The 2018 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV: where efficient driving meetings attractive styling

The Mitsubishi Outlander is already a popular model and at South Suburban Mitsubishi you'll always find a large selection to choose from. Knowing its status, Mitsubishi decided to improve on the crossover. How? By developing the environmentally-savvy 2018 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV!

What is a PHEV?

The Outlander PHEV is a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle. When you're in all-electric mode you can drive an EPA estimated 22 miles, and while that might seem insignificant it's an average commute for many people. Since this vehicle isn't totally electric, once the electric engine is depleted it kicks into hybrid mode, so you won't get stranded.

There are three different ways to charge your Outlander PHEV, and you can monitor the vehicle's levels using either the Outlander PHEV app or the touchscreen.

Level One: at home with a standard 120V outlet. You can reach full charge in 8 hours.

Level Two: at a public charging station with a 240V outlet. Full charge takes about 4 hours. You can also have this setup installed at your home.

Fast Charge: At a CHAdeMO public charging station you can be back up to full in 25 minutes or less. Luckily, Chicago has several of these locations!

Aside from the badges, if you look at the outside the two are practically twins! But there are some key differences, aside from the powertrains.

Seating: instead of seating seven, the Outlander PHEV has room for five passengers. The good thing is you'll get more cargo space.

Trims: the standard Outlander has five trims. The Outlander PHEV has two to choose from - the SEL and GT.

AWC: on the Outlander, shoppers can choose between FWD or all-wheel control (aka: AWD). On the Outlander PHEV the AWC is standard.

Trim Levels
