Engine and Performance
The Outlander’s standard 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine delivers 181 horsepower and 181 lb-ft of torque, combined with a CVT transmission. Buyers can choose between two-wheel and all-wheel drive options.

The four-wheel-drive version features Mitsubishi’s Super All-Wheel Control (S-AWC) system, enhancing driving stability and handling. An adaptable Drive Mode Selector offers six modes—Eco, Normal, Tarmac, Gravel, Snow, and Mud—helping drivers handle various terrains confidently. The vehicle achieves an impressive 27 mpg combined fuel efficiency, making it economical for daily use.

To boost comfort, Mitsubishi has integrated a new suspension system with lightweight aluminum components and anti-vibration support, ensuring a smoother, quieter ride suitable for older passengers.

Seniors will appreciate the straightforward interface with physical knobs, Bluetooth connectivity, Bose premium audio, and options for wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Additional features include a head-up display and accessible charging ports.

Passenger safety is a top priority, with the Outlander equipped with advanced driver assistance systems such as blind spot detection, rear emergency braking, lane departure warning, and forward collision mitigation with pedestrian detection.
