Mitsubishi Outlander Plug-In Hybrid Reviews

Mitsubishi Outlander Plug-In Hybrid Trim Levels

Otherwise known as the “plug-in hybrid electric vehicle,” the Mitsubishi Outlander Plug-In Hybrid comes in three trims. These include:

•    SEL

•    LE

•    GT

Approaching from stage right, the SEL trim provides a 2.4L MIVEC 4-cylinder engine combined with twin electric motors. It also offers Sport and Snow driving modes and Super All-Wheel Control (S-AWC) to take over the tough spots on the way. 
Plus, you’ll get the security of Forward Collision Mitigation (FCM), Lane Departure Warning (LDW), and Automatic High Beam (AHB). The center console showcases an 8-inch Smartphone-link Display Audio (SDA) system.
On center stage, you’ll see the formidable LE trim of the Outlander Plug-In Hybrid with its blackout interior. No one will detect who it is unless they hear you blasting the 8-speaker Mitsubishi Power Sound System (MPSS) or waving from the power sunroof.
The final GT trim takes its place near stage left, watching from the multi-view camera system on board. Inside, warm up your hands on the heated steering wheel. Your fingers will find their way to turn on the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) system and flip on the LED fog lights and headlights to light up your way.

Mitsubishi Outlander Plug-In Hybrid MPG and Towing Capacity

With the engine in place, you can travel for an EPA-estimated 320 miles before needing to refuel. The Outlander Plug-In Hybrid PHEV achieves an EPA-estimated 74 combined MPGe, so you’ll feel like you never need to stop again. 

You can manage the road with three devices, including S-AWC technology, five diverse driving modes, and three driving modes focused solely on how efficient your SUV may be at that moment.

For those wanting an electric SUV with towing capabilities, stop right there. This vehicle tows a maximum of 1,500 pounds when properly equipped with the available tow hitch.

Mitsubishi Outlander Plug-In Hybrid PHEV Interior

Five seats make up the Outlander Plug-In Hybrid with 8-way power adjustable front seats for both driver and passenger. Standard heated front seats take the chill out of the cabin and soothe a sore back all at the same time. When passengers feel relaxed, they can lay back and gaze out of the optional power sunroof.

To find the musical accompaniment for all this comfort, turn on the available 8-speaker MPSS through the 8-inch SDA system. 

In the trunk, your SUV fits up to 30.4 cubic feet of cargo volume to bring sports equipment, store your shopping bags, or tuck in an overnight bag. If you’re toting moving boxes or something larger, it accommodates a total of 66.6 cubic feet of cargo volume.
