2026 Mitsubishi Outlander Models Earn Family Green Car of the Year

Mitsubishi Motors North America has reached an impressive milestone as the 2026 Mitsubishi Outlander and Outlander Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV) were co-named Green Car Journal’s 2026 Family Green Car of the Year. This marks the first time in the award’s 21-year history that sister models have shared the title. The achievement reflects Mitsubishi’s ongoing commitment to innovation, sustainability, and family-friendly design.

A Historic Dual Win

The Outlander and Outlander PHEV each showcase Mitsubishi’s dedication to creating vehicles that balance environmental responsibility with everyday practicality. The Outlander PHEV earned its fourth consecutive Family Green Car of the Year win, demonstrating the model’s continued leadership in hybrid technology. At the same time, the upcoming mild-hybrid Outlander introduces new levels of efficiency that reduce emissions while maintaining strong performance. Drivers can explore both award-winning models by visiting the new Mitsubishi Outlander inventory or the new Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV inventory.

Power and Innovation

The 2025 Outlander PHEV currently offers up to 38 miles of all-electric range and a total hybrid range of approximately 420 miles. It features a refined interior, enhanced driving dynamics, and an innovative Yamaha audio system, the first of its kind in the U.S. Both the Outlander and Outlander PHEV come equipped with Mitsubishi’s Super All-Wheel Control system, ensuring a confident and stable drive in all conditions which is perfect for Minnesota’s changing seasons.

The forthcoming mild-hybrid Outlander represents Mitsubishi’s next step in electrified mobility, aligning with the brand’s Momentum 2030 plan to introduce a new or updated model every year through the decade. This consistent innovation highlights Mitsubishi’s focus on long-term sustainability and performance for families throughout Minneapolis, St. Paul, and White Bear Lake.
