Exterior
Mitsubishi has greatly redesigned the exterior of the Outlander, giving it a new dynamic front shield as well as wider stance and flatter roofline than the previous model. The SUV comes standard with 18-inch alloy wheels and offers available 20-inch two-tone alloy wheels. New full-LED headlights provide increased visibility, and high-stability rear lights call attention to the SUV’s width with its T-shaped ends.
Interior
The 2022 Outlander has seating for up to seven passengers in its three rows. Upper trim levels have an eight-way power-adjustable driver’s seat with a memory function and heating capability. These models also feature a four-way power-adjustable passenger’s seat and heated rear seats to keep your family members comfortable.
Available three-zone automatic climate control maintains everyone’s temperature preferences in the cabin, while an optional power panoramic sunroof lets more natural lighting inside. You can place items in 11.7 cubic feet of cargo room behind the third row or fold down the third row and 40/20/40 split second row to use up to 79.7 cubic feet.
Performance
The 2.5-liter MIVEC DOHC four-cylinder engine powers the Outlander, delivering 181 horsepower and 181 lb-ft of torque. It now incorporates new technologies like an electrically operated valve timing control system, that helps it reach an EPA-estimated 24 mpg in the city and 31 mpg on the highway. In addition, the SUV has six available drive modes and the Super All Wheel Control system for improved handling in different situations.

Additionally, the available Bose premium sound system adds 10 speakers to the interior.
