“I have no issues with my vehicle. I enjoy driving it, feel comfortable in it, and it has everything I wanted. I do wish there was a sunroof.”
2019 Mitsubishi Outlander: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2019 Mitsubishi Outlander’s biggest change is a lineup-wide refresh aimed at making it look newer and feel quieter and more comfortable. It is not a full redesign.
About the 2019 Mitsubishi Outlander
3rd generation (2014-2020 U.S.), late-cycle refresh year.
Mitsubishi positions the Outlander as a practical family crossover built around versatility, road trips, and everyday utility. Its main appeal is simple: it offers real three-row seating in a compact footprint, useful cargo flexibility, heated front seats even low in the range, and available all-wheel drive. Compared with many rivals, the Outlander’s strongest hooks are its seven-passenger layout, value-focused equipment, and the option to move up to a more powerful GT for buyers who want stronger performance.
The 2019 Outlander remains a practical three-row crossover, with the ES covering the basics and the SE adding Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, power front seats, and a rear USB port. The SEL emphasizes comfort with leather-trimmed seats and a power liftgate, while the GT adds features such as LED headlights, premium audio, a heated steering wheel, and a multi-view camera.
What changed, by category
Styling
Every trim received revised grille and front-bumper details plus a new 18-inch wheel design. On the LE, roof rails changed from standard equipment to optional.
Tech
All trims gained redesigned front seats, rear-seat air vents, illuminated window switches, and an electronic parking brake. The SE added power-adjustable front seats, softer seat trim, and a rear USB port; the SEL and GT added a power front-passenger seat, upgraded leather trim, and a rear USB port. The GT also gained LED high-beam headlights.
Structural
Suspension and steering tuning was revised to improve ride comfort and handling feel, while added noise-reduction work made the cabin quieter.
