2025 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV arrives with larger battery pack

ABU DHABI: Mitsubishi has revealed the updated Outlander plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV), showcasing significant enhancements under the hood along with subtle cosmetic changes. So far, only the 2025 Outlander PHEV variant has been unveiled, with a petrol-only version expected to debut in 2025. Production for the revamped PHEV is set to begin in late 2024.

The revamped Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV has retained the Dynamic Shield front end that can be seen on the Montero Sport. It also boasts new LED lighting. While no changes have been made to the side profile, it rides on 20-inch redesigned wheels. For enhanced styling, it is being offered in a new Moonstone Gray paint option.

The updated Mitsubishi Outlander comes with a new 12.3-inch infotainment display that has replaced the previous nine-inch unit. The widescreen supports wireless connectivity via Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Additionally, ventilated seats and a new eight-piece Yamaha speaker system enhance the look and feel of the cabin. These upgrades elevate the interior experience.

The global-spec Outlander PHEV features a 53-litre fuel tank and a larger 22.7-kilowatt-hour battery, offering a total range of 844 kilometres and an electric-only range of 86 kilometres. The refreshed model retains its all-wheel-drive system and the 2.4-litre engine from its predecessor, delivering a combined output of 301 horsepower.

The crossover is available with various driving modes including Power, Tarmac, Economy, Normal, Gravel, Mud, and Snow. Additionally, you can optimize power delivery and efficiency by selecting a parallel or series hybrid mode.

Mitsubishi has not yet revealed the 2025 Outlander PHEV’s market-specific pricing details.
