What's new for 2026 Mitsubishi Motors unveils 2026 lineup with major updates to flagship Outlander PHEV
The 2026 model year lineup features key updates in powertrain technology, electric driving range and de- sign. While the Outlander and Outlander PHEV lead the announcements with major upgrades, the Eclipse Cross and RVR evolve with refinements informed by customer preferences. With these updates to the Outlander family, Mitsubishi Motors continues to deliver on the commitments made in its five-year North American business plan, Momentum 2030, which outlines the launch of a new or significantly revised vehicle in Canada each year from 2025 to 2030. 2026 OUTLANDER PHEV Canada’s top-selling all-wheel drive plug-in hybrid SUV receives a mid-cycle refresh for 2026, with en- hancements based on feedback from customers, dealers and the automotive media. Similar to the mid-cycle refresh that debuted on the 2025 Outlander gasoline model, the 2026 Outlander
PHEV features a redesigned interior with improved sound insulation, new materials and colours, heat- ed and ventilated front seats, a redesigned centre console with larger-capacity armrest storage, new cupholders and a redesigned phone charger compart- ment. The updated model also includes Canadian- industry-exclusive Dynamic Sound Yamaha audio sys- tems with a 12.3” infotainment display screen. On the exterior, design changes include a revised grille, re- designed front and rear bumpers, new 18” and 20” wheel designs and darker tint rear taillights. The NOIR trim returns with enhanced design cues, comple- menting the refreshed three-row SUV. The Outlander PHEV is also equipped with a lar- ger-capacity battery that increases its all-electric driving range. Suspension and tire specifications have been revised to enhance steering response and ride quality, providing a more confident driving experience. The 2026 Outlander PHEV is expected to arrive in ear- ly 2026.
