Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV

The Mitsubishi Outlander is a car with an impeccable pedigree – and now there’s a new and exciting addition to the range. The acclaimed Outlander PHEV (Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle) is, quite simply, the best 4×4 SUV PHEV on the market: the product of years of research and a passion to create a car that can fulfil the promise of a true hybrid.

It’s incredibly cost-effective – and it qualifies for the Government’s £5,000 Plug-in Car Grant. And the car is very kind to the planet. Emissions are as low as 44g of CO2 per kilometre meaning no Vehicle Excise Duty is payable. What’s more, with just 5% Benefit in Kind (BIK), a company car driver enjoys a ‘virtual pay rise’.

Impressively, the car, which has a five-star Euro-NCAP safety rating, can be driven for up to 32.5 miles in pure EV mode – greater than the distance of the average daily commute – and with five seats and four-wheel-drive, it suits every lifestyle. It also boasts an app that lets you heat it in the morning, charge it while you sleep and control ownership wherever you are.

As part of the Mitsubishi Outlander family, quality and refinement come as standard, along with the pricing and impressive technology for which the Japanese manufacturer is so well known in the UK. The Outlander PHEV is a smooth and quiet ground-breaking new model that brings together the superior environmental performance and quietness of an EV, the stability and handling of a four-wheel-drive vehicle, and the practicality of an SUV. Commercial variants are available too – and whichever version is chosen, the driver can enjoy the following benefits:

  1. All-electric operation for everyday use and mainly motor-powered hybrid operations for longer journeys.
  2. Outstanding performance from its Twin Motor 4WD system.
  3. Unique functionality made possible by the high-capacity battery. Battery Charge mode allows the battery to be charged by the engine either when stationary or on the move.
  4. Low emissions from just 44g/km equates to major cost savings.
