Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about the most affordable 3-row SUV in America.
What is the cheapest 3-row SUV you can buy in 2026?
The 2026 Mitsubishi Outlander is the cheapest new 3-row SUV in America with a starting MSRP of $29,995. The next closest competitor, the Kia Sorento, starts at $33,635. Most other 3-row family SUVs like the Toyota Highlander, Honda Pilot, Ford Explorer, and Chevrolet Traverse start above $40,000.
Does the 2026 Outlander really come standard with three rows of seating?
Yes. Three-row seating with capacity for up to seven passengers is standard on every 2026 Outlander trim level — from the base ES through the top SEL. There is no additional cost or optional package required to add the third row.
Is the third row in the Outlander big enough for adults?
The Outlander's third row is best suited for children, teens, or adults on shorter trips. It is one of the few compact-class SUVs to offer a third row at all, and the seats fold completely flat when not in use to maximize cargo space. For families who occasionally need seven-passenger capacity without paying for a midsize or full-size SUV, it is an excellent fit.
How does the Outlander compare to the Honda CR-V or Toyota RAV4?
The CR-V and RAV4 do not offer a third row at any trim level — they are 5-passenger vehicles only. The Outlander is one of the only compact-class SUVs that gives families seven-passenger capacity standard. It also includes a 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty, which is double what Honda and Toyota offer.
What standard features come with the 2026 Outlander ES?
The base ES trim includes a 12.3-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Yamaha premium audio, LED headlights with automatic high beams, dual-zone automatic climate control, blind spot warning with rear cross-traffic alert, rear parking sensors, rear automatic braking, and three-row seating for seven passengers.
Is the Outlander reliable?
RepairPal ranks Mitsubishi sixth out of 32 brands for reliability, with a score of 4.0 out of 5.0. Average annual repair costs are around $535, approximately $100 below the industry average across all car brands. Combined with the 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty, total ownership cost is among the lowest in the segment.
