Mitsubishi Outlander 2026 review Australia: Toyota RAV4-rivalling family SUV now better to drive!

Is the 2026 Mitsubishi Outlander the best-value family SUV on the Australian market? In this detailed CarsGuide review, we take the updated Outlander through its paces to see how it stacks up in terms of practicality, fuel economy, and tech.

With now-locally tuned steering and suspension, tweaked exterior styling and more cabin refinement across the range, the Outlander aims to compete with top players like the Toyota RAV4 and Mazda CX-5.

We assess its performance on Aussie roads, from urban traffic to open highways. In a future review, we'll explore whether the plug-in hybrid variant still delivers strong efficiency without compromising drivability. With its optional seven-seat layout and improved infotainment, does the Outlander finally tick all the boxes for growing families?

If you're considering a mid-size SUV in 2026, our expert insights on the Outlander's comfort, build quality and pricing will help you make an informed decision. Watch the full review for our honest verdict.
