Key Features of the 2025 Mitsubishi Outlander Plug-In Hybrid

Twin Motor S-AWC with Seven Drive Modes

Mitsubishi’s rally-bred Super All-Wheel Control (S-AWC) is paired with twin electric motors — one at each axle — to deliver precise, nearly instantaneous torque distribution. That means confident traction off the line, surefooted control in mixed weather, and composed handling when the road turns curvy. A Drive Mode Selector offers seven distinct calibrations — Normal, Power, Eco, Tarmac, Gravel, Snow, and Mud — so you can tailor throttle response, stability thresholds, and torque split to your conditions. Power mode sharpens response for merging and passing, Eco optimizes efficiency, and Snow or Mud modes help maintain momentum on slick or soft surfaces. The result is an SUV that inspires confidence, whether you are navigating crowded suburban streets, dirt access roads, or winter-weather commutes.

20.0 kWh Lithium-Ion Battery and 2.4L MIVEC Powertrain

The heart of the Outlander Plug-in Hybrid is a sophisticated parallel-series hybrid system that seamlessly blends electric and gas power. The 20.0 kWh lithium-ion battery supports an all-electric range ideal for daily errands, school runs, and commuting, while the efficient 2.4L MIVEC DOHC 4-cylinder engine extends total range and can also act as a generator under certain conditions. This architecture allows the system to choose the most efficient or powerful operating mode based on speed, load, and battery charge, switching between EV Drive, Series Hybrid, and Parallel Hybrid as needed. You get quiet, smooth EV operation in town and robust, confident acceleration on the highway — with no need to change your driving habits.

DC Fast Charging to Approximately 80% in 38 Minutes

Charging flexibility is built in. With DC Fast Charging capability, you can bring the battery to about 80% in roughly 38 minutes when you find a compatible public charger on the go. For daily convenience, a professionally installed Level 2 home charger can replenish the battery to 100% overnight, so you wake up ready to run errands on pure electric power. The vehicle also supports 120V/240V charging, giving you options whether you live in a single-family home or have access to community charging infrastructure. Combined with the generous total range, this charging versatility removes the guesswork from plug-in ownership and reinforces the Outlander Plug-in Hybrid’s reputation for practical, real-world usability.

Three-Row Seating for Up to Seven

Inside, the Outlander Plug-in Hybrid is designed around people and cargo. Three rows accommodate up to seven passengers, with thoughtful storage solutions and flexible seating configurations that make it easy to switch from school pick-up duty to weekend adventures. Available amenities such as semi-aniline premium leather-appointed seating, a power panoramic sunroof, and three-zone climate control bring a premium touch to daily driving. The driver is greeted by a 12.3-inch Full Digital Driver Display that clearly presents EV range, energy flow, and driver-assist information, while the center display supports Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ so your playlists, maps, and messages are always at hand. Available Bose audio transforms road time into quality time with crisp, immersive sound.

MI-PILOT Assist™ and Advanced Safety

Safety and driver confidence are core to the Outlander Plug-in Hybrid. Available MI-PILOT Assist™ integrates adaptive cruise control and lane-centering support to help reduce fatigue on longer highway drives. Forward Collision Mitigation with Pedestrian Detection monitors the road ahead and can assist with braking in certain emergencies. Depending on trim, the model offers a robust airbag suite and active-safety technologies that enhance awareness and help protect occupants. From busy city streets to long stretches of highway, the safety systems are tuned to support your attentiveness, not replace it — and they deliver the kind of calm assurance that drivers appreciate in changing traffic and weather conditions.
