The PHEV System
Outlander PHEV automatically switches between electric and gas power to deliver stellar, on-demand performance, and outstanding efficiency - up to 741 MPGe.
In EV Mode, the vehicle is powered by twin electric motors and energy is sourced exclusively from the PHEV's lithium-ion battery pack. Yep, that's 100% electric-powered, zero-emission driving.
In Series Hybrid Mode, PHEV's gas-powered generator helps charge its lithium-ion battery pack and provides power to the twin electric motors. PHEV uses this mode when its battery runs low, or when you need a quick burst of speed.
When you need some extra juice - in situations like uphill driving - an integrated clutch, located in the front axle, switches into Parallel Drive Mode. In this mode, PHEV's 2.4L gas engine drives the front wheels and siphons any excess electricity back into the lithium-ion battery pack.
Versatility mode - activated
2021 sees the addition of two new driver modes for the Outlander PHEV. Joining PHEV's roster of Normal, Gravel and S-AWC ECO mode is Snow mode, which provides an extra measure of control on icy, slippery surfaces, and Sport Mode, which allows for a more spirited throttle response for when you want to kick things up a notch.
With the addition of these two modes, you can comfortably drive the PHEV just about anywhere.
The power behind the PHEV
Besides you? Well, under the hood of the PHEV lies high-output twin electric motors that provide immediate torque and instant, all-wheel drive acceleration with zero emission. Not to forget the new and improved 2.4L gas engine for when you're really motoring.
Super All-Wheel Control system
Outlander PHEV continues Mitsubishi's all-wheel-drive heritage with the Super All-Wheel Control system, combining several advanced technologies to give you maximum traction. Come rain, shine, snow or gravel, Outlander PHEV offers stable and responsive handling in a variety of driving conditions.
