Three Diamonds: The Story and Meaning Behind the Mitsubishi Logo
Every time you see a Mitsubishi vehicle on the road, you're witnessing more than just automotive design—you're looking at...
The Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV is the best-selling plug-in hybrid electric SUV in Canada for several reasons. In fact, it is the world's best-selling PHEV SUV and recently won the prestigious Green Family Car of the Year 2020 award from Green Car Journal. This complete family vehicle emphasizes safety, advanced performance, cargo capacity, and more. The range offers four well-equipped versions.
The PHEV SUV segment has many competitors, including the 2020 Ford Escape. Here, we compare the two vehicles to illustrate why Mitsubishi is a Canadian favorite.
The 2020 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV has a warranty that's hard to beat
Mitsubishi covers the Outlander PHEV with an exceptional warranty, including a 10-year / 100,000 km warranty on the powertrain, lithium-ion battery, new vehicle, and unlimited roadside assistance. The 2020 Ford Escape Hybrid reduces coverage. This includes a three-year, 60,000-km base, five-year / 100,000-km powertrain warranty.
The 2020 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV has what others don't
The Outlander PHEV has a range of 35 km in all-electric mode, which is more than the Escape Hybrid at 30 km. This is important when you have to go shopping and want to keep emissions to zero. When using hybrid mode, the 2.0L four-cylinder gasoline engine pairs with two electric motors to create 190 horsepower and 245 lb-ft of torque.
While the Escape Hybrid has a little more power at 200 horsepower, it lags far behind with just 155 lb-ft of torque. When you need throttle response and drivability, the Outlander PHEV is the better of both vehicles.
The Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV receives the world's most innovative 4WD PHEV system and the only one that offers 100% EV 4WD capability. Super All-Wheel Control (S-AWC) works with the electric motors on each axle to optimize traction and safety. This is a must when driving in our climate. All you'll get with the Escape Hybrid is the front-wheel drive.
The Outlander PHEV also offers more cargo space than the Escape Hybrid.
