The 2025 Mitsubishi Outlander is a three-row midsize SUV built to meet the demands of modern driving. It accommodates up to seven occupants and integrates core engineering advancements across powertrain, safety, and technology. The model is available in multiple trim configurations and offers several drivetrain options, making it adaptable to varying driving environments and use cases. Every design choice in the 2025 Mitsubishi Outlander reflects Mitsubishi’s focus on utility, efficiency, and mechanical reliability.

The powertrain of the 2025 Mitsubishi Outlander centers on a 2.5-liter MIVEC DOHC 4-cylinder engine. It produces 181 horsepower and 181 lb-ft of torque. The engine operates with direct injection and works in conjunction with a continuously variable transmission (CVT).
This engine configuration yields an EPA-estimated fuel economy rating of 24 miles per gallon in urban environments and 31 miles per gallon on highways in its standard front-wheel-drive layout.
Disclaimer: ⁴ 2024 EPA Fuel Economy Estimates: 24 City/31 Highway/27 Combined for Outlander ES, SE, SEL 2WD, 24 City/30 Highway/26 Combined for Outlander ES, SE & SEL S-AWC. Actual mileage may vary with driving conditions. Use for comparison only.
Mitsubishi’s Super All-Wheel Control (S-AWC) system is available on most trims. This drivetrain integrates multiple systems, including Active Yaw Control. It also incorporates an Active Center Differential and a series of drive modes tailored to different surfaces. These include Normal, Tarmac, Gravel, Snow, and Mud. Each mode modifies throttle response, transmission mapping, and brake-based torque vectoring to optimize traction and handling.

The 2025 Mitsubishi Outlander includes a full range of active and passive safety systems integrated through Mitsubishi’s proprietary driver-assistance platform. The Forward Collision Mitigation system uses radar and camera inputs to monitor vehicles and pedestrians ahead. Blind Spot Warning is combined with Lane Change Assist to alert the driver when adjacent vehicles are detected in less visible areas. Rear Cross Traffic Alert functions when reversing from parking spots and uses sensor-based inputs to detect laterally approaching traffic.
Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop & Go allows the 2025 Mitsubishi Outlander to maintain preset following distances and operate in stop-and-start traffic. This system is coordinated with Lane Keep Assist and Traffic Sign Recognition under the MI-PILOT Assist™ suite. Lane Keep Assist provides gentle steering inputs to help maintain lane position, while Traffic Sign Recognition captures and displays detected speed limits and road warnings in the driver’s instrument cluster.
The available multi-view camera system uses four exterior cameras to generate a composite image of the vehicle's surroundings. This top-down perspective assists with tight parking maneuvers and low-speed navigation in confined spaces. Rear Automatic Emergency Braking and Parking Sensors further enhance visibility and awareness during reverse operations.
The 2025 Mitsubishi Outlander is configured with three rows of seating as standard across all trims. It supports up to seven passengers. The second-row bench slides forward and backward and includes a reclining function to improve comfort or access to the third row. The third row folds flat into the cargo floor when not in use.
Materials and interior trim vary by configuration. Base models include durable fabric surfaces, while higher trims offer synthetic leather and optional semi-aniline leather with contrast stitching. Front seating is ergonomically designed, and available features include eight-way power adjustability with memory settings for the driver. Ventilated and heated front seats and heated rear seats are also available depending on trim.
Climate control is managed by a dual or tri-zone automatic system, ensuring individual settings for the driver, front passenger, and rear seat occupants. Airflow is evenly distributed throughout all seating rows through a network of ceiling- and floor-mounted vents.
The 2025 Mitsubishi Outlander includes a configurable 12.3-inch full digital instrument cluster on select trims. This display presents essential vehicle data such as speed, engine output, fuel economy, and advanced driver-assistance status indicators. Lower trims include a standard 7-inch driver information display integrated into the gauge panel.
The central infotainment unit is available in two sizes: an 8-inch standard touchscreen or an optional 9-inch navigation-enabled touchscreen. Both support wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ integration. Bluetooth® connectivity, voice recognition, and USB charging ports are standard across the lineup. A head-up display is available on select trims and projects key information onto the windshield in the driver’s line of sight.
Audio output is handled by either a standard six-speaker system or an optional premium Yamaha eight-speaker sound system. Satellite radio and HD Radio are supported on higher trims. An embedded navigation system with real-time traffic and weather data is included in the upgraded infotainment package.
The 2025 Mitsubishi Outlander is constructed with modular architecture that contributes to structural rigidity and reduced vibration transfer across the chassis. The exterior design includes LED headlights, daytime running lights, and taillights. Automatic high beam control is standard or available depending on trim.
Body dimensions place the 2025 Mitsubishi Outlander within the midsize category, with a wheelbase of 106.5 inches and an overall length of 185.4 inches. Ground clearance is approximately 8.3 inches in front-wheel drive configurations and 8.4 inches with all-wheel drive.
The power liftgate is available with hands-free functionality on upper trims. Roof rails are also available for carrying bikes, kayaks, or additional storage solutions.
