The All New 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander Plug-In Hybrid (PHEV)
All New Outlander Plug-In Hybrid EV (PHEV)
On the 15th August 2022, Mitsubishi will be releasing the new MY22 Outlander PHEV. This will be a major update over the outgoing PHEV which had ceased production when the ZM Outlander was released late in 2021.
Finally, 7 Seats for the whole family
For the first time ever, the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV will be available with 7 seats, although only in the higher grade models. There will be a total of 4 grades being released in the following configurations :
ES - 5 Seat
Aspire - 5 Seat
Exceed - 7 Seat
Exceed Tourer - 7 Seat
New Generation Power
Powering the PHEV will be a new generation EV system with significant improvements over the outgoing model. Mitsubishi’s latest numbers show that the PHEV will have :
- 44% more battery capacity (20kWh vs 18.8kWh)
- 24% more fuel capacity (56L vs 45L)
- Up to 50% more Pure EV range
Potentially these numbers could allow you to drive up to 800km on a single tank. With fuel costs rising and no sign of relief, this could mean a meaningful decrease in running costs.
These changes doesn’t mean the new PHEV will be a slouch either with the twin motor S-AWC system combining to increase the power output to 185kW and 450Nm in the power drive modes. This represents 40% more power and 35% more torque than the previous PHEV.
5 Star ANCAP Safety Rating
Mitsubishi’s MITEC safety system will also include :
- Adaptive Cruise Control
- Forward Collision Mitigation
- Emergency Lane Assist
- Lane Departure Prevention
- Lane Departure Warning
- Blind Spot Warning
- Driver Attention Alert
- Traffic sign Recognition
This will ensure the new PHEV will keep a 5 Star ANCAP safety rating and open alternative energy possibilities for fleet departments as well as the passenger transport and food delivery industries.
Our Final Thoughts
The new PHEV is sounding like a winner with a combination of new technologies and a growing list of standard safety features. Offering a 7 seat for the first time will surely appeal to growing families who can now spend less on running costs and more on the important things.
