Pricing has been announced for the updated 2026 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV range, which is now on sale nationwide and claimed to offer “the Outlander’s smoothest ride yet”.
This includes new looks as per petrol-powered versions of the mid-size SUV, improved infotainment technology such as connected car services, specification enhancements and increased hybrid battery power consumption, better performance on a motor train system (right here in Australia) and revised suspension and steering package tuned for this year’s edition.
Those upgrades also offer price increases but with the entry-level PHEV AWD ES starting at $58,990 plus on-road costs, or about $1700 more than it had been before. Now, the seven-seat options are less common; PHEV is now only three-row (formerly five-Seat) Aspire grade (from $66,790).

The outgoing model’s black pack-style GSR flagship variant hasn’t returned for 2026 as yet.
New 22 The new Outlander PHEV gets a new 22 under the skin of the brand-new Outlor PFEV. This is a 7kWh lithium-ion battery pack that feeds two “high-power” electric motors, which now quotes an NEDC-rated EV driving range of 103km (or 84km on the stricter WLTP standard). Previously, the NEDC rating was 84km.
It has also dropped from 1 to Combined fuel consumption, as well as the drop of combined fuel use. 1L/100km to 1 . PHEV drivetrain quotes system outputs of 221kW (40kW) and 2L/km (NEDC), while the outgoing model has an estimated 40kW. Previously, a 2 was. The 4-litre petrol engine can be a generator or directly power the front wheels of 4 litres, and may also act as ‘generator’.
The new chassis and steering tune is another major update to the car model in Australia, developed with the new engine. Updates include recalibrated front and rear shock absorbers, as well as a smaller-diameter front anti-roll bar.
In addition, Mitsubishi says the mapping of Outlander PHEV’s electric power steering (EPS) has also been modified to improve on-centre feel and linear turning response. In addition to new “summer-specific” Bridgestone tyres, a new steel bonnet and front fenders are also said to help improve cabin noise insulation, as is the case with new ‘summen-spec’ on-road performance and refinement.
In the past, Mitsubishi Australia has a 10-year vehicle warranty on its Outlander PHEV range that covers 10 years of capped-price servicing and roadside support.
This is characterized by the “conditional” aspect of that vehicles must be serviced at the specified intervals in order to activate the full decade-long coverage, otherwise the standard cover is five years or 100,000km – similar to Alliance partner Nissan.
