Mitsubishi Australia has outlined the local specifications of its inbound 2026 Outlander PHEV, with the familiar line-up being retained but comprehensively upgraded.  

Top of the list of changes are the new 22.7kWh lithium-ion battery pack and localised chassis tune, the former extending the outlander plug-in hybrid’s (PHEV) claimed electric range from 84km (ADR) to a much handier 105km.

The new chassis set-up meantime sees the spring, damper and steering calibrations finely tuned in South Australia to provide significantly improved ride-handling characteristics. 

Subtle changes have also been made to the exterior design in tandem with a revised centre console and upgraded (12.3-inch) infotainment system. 

Headline equipment on the entry-level ES includes an eight-speaker Yamaha sound system, cloth upholstery, climate control engine start system, connected service, driver monitoring, an auto-dimming frameless rear-view mirror, top-view camera, 18-inch alloy wheels, and wireless smartphone mirroring. 

The better-equipped Aspire adds a five-plus-two seating arrangement, black ‘Granlux/PVC’ upholstery, heated front seats and steering wheel, lane keep assist, touch sensor steering vibration, traffic jam assist, and 20-inch alloy wheels. 

Above that, the Exceed reverts back to a five-seat configuration, leather upholstery, frameless digital monitor and ventilated front seats. 

Flagship Exceed Tourer-buyers meantime will get all of that, plus a 12-speaker Yamaha Ultimate sound system, brown semi-aniline premium leather upholstery, and massaging front seats. 

All new Outlanders – petrol and PHEV – gain steel bonnets and fenders in the name of noise, vibration and harshness (NVH), plus some extra sound-proofing to enhance the medium SUV’s refinement. 

Pricing of the new model will be announced in the coming months, but until then, the current version starts from $57,290 plus on-road costs (ORCs) – outside of any promotions – and tops out at $73,790 for the swansong GSR.

Despite the new battery, no changes have been announced for the 2.4-litre four-cylinder petrol engine or the two electric motors it teams with. However,?Mitsubishi?Europe quoted a power increase of “approximately 20 per cent” over the current model (185kW/450Nm) last year, pointing to a possibly revised system output of about 222kW.
