2020 Mitsubishi Outlander

2020 Mitsubishi Outlander: More standard safety features and interior upgrades enhance popular package

CYPRESS, Calif. – The intrepid and adventurous Mitsubishi Outlander enters 2020 with increased availability of driver assistance and safety equipment, new infotainment technology and small added luxuries that leave a big impression in an already-celebrated crossover utility vehicle (CÚV).
The Outlander is built with families, road-trips, versatility and utility in mind, as well as every potential trip in between. A practical and spacious CÚV body style mixed with angular, sleek and modern looks helps Outlander exude style and purpose. Coupled with Mitsubishi's legendary Super All-Wheel Control (S-AWC) all-wheel-drive system – developed on championship-winning rally and off-road racing vehicles to automatically distribute driving torque between the front and rear wheels – Outlander gets even better for 2020.




Drivers looking for a more exhilarating driving experience can upgrade to the GT trim, which is offered exclusively with a 3.0-liter V6 engine that delivers 224 horsepower at 6,250 RPM and 215 pound-feet of torque at 3,750 RPM. Paired with a conventional torque-converter six-speed automatic transmission, Outlander GT offers drivers the best combination of performance, fuel efficiency and rugged CÚV capability in one compelling and affordable package.

Úpdated Super All-Wheel Control for All-Season Confidence
All 2020 Outlanders are available with Mitsubishi's superior Super All-Wheel Control (S-AWC) all-wheel drive system. Driven by intelligent electronics, the system is revised for 2020.


The new lightweight S-AWC electronically distributes driving torque between front and rear wheels, along with Active Yaw Control (AYC). The new system offers enhanced tracking performance through cornering, and improves vehicle stability and steering response through the use of a yaw control sensor that precisely controls vehicle yaw rate by applying brake pressure on an inside wheel to pull the vehicle back into line for improved vehicle stability and dynamic composure.



Interior and Infotainment Refinements for a Better Driving Experience
All 2020 Outlanders come standard with three rows of seating, allowing for up to seven passengers to enjoy the journey. A three-person split bench seat in the middle and two fold-away independent rear seats give Outlander the flexibility to carry people and cargo in any number of configurations.

New for 2020, SE and above trims receive an updated eight-inch Smartphone-link Display Audio (SDA) system boasting redesigned graphics with a cleaner and more modern appearance. The new SDA screen, one-inch larger than last year, also features standard Apple CarPlay™5 and Android Auto™6 along with available SiriusXM®7 satellite radio compatibility.

A newly optional Mitsubishi Power Sound System (MPSS) replaces the previous Rockford Fosgate™ audio system. Boasting a total of eight speakers with sound elements carefully constructed from premium materials including titanium and aluminum, the MPSS delivers a crisper, naturally clear and more accurate sound experience. The previous rear subwoofer has been eliminated, ensuring that rear cargo space is maximized.

Drivers will also notice redesigned climate controls that feature new ergonomically designed knobs for temperature adjustments. The knobs allow for quicker and easier use while on the go and also feature a new Sync button that quickly syncs temperature settings across both driver and passenger sides of the vehicle.

All Outlander trims also receive a newly standard driver seat power lumbar adjustment for increased comfort during long-distance driving. Second row passengers are also treated to a redesigned seat shape and an additional ÚSB charging port in the rear console, bringing the total number of standard ÚSB ports throughout the vehicle to three.

Continued Commitment to Safety
Along with 2020 Outlander's expanded array of advanced driver assistance systems, it continues Mitsubishi's commitment to building safe and dependable vehicles, maintaining its Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) TOP SAFETY PICK winner8 status. In fact, Outlander has been rated a TOP SAFETY PICK or TOP SAFETY PICK+ since 2014, and the AWD variant has a five-star safety rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).

Fuel Economy and Efficiency
Front-drive four-cylinder Outlanders are rated at 25/30/27 city/highway/combined MPG9, while adding the S-AWC all-wheel drive drops the rating down to 24/29/26 MPG9. The top of the range GT trim with the V6 and standard S-AWC is rated at 20/27/22 MPG9.
