The 2026 Mitsubishi Outlander arrives with a brand-new powertrain that raises the bar for what a three-row family SUV can deliver. Under the hood sits a new 1.5-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine producing 174 horsepower and 206 pound-feet of torque, which is enough to handle everything from daily commutes to weekend road trips with ease. And with a combined fuel efficiency rating of 8.7 L/100 km, you won't be making frequent stops at the pump either. Read on as the Metrotown Mitsubishi team breaks down the engine specs and fuel economy ratings of the all-new 2026 Outlander.

A New Turbocharged Engine

The 2026 Outlander marks a significant step forward from its predecessors, swapping in a new 1.5-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine in place of the outgoing powerplant. The result is a confident 174 horsepower and 206 pound-feet of torque that makes merging onto the highway or navigating busy city streets feel effortless.

What makes this engine particularly noteworthy is that it also introduces Mitsubishi's first-ever mild hybrid system, pairing the turbocharged engine with a Belt-driven Starter Generator and a 48V lithium-ion battery. This combination works seamlessly in the background to smooth out acceleration, reduce strain on the engine, and improve overall fuel efficiency, all through a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) that keeps power delivery smooth and responsive.

Fuel Economy Ratings

Strong performance and strong fuel economy don't usually go hand in hand, but the 2026 Outlander manages both. With a city rating of 9.4 L/100 km, a highway rating of 7.8 L/100 km, and a combined figure of 8.7 L/100 km, this SUV is built to go the distance without draining your wallet at the pump.

Whether you're dropping the kids off at practice, running weekend errands, or heading out on a longer drive through the Lower Mainland, the Outlander's efficiency holds up across the board. It also comes equipped with Auto Start/Stop technology, which shuts the engine off when you're sitting at idle and restarts it smoothly when you're ready to move, a simple but effective way to squeeze extra savings out of every tank.
