2022 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV
Overview
It seems that when many automakers design hybrid models, they don’t consider style. They mostly just rely on the same stale design or a strange attempt at what their design team thinks looks “modern.” Mitsubishi knows that some drivers just prefer to stand out. That’s where the 2021 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV comes in. With stylistic cues that break from the herd and an outstanding 10-year/100,000-mile warranty*, you’ll wonder why anyone bothers with the mass of plain hybrid models on the road. This model is as comfortable as it is stylish, and with two trim levels and seating for up to five, the Outlander PHEV has something for everyone. That is unless you want just another boring hybrid SUV.
The Perfect Ride For…
The eco-conscious family. A spacious interior means plenty of room for passengers and cargo. The Outlander is capable too, with both trim levels offering standard four-wheel drive. You’ll find great fuel economy and a litany of standard features on the base trim, as well as luxury appointments and intricate technology available. Standard and available driver assistance features offer top-of-the-line safety for you and your loved ones, no matter where the road—or the unbeaten path—leads you.
Drive and Handling
The Outlander PHEV is powered by hybrid technology to improve fuel efficiency. The powertrain starts with a new 2.4-liter four-cylinder MIVEC DOHC engine. Paired with twin electric motors and a lithium-ion battery pack, the Outlander PHEV offers amazing throttle response and power for daily driving. Drivers have improved traction and performance from Mitsubishi’s Super All-Wheel Control System. Similar to Mitsubishi’s legendary all-wheel drive system, the Super All-Wheel Control System provides drivers with excellent traction no matter what the road throws your way. Enjoy exploring beyond the pavement and take the paths less traveled with the capable Outlander PHEV.
Key Features
Safety
The Outlander isn’t just the perfect family vehicle due to its expansive space. It’s also well-equipped with standard and available safety features to protect your loved ones. Features like Hill Start Assist, Anti-Lock Brakes, Active Stability Control, airbags, and a tire pressure monitoring system are all standard. Available driver assistance features like Adaptive Cruise Control, Forward Collision Mitigation with Pedestrian Detection, Lane Departure Warning, Automatic High Beam, and Blind Spot Warning with Lane Change Assist and Rear Cross Traffic Alert give you even more protection.
Cargo and Comfort
No matter where you sit in the 2021 Outlander, you’ll be in the best seat in the house. Comfort and convenience aren’t features that stop behind the front row. The newly redesigned third row has increased comfort so that the driver and all six passengers can enjoy the journey. Lumbar support control is standard, and all passengers can adjust their seats for the perfect level of comfort. Rear seat vents and USB outlets make sure the rear passengers are just as relaxed as those in the front. Road trips won’t seem like such a chore when everyone can be comfortable for hours. Cargo space is expansive, with 30.4 cubic feet behind the second row and an astonishing 66.6 cubic feet behind the first row.
Alternative Options
For drivers with a full house, the Outlander gas model can seat up to 7 with plenty of space for cargo. If you don’t need as much space and want a slightly sportier experience, the Eclipse Cross is the perfect crossover to fit your needs.
