Performance & Capability

Under the hood of the 2026 Mitsubishi Outlander SE lies a sophisticated 1.5L I-4 gasoline direct injection engine. This DOHC, MIVEC variable valve control powerplant is equipped with an intercooled turbo, delivering a responsive 174HP that makes merging onto local highways effortless. The Front Wheel Drive system is paired with an advanced Automatic CVT featuring lock-up transmission and overdrive, ensuring smooth power delivery whether you are cruising toward the coast or navigating stop-and-go traffic.

Efficiency is a hallmark of this powertrain, offering an impressive 26 city / 31 hwy MPG. To further enhance your driving experience, the Outlander includes a selectable mode transmission and driver selectable drivetrain modes, allowing you to tailor the vehicle's response to the road conditions. The mechanical foundation is equally impressive, featuring an independent front suspension with struts and a multi-link rear suspension, providing a stable and comfortable ride over varied terrain. For those looking to maximize fuel economy during long lights, the Auto stop-start engine helps conserve regular unleaded fuel, while the aluminum engine block and cylinder head contribute to a lighter, more agile feel behind the wheel.

Technology & Connectivity

The interior of the Outlander SE is a hub of modern innovation, centered around a massive 12.3 inch primary display with touchscreen functionality. This interface houses the integrated navigation system with voice activation, ensuring you can find the quickest route through Clearwater, FL without ever taking your hands off the wheel. Connectivity is seamless thanks to smart device wireless mirroring and Bluetooth wireless audio streaming, allowing your favorite playlists and podcasts to follow you everywhere.

Drivers will appreciate the 7.00-inch gauge cluster display and analog instrumentation, which provide clear, real-time data including ECO feedback and an exterior temperature display. With 5 USB ports distributed throughout the cabin, every passenger can keep their devices charged, while the driver benefits from front wireless smart device charging. Managing your environment is simple with steering wheel mounted audio controls and voice activated audio, allowing you to interact with the AM/FM 12.3in Navigation with Smartphone-Link system naturally and safely while on the move.

Comfort & Interior

Step inside to find a cabin defined by premium materials and thoughtful ergonomics. The simulated suede and leatherette front seat upholstery offers a high-end feel that is both durable and stylish, complemented by a leather steering wheel and a leather and metal-look gear shifter. The 8-way power driver seat includes 2-way power lumbar support, ensuring long-distance comfort for those commuting from the northern reaches of the county.

The Outlander is a true family-hauler with a seating capacity of 7, featuring third-row split-bench seats that can manually fold into the floor when you need extra cargo room. Comfort is prioritized for everyone with dual-zone front climate control, rear under seat ducts, and rear console climate control ducts. Loading up for a day at the park is easier than ever with the Power Liftgate and keyfob trunk control. Additional touches like heated front seats, HomeLink garage door opener, and remote activated perimeter approach lighting ensure that every arrival and departure feels like a premium experience.

Safety & Driver Assistance

Safety is paramount in the 2026 Outlander, which comes equipped with a comprehensive suite of 10 airbags, including a front center airbag and a driver side knee airbag. Peace of mind comes standard with Forward Collision Mitigation (FCM) and Rear Automatic Emergency Braking, providing a second set of eyes in busy parking lots or heavy traffic. The Blind spot Lane Change Assist (LCA) and Lane Departure Prevention (LDP) work together to keep you centered and aware of your surroundings at all times.

Navigating tight spaces is simplified by the aerial view camera system, which utilizes front, rear, left, and right side cameras to provide a 360-degree perspective. For long highway stretches, the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) and Lane Keep Assist (LKA) offer partial automation to reduce driver fatigue. The vehicle also monitors your well-being with a driver attention alert and provides vital information through Traffic Sign Recognition. With 4-wheel disc brakes, ABS, and Electronic Stability Control, the Outlander is engineered to provide a secure and stable platform for your most precious cargo.

Exterior & Design

The exterior of the Outlander SE is finished in a sophisticated Graphite Gray, a monotone paint that highlights the vehicle's bold, athletic lines. The front fascia is defined by a black grille with chrome accents and LED low and high beam headlights, providing a modern signature look. A rear lip spoiler and 20-inch two-tone alloy wheels add a sporty flair, while the body-colored front and rear bumpers with metal-look rub strips provide a cohesive, upscale appearance.

Functional design elements include LED daytime running lights, LED front fog lights, and turn signal indicators in the door mirrors. The active grille shutters improve aerodynamics at speed, while deep tinted windows provide privacy and heat reduction for the Florida sun. The power folding, heated door mirrors are a practical addition for narrow parking spaces, and the rain sensing wipers ensure your visibility remains clear during sudden afternoon showers.
