exterior detail modification, equipment upgrade, electrical system enhancement

previously, japanese media have been constantly revealing information about the facelifted outlander, and the japanese manufacturer also officially released a preview in early august. in north america, mitsubishi previously revealed through the preview of its 2025 product lineup that the facelifted outlander will also be launched, but only the fuel model will be the first to be launched, and phev is not on the first wave of facelifted update list. this is exactly the opposite of europe and japan. the facelifted outlander in europe and japan only has phev power and no fuel model is available.

judging from the preview released by mitsubishi europe this time, the front of the car also continues the design features of this generation of outlander, including the slender lights on the top and rectangular lights on both sides, large c-shaped chrome trim, etc., but many details in the photos are presented in black shadows, so it is not possible to see clearly what has changed; but from the photo catalog that has been leaked in japan before, it can be found that the front grille and lower bumper have been slightly adjusted. the main change is that the grid pattern of the upper grille has been cancelled and replaced with a bright black flat design, and the rims have also been replaced with a new style.

the manufacturer emphasizes that the interior of the facelifted outlander phev features japanese craftsmanship, high-quality materials, and a large infotainment screen. the main features are the use of semi-aniline leather seats, a 12.3-inch infotainment system, and a yamaha sound system. however, a major focus of the facelifted outlander is the enhancement of the electrical system. the manufacturer emphasizes the use of a newly developed drive battery that can achieve higher capacity and higher output. at the same time, the pure electric range will also be significantly increased, and it will have more sensitive, more powerful and smoother acceleration performance; japanese media also revealed that the battery capacity has increased slightly from the original 20kwh to 22kwh, and the pure electric range has also increased from 83 kilometers to 100 kilometers.
