Do you have your heart set on a new plug-in hybrid but aren't sure which one is best for your money? Plug-in hybrids are a good option for drivers around Murrieta, CA, who want to spend less time at the gas station and less money on fuel.
One of the top choices for 2024 is easily the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV from our new inventory. Starting at less than similar PHEV SUVs, this Outlander has seven driving modes and tons of tech inside. See what we and others love about the 2024 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV before you schedule a test drive at Mossy Mitsubishi Escondido.
Engine
The Outlander PHEV comes with a 2.4L 4-cylinder engine. With 131 horsepower and 144 pounds of torque per foot, the SUV offers plenty of power. Expect to get a combined 64 MPGe with this version of the Outlander. Mitsubishi claims the Outlander PHEV can go the distance as it has a total range of 420 miles.
Performance
Using a DC charger lets you charge the battery inside the SUV to 80% in only 38 minutes. You can even use a home charger. Switch between the electric battery and gas tank to get the range you need on long trips. With seven drive modes, you will have no problem finding the right one to handle the terrain ahead.
Mitsubishi also added paddle shifters to the steering wheel that work with the regenerative braking system to charge the battery. We also like the Save Mode that protects the battery and keeps you from running out of power while stuck in El Cajon, CA, traffic.
Interior
Get a feel for the luxury of the Outlander PHEV as soon as you climb into one of its comfy seats. You'll find room for seven passengers across the three rows. While dual-zone climate control comes standard, tri-zone climate control is also available to help you create the perfect environment for every passenger.
With the combo of new glass and other safety features, the Outlander PHEV blocks out both background noises and traffic sounds to improve your ride. We like how easily the rear seats fold to amp up the cargo space to more than 64 cubic feet. Stick with the power front seats or upgrade to seats with memory settings for everyone who drives.
Tech
My Mitsubishi Connect is just one of the tech goodies included on the Outlander PHEV. Download this app to your smartphone to schedule maintenance appointments and get the SUV ready. It also comes with features to help you get help during an emergency.
Mitsubishi offers an eight-inch touchscreen and an optional nine-inch touchscreen. This screen lets you set or adjust the cabin temperature and use built-in navigation. You also get access to Android Auto and Apple CarPlay via the touchscreen.
Safety
The lane departure warning system is one of the best safety features on the Outlander PHEV. It monitors your position on the road and sends an alert if you change positions or are in danger of slipping out of the lane. You also get alerts through the blind spot monitor system that monitors nearby traffic and other hazards.
With the rear cross-traffic alerts, the Outlander issues warnings of dangers behind you, too. We also like the forward collision mitigation system that includes pedestrian detection.
Now is a great time to stop by Mossy Mitsubishi Escondido and experience the 2024 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV. With regenerative braking and fast charging, it has a battery that lasts longer than similar models.
