, and the model’s fuel-economy figures still fall short of the Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4 by about three mpg. The Outlander’s cabin is quiet for the most part, but the engine can be loud when worked hard, and Mitsubishi’s limited dealer network may make ownership less convenient than with some rivals.
