Mitsubishi Motors North America will exhibit at the SEMA Show for the first time since 2012, with the world debut of the 2028 Outlander Diamond Trail Edition headlining a six-vehicle stand at Booth 52249 in West Hall from November 3 to 6 in Las Vegas. The Diamond Trail Edition is the first of what Mitsubishi describes as a new generation of off-road-capable models under its Momentum 2030 plan, which puts a greater focus on adventure and off-road capability in the brand’s North American lineup and follows the recent global debut of the new Pajero. Pricing and on-sale timing were not announced.
The Diamond Trail Edition adds a Rock mode to the Outlander’s S-AWC system that uses brake control to suppress wheel slip and responds faster than the other drive modes. Selecting Rock mode automatically activates Hill Descent Control, which can be adjusted for hold speed, while a new instrument cluster screen shows front steering angle, individual wheel slip, and traction control intervention. The Multi-View Camera System stays active up to 18.6 mph (30 km/h), up from 6.2 mph (10 km/h) on the standard Outlander.
Redesigned front and rear bumpers raise the approach angle from 18.3 to 20.5 degrees and the departure angle from 22.2 to 23.1 degrees. The exterior also adds a matte black grille, black Dynamic Shield trim, black-finished headlights, over-fenders, raised roof rails, and 18×7.5-inch black alloy wheels wrapped in Nexen Roadian ATX all-terrain tires.
Inside, a water-repellent seating material in dark gray with khaki stitching is exclusive to the Diamond Trail Edition, while the trim is finished in matte black, dark chrome, and dark satin. A Diamond Trail logo inspired by athletes on a downhill course and worked into Mitsubishi’s three-diamond motif appears on the seatbacks, floor mats, and door trim. Trail Green Metallic is a new color for the brand, offered with an optional white roof, and all three Diamond Trail Editions on display at SEMA wear that combination.
Three Diamond Trail Editions will be on the stand. The first is stock aside from Mitsubishi Genuine Accessories and a color-matched Thule roof box. The second runs 265/65R18 BFGoodrich Trail-Terrain T/A tires, a 1.5-inch Anderson Design & Fabrication lift, Rough Country lighting, and a Thule Caprock rack carrying two Specialized Stumpjumper 15 mountain bikes. It also tows a Gulf Stream Trail Boss 1090K trailer painted to match.
The third sits on 18×8.5-inch Method Race Wheels 707 wheels with 265/65R18 BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO3 tires and a 2.5-inch lift from Flatout Suspension’s GR Lite strut kit with adjustable spring perches. A Thule Caprock rack carries a Thule Approach 2 M rooftop tent and Rough Country traction boards, while additional Rough Country equipment includes a light bar and pods.
The remaining three vehicles are the Ralliart AXCR Triton from Team Mitsubishi Ralliart, which has won the FIA-certified Asia Cross Country Rally three times in five attempts; the Delica D:5 Ultimate Gear, a modified Japanese-market van shown at the 2026 Tokyo Auto Salon and the first current-generation Delica D:5 officially displayed in the U.S.; and an Outlander Sport Trail Edition fitted with Mitsubishi Genuine Accessories available through dealers.
Mitsubishi also used the announcement to recap its off-road and motorsports history, from the PX33 four-wheel-drive prototype of the 1930s through 12 Dakar wins, including seven consecutive victories, four straight WRC drivers’ titles from 1996 to 1999, and the 1998 manufacturers’ championship.
