The Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV is an undisputed star in the plug-in hybrid SUV segment, offering buyers one of the best solutions of its kind on the market. For anyone looking for an efficient model for the family, and a vehicle that is not ruinous to use, look no further.
Now, which version to choose? There are six on the menu, and it can be difficult to find your way around when you discover the range.
Let's take a look at the question by starting by analyzing what the base version of the model, the ES variant, offers.
Price and discounts
First, it is important to remember that the price of the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV, which is less than $50,000 in base configuration, makes it eligible for the discount programs offered for the purchase of an electric model. That’s a big incentive, especially considering what you get in return.
The Outlander PHEV in ES configuration offers you value for your money, with a very comprehensive level of standard equipment.
It starts of course with the same powertrain as all PHEV versions, namely a 2.4-litre 4-cylinder that, thanks to the contribution of the electric motors, offers 248 horsepower and 332 pound-feet of torque, for dynamic acceleration.
The 61-kilometre range in all-electric mode is the same with this version, the main reason why we opt for a PHEV model.
In terms of equipment, the essentials are there with a dual-zone climate control system, a 12.3-inch display for driving information, adaptive cruise control, one-pedal driving with regenerative braking, a seven-seat interior configuration, an eight-inch display for the multimedia system, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto applications, heated front seats, USB-C and USB-A ports in the front and rear, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and gear selector, keyless entry, push-button start, and a six-speaker audio system.
The model rides on 18-inch wheels and offers LED headlights and daytime running lights, headlight washers, LED low beams, and LED taillights from the start. The exterior mirrors are even heated, with integrated turn signals.
Yes, all of this comes standard with the base version of the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV. Imagine the level of equipment in the more luxurious versions.
And of course, you benefit from Mitsubishi's S-AWC (Super-All Wheel Control) all-wheel drive, which is optimized with this model thanks to the all-electric configuration for rear axle management.
