2026 Mitsubishi Outlander

Outlander is Mitsubishi's three-row crossover (separate from Outlander Sport). Trade-offs: PHEV math only works if you plug in; third-row space is tighter than Pilot/Telluride-class competitors.

What's confirmed (EPA 2026)

• Outlander 2WD 1.5L: 28 mpg combined (26/31)
• Outlander 4WD 1.5L: 27 mpg combined (26/30)
• Outlander PHEV: 73 MPGe combined on electricity (47 kWh/100 miles); 27 mpg combined gas-only

Outlander Sport rows on the same EPA make page are a different DriveRevu catalog entry.

Practical notes

Gas 2WD leads non-PHEV efficiency. Cross-shop Sportage/Tucson, CR-V, and Rogue if you do not need three rows; Pilot/Telluride if third-row adults matter more.
