New Mitsubishi Outlander priced for Australia: popular RAV4 rival detailed ahead of mid-2025 release

---

Mitsubishi has confirmed pricing and specifications for its updated Outlander midsize SUV ahead of its official release this June.

The midlife facelift for the Outlander has focused more on building equipment levels with a new Yamaha stereo system and an Australian-developed steering and suspension tune to improve the driving experience, following consistent feedback from buyers and Chasing Cars.

As before, the Outlander range kicks off with the front-wheel-drive ES, with a new entry price of $39,990 before on-road costs – an increase of $2250.

Front- and all-wheel-drive options are available for the ES, LS and mid-spec Aspire, while the Exceed and Exceed Tourer are AWD only, with the latter setting the price ceiling at $57,990.

Price increases between $2050 and $2950 (RRP) have been seen across the range, with pricing for the plug-in hybrid models expected to follow shortly.

The Outlander has emerged as a strong seller in Australia, with the midlife update designed to help it compete against the updated Toyota RAV4 and accomplished rivals like the Hyundai Tucson and Nissan X-Trail.

All petrol Outlander models continue to be sold with a 2.5-litre naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine producing 135kW/244Nm, a drivetrain which Mitsubishi says is more hushed than in the pre-facelifted model following improvements to the CVT transmission.

Yamaha stereo joins the lineup

Mitsubishi has updated the stereo of the Outlander to a Yamaha-sourced system, with an eight-speaker system known as ‘Dynamic Sound Yamaha Premium’ fitted on lower grades and a 12-speaker arrangement known as ‘Dynamic Sound Yamaha Ultimate’ on the top-spec Exceed Tourer.

Improved sound isolation and enhanced audio quality headline the improvements to Mitsubishi’s revised Yamaha sound system. Mitsubishi attributes a revised cabin integration of its new sound system as the key advancement over outgoing models. 

The range topping Mitsubishi Outlander Exceed Tourer exclusively gains a new 12-speaker ‘Dynamic Sound Yamaha Ultimate’ system, with new sub-woofer, dual amplifiers and Yamaha’s ‘Digital Signal Processor’, which improves audio quality through real time audio digitisation and enhancement. Mitsubishi claims a total audio system output capability of 1650 watts.

Claimed driving experience improvements

While the changes on the outside are largely minimal, Mitsubishi Australia says it’s a different story under the skin, with the local arm investing considerably into improving the driving experience of the updated midsize SUV.

The shock absorbers have been recalibrated at both the front and rear, the anti-rollbar swapped out, and the wheels wrapped in an updated Bridgestone summer tyre. 

Mitsubishi says a new tune has also been applied to the steering rack, and general NVH (noise, vibration and handling) improvements made throughout the SUV, thanks to changes such a steel bonnet to reduce noise and structural improvements made to the chassis.
