Mitsubishi Motors has been selling in the States since 1982. The automaker has been in business for over 100 years, but when it comes to the states, it’s been a little over 40 years. In fact, the real 40-year anniversary was back in 2021/2022.  Mitsubishi Motors North America (MMNA) decided to celebrate with a new generation of the Mitsubishi Outlander SUV for the 2022 model year (skipping 2021), and then introducing a new and revised Outlander plug-in hybrid (PHEV) for the 2023 model year. Well, isn’t done celebrating its time here in the U.S., because in 2023, a new special edition 40th Anniversary model is being released for the Outlander and Outlander PHEV.

Built off of the SEL Premium package, consumers can expect a higher cost than usual for these special editions. The 40th Anniversary Special Edition of the Mitsubishi Outlander starts at $39,995 (plus destination fee). This price includes some nice additions, starting with a unique Black Diamond paint job and a unique Bronze roof. That roof also comes with a power panoramic sunroof for a clear view of the skies and a little extra sunshine when on the road. The exterior also features Dynamic Shield illumination, door scuff plates, metal cargo scuff plates, a chrome Outlander hood emblem, and a rear bumper protector. To handle any kind of driving conditions, the 40th Anniversary Special Edition of the Mitsubishi Outlander also comes with the brand’s signature Super All-wheel Control (S-AWC) all-wheel drive system.
