2025 Mitsubishi Outlander Plug-In Hybrid

Introduction

The newest Outlander PHEV builds upon its predecessor's foundation with refined styling, enhanced electric capabilities, and advanced features. As a plug-in hybrid, it allows you to handle your daily Kennewick commute on electric power while maintaining the freedom to take longer trips using the hybrid powertrain.

Exterior

You'll notice the bold front fascia featuring the "Dynamic Shield" design language, with sleek LED headlights and daytime running lights creating a distinctive presence. The sculpted body lines flow smoothly from front to rear, while the two-tone roof treatment adds a premium touch. The 20-inch alloy wheels fill out the wheel wells confidently, and the power-operated tailgate makes loading groceries at your local Kennewick shopping center convenient.

Interior

Step inside to discover a thoughtfully designed cabin that accommodates up to seven passengers across three rows. The interior presents a modern aesthetic with premium materials, including available semi-aniline leather seating and genuine aluminum trim. You'll appreciate the panoramic sunroof that bathes the cabin in natural light, perfect for enjoying those clear Eastern Washington days.

The driver-focused cockpit features a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and a 9-inch touchscreen infotainment system compatible with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The center console includes a rotary drive mode selector and electronic gear shifter for intuitive control. Second-row passengers enjoy adjustable seats with available heating, while the third row provides additional flexibility for occasional use.

Performance

The Outlander PHEV's powertrain combines a 2.4-liter gasoline engine with two electric motors – one at each axle. This setup delivers responsive acceleration and confident handling through Kennewick's varied weather conditions. The Super All-Wheel Control (S-AWC) system provides enhanced traction and stability, particularly useful during winter drives through the Horse Heaven Hills or summer adventures to the Cascade Mountains.

You can select from several driving modes to optimize performance:

• EV Mode: Pure electric driving
• Series Hybrid: Electric motors power the wheels with the engine generating electricity
• Parallel Hybrid: Engine and motors work together for maximum performance
• Battery Save: Maintains charge for later use
• Battery Charge: Uses the engine to recharge the battery while driving

The regenerative braking system features paddle shifters that allow you to adjust the level of energy recovery, adding both efficiency and engagement to your drive.
