Did you know that there is a hybrid version coming? What is the 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV? San Jose Mitsubishi has answers for you and you can check out our new Outlander inventory now by following the link below.

What is a PHEV?

For those unfamiliar with the term PHEV, you can think of it as a hybrid that is closer to an all-electric vehicle than regular hybrids. That’s because a PHEV carries additional battery capacity and you can plug it in when you’re home to charge that battery.

In fact, PHEV stands for Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle. This type of vehicle has a small amount of all-electric range, but also still has an onboard gasoline engine. If you have a relatively short commute, you may be able to go most days without burning a drop of gas, but that gas engine is still there when you need it.

Specs for the 2022 Outlander PHEV

Now you know how a PHEV works, but what about the 2022 Outlander PHEV? Not all the specs have been released yet for the Outlander PHEV. As such, we don’t know its regular fuel economy, but we do know that in full EV mode it offers 74 MPGe.

When it comes to range, the Outlander PHEV can go up to 24 city miles on a full charge. Work less than 12 miles from where you live? Then you may be able to avoid burning any gas most days, just charge up overnight and you are good to go for the next morning. Though the regular 2022 Outlander is offered in both front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive, the 2022 Outlander PHEV comes with all-wheel drive as a standard feature.

Does the 2022 Outlander PHEV have a special warranty?

Indeed it does! Some people shy away from hybrid models because they are worried about the added complexity. Added complexity can mean more things to go wrong, but electric drivetrains are very reliable. What’s more, all PHEV components including the main-drive lithium-ion battery are covered under the same 10-year 100,000-mile warranty as the rest of the powertrain.

When will the 2022 Outlander PHEV be available?

The 2022 Outlander PHEV is expected to have a late release as the 2022 Outlander with a traditional gas powerplant is already available. Currently, Mitsubishi is targeting the second half of 2022 for the PHEV model, but we wouldn’t be surprised if it started showing up before then.
