The 2023 Mitsubishi Outlander comes standard with Apple CarPlay on every single trim, regardless of whether you choose the standard 8.0-inch infotainment screen or upgrade to the 9.0-inch version.

Does the 2023 Mitsubishi Outlander have Apple CarPlay?

Yes—the 2023 Mitsubishi Outlander comes standard with Apple CarPlay (and the similar system, Android Auto) across all trims, regardless of whether you choose the standard 8.0-inch infotainment touchscreen or upgrade to the 9.0-inch version. However, only the larger, upgraded system will allow you to connect your phone wirelessly.

If you have an older Mitsubishi, however, you may not have access to this service. Apple CarPlay has only been standard on the Outlander since the 2022 model year. For earlier model years, it was only available as an upgraded option, and before 2017, it wasn’t available at all.
