Overview

Written by automotive expertJared Gall

2/6/2026

One of just three vehicles in Mitsubishi's current portfolio, the2026 Outlander is unquestionably the brand's best model, even if it typically gets overshadowed by all-stars like the Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4. The Outlander boasts an attractive and spacious interior, comfortable seats and, unlike most of its competitors, a standard third-row seat. If you have the need for occasional seven-passenger seating but can't afford a bigger SUV, the Outlander could be a good choice. It also receives a new powertrain this year, which should enhance its appeal.

Edmunds spotlight: New engine for the 2026 Outlander

The 2026 Outlander looks identical to the 2025 model, but things have changed underhood. Where last year there was a non-turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine, now there is a turbocharged 1.5-liter four with mild hybrid assistance. It isn't a full hybrid system like the one that's available with the CR-V, but the new mild hybrid system does help slightly improve fuel economy. Mitsubishi says the new engine gets 28 mpg in combined city/highway driving, compared to 27 mpg from last year's engine. It also makes more torque, which should help the Outlander feel more responsive in low-speed city driving.

Competitors to consider

If you need a third row in an SUV this size, there are only two alternatives to the Outlander: the Kia Sorento and the Hyundai Santa Fe. Both have roomier back seats than the Mitsubishi. Among similarly sized two-row SUVs, the Volkswagen Tiguan offers surprising luxury touches like available massaging front seats, the Mazda CX-50 boasts an upscale cabin and engaging performance. If you're looking for improved mpg, consider the redesigned 2026 RAV4, which features a standard hybrid powertrain and achieves more than 40 mpg.

2026 Mitsubishi Outlander trim level differences

The 2026 Mitsubishi Outlander is a small SUV that seats seven thanks to a small third-row seat. It is available in six trim levels:ES,LE,SE,Ralliart,Trail Edition andSEL. All are powered by a turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine (177 horsepower, 207 lb-ft of torque) paired with a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT). Front-wheel drive is standard and all-wheel drive optional on most trim levels except the Ralliart and Trail Edition, which come with all-wheel drive.Compare the 2026 Mitsubishi Outlander trim levels in-depth.

Which Outlander trim does Edmunds recommend?

TheLE is a smart way to go to get the best value from the Outlander lineup. It comes with many of the features you'll really want from a small SUV, such as synthetic leather upholstery and a surround-view camera system, while keeping the price reasonable.

2023 Mitsubishi Outlander SEL 4dr SUV AWD (2.5L 4cyl CVT)

As others mentioned the HOOD!! The first week I had mine I thought the hitch wasn’t on good. I pulled over and it was fine. After going over 65 it shakes to were you think it’s going to fly off. I’ve gotten used to it, but it does have a recall on it!! Second issue is my led screen, sometimes I’ll be listen to music and the whole screen goes black, and after a few seconds it reboots … itself and turns back on!! Third issue I had to get the rack and pinion replaced after the first month because I had a thump in my stirring wheel. Fourth issue the mirror on the driver side 75% of the time it won’t pop back open unless I mess with the button inside. The dealership where I bought my outlander has promised to replace my hood for 11 month’s and I’m still waiting!! I’m actually thinking about trading mine in. For reference, I have the 2022 white diamond sel .
