Mitsubishi Trail Edition

What Is the Mitsubishi Trail Edition?

Trail Edition is an adventure-focused treatment available on select Mitsubishi SUVs. Rather than changing the basic platform, Mitsubishi layers on blacked-out styling cues, trail-ready accessories, and available all-terrain rubber, then backs it with the same practical drivetrains that make these models easy to live with every day. Features vary by model, but the idea is consistent: add confidence for Irving dirt roads and campsites, plus protection and storage for outdoor gear.

Which Mitsubishi Models Offer a Trail Edition?

For the current lineup, you'll see Trail Edition badging on some of Mitsubishi's most popular crossovers, with availability expanding for 2026:

• Outlander Trail Edition - Based on the Outlander SE with Super All-Wheel Control (S-AWC), using a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine rated at 181 horsepower and 181 pound feet of torque. It adds black exterior trim, unique 18-inch wheels, Trail Edition graphics and badging, plus all-weather interior protection and trail-focused accessories.
• Outlander Sport Trail Edition - Built on the compact Outlander Sport with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder, continuously variable transmission, and available All-Wheel Control. Trail Edition versions pair 18-inch wheels, special exterior accents, and all-season or all-terrain tires with a flexible cargo area and standard smartphone integration.
• Additional 2026 Trail Editions - Dealer announcements for 2026 highlight Trail Edition packages for the Outlander, Outlander PHEV, and Eclipse Cross, bringing similar exterior treatments and trail-focused accessories to a wider slice of the lineup.

Key Trail Edition Features

While details differ between Outlander and Outlander Sport, most Trail Edition builds share a common set of upgrades aimed at style, protection, and usability in the dirt.

• Exterior upgrades: Black 18-inch alloy wheels, black Dynamic Shield grille treatment, black mirror caps and door handles, body-side and hood graphics, and Trail Edition badging for a more purposeful stance.
• Protection and hardware: Added lower-body cladding, front skid-style garnishes, rear bumper protectors, and Trail Edition mud flaps to guard paint and underbody from stones, ruts, and slush.
• Interior durability: Trail-branded all-weather floor mats and cargo liners that are easy to hose off after muddy hikes, wet dogs, or sandy beach days.
• Optional capability upgrades: Available Cooper Road+Trail all-terrain tires and roof systems like the Thule Caprock platform for carrying kayaks, cargo boxes, or bikes, adding real trail usefulness to the appearance package.

FAQs About the Mitsubishi Trail Edition

Is the Trail Edition just cosmetic, or is it more capable?

Trail Edition models are built on existing Outlander and Outlander Sport trims, so the engines and basic suspensions are familiar. The added hardware-like optional all-terrain tires, unique wheels, extra cladding, and protective skid garnishes-gives them an edge on rough, unpaved surfaces and helps prevent cosmetic damage. Think of it as light off-road tuning rather than a full mechanical overhaul.

Which Trail Edition model should I choose?

If you need three rows, highway comfort, and more space for family and gear, the Outlander Trail Edition is the natural fit. Fort Worth shoppers who want a smaller footprint and easier parking might gravitate toward the Outlander Sport Trail Edition. As Trail Edition packages expand to Eclipse Cross and Outlander PHEV, you'll also be able to pick based on size, fuel economy priorities, and plug-in capability.

Can I add Trail Edition accessories to a non-Trail Edition Mitsubishi?

Many Trail Edition accessories: roof racks, baskets, all-weather mats, cargo organizers, and even some graphics-are dealer-installed items that can be added to a standard Outlander or Outlander Sport.
