Mitsubishi has revealed an updated Outlander PHEV which, while receiving only minor cosmetic tweaks, features substantial changes under the skin. While only the PHEV has been revealed for now, Mitsubishi has said an update for the solely petrol-powered model will follow in 2025. The updated PHEV will enter production later this year and go on sale in Europe in March 2025.
Both models are expected in Australia in mid-2025, and Mitsubishi Motors Australia has flagged local market-specific information will be published in the coming months. 100s of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now. Get the experts on your side and score a great deal.

That’s largely due to a new 22.7kWh battery, replacing the 20kWh unit from the outgoing model, while a heat pump also boosts range. Mitsubishi says the larger battery can deliver continuous output 108 per cent higher than the previous unit.
It powers 85kW/255Nm front and 100kW/195Nm rear electric motors – the same power outputs as before – however Mitsubishi says the latter is more efficiently packaged thanks to an integrated motor control unit. The other key part of the Outlander PHEV’s powertrain is the 100kW/203Nm 2.4-litre four-cylinder engine under the bonnet.
