Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV unveiled prior to August PH release

MANILA: Mitsubishi Motor Philippines Corporation (MMPC) has previewed the upcoming Outlander plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) at the ongoing 10th Philippine International Motor Show (PIMS). 

For now, the company has not released a full list of the aforementioned model’s specifications and features, but this is the first time the next-generation PHEV model has been displayed in the Philippine setting. 

Notably, the all-new Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV is a returnee to the local market as MMPC previously sold the third-generation version some years ago. This fourth-gen version, however, that was displayed at the 10th PIMS received plenty of improvements, ranging from its exterior design and in-cabin amenities to its mechanical bits. 

So, what can we expect from the next-generation Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV?

Vehicle specifications

As mentioned above, Mitsubishi’s local arm has yet to disclose the specifications of the upcoming Outlander PHEV. However, the Department of Energy (DOE) has already recognized the electrified crossover, and its entry on the list has an attached spec sheet. 

For its powertrain, the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV uses a 2.4-liter gasoline engine paired with two electric motors (front and rear).

With its dual electric-motor setup, the Outlander PHEV offers all-wheel drive. It also uses a transaxle reduction gearbox and the Mitsubishi Super All-Wheel Control (S-AWC).
