With the 2021 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV, you can put a very fuel-efficient spin on family-friendly travel. This plug-in hybrid compact SUV will treat you to 24 miles of all-electric range, a smooth ride, and modern smartphone integration. The Outlander PHEV not only makes your daily drive more cost-effective, but also increasingly comfortable and accommodating.

Power and Performance

The Outlander PHEV comes standard with a plug-in hybrid powertrain, combining a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine and battery-powered motor to deliver a total output of 221 horsepower.

When you first hit the road, this compact SUV will cruise for up to 24 miles on battery power alone. After it depletes its all-electric range, the Outlander PHEV switches to hybrid power, and if the hybrid battery runs out of juice, this SUV will run solely on gasoline power.

2021 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV on the Road

Although it can operate using only gasoline, the Outlander PHEV is thriftiest with a charged battery. Recharging times vary according to power source: with a 120-volt, 8-amp outlet, you can recharge the Outlander’s battery in 14.5 hours. A 120-volt, 12-amp outlet reduces charging time to nine hours, or install a 240-volt, 16-amp outlet in your garage for a quick, four-hour charge. Finally, you can swing by a DC Fast Charge station to refill the battery up to 80 percent in just 25 minutes.

Standard:

  • 2.4L four-cylinder engine (126 hp, 147 lb-ft)
  • 13.8 kWh lithium-ion battery-powered motor (60kW output to the front wheels, 70kW to the rear wheels)
  • Battery heater
  • One-speed direct drive transmission
  • All-wheel drive
  • Front MacPherson strut suspension with stabilizer bar
  • Rear multi-link suspension with stabilizer bar
  • Electric power steering
  • Front ventilated disc brakes, solid rear disc brakes
  • 11.3-gallon fuel tank
  • Sport mode button
  • Twin Motor S-AWC drive model selector with Sport mode
  • Electric shift lever
  • EV drive mode switches (EV Priority, Charge, Save)
  • Cruise control

Fuel Economy

According to the EPA, the Outlander PHEV’s hybrid performance delivers 74 MPGe combined. With a full tank of gas and a fully charged battery, you should be able to achieve about 320 miles of total driving range. Running on gas alone, the Outlander PHEV earns 26 mpg combined.

In addition to its thrifty hybrid performance, the 2021 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV has a pretty significant all-electric range of up to 24 miles. If you tend to stick to short drives around town, you may hardly ever need to refill the gas tank. After the Outlander PHEV exhausts its all-electric capacity, it drives like a regular hybrid, using both its gas-powered engine and all-electric motor.

Towing Capacity

Properly equipped, the 2021 Outlander PHEV can tow up to 1,500 pounds. If you’ve got a Jet Ski, snowmobile, or other small recreational vehicle at home, Mitsubishi’s plug-in hybrid SUV can take it along for the ride.

Exterior Features

From the outside, this plug-in hybrid SUV looks clean-cut and modern. A long list of standard features — including LED daytime running lights, rear privacy glass, and chrome trim — add modern style. The Outlander PHEV is also practical, bringing rain-sensing wipers, a remote power liftgate, and a tire repair kit along for the ride.
