PERFORMANCE
Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV

Reliable performance is always a top priority when selecting your next SUV. You need engineering that can take you anywhere and do it efficiently. While both models use hybrid technology, there are key differences to keep in mind.

Capability

Hybrid SUVs combine traditional gas engines with the added power of electric motors. Combining these two power sources offers a more dynamic drive that can take you farther. In the Sorento Hybrid, the two engines combine to generate 227 horsepower, enough for your everyday family trips. The Outlander PHEV outputs even more raw strength for your drive with a combined 248 horsepower.

Drive modes allow you to make small adjustments to a vehicle’s engineering to suit the occasion. The Sorento Hybrid has five different modes to choose from for plenty of versatility. The Outlander PHEV, however, gives you even more options with its seven standard drive modes . You can choose from specialized modes for any situation, including:

  • Power
  • Tarmac
  • Gravel
  • Snow
  • Mud
Efficiency

Hybrid technology allows for significant increases in fuel economy. The electric supplement to the fuel tank will allow you to explore more while saving time and money at the pump. The key difference between the Outlander PHEV and the Sorento Hybrid is how much the electric engine contributes to your drive.

When properly equipped, the Sorento Hybrid achieves a combined 36 MPG, giving you plenty of drive time with each full tank. Plugging in and charging the Outlander PHEV, though, makes it a remarkably efficient ride. It achieves 64 MPGe when properly equipped and even allows for driving up to 38 miles solely on electric power. The Outlander PHEV has a total maximum driving range of 420 miles —a lot of distance between pit stops!

PERSONALIZATION
Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV

An SUV as unique as you will make you excited to drive. There are plenty of options to consider when shopping for your next ride, from how it looks to its features. Having more options to choose from means you’ll have a better chance of finding your perfect match.

Colors

First impressions happen the moment others lay eyes on your SUV. Sleek curves and eye-catching angles will go a long way in making your ride stand out on the road. If you’re looking to show off your personality and tastes, you’ll want plenty of paint finishes to explore.

The Outlander PHEV gives you a wide range of options to explore with its 12 available colors . The Sorento Hybrid only features six, half of what Mitsubishi offers. When you shop for an Outlander PHEV, you can choose from attention-grabbing colors like:

  • Red Diamond
  • Cosmic Blue
  • Deep Bronze
  • Alloy Silver
  • Black Diamond
Trims

A vehicle’s trim levels are where you’ll find unique setups and combinations of features. Each one has its own systems, technologies, and more that make the trim different from the others. More trims mean more options to find the car that fits your lifestyle and needs.

The Sorento Hybrid has just two trims to choose between: the standard model and one with extra features included. The Outlander PHEV gives you far more trims to examine with six unique models. Choose from the added tech of the Platinum Edition, the imposing presence of the SEL Black Edition, or the powerful spirit of the RALLIART, among others.

SPACE
Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV

Size matters when you’re considering your next SUV. Having enough room inside for your family and friends will make adventures more fun, and maneuverability comes in handy once you reach the city.

Interior

A road trip is better when you have your favorite people with you. An SUV that can accommodate everyone will make those journeys more memorable. To make that happen, you’ll need a cabin that everyone on board can relax in.

While the Sorento Hybrid can seat six passengers, there’s still the chance that someone will be left behind. That’s why the Outlander PHEV comes standard with seating for seven. Each seat has ample room for riders to stretch out and get comfortable while you get your trip underway.

Exterior

Once you get to your destination, parking may prove to be a challenge. Between crowded lots, narrow alleys, and on-street parking that varies in size, your SUV must be agile and nimble to claim a spot. A compact exterior design will help you fit in more places.

The Outlander PHEV has a surprisingly compact exterior given its spacious cabin size. It measures 185.4 inches long, giving you the extra wiggle room needed to take the perfect parking space. The Sorento Hybrid measures 189 inches long, taking up more space.
