An updated Outlander is due soon with new technology, revised styling and an improved plug-in hybrid powertrain. The model to feature a “more refined and sophisticated” frontal treatment, revised colours and alloy wheels up to 20-inch and a “greatly improved” interior.

Here this month with variant-dependent upgrades including, from base ES, auto high beam, auto rear braking, rear cross traffic alert. All variants have enhanced luxury and safety specification. Priced from $55,490 + ORC.

A better PHEV but costs more at $54,590 to $68,490 +ORC in ES, Aspire, Exceed and Exceed Tourer. Updated 20kWh li-ion battery, electric traction motor and 2.4-litre petrol engine for 185kW and 450Nm. 

Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV is here mid-month with the smart new exterior, revised plug-in hybrid powertrain and extra features. A four model range spans $54,590 to $68,490+ORC.

Mitsubishi has slightly reduced the standard spec levels of its Outlander medium SUV’s ES, LS and Aspire variants and increased the asking prices of the Exceed and Exceed Tourer versions.

New from the ground up, the fourth-generation Outlander is designed to be a more desirable RAV4 rival while keeping its ‘lots of car for the money’ appeal.

Mitsubishi’s pioneering plug-in hybrid electric vehicle comes in for an update after the mainstream variants of the mid-size SUV range were treated to a wide-ranging MY20 overhaul in August.
