Overview

Mitsubishi Outlander at a glance

Quick model context before comparing photos and trim-level specifications.

The fourth-generation Mitsubishi Outlander is built on the CMF-C/D platform developed by the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi alliance, which it shares with the Nissan Rogue. Despite sharing underpinnings, the Outlander distinguishes itself by offering a third row of seats, providing a passenger capacity of up to seven. Compared to its predecessor, the vehicle is slightly larger, measuring 4,709 mm in length with a 2,705 mm wheelbase, representing increases of 15 mm and 35 mm respectively. The lineup includes a standard 2.5-liter gasoline engine as well as a plug-in hybrid variant. The hybrid setup uses a 2.4-liter engine acting as a generator to feed a 20 kWh battery, powering two electric motors on the front and rear axles. This generation focuses on moving the model upmarket, offering improved cabin materials, updated electronic controls, and a wider range of driver assistance systems.

Model guide

Mitsubishi Outlander overview

Editorial context for design, cabin, performance, practicality, and buyer notes.

Design

The exterior design of the 2021 Outlander maintains visual brand identity through the signature Dynamic Shield front grille. However, the rest of the body features altered proportions and updated body panels. Key design details include a split-level front headlight arrangement, where the main lighting elements are positioned lower on the bumper, and more prominent side contours. The rear features thin taillights and a standard roof spoiler. Buyers can choose between 18-inch alloy wheels on lower trims and 20-inch wheels on higher-tier versions. A panoramic sunroof is also available on top-tier trims, while a standard ground clearance of 205 mm provides typical crossover utility.

Interior

Inside, the 2021 Outlander shares its dashboard architecture, climate control interface, and electronic gear selector layout with the Nissan Rogue. It features either an 8-inch or 9-inch central infotainment touchscreen alongside an optional 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster that replaces traditional analog dials. The cabin accommodates up to seven passengers across three rows, with the second row offering a 40/20/40 split-folding configuration. Comfort features vary by trim level, ranging from dual-zone to three-zone automatic climate control, heated front and rear seats, and ventilated front seats. High-grade models come equipped with leather upholstery, a wireless phone charger, and a premium audio system, available with either eight speakers from Yamaha Premium or 12 speakers from Yamaha Ultimate.

Performance

The primary engine for this Outlander is a 2.5-liter four-cylinder atmospheric gasoline engine (PR25DD) producing 184 horsepower and 245 Nm of torque. It is paired exclusively with a Jatco CVT transmission, sending power to either the front wheels or all four wheels. Alternatively, the hybrid version utilizes two electric motors, with the front motor generating 116 horsepower and the rear motor producing 136 horsepower. A 2.4-liter atmospheric gasoline engine generates electricity to charge the 20 kWh battery, which provides an electric range of 83 to 87 kilometers under the WLTC cycle. All-wheel-drive models feature an updated Active Yaw Control (AYC) system that uses brake vectoring on both axles to optimize power distribution.

Practicality

The Outlander is designed for family utility, offering standard three-row seating for up to seven passengers, though a five-seat layout is also possible. Its overall length of 4,709 mm and wheelbase of 2,705 mm contribute to cabin space, while the trunk capacity stands at 331 liters. For everyday convenience, the second-row seats can fold in a 40/20/40 split to accommodate longer items. Higher trims feature a hands-free power tailgate. A 205 mm ground clearance helps navigate uneven roads, and the fuel tank capacity of 55 liters supports a reasonable driving range.

Safety and tech

Technology upgrades in the 2021 Outlander focus heavily on driver assistance systems. Available safety equipment includes adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, lane departure warning, and blind-spot monitoring. The vehicle also offers a 360-degree camera system, forward collision mitigation, and rear cross-traffic alert. For parking convenience, front and rear parking sensors are paired with a rear automatic braking system that stops the vehicle if an obstacle is detected. A head-up display and an auto-dimming rearview mirror further support driver convenience and safety on the road.

Buyer notes

When choosing between trims, buyers should compare the front-wheel-drive Business model with the all-wheel-drive Intense and Ultimate configurations. The entry-level Business trim offers dual-zone climate control, 18-inch wheels, and essential safety systems, but lacks advanced active safety features. Moving up to the Intense trim adds all-wheel drive, three-zone climate control, active cruise control, leather seats, and wireless charging. The top-tier Ultimate trim adds premium touches like 20-inch wheels, ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, a panoramic sunroof, a 12-speaker audio system, and a 360-degree camera system. Exact specifications and feature availability can vary by market.
