The Mitsubishi Outlander has long been a favourite for Queensland drivers - and with the arrival of the MY25 update, it's clear Mitsubishi is doubling down on comfort, capability, and clever tech. This isn't just a cosmetic refresh - this is a full upgrade built for real Aussie conditions.
Whether you're tackling the school run, heading up the Bruce Highway, or packing the family for a weekend away, the 2025 Outlander delivers a smoother, smarter, and more stylish experience from every angle.
Mitsubishi has re-engineered the Outlander's ride and handling to better suit Australia's unique roads. The suspension and steering have both been retuned to deliver a smoother, more composed feel behind the wheel - perfect for everything from city cruising to weekend escapes through the hinterland.
The Super All Wheel Control (S-AWC) system has also been enhanced, giving the Outlander even better traction and stability for Aussie roads on and off the beaten track. This Outlander is more capable than ever.
You'll notice a jump in quality and tech across the board. With a 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen now standard on all models and a built-in satellite navigation, there's no more juggling phone maps while driving. The cabin layout feels modern and driver-focused, with improved materials and thoughtful ergonomic touches like relocated cupholders and a clever rear cargo floor box to help keep things tidy on the go.
In terms of creature comforts, Mitsubishi has dialled it right up. The front seats are now heated and ventilated in the Exceed and Exceed Tourer variants, making them perfect for Queensland's ever-changing weather.
The Exceed Tourer also features massage seats for the driver and front passenger - a luxury touch usually reserved for premium European models. Rear passengers aren't left out either, with USB-C charging ports and loads of space for everyone to relax on long drives.
The higher specs also get a heated steering wheel, quilted leather upholstery, a frameless rear-view mirror, and even aluminium pedals for a sportier touch. Add a panoramic sunroof to the mix, and you've got a seriously high-end feel inside a practical family SUV.
If you're looking for tech that will keep up with you, you'll appreciate the introduction of Mitsubishi Connect - now available from the LS trim and up. This handy smartphone app lets you remotely start your Outlander (ideal for cooling it down before you jump in), lock or unlock the doors, check fuel levels, find your car in a busy car park, and even access emergency SOS features - all from an app on your phone.
The Mi-Pilot Assist system, available from Aspire upwards, includes advanced driver aids like Lane Keep Assist and Traffic Jam Assist. It's designed to make busy commutes safer and less stressful by helping the car maintain its lane and distance from other vehicles in slow-moving traffic.
Visually, the MY25 Outlander gets a subtly refreshed front and rear bumper design that gives it a sharper, more modern look. There are also new alloy wheel options, with each trim level getting its own unique style - from 18" silver-painted alloys on the ES, to 20" two-tone wheels on the Aspire.
Mitsubishi has also added smoked-lens LED rear lights that subtly elevate the rear styling, giving the Outlander a sleeker, more refined road presence.
And let's not forget the colour palette. The MY25 Outlander adds a bold new range of colours, including Black Diamond, Red Diamond, Cosmic Blue, Graphite Grey, and Sterling Silver Metallic. For those who love a bit of contrast, two-tone paint options (body with black roof) are exclusively available on the Exceed Tourer, making it the most eye-catching Outlander yet.
Practical features haven't been forgotten either. A full-size alloy spare wheel is now standard in the Exceed and Exceed Tourer - a must for long road trips - and the reconfigured storage layout, including that cargo floor box, gives you more flexibility in the boot. Every detail feels like it's been designed with daily life in mind.
As always, Mitsubishi backs the Outlander with one of the best warranties in the business - 10 Years/200,000km, along with 10 Years Capped Price Servicing. You'll also get up to 4 Years of Roadside Assistance included, which means you can drive confidently with total peace of mind.
The 2025 Mitsubishi Outlander is more than just an update - it's a total upgrade. With generous comfort improvements, a massive tech boost, and thoughtful design changes, it feels like Mitsubishi really listened to what Aussie drivers wanted.
Whether you're chasing comfort, space, safety or just something that looks a bit sharper in the driveway, the MY25 Outlander delivers - and then some.
