It's better than RAV4 and CR-V until... 2026 Mitsubishi Outlander Review

#mitsubishi #outlander #toyota #rav4 The updated 2026 Mitsubishi Outlander swapped its 2.5L four cylinder engine for a 1.5L turbo four mild hybrid setup. Here's where the vehicle excels and where it falls short. New Mitsubishi-designed and -developed mild-hybrid powertrain debuts, Mitsubishi Motors’ first-ever US mild-hybrid. 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine matched to a 48-volt battery. Alongside Outlander Plug-in hybrid, all Mitsubishi Outlander models are now electrified, a key tenet of the brand’s Momentum 2030 business plan. 2026 model carries over extensive updates to interior that were new for MY2025, addressing customer requests for materials, revised controls, updated cupholders. Also carried over into 2026 are exterior updates highlighted by striking 18” and 20” wheel designs, updated front grille and bumper, plus revised rear taillights. Updated steering, suspension tuning highlight drivability feel and confidence behind the wheel. Industry-exclusive to North America, two distinct Yamaha® audio systems are class-leading in audio quality and music reproduction. Available in front-wheel drive and Super-All Wheel Control all-wheel drive configurations. Industry leading warranty and included maintenance continue to highlight outstanding value proposition. Trim levels for the U.S. market are ES, new-for-2026 LE, SE and SEL. Additionally, Black Edition, Trail Edition and RALLIART models add trim-specific colors, features and options. 00:00 - 2026 Outlander 00:27 - New Engine 01:26 - Walkaround 02:24 - Cargo / 3rd row 03:38 - 2nd Row seats 04:28 - Cockpit 07:33 - What's it like to drive 15:48 - Cross-Shopping 18:29 - Final GRADE 💡Use promo “KIRK” for -20% on LASFIT LSplus brightest headlights: https://lddy.no/1o5di ⚡️Buy my Level 2 EV Charger: https://amzn.to/4h2dyY2 🚗Buy my Car and Driveway Power Washer: https://amzn.to/45bCwjK 🚗Buy my Car Vacuum: https://amzn.to/4dWmdtB 🚗Buy my Car Dryer: https://amzn.to/3TcaoWn 📷 Buy my Camera: https://amzn.to/3ONQ9NS 🎥 Buy my BIG Camera: https://amzn.to/43lhk71 👣Like my daily drivers?
