Mitsubishi Motors Australia will launch the all-new Outlander plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) in early 2022.
The all-new vehicle will roll-out in Japan in the second half of this year.
Mitsubishi Motor Corporation (MMC) says with improved motor output and increased battery capacity over the current model, the new Outlander PHEV model delivers a more powerful road performance and greater driving range.
Based on the newly developed platform, integrated components and an optimised layout allow the new model to accommodate seven passengers in three rows, offering a new level of comfort and utility in an SUV says the manufacturer.
The Outlander PHEV debuted globally in 2013, and in other markets after that, as proof of MMC’s dedication in the research and development of electric vehicles (EVs) since 1964.
An EV for everyday driving and a hybrid vehicle for excursions, the Outlander PHEV offers the quiet and smooth – yet powerful – road performance unique to EVs, along with safe driving with peace of mind in various weather and road conditions says MMC.
Since the launch of the Outlander PHEV, it has been sold in more than 60 countries around the world.
In addition to the benefits of PHEVs, including environmental friendliness and low reliance on charging infrastructure, the twin-motor 4WD PHEV system delivers driving performance with a combination of safety, peace of mind and comfort says MMC.
In its Environmental Targets 2030, MMC says it has set a goal of a 40% reduction in the CO2 emissions of its new cars by 2030 through leveraging EVs — with PHEVs as the centrepiece.
