  • The 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander is redesigned with a distinctive exterior design and a nicer-looking interior.

  • It now shares its platform and engine with the Nissan Rogue.

  • The Outlander will go on sale in April with a starting price of $26,990.

As Mitsubishi’s first new product in several years, the new 2022 Outlander compact SUV is significant in a few ways. Not only does it look far nicer than its predecessor inside and out, it also represents the first fruit of Mitsubishi and Nissan’s alliance that U.S. customers will see.

The Outlander now shares a platform and engine with the Nissan Rogue. Its exterior design is entirely distinct, however, with an in-your-face front end that features a prominent grille, lots of chrome trim, and an interesting lighting arrangement that includes daytime running lights, headlights, and fog lights.

Larger than before in most dimensions, the Outlander continues to reside on the large end of the compact-crossover segment and retains its standard third row of seats. The Volkswagen Tiguan is the only other car in this class that offers space for seven passengers, although we must say that the Outlander’s third row it doesn’t look particularly hospitable in photos.
