Mitsubishi Strives for Adventure with Outlander Trail Edition

Mitsubishi Strives for Adventure with Outlander Trail Edition

If you’ve ever looked at a Mitsubishi Outlander and thought, “That’s nice, but I wish it had more bite off the pavement,” then Mitsubishi Motors has been listening. Enter the 2025 Mitsubishi Outlander Trail Edition — a rugged new take on the brand’s top-selling SUV, purpose-built for those who believe the best roads are the ones less traveled. 

  

With this Trail Edition, Mitsubishi is making a bold statement: adventure doesn’t stop where the pavement ends. 

  

A New Trail Begins

 

The Outlander Trail Edition is Mitsubishi’s first-ever dedicated off-highway styling and equipment package for the Outlander. Based on the SE trim and starting at $39,295 MSRP, the Trail Edition adds off-road flair, all-terrain upgrades, and trail-ready gear, while keeping the daily drive comfort and tech that Outlander buyers love. 

  

Underneath, you still get Mitsubishi’s Super All-Wheel Control (S-AWC) — the proven system inspired by Mitsubishi’s rally dominance in the World Rally Championship and the grueling Paris-Dakar Rally. That means confidence and capability, whether you’re tackling muddy trails, snow-covered roads, or a gravel campsite. 

  

Rugged Outside, Refined Inside

 

The Trail Edition doesn’t just whisper “adventure” — it shouts it. The exterior sports an aggressive blacked-out look, including: 

  

  • Exclusive basket-weave 18” black wheels 
  • Matte and gloss Trail Edition decals on the hood 
  • Black hood garnish, grille trim, mirror caps, and roof trim
  • Extended black fender trim and bumper garnish 
  • Unique Trail Edition badging 

  

It’s the kind of styling that looks just as good in a downtown parking garage as it does halfway up a mountain trail. 

  

Inside, the Trail Edition blends rugged practicality with premium comfort: 

  

  • All-weather floor and cargo mats with the Trail Edition logo 
  • Combination synthetic leather and suede seats
  • Heated front seats 
  • Panoramic sunroof for wide-open views 
  • Dynamic Sound by Yamaha premium audio system 
  • A larger, redesigned center console with wireless device charging 
  • Five USB-C ports to keep everyone’s gear powered up

 

Built for Personalization

 

Mitsubishi knows that adventure looks different for everyone, which is why the Trail Edition comes with a full lineup of dealer-installed accessories to tailor your ride to your lifestyle. 

  

Here’s what you can add: 

  

  • Cooper Discoverer Road+Trail AT tires (235/60R-18) 
  • Thule-branded Caprock flat-rack roof rack 
  • Attachments for bikes, kayaks, canoes, paddle boards, fishing gear, and more 
  • Custom mountain-themed body-side graphics 

 

Whether you’re a weekend camper, trail runner, surfer, or cyclist, there’s a Trail Edition setup that fits your world. 

  

Final Thoughts

 

The 2025 Mitsubishi Outlander Trail Edition is more than a cosmetic upgrade — it’s a serious move into the adventure-ready SUV market. With solid capability, thoughtful design, and plenty of personalization options, Mitsubishi has created an Outlander that’s equally at home on the trail as it is on the school run.

 

If you’re shopping for a compact SUV that brings together everyday practicality with weekend-warrior attitude, the Outlander Trail Edition deserves a top spot on your test drive list.
