Plush Interior Space
PHEV stands for plug-in hybrid electric vehicle, but it could also stand for plush, heavenly, elegant vehicle with the standard leather interior. The 8-way power adjustable driver and front passenger seats are equipped with heat and the seats can be fashioned in a diamond-quilted design. If you want to upgrade your steering wheel with heat and the standard leather, that’s available too.
Now, we can tell you about the cabin dimensions.

Vigorous Fuel Efficiency
You’re ready for action with the 2.4L MIVEC 4-cylinder engine with twin electric motors that can switch between three efficiency modes, including EV, Series Hybrid, and Parallel. Plus, the Outlander PHEV gives you Super All-Wheel Control (S-AWC) with five separate driving modes to rule the road, including S-AWC ECO, Gravel, Normal, Sport, and Snow.
With this engine, you can keep going on one charge for an EPA-estimated 320 miles before making a stop. You can achieve an EPA-estimated 74 combined MPGe that will make you feel good about every trip you take. Some trips may leave you needing to bring along more gear, which can be done with a towing capacity of 1,500 pounds when properly equipped, and the available tow hitch.
