The 2026 Mitsubishi Outlander

The 2026 Outlander introduces a significant update under the hood. It is powered by a 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine paired with a mild-hybrid system. This advanced powertrain delivers approximately 177 horsepower and 207 lb-ft of torque, ensuring you have the acceleration needed for merging onto the Winters Freeway or passing on two-lane highways. The mild-hybrid technology smoothens the stop-start process, improving fuel economy during city driving in Abilene.

Power is managed by a responsive Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) that simulates gear shifts for a natural driving feel. For those seeking maximum traction, Mitsubishi’s legendary Super All-Wheel Control (S-AWC) is available. This system doesn't just react to wheel slip; it actively manages torque distribution to improve cornering and stability.

While the Outlander is refined for the street, it is ready for adventure.

• Towing Capacity: When properly equipped, the Outlander can tow up to 2,000 pounds, perfect for a small utility trailer or jet ski.

• Drive Modes: The Drive Mode Selector allows you to tailor the vehicle’s performance to the conditions. Modes include Tarmac, Gravel, Snow, Normal, Eco, and Mud (on S-AWC models).

• Ground Clearance: With 8.3 inches of ground clearance, you can confidently navigate rougher ranch roads or flash-flooded streets without worry.

Abilene drivers know that weather can change in an instant, from blistering heat to sudden ice storms. The Snow Mode on the S-AWC system adjusts throttle response and braking to maintain traction on slick overpasses, providing an extra layer of safety during our occasional winter freezes.

Step inside the 2026 Outlander, and you are greeted by an interior that rivals luxury brands. The cabin features high-quality materials, including available semi-aniline leather seating and genuine aluminum accents.

• Seating for Seven: The Outlander is the only vehicle in its class to offer three rows of seating as standard equipment. The second row slides and reclines, allowing you to balance legroom with cargo needs.

• Cargo Space: With all seats up, you have storage for groceries or sports gear. Fold the second and third rows flat, and you unlock nearly 64 cubic feet of cargo space, ideal for hauling furniture or camping equipment.

• Comfort: Dual-zone automatic climate control is standard, ensuring passengers stay cool during the Texas summer. Higher trims offer tri-zone control, heated front and rear seats, and even a heated steering wheel.

The 2026 Outlander commands attention with Mitsubishi’s signature Dynamic Shield front grille design. The high-mounted LED daytime running lights and low-mounted headlights create a distinct, modern look that improves visibility.

• Wheels: Available 20-inch two-tone alloy wheels give the SUV a planted, athletic stance.

• Convenience: A hands-free power liftgate with adjustable height settings makes loading cargo easy, even when your hands are full.

Technology in the 2026 Outlander is designed to keep you connected without distraction.

• Infotainment: An available 12.3-inch Smartphone-link Display Audio system sits high on the dash for easy viewing. It features wireless Apple CarPlay® and wireless Android Auto™, allowing you to access maps and music without fumbling for cables.

• Digital Driver Display: The available 12.3-inch full digital driver display replaces traditional gauges with a customizable screen that shows navigation, audio, and safety alerts directly in your line of sight.

• Audio: Music lovers will appreciate the available premium sound system, engineered to deliver concert-hall quality audio throughout the cabin.

Mitsubishi places a high priority on safety, equipping the Outlander with a suite of advanced driver-assist technologies.

• MI-PILOT Assist: This available system combines Adaptive Cruise Control with Lane Keep Assist to reduce driver fatigue on long highway drives, such as trips to Dallas or Midland.

• Standard Safety: Every 2026 Outlander includes Forward Collision Mitigation with Pedestrian Detection, Blind Spot Warning, and Rear Automatic Emergency Braking.

The base ES trim is value-packed, featuring the standard 7-passenger seating, 18-inch alloy wheels, and a suite of safety features like Blind Spot Warning. It includes the 8-inch display audio system and dual-zone climate control, making it a comfortable entry point.

Stepping up to the SE adds significant technology and convenience. You get the larger 20-inch alloy wheels, the 12.3-inch infotainment screen, and a wireless smartphone charger. It also includes the Multi-View Camera System, which provides a 360-degree bird's-eye view for easier parking.

The SEL trim brings luxury to the forefront. It features leather-appointed seating surfaces, memory settings for the driver's seat and mirrors, and heated rear seats. The interior ambiance is elevated with upgraded trim materials and tri-zone automatic climate control.

For drivers who want a bolder look and added protection, the Trail Edition is the perfect choice. It features exclusive 18-inch black alloy wheels, black hood graphics, and unique Trail Edition badging. Practical additions include black mud flaps, all-weather floor mats, and a rugged hood protector, making it ready for whatever the West Texas landscape throws your way.

The 2026 Mitsubishi Outlander redefines what you should expect from a compact SUV. With its premium interior, advanced mild-hybrid efficiency, and standard third-row capability, it is built to handle the diverse needs of Abilene drivers. Whether you are commuting to Dyess AFB or taking the family to the zoo, the Outlander gets you there in style and comfort.
