2014 Mitsubishi Outlander: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 13, 2026
The 2014 Mitsubishi Outlander is an all-new, third-generation model. Its full redesign brought a lighter body, a quieter cabin, standard seating for seven, and new driver-assistance technology.
About the 2014 Mitsubishi Outlander
3rd generation, first U.S. model year after a full redesign.
Mitsubishi positioned the 2014 Outlander as a compact family crossover that offered something many rivals did not: standard three-row seating in a relatively small, fuel-conscious package. The core pitch was practical everyday use with a lighter body, better efficiency, a quieter cabin, and strong safety engineering, plus Mitsubishi all-wheel-drive capability on upper trims. In this class, its clearest difference was seven-passenger flexibility without moving up to a much larger SUV.
Mitsubishi positioned the ES as a practical seven-seat crossover, while the SE added everyday comforts such as heated front seats, a touchscreen, a rearview camera, and push-button start. The GT was the stronger, more upscale version, pairing a V6 with standard all-wheel drive, HID headlights, and rain-sensing wipers.
What changed, by category
Powertrain
The ES and SE received a revised 2.4-liter four-cylinder and continuously variable automatic transmission setup, while a driver-selectable ECO mode became standard across the lineup. Mitsubishi’s S-AWC all-wheel-drive system also joined the mid-level SE; the V6-powered GT used it as standard.
Styling
The Outlander received an all-new body and a redesigned cabin with softer-touch materials, less interior noise, and easier-to-fold second- and third-row seats.
Safety
Adaptive cruise control, forward-collision mitigation, and lane-departure warning debuted as optional driver aids on higher trims.
Tech
The SE and GT gained a standard 6.1-inch touchscreen and rearview camera. The SE also included passive entry and push-button start.
Structural
A new platform and body cut more than 200 pounds and reduced aerodynamic drag by about 7 percent. Seven-passenger seating became standard on every trim.
