The PHEV System
Outlander PHEV automatically switches drive modes to optimize performance - achieving an impressive 74 MPGe efficiency rating. It runs on all-electric power and uses gasoline only when required.
In EV Mode, the vehicle is powered by twin electric motors and energy is sourced exclusively from the PHEV's lithium-ion battery pack. Select this mode for 100% electric-powered, zero-emission driving.
In Series Hybrid Mode, the gasoline-powered generator helps charge the lithium-ion battery pack and provide power to the twin electric motors. The system uses this mode when battery charge levels are low, or sudden acceleration is needed.
If additional power is required - in situations like uphill driving - an integrated clutch, located in the front axle, switches into Parallel Drive Mode. In this mode, the 2.0 L gas engine drives the front wheels and siphons any excess electricity back into the lithium-ion battery pack.
Instant acceleration
High-output twin electric motors - mounted at the front and rear axles - bypass the gasoline engine in EV Mode to provide immediate torque and instant, all-wheel drive acceleration with zero emission.
Super All-Wheel Control System
The Outlander PHEV upholds Mitsubishi's all-wheel-drive heritage with the Super All-Wheel Control system, combining several advanced technologies to give you maximum traction. With four driving modes, including NORMAL, SNOW, GRAVEL and the S-AWC ECO Mode, the Outlander PHEV offers stable and responsive handling in a variety of driving conditions.
