2025 Mitsubishi Outlander Facelift and New Ralliart Variant Expected Soon

Reports from Japan indicate that the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV mid-size SUV is set for a significant update, with changes expected to arrive in Australian showrooms by early 2025.

Images from a Mitsubishi dealer event suggest the facelift will include a new front grille with 'active' shutters to enhance aerodynamics and new 20-inch alloy wheels, replacing the current Bridgestone Ecopia tyres with a different brand for production models.

The interior of the updated Outlander PHEV will reportedly feature a 12.3-inch center screen, an upgrade from the current 8.0- and 9.0-inch displays, along with an auto-dimming rear-view mirror and heated seats that also offer cooling functions. A new dark brown seat color will be introduced, and the Bose audio system will be replaced by a Yamaha setup for the Exceed, Exceed Tourer, and GSR models.

There are no reported changes to the 2.4-litre petrol engine, electric motors, or 20.0kWh battery pack, though a battery size increase is speculated to extend the electric-only range to 100km. This update aligns with Mitsubishi's plans to expand its local showroom lineup, including more SUVs and a new Triton ute, by the end of the decade.

In addition to these updates, reports from Japanese sources like BestCar and Creative311 suggest a new 285kW Ralliart variant may be introduced. This performance model could feature a tri-motor plug-in hybrid powertrain, providing significant power and incorporating Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution levels of Active Yaw Control.

The facelifted Outlander is also expected to feature smaller headlights, revised front and rear ends, and slimmer tail lights. Upper-spec trims might include seat ventilation for the first time, and chassis refinements are anticipated to address ride quality concerns noted by Australian reviewers.

Currently, the Outlander plug-in hybrid uses a 2.4-litre petrol engine combined with two electric motors to generate 185kW and 450Nm. The petrol-only model offers 135kW and 244Nm from a 2.5-litre engine. The potential Ralliart variant could add an extra electric motor for enhanced torque vectoring, firmer suspension, and performance-oriented features.

Mitsubishi Motors Australia has not confirmed any updates for the local market, with minor tweaks to the MY24 models currently available.
