What’s New in the 2026 Mitsubishi Lineup
2026 Mitsubishi Lineup: What’s New Across the Range?
The 2026 Mitsubishi lineup has arrived with big changes, and it feels like everything got just a bit smarter. Living here in Scarborough where winter mornings can be frosty and summer roads can stretch for long family drives, it’s exciting to see vehicles that fit all kinds of lifestyles. Mitsubishi has refreshed the Outlander PHEV, given the Outlander a whole new powertrain, and polished the Eclipse Cross and RVR to better match what drivers want. Let’s go through each one and see which stands out.
2026 Outlander PHEV
The Outlander PHEV has always been a favourite here in Canada, and now it has been given a full mid-cycle refresh. The battery is larger, so its all-electric driving range goes further on quick city runs in Scarborough. The drive feels smoother too, with improved steering, new tire specs, and suspension tuning that helps the SUV glide over bumpy roads. Inside, things are quieter thanks to new sound-deadening. There are new colours, richer materials, and even heated and ventilated front seats. The centre console is redesigned with more storage, better cup holders, and a spot that holds your phone steady. A huge 12.3-inch display runs a new Dynamic Sound Yamaha audio system made just for Canadian models. The outside also got a lift, with a new grille, new bumpers, new wheel designs, and darker taillights. Compared to the other models, the Outlander PHEV feels like the most advanced and refined one, especially for drivers who want electric power mixed with everyday comfort.
2026 Outlander
The regular Outlander also brings something big this year. Mitsubishi replaced the old 2.5-litre engine with a 1.5-litre turbocharged four-cylinder paired with a hybridized system. It delivers more torque right from the start, making highway merges or winter slush takeoffs feel stronger. It is also more fuel-efficient than before. The stylish NOIR trim returns with bold design touches, while the rest of the look remains clean and modern following the 2025 refresh. It still offers generous cargo space and comfortable seating for the whole family. Compared to the Eclipse Cross and RVR, the Outlander is more powerful and spacious, making it ideal for family road trips or weekend escapes to cottage country.
2026 Eclipse Cross
The 2026 Eclipse Cross brings smaller but meaningful upgrades. The GT trim now includes remote engine start—perfect for icy Scarborough mornings—and the NOIR edition is now $1,500 less expensive. The sunroof has been removed, and the audio system has been updated. Every trim continues to use Mitsubishi’s Super All-Wheel Control system, giving confident grip on wet roads or snowy hills. Positioned between the RVR and Outlander in size, it offers a balanced blend of style and tech. Compared to the RVR, it provides more features and comfort, making it a great choice for drivers wanting a compact yet well-equipped SUV.
2026 RVR
The RVR continues to serve as Mitsubishi’s simple, budget-friendly SUV. It hasn’t changed mechanically, which is great news for drivers who appreciate its reliability and familiar performance. It’s easy to maneuver through tight city streets and offers All-Wheel Control on all trims except the base ES FWD. A few trim updates help keep it feeling modern. Compared to the Eclipse Cross, the RVR is more affordable and straightforward, making it ideal for drivers who want a dependable everyday SUV without the extra cost.
