If you're interested in buying a Mitsubishi Outlander, or if you have one already, read on to find out the MPG numbers for different model years and what they mean for you.

Outlander MPG Through the Years

From 2019 to 2025, there have been slight variations in the MPG estimates for the Mitsubishi Outlander. In 2021, the Mitsubishi Outlander was only available as a plug-in hybrid, which is why you won't see it in the chart below. However, the Mitsubishi Outlander Plug-In Hybrid and its modern, updated versions get incredible MPGe numbers. The 2025 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV gets up to 64 MPGe,¹ which stands for miles per gallon of gasoline equivalent.

For the 2022 model year, Mitsubishi automakers brought back gasoline models with MPG numbers that were as impressive as ever. Today, you can find a 2025 Outlander 2WD model with an EPA-estimated 24/31 MPG (City/Highway)² and a 2025 Outlander S-AWC (Super All-Wheel Control) model with an EPA-estimated 24/30 MPG (City/Highway).² Discover the rest of the estimates for 2019-2025 models with our handy chart below.

The Mitsubishi Outlander Fuel Type

The 2025 Mitsubishi Outlander MPG ratings are great. Another benefit this SUV has over some competitors? It doesn't require premium gasoline. That's right: For all models (even the Outlander PHEV), the Mitsubishi Outlander gas type is regular 87-octane gas. You'll find that this applies to past years, like the 2024 and 2023 Mitsubishi Outlander MPG performance as well.

2025 Mitsubishi Outlander Fuel Efficiency vs. the Competition

The 2025 Mitsubishi Outlander MPG ratings are competitive, but competition can't happen in a bubble. Let's compare the fuel efficiency of the Mitsubishi Outlander vs. the competition to see how other crossovers stack up.

One of the only other segment members to offer a third row of seats is the VW Atlas. At its most efficient, the 2025 VW Atlas offers an EPA-estimated 20/26 MPG (City/Highway),⁸ which falls beneath the EPA-estimated 24/30 MPG (City/Highway)² of a 2025 Mitsubishi Outlander.

The standard-engine 2025 Hyundai Tucson AWD delivers an EPA-estimated 24/30 MPG (City/Highway),⁹ which matches the EPA-estimated 24/30 MPG (City/Highway)² of a 2025 Mitsubishi Outlander S-AWC. This is a tie with the standard gasoline AWD model but a far, far lower estimate than the most efficient Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV MPG ratings. The Outlander also takes the lead with a larger fuel tank and more passenger volume.

Wrapping up this party, the most efficient 2025 Chevy Blazer pulls in with its standard 2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder engine and FWD. Can it top the Mitsubishi Outlander MPG ratings? No, it delivers an EPA-estimated 22/29 MPG (City/Highway).¹⁰

Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of gas does the Mitsubishi Outlander require?

If you want to utilize those impressive fuel economy numbers, all you need to do is pull up to the closest gas pump, put your card in, and select "87" because the Mitsubishi Outlander only needs standard gasoline. This can help save you a substantial amount. If you want to, you can put premium gasoline in it. However, it's unlikely to boost performance by any significant or noticeable degree.

Does the Outlander or Outlander Sport have better fuel economy?

Certain Mitsubishi Outlander Sport models do have higher MPG estimates than some Mitsubishi Outlander models. However, overall, the Mitsubishi Outlander is usually slightly more fuel-efficient than the Mitsubishi Outlander Sport. For 2025, the AWC version of the Outlander Sport gets an EPA-estimated 23/28 MPG (City/Highway).¹¹ The regular Mitsubishi Outlander with Super All-Wheel Control delivers an EPA-estimated 24/30 MPG (City/Highway).²

Why do AWD vehicles have lower MPG ratings?

"AWD" means "all-wheel drive". As such, AWD vehicles send power to all wheels, and this requires the consumption of more energy from your vehicle's drivetrain. This extra consumption means that gas is used up quicker than it would be on 2WD models because 2WD drivetrains are not as complex as those that send power to all your wheels. In addition, all-wheel-drive vehicles tend to be heavier.
