2025 Mitsubishi Outlander preview: price, specs and release date in Australia
RACV
July 02, 2025
Mitsubishi has refreshed its popular Outlander mid-size SUV for 2025, introducing updated technology, enhanced safety features, and improved driving dynamics. But will these changes be enough to keep it competitive in Australia’s increasingly crowded family medium SUV market?
Currently the third best-selling SUV of 2025 behind the Toyota RAV4 and Toyota Landcruiser Prado, the Mitsubishi Outlander will be upgraded later this year to keep it competitive in the burgenoning medium SUV segment that features new arrivals including the BYD Sealion 7 and MG HS Super Hybrid, and next year’s new-generation Toyota RAV4 PHEV.
The Mitsubishi Outlander will continue to be available in five and seven-seat options, with pricing for the 2025 model year vehicles ranging from $39,990 to $57,990 plus on-road costs.
Specification and pricing for plug-in hybrid versions of the updated Outlander are expected to be announced by Mitsubishi soon.
In addition to a boosted sound system, additional vehicle technology and safety updates, Mitsubishi says significant upgrades have been made to the on-road feel of the Outlander through changes to some of its suspension components, recalibrated shock absorbers and a new steering tune for its electric power steering system. It says the ride is further enhanced by a new Bridgestone tyre fitted to the 2025 Outlander range.

How much does the 2025 Mitsubishi Outlander cost?
The 2025 Mitsubishi Outlander is available to order now from Australian dealers with pricing starting at $39,990 plus on-road costs.
The new Mitsubishi Outlander line-up retains the same model designations as outgoing models, so the range will be familiar to existing owners.
Also familiar to owners will be the existing 135kW 2.5-litre naturally-aspirated four-cylinder petrol engine paired with a continuously variable transmission (CVT).
Outlander ES, LS and Aspire grades are equipped with a choice of either front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, with the higher Exceed and Exceed Tourer grades exclusively the all-wheel drive set up.

What are the specifications of the 2025 Mitsubishi Outlander?
The latest updates to the Outlander bring a host of enhancements across the range. Mitsubishi Australia says each model, from the ES to the Exceed Tourer, has been upgraded to offer improved design, functionality, and comfort over the outgoing model.
The ES model now features updated front and rear bumper designs, a new 18” alloy wheel design, and an enhanced eight-speaker system.
The LS model boasts a machined finish on its 18” alloy wheels, the addition of Mitsubishi Connect, and a USB Type-C power socket in the rear console.
The Aspire model introduces 20” alloy wheels, black artificial leather upholstery, and advanced driver assistance features like Mi-Pilot.
The Exceed model offers luxurious touches such as quilted leather upholstery, ventilated and heated front seats, and a frameless interior rear-view mirror with a digital monitor.
The range-topping Exceed Tourer distinguishes itself with two-tone exterior paintwork, quilted Brick Brown leather upholstery, and massage front seats.

The 2025 Mitsubishi Outlander range has undergone design changes that Mitsubishi says improve both aesthetics and functionality. The exterior design has been streamlined and refined, with updates to the front and rear bumper sections and lower garnish, creating a modern look while improving aerodynamics.
The lighting has also been upgraded, with rear combination lamps featuring a 'smoke' clear outer lens and a 'black tone' inner, and LED rear turn lamps and reverse lamps. The side profile benefits from updated wheel designs, with 18-inch wheels on ES and LS models, and a 20-inch design fitted to Aspire, Exceed, and Exceed Tourer models.
Additionally, the interior has been redesigned to enhance driver and passenger comfort, with premium materials and improved ergonomics. More padding has been added to the second row to deliver greater support, which is welcomed as it is one of the criticisms we had from rear seat passengers when driving the previous generation Outlander.
Audiophiles will appreciate an upgraded sound system. Outlander model variants ES through to Exceed are equipped with a premium Yamaha system, featuring eight speakers. This two-way system features rear speakers that integrate woofers and tweeters into a single unit to accommodate a wider range of sound.
A premium Yamaha Ultimate system featuring a 12-speaker layout is available exclusively on the Exceed Tourer, and is inspired by Yamaha’s flagship NS-5000 speaker. Drivers can choose from four distinct ‘sound modes’: lively, signature, powerful and relaxing. In total, the system offers amplified power of 1650 watts.
Mitsubishi debuts new e-Call safety functionality
The updated Outlander range introduces several new technologies for the first time on Mitsubishi vehicles, all aimed at improving safety and convenience.
Mitsubishi Connect debuts in the LS grade and above, featuring key safety and security services such as e-Call, Automatic Collision Notification, Breakdown Assistance, Anti-theft Notification, Curfew Alert, Geo-fence Alert, Speed Alert, and Tow-away Notification.
The system also includes remote and convenience services like Remote Climate Sync, Remote Seat and Steering Wheel Heater, Remote Light/Horn operation, Remote Door Lock/Unlock, Door Lock Reminder, Vehicle Finder, Distance Tracker, Destination Send-to-Car, and Navigation to final destination.
The new 12.3-inch infotainment system promises higher resolution and an enhanced response rate. Wireless Apple CarPlay carries over, while wireless Android Auto debuts in the Outlander range.
Vehicle safety is enhanced with the introduction of refinements to the haptic brake warning, blind spot intervention and lane departure prevention systems.
