Mitsubishi Motors North America has announced the upcoming release of the 2026 Outlander Plug-in Hybrid — a mid-cycle refresh of its flagship electrified SUV — which is scheduled to arrive in U.S. dealerships in early May. Its starting price is just above $43,000.
The 2026 Outlander Plug-in Hybrid introduces a larger 22.7-kilowatt-hour battery that, combined with an enhanced cooling system and improved thermal management, delivers a 45-mile all-electric range and increases total system horsepower to nearly 300. The vehicle also benefits from a retuned suspension and revised steering for a more dynamic driving feel, while exterior modifications include a redesigned front grille, updated bumpers, new LED lighting throughout, and striking new wheel designs in both 18- and 20-inch sizes.
Inside, the cabin features upgraded seating surfaces with cooled front seats on certain trims, redesigned cupholders, an enlarged armrest storage area, a reconfigured phone charging pad, and the option of either an eight or twelve-speaker Yamaha audio system.
