Mitsubishi 2026 Lineup – What’s Coming to Canada
Mitsubishi Motors has pulled the wraps off its exciting 2026 lineup, revealing several major updates that bring more power, efficiency, and refinement to its most popular models. The announcement shines a spotlight on the Outlander and Outlander PHEV, both of which receive substantial upgrades, while the Eclipse Cross and RVR evolve with meaningful improvements that reflect the needs of Canadian drivers. For those in Peterborough and across Ontario, this next wave of Mitsubishi vehicles promises to deliver innovation, comfort, and all-weather capability.
2026 Outlander PHEV: More Range and Refinement
Canada’s best-selling all-wheel drive plug-in hybrid SUV is about to get even better. The 2026 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV receives a mid-cycle refresh focused on driver comfort, performance, and technology. It now features a larger-capacity battery that extends its all-electric driving range, making it an even smarter choice for drivers who want to reduce fuel use without sacrificing versatility.
Inside, Mitsubishi has refined the cabin with quieter sound insulation, new seat materials, and a redesigned centre console featuring expanded armrest storage, larger cupholders, and improved phone storage. Heated and ventilated front seats come standard, ensuring comfort through every Ontario season. Technology also takes a major step forward with a new 12.3-inch infotainment display powered by a Dynamic Sound Yamaha audio system, developed exclusively for the Canadian market.
Outside, the 2026 Outlander PHEV features a refreshed grille design, updated bumpers, and stylish new 18-inch and 20-inch wheels. The return of the NOIR trim adds bold cosmetic details that give the SUV a darker, more upscale presence. Underneath it all, refined steering and suspension tuning deliver a smoother, more confident drive, perfectly suited for Canadian roads.
2026 Outlander: A New Powertrain Leads the Way
Following its extensive 2025 update, the 2026 Outlander introduces an all-new powertrain designed and developed by Mitsubishi Motors. Replacing the outgoing 2.5-litre engine, the new 1.5-litre turbocharged four-cylinder works with a hybridized system to provide more torque and smoother acceleration. This combination enhances efficiency while offering a more engaging and responsive drive.
Visually, the 2026 model carries over the refreshed exterior styling from last year but reintroduces the NOIR trim for those who prefer a sleeker, monochromatic look. With this update, Mitsubishi reinforces the Outlander’s reputation for being one of the most well-rounded and capable compact SUVs on the market. Expect to see the new Outlander hit showrooms in late 2025.
2026 Eclipse Cross: Smarter Features and More Value
The 2026 Eclipse Cross continues to evolve with smart updates that improve practicality and value. The GT trim now replaces its embedded navigation system with remote engine start, allowing drivers to warm up or cool down their SUV before even stepping inside. The NOIR edition also becomes more accessible, with a price adjustment that makes it $1,500 more affordable, reflecting changes to the audio setup and removal of the sunroof.
Across all trims, Mitsubishi’s Super All-Wheel Control (S-AWC) remains standard, offering superior traction and stability in all weather conditions. For drivers in Peterborough who value year-round confidence, the Eclipse Cross continues to be a versatile and stylish choice.
2026 RVR: Reliable and Ready for Anything
The 2026 RVR remains a dependable option in the subcompact SUV segment. While it carries over mechanically, Mitsubishi has adjusted trim content and features to better match customer expectations. All-Wheel Control (AWC) continues to come standard on all trims except the entry-level ES FWD, giving Canadian drivers the confidence to handle snow, rain, and everything in between.
With its proven reliability, comfortable cabin, and easy maneuverability, the RVR stays true to what drivers love most about it, a practical, affordable, and fun-to-drive SUV that fits perfectly into daily life.
Looking Ahead at Mitsubishi’s Future
These 2026 updates mark another key step in Mitsubishi Motors’ long-term Momentum 2030 business plan, which promises a new or significantly refreshed model in Canada every year through 2030. With more electrified powertrains, enhanced design elements, and features built for real-world use, Mitsubishi is clearly focused on innovation that benefits Canadian drivers.
