Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV

Mitsubishi is betting big on the hybrid version of its most popular SUV of current times, the Outlander PHEV. The all-new Outlander PHEV sports Mitsubishi’s latest design philosophy, which makes it in line with other UVs from the Japanese automaker. The revised front fascia with two slat grille and sharp boomerang shaped chrome inserts around the fog lamps give it an intimidating stance, which was missing in the soft-looking erstwhile version of the SUV. The most important highlight of the Outlander PHEV, apart from the design and feature set list revision, is the excellent powertrain it has got. The SUV comes bolstered with a combination of a 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol powered engine and a twin-AC synchronous permanent magnetic motor. The petrol engine is good enough to produce 118 PS of maximum power and 186 Nm of torque. On the other hand, the motor produces 60kW of power on both front and rear wheels, while churning out 137 Nm of torque on front wheels and 195 Nm of torque on the rear ones. In combination, this powertrain generates a maximum power output of 192 PS. The Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV is available in two variants – SEL S-AWC and GT S-AWC.
