The 2025 Outlander carries Mitsubishi’s signature Dynamic Shield design language, giving it a strong presence on the road. The front fascia is dominated by a wide black grille with chrome accents, flanked by sharp LED headlights and slim daytime running lights. From the side, smooth flowing lines and muscular wheel arches create a youthful yet solid look, complemented by 18 to 20 inch alloy wheels depending on the trim. Roof rails and a panoramic sunroof add a practical and stylish touch.

In terms of size, the Outlander fits well within the compact SUV category, making it agile for city driving while still spacious enough for family use. It measures 4,710 mm in length, 1,862 mm in width, and 1,740 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2,706 mm.

Step inside and the Outlander impresses with its versatile three row layout that accommodates up to seven passengers. The cabin uses high quality materials, ranging from fabric to semi aniline leather in higher trims, and offers electric seat adjustment with memory function, heating, cooling, and even massage options in premium variants.

For tech lovers, the Outlander comes equipped with a 12.3 inch digital instrument cluster, a 9 inch infotainment screen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a Bose audio system with 10 speakers, and a head up display. Dual zone climate control with rear vents keeps all passengers comfortable in UAE heat.

Under the hood, the Outlander 2025 is powered by a 2.5 liter four cylinder petrol engine delivering 181 hp and 245 Nm of torque. It is paired with a CVT automatic transmission and comes standard with front wheel drive, while higher trims offer all wheel drive. Fuel efficiency is reasonable at around 13.7 km per liter, making it practical for daily use.

Safety is a strong point for the Outlander, equipped with seven airbags, adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, blind spot monitoring, forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, hill start assist, hill descent control, rear cross traffic alert, driver attention monitoring, and a 360 degree camera system. These features add confidence for families navigating UAE highways and city roads alike.

Like any SUV, the Outlander brings a balance of strengths and trade offs. On the positive side, it offers a sleek and premium design, advanced technology that enhances comfort and convenience, and spacious seating with flexible configurations for larger families. Its safety suite also makes it a reassuring choice for parents.

However, the 2.5 liter engine may feel underpowered compared to some rivals, particularly when the car is fully loaded. The CVT transmission is not as responsive as a traditional automatic, which may affect driving dynamics. Additionally, its pricing is slightly higher than some competitors in the mid size SUV class, which could be a consideration for cost sensitive buyers.

The Outlander is offered in multiple trims in the UAE, giving buyers flexibility depending on budget and preferences. Prices start at around AED 96,495 for the Outlander 2.5L GLX Mid Line. The GLX High Line AWD version is priced at AED 117,900, while the range topping 2.4L PHEV (S AWD) Baseline variant reaches AED 153,000. With these options, families can choose between affordability, all wheel drive capability, or plug in hybrid efficiency.
