The updated petrol-powered Mitsubishi Outlander has received retuned steering and suspension, plus new equipment, but all members of the range are now at least $2000 pricier than before.
The refreshed mid-size SUV goes on sale locally from June.
Mitsubishi has yet to release local pricing and specifications for the updated Outlander PHEV lineup.

The Black Edition that slotted between the LS and Aspire is dead, while the Exceed and Exceed Tourer lose their third row of seating.
All petrol variants have subtly revised front fascia designs, new wheel designs, and smoked tail-light lenses with full LED lighting.
Inside, there’s a larger centre bin, cupholders that are now positioned along the length of the centre tunnel, and “higher quality materials” and “ornate interior stitching”. All interior lighting is now touch-capacitive LED, as well.
Gone are the 8.0 and 9.0-inch infotainment screens, as all variants are now equipped with a larger 12.3-inch touchscreen system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, plus three USB-C ports up front.
A 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster is now standard across the lineup, as are Yamaha-branded sound systems.
As we’ve previously reported, all 2025 petrol Outlanders are fitted with an Australian-developed steering and suspension package which has also been adopted for global markets.
There are recalibrated front and rear shock absorbers and a smaller-diameter front anti-roll bar, while the electric power steering mapping has been adjusted to improve on-centre feel and provide “a more linear response when turning”.
There are also new Bridgestone summer tyres, and there have also been updates to the chassis and body to reduce noise, vibration and harshness.
The petrol-powered Outlander range continues to come exclusively with a naturally aspirated 2.5-litre four-cylinder petrol engine and either front- or all-wheel drive.
There’s also a choice of five- or seven-seat configurations. Mitsubishi refers to the latter as a ‘5+2′ seating arrangement, evidently managing buyers’ expectations about the amount of space back there.
