Mitsubishi reveals design of all-new Outlander PHEV

Updated Feb 24, 2022 | Same topic: Automotive Industry Updates

The PHEV model got a lot beefier and muscular.

Mitsubishi Motor Corporation (MMC) revealed the all-new design of the Outlander PHEV ahead of its online world premiere. If the new design looks familiar, then that could be explained by the new fourth-gen Mitsubishi Outlander that made its debut last February 2021. It’s almost impossible to spot differences between the two.

One can think of the all-new design along the lines of the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross and Eclipse Cross PHEV. Both the gasoline and PHEV models of the Eclipse Cross look similar from the front to the back. Now, the new Outlander PHEV will be clothed the same as its gasoline counterpart for the 2022 model.

The only significant difference between the Mitsubishi Outlander Philippines and the new Outlander PHEV is the integration of a black roof on the latter. As for similarities, the redesigned model now shares the brand’s signature Dynamic Shield front fascia that can be seen on most Mitsubishi models including the Xpander, Montero Sport, and Strada.

As said earlier, no official specifications have been rolled out. However, MMC confirmed that the new Outlander PHEV will offer more power and a better electric range. It will also utilize an improved Super All-Wheel Control (S-AWC) paired with multiple drive modes.
