2025 Mitsubishi Outlander: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The biggest 2025 change is a mid-cycle refresh for the gasoline Outlander, bringing updated styling, a quieter cabin, revised steering and suspension, and Yamaha audio. The plug-in hybrid keeps its previous body and cabin design but gains more standard comfort features.
About the 2025 Mitsubishi Outlander
4th generation Outlander family; 2025 is the mid-cycle refresh year for the gasoline Outlander, while the Outlander Plug-in Hybrid stays on the pre-refresh body and cabin for one more year.
The 2025 Outlander family is Mitsubishi’s flagship compact SUV lineup. Its core identity is practical family transport with an upscale look, standard or available all-wheel-drive confidence, a long warranty, and a rare third row in this size class. The regular Outlander targets shoppers who want value and seven seats, while the Plug-in Hybrid keeps the same family-friendly shape but adds electric-first driving, standard AWD, and useful EV range for daily errands without giving up road-trip flexibility.
The 2025 lineup ranges from the straightforward, seven-seat ES to the comfort-focused SEL, which has leather seating, three-zone climate control and a panoramic sunroof. The new Trail Edition gives the gas Outlander a tougher look and standard all-wheel drive, while the Platinum Edition emphasizes premium cabin features. Plug-in-hybrid versions pair twin electric motors with all-wheel drive, and upper trims add features such as massage seats and a heated steering wheel.
