Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV vs Toyota RAV4 Hybrid Fuel Economy

As two hybrid vehicles, you can expect great gas mileage from both the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV and the Toyota RAV4 Hybrid. While that is most definitely the case, the Mitsubishi can offer you more EV miles compared to the Toyota—the Mitsubishi is a plug-in hybrid, while the Toyota is just a hybrid.
 

In terms of mileage, the Outlander PHEV offers an EPA-estimated 320-mile driving range. In other words, it offers an EPA-estimated 74 MPGe with 24 of those miles operating solely on electric power. The Toyota boasts an EPA-estimated 41 city/38 highway MPG rating.

While both vehicles will keep you away from the gas station or charging station for longer, you can expect more all-electric miles coming from the Mitsubishi.

Drive Mode Selector—Where Do You Want to Go?

When you’re making plans to go off the grid for a while, you have multiple options—to the woods, to the water, to the mountains, and more. Luckily, both of these SUVs offer drive mode selector systems to keep you cruising on any terrain ahead.

 

The Mitsubishi’s drive mode selector standardizes these drive modes:

• Normal
• Gravel
• S-AWC ECO
• Sport
• Snow

The Toyota RAV4 Hybrid offers a similar system with comparable drive modes; however, it goes without a standard snow mode. If you want to take your SUV on a road trip to somewhere where there is snow, the Mitsubishi may be your best choice.
