Smooth, Efficient Power

‍

Powering that confidence is the Outlander PHEV’s plug-in hybrid system. This setup uses two electric motors — one on each axle — for smooth and responsive acceleration and that sure-footed AWD. Electric torque arrives instantly, giving the Outlander PHEV a confident surge from stoplights and for highway merging. That quiet power contributes to a calmer drive, too.

‍

The 2026 Outlander PHEV gets a slightly larger battery from last year, up to 22.7 kWh. That bumps the electric range up to 72 kilometres, which is more than enough for most people’s daily commutes. The great thing about the Outlander PHEV is, if you do end up travelling farther, the fuel-efficient 2.4L engine will take you to a total range of 690 km before the need to fill up or plug in.

‍

It’s also one of the only PHEVs available that offer DC fast charging, which tops up the battery from 10 per cent to 80 per cent in around 29 minutes. Of course, it also supports Level 1 and Level 2 charging.

Plug In, Save Big

‍

And that’s where the low cost of ownership comes in: the key is plugging in overnight, every night. No matter where you are in Canada, electricity is less expensive to use than gasoline, which means you save money by avoiding the pumps.

‍

As an example, if you used Ontario’s overnight off-peak rate of 9.8 cents per kWh, it would cost just $2.22 to charge the battery fully from zero to 100 per cent for that 72-km range. That’s like driving from Ottawa to just outside Smiths Falls, Ontario. Or Halifax to Truro, Nova Scotia; Montreal to Saint-Sauveur, Quebec; or even Regina to Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan — all for about the same price of the medium double-double coffee you’ll be sipping along the way.

Traction When You Need It Most

‍

Mitsubishi’s Super All-Wheel Control is one of the most advanced and capable all-wheel-drive systems available. It detects wheelspin and loss of traction in milliseconds, instantly sending torque to the wheels that need it most. The system also has the ability to apply brakes at individual wheels to counter skids in an emergency. It all works seamlessly to make your drive safer and more comfortable, without you even knowing it’s working.

‍

For added vehicle stability and control, the Outlander PHEV also offers seven driver-selectable modes: Eco, Power, Normal, Tarmac, Gravel, Snow, and Mud. These change vehicle dynamics to better suit road conditions, giving you even more control.

Full of Features

‍

If the Outlander PHEV is frugal to drive, it certainly feels more premium inside the cabin. A host of safety and convenience features — both standard and optional — make the journey more pleasant and inspire confidence for everyone.

‍

A suite of advanced electronic safety features, such as Blind Spot Warning, Forward Collision Mitigation and Rear Automatic Emergency Braking, among others, come standard, with even more available as options. They offer an extra set of eyes and a helping hand under every driving condition, reducing driver fatigue on longer routes.

‍

Versatile three-row seating lets the whole family — with either two legs or four — come along for the ride. And up to 1,832 L of cargo space offers the utility you expect from an SUV. And with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, premium Yamaha sound systems, three-zone climate controls and countless other comfort features, the ride can be soothingly calm or joyously entertaining — it’s all how you want it to be.

‍

And that’s the thing about the Outlander PHEV. Mitsubishi took care of the engineering and design so you could have complete confidence in your drive and enjoy what really matters. It’s a perfect fit for Canadian lifestyles.
