Mitsubishi Confirms Rugged Outlander Variant for FY2026 in North America

The move advances Mitsubishi's Momentum 2030 plan to broaden its North American lineup through electrification plus off-road capability.

Overview

  • Mitsubishi officially announced an off-road-focused Outlander arriving in Fiscal Year 2026 with dedicated bodywork, trail drive modes, performance upgrades, and unique interior materials.
  • The variant will feature an enhanced Super All-Wheel Control system, which the company links to engineering heritage from Dakar Rally and World Rally Championship programs.
  • The new model will launch alongside a previously confirmed battery-electric SUV for North America under the Momentum 2030 rollout.
  • Key details including the vehicle’s name, full technical specifications, pricing, and exact on-sale timing have not been released and will follow in future updates.
  • Media reports suggest the BEV could arrive in summer 2026 and note powertrain questions for the rugged Outlander, but Mitsubishi has not confirmed those specifics.
