Yes, in some versions. Only the entry-level Nativa trim has seven seats; the higher-spec Diamond is a five-seater.
Best for Occasional extra seats with plug-in hybrid four-wheel drive
On this page
Like every Outlander, the Mitsubishi Outlander 7-seater is a plug-in hybrid with twin electric motors, four-wheel drive and up to 53 miles of electric range.
Mitsubishi itself calls the Nativa a 5+2, so treat the third row as occasional seating for small children. This Outlander marked Mitsubishi's return to new-car sales in the UK after a five-year break, going on sale in May 2026.

We have no verified boot figure with all seven seats in use yet. With five seats in use the boot holds 867 litres, rising to a maximum of 1,821 litres.
Mitsubishi Outlander boot space is hard to pin down. Mitsubishi UK publishes no boot figures, and we found none with all seven seats in use. An Auto Express group test measured 867 litres with the rear seats up and 1,821 litres with them folded, both to the roof, in a five-seat Diamond; The Car Expert quotes up to 1,600 litres with the rear seats folded.
Roof-height figures run higher than the shelf-height numbers many makers quote, so compare them with care.
How it is measured Figures from an Auto Express group test, measured to the roof (test car listed as a Diamond). The Car Expert quotes up to 1,600 litres with the rear seats folded. Mitsubishi UK publishes no boot volumes, and no figure was found for the boot with all seven seats in use.

Third row: who fits?
Third row suitsChildren
Mitsubishi itself describes the seven-seat Nativa as a 5+2, and the third row is not offered on the Diamond. Reviewers call the back seats cramped and fit only for small children on short journeys.
Mitsubishi describes the seven-seat Nativa as a 5+2, and that is the right way to think of it. Auto Express and The Car Expert call the back seats cramped and fit only for small children on short trips, so do not plan on carrying adults back there.
Mitsubishi lists two Isofix points without saying where they are. If you need more, see our guide to 7-seaters with three Isofix points.
