Pricing announced for updated Outlander ICE range

MITSUBISHI Motors Australia Limited (MMAL) has detailed the latest round of updates to its popular Outlander SUV range, the MY25 facelift adding important technology styling, and suspension changes from $39,990 plus on-road costs – or between $2250 and $2950 more than before depending on grade.

On sale from June, the 2025 Mitsubishi Outlander range features a localised ride, handling and steering tune that sees changes to the vehicles EPS mapping and new suspension components – including front and rear shock absorbers, a smaller diameter front anti-roll bar – designed to complement a newly specified Bridgestone tyre package.

Further changes see updates to reduce noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH), including a new isolator for the transmission tunnel and a steel bonnet among 18 structural points amended to “address and enhance the passenger experience”.

Outlander passengers are also likely to enjoy the model’s newly adopted Yamaha Dynamic Sound system available in two package grades across the range: the higher-end package offering 1650 watts of power for a “greater immersive experience”.

Visually, the updated Outlander is characterised by what MMAL calls a “more streamlined presence”. It says, “both the front and rear sections have been updated with particular attention paid to the bumper sections and lower garnish, creating a modern look while improving aerodynamics”.

The revision also sees the Outlander updated to offer smoked tail-lights alongside LED rear indicators and reversing lights.

Other exterior changes include updated alloy wheel designs ranging from 18-inches in diameter on ES and LS grades, to 20-inches on Aspire, Exceed, and Exceed Tourer.

Paint colours include White (solid), Cosmic Blue (pearlescent), Graphite Grey and Sterling Silver (metallic), or Black, Red or White Diamond (prestige) finishes.

Aspire and Exceed grades are further available in Moonstone Grey (prestige), while Exceed Tourer variants are offered in two-tone White Diamond, Moonstone Grey, or Graphite Grey with a contrasting Black Mica roof, or Black Diamond with a Sterling Silver roof.

Moving back inside the cabin, we find a newly revised centre console with improved armrest and more spacious storage bin, and further back new second-row seat padding to improve support.

Further, MMAL says the five- or seven-seat Outlander cabin features “higher quality materials” throughout with “ornate stitching being a particular highlight”, noting that all over headlighting is now of the touch-capacity activated LED type.

Interior trim options see the ES and LS grades continue with black cloth, the Aspire with Granlux artificial leather, the Exceed with leather in black or grey, and the Exceed Tourer in Brick Brown premium semi-aniline leather.

Important technological additions (fitted to LS grades and above) include Mitsubishi Connect app functionality with SOS emergency assistance, automatic collision notification, break-down assistance, anti-theft notification, curfew alert, geofencing alert, speed alert, and tow-away notifications.

Remote convenience features include app-based climate control synchronisation (including schedular and start function), remote start and steering wheel heater (where fitted), remote light and horn operation, remote lock/unlock, door lock reminder, vehicle finder, dtance tracker, destination send-to-car, navigation to destination, account assistance, and Google Maps.

The changes come as part of a broader on-board technology update that now sees the Outlander fitted with 12.3-inch instrumentation and infotainment screens, an updated (larger) wireless device charging pad, wireless Android Auto connectivity (in addition to already standard wireless Apple CarPlay), and additional USB-C outlets.

Added safety technologies include refinements to the Outlander’s haptic brake warning, blind spot intervention, and lane departure prevention systems on top of added or improved driver monitoring system, camera-link rear automatic braking, 360-degree camera technology, frameless interior rear-view mirror with digital monitor (Exceed and Exceed Tourer only), and traffic sign recognition with active cruise control and speed limiter link.

All Mitsubishi Outlander petrol models continue to be powered by Mitsubishi’s 2.5-litre four-cylinder engine producing 135kW of power and 244Nm or torque. A continually variable transmission features as standard in conjunction with front- or all-wheel driveline configuration.

MMAL quotes a combined cycle fuel consumption number of between 7.5- and 8.1 litres per 100km depending on variant.

As before, all Outlander variants are covered by Mitsubishi’s 10-year/200,000km new vehicle warranty with 10-year capped-price servicing schedule and up to four years’ complimentary roadside assist.

“The current generation Mitsubishi Outlander is a proven sales success, with regular appearances in the top five on the Australian vehicle sales charts,” said MMAL chief executive officer Shaun Westcott.

“With an expansive range designed to suit Australian adventures, the Outlander has been a hit with customers, and we expect that the significant enhancements delivered by the updated 2025 Outlander range will build further on this success.

“We are also extremely proud of the part Australia has played in the new Outlander’s development.

“Our research and development team’s collaboration with head office has resulted in improved steering and suspension performance for this market. In fact, the improvements to ride, handling and NVH have been so profound that this collaborative work has been adopted for Outlanders worldwide.”

The Mitsubishi Outlander remains one of the best-selling vehicles in the SUV Medium under $60K category, placing second in terms of year-to-date sales only to the Toyota RAV4.

MMAL has notched up 8807 sales of the Outlander to the end of April to Toyota’s 17,610 RAV4 sales. Third place in the segment goes to the Kia Sportage with 7301 unit sales ahead of the evergreen Mazda CX-5 (7145 units) and fifth place Nissan X-Trail (6176 units).

MMAL says pricing for the Outlander PHEV will be announced before the end of next month.
