New Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV has a starting price

Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV design

The new Outlander PHEV is 4,719 mm long, 1,862 mm wide and 1,750 mm high.
The wheelbase is 2,704 mm.
The design of the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV needs little explanation.
The car looks tough and like a typical Mitsubishi, with the Dynamic Shield front design in particular standing out. There is a choice of 18- or 20-inch alloy wheels. There is a choice of seven body colors, four of which are on the higher trims in combination with a black roof.
The new metallic color Moonstone Grey has a striking blue glow.
This color consists of as many as four layers.

Interior

The interior looks sleek and modern.
Smarter design has created more interior space.
Of course, there are several digital displays.
A head-up display is optionally available.
Charging your phone wirelessly is also possible, of course, as is using Apple CarPlay or Android auto.
The interior mirror is frameless and also has a digital function.
When visibility is difficult due to rear passengers, luggage or conditions, the driver can view the image from the rearview camera in the interior mirror so he can simply look backwards.
The seats have heating and ventilation and even massage functions.
The message is clear that the new Outlander PHEV will pamper you in a variety of ways.

Luggage space

The interior of the Outlander PHEV is bathed in natural light due to the large panoramic sunroof that is no less than 93 centimeters long and 70 centimeters wide.
This roof can also be opened.
The rear seats fold down in a ratio of 40:20:40.
Those who need extra luggage space can simply use a lever to flatten the seatback in parts.
With the backrest up, the new Outlander PHEV offers 495 liters more luggage space than before, with the entire backrest flat the space grows to 1,422 liters.
The larger opening of the tailgate also makes it easy to load and unload (a lot of) luggage.
The trunk lid is fully remote controlled, using both your foot and hand transmitter.

Drivetrain Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV

The Outlander PHEV has been further developed and the plug-in hybrid powertrain has been completely redesigned.
The powertrain consists of a four-cylinder gasoline engine, two electric motors, a larger lithium-ion battery and a shift-by-wire transmission.
Power output is about 36 percent higher compared to the previous generation Outlander PHEV.

The front electric motor delivers 85 kW (116 hp) of power and 255 Nm of torque; the rear one delivers 100 kW (136 hp) and 195 Nm.
The latter has an integrated motor control unit and therefore takes up less space.
The battery has a capacity of 22.7 kWh, allowing the new Outlander PHEV to drive even longer in EV mode without help from the gasoline engine.
According to the official WLTP test, the range in electric mode is of 86 kilometers.

The fuel engine is a redeveloped engine based on the previous generation Outlander: 2,360 cm3, sixteen valves and DOHC.
Exhaust gas recirculation, expanded cooling channels and an integrated exhaust manifold are new to reduce fuel consumption and improve performance.
The 100 kW (136 hp) and 203 Nm gasoline engine works smoothly with the electric motors in the powertrain for a jerk-free, dynamic driving experience.
The system output is 225 kW (302 hp).
The increased power enables 0-100 km/h acceleration in just 7.9 seconds.
The gasoline tank has been increased to 53 liters, making the total range even greater when electric and hybrid driving are combined.

Heat pump and V2H

The Outlander PHEV is also equipped with a heat pump, which reduces power consumption even when the climate control is active.
The heat pump also contributes to the increased electric range, even in cold weather.
The Outlander PHEV is also equipped with a fast charging function.
This is Type 2 as a CHAdeMO connection.
To fully integrate the Outlander PHEV into the user’s life, it is capable of delivering power to the home if needed (vehicle-to-home).

Lots of choice

The Outlander PHEV has several drive modes.
Think EV mode, Series Hybrid mode and Parallel Hybrid mode.
The differences:

• EV mode: pure electric driving at low and medium speeds
• Series Hybrid mode: gasoline engine generates electricity when needed, such as during acceleration up an incline
• Parallel Hybrid mode: the electric motor and combustion engine work together at constant high speed

Further, the driver can also manually control how the Outlander PHEV uses energy through four easily selected options:

• Normal: automatically optimizes EV/Hybrid drive.
• EV: fully electric drive, when the battery charge level is sufficient
• Save: gives priority to maintaining battery charge level
• Charge: charges the battery

Finally, the Outlander PHEV offers a choice of seven driving modes: Normal, Eco, Power, Tarmac, Gravel, Snow and Mud.
Each mode is easily selected via the central dial in the interior.

Eight-year warranty

Like all Mitsubishi cars, the new Outlander PHEV comes with the Mitsubishi Service Commitment in the Netherlands.
So you get eight years to 160,000 km warranty and eight years of roadside assistance (Mitsubishi Assistance Package).
Twelve-year anti-corrosion warranty and eight years/160,000 km battery warranty is also included.
