Just a few months ago, the all-new 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander was released across the country, including right here at San Jose Mitsubishi in California. The vehicle has already become quite popular not just here but everywhere it’s available, and soon it will be joined by the lineup’s new flagship crossover, the 2023 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV. While the gasoline version has laid the groundwork, the plug-in hybrid Outlander is sure to blow the roof off upon its arrival sometime in the second half of the 2022 calendar year.

“Since its launch in May 2022, the gasoline version of [the] all-new Outlander has been a homerun, setting sales records monthly even in the face of global supply challenges. When sales begin in the U.S., the 2023 Outlander PHEV will take its place as the flagship of the Mitsubishi fleet. It is the most advanced and best equipped vehicle we have ever sold, and it is the perfect blend of quiet and clean electric motoring, with the range and ease of refueling of a gasoline-powered vehicle.”

Powertrain & Drive System

While Mitsubishi hasn’t released very much information about the upcoming Outlander PHEV, we know that it will adopt a lot of the changes and enhancements that came to its gas-powered counterpart. It will continue to offer many of the same great aspects of that vehicle, including its spacious cabin and cargo area and functionality that’s both versatile and comfortable. The only real details we have are what its powertrain and drive system will be.

The all-new Outlander PHEV will be powered by the newest version of the twin-motor 4WD PHEV system that has been perfected by Mitsubishi Motors. While exact specifications have yet to be released, the company has stated that the new motors will be more powerful than its predecessors. In addition, the powertrain’s drive battery has been increased in size, allowing for even more all-electric driving. This powertrain is of course tethered to the already iconic Super All-Wheel Control system that has become commonplace on the Mitsubishi lineup, and duo on which we cannot wait to get our hands.

While we don’t have anything more specific than sometime in the second half of the year, we’ll be sure to fill you in as we find out more about the upcoming Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV. We cannot wait for it to arrive so that we can see you driving one off the lot.
