Chase Adventure with the 2024 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV

That solar eclipse the U.S. experienced earlier this week, April 8, 2024, was mind-blowing. Two total solar eclipses in less than a decade are unheard of, and the event drew crowds from across the world to many places in the country. South Florida didn’t get much of a look, but anyone traveling to one of the states in totality got quite the light show. When traveling long distances, having a plug-in hybrid SUV that can offer plenty of mileage with gas and electric power is a great benefit. One plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) that can go the distance is the 2024 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV.

Powered by a 2.4-liter inline-four-cylinder engine and a 20 kWh lithium-ion battery powering a twin motor system, the 2024 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV can handle more off-road adventure than some might think. Able to generate 475 lb-ft of torque, consumers could make use of this kind of power to go a little off-road or travel to a favorite camping site. Able to come equipped with 20-inch wheels, LED lighting all around the exterior can help light up the path. If chasing down a celestial event like the solar eclipse, the 2024 Mitsubishi Outlander benefits from an upgrade to the powertrain in 2022, offering a fuel economy of 64 MPGequivalent, and a total range is 420 miles with a fully charged battery and a full tank of gas. Of that 420-mile range, the plug-in hybrid comes with an all-electric range (AER) of 38 miles if choosing to drive on battery power alone.

If not camping and just going for a long drive into the night to get away from light pollution, the 2024 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV offers a comfy ride. Able to opt-in for a power panoramic sunroof, consumers can get the perfect view of the night sky with the comfort of heated front seats and dual-zone automatic climate control. It’s a little bit of luxury for the driver and front seat passengers with 8-way power adjustable seats with power lumbar support, but the rear passengers can also control the temperature with an available triple-zone automatic climate control system.

Mitsubishi Motors is still working out its upcoming operating system with Google and the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance, so the latest tech is still the smartphone-link display audio (SDA) system. Standard on an 8-inch touchscreen, past the base, the 2024 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV comes with a 9-inch touchscreen that adds navigation and HD radio to the SDA system. Every 2024 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV comes with Bluetooth wireless technology, Google Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, steering wheel audio, phone, and voice recognition control. Every road trip needs a good navigator and a DJ so the driver can keep focused on the road. If listening to music is what makes or breaks a road trip, consumers can also opt-in for a BOSE premium sound system with nine speakers.

For a vehicle that goes the distance, maintenance and upkeep are expected. Mitsubishi knows this, and that’s why all Mitsubishi vehicles come covered by a basic limited warranty for 5 years/60,000 miles, a powertrain limited warranty for 10 years/100,000 miles, and 7 years or 100,000 miles of anti-corrosion coverage.
