Key Features of the 2025 Mitsubishi Outlander Plug-In Hybrid

Twin Motor S-AWC (Super All-Wheel Control)

Mitsubishi’s signature S-AWC shines in the 2025 Outlander Plug-In Hybrid by pairing electric motors at the front and rear with precise control logic to enhance traction, stability, and cornering performance. Because torque from electric motors arrives quickly and is managed independently at each axle, S-AWC can respond rapidly to changing grip. On wet highways, snow-covered backroads, or gravel pull-offs, the system works to help the SUV track confidently and maintain the driver’s intended line. It’s complemented by a Drive Mode Selector that tailors throttle response, steering weight, and stability control for Normal, Power, Eco, Tarmac, Gravel, Snow, and Mud. The result is a composed, secure driving feel, whether you are navigating city streets or heading off the beaten path for a weekend getaway.

38-mile All-Electric Range and Up to 420-mile Total Range

With an advanced lithium-ion drive battery and a parallel hybrid powertrain anchored by a 2.4L MIVEC DOHC 4-cylinder, the 2025 Outlander Plug-In Hybrid can travel an estimated 38 miles on electric power alone when charged, then seamlessly transition to hybrid mode for up to 420 miles of total range. This duality means you can complete many daily trips without using gasoline, then head out on a family road trip without planning charging stops. The battery’s 20.0 kWh capacity supports meaningful EV usage, while intelligent energy management recaptures braking energy and optimizes how the engine and motors work together in real time. It is a practical approach to electrification that rewards consistent charging habits and keeps weekend flexibility firmly intact.

Seven Drive Modes

Versatility is built into the 2025 Outlander Plug-In Hybrid through seven selectable drive modes that adapt the SUV’s behavior to your surroundings or preferences. Normal mode balances responsiveness and comfort, while Eco prioritizes efficiency. Power sharpens throttle mapping for more immediate acceleration when merging or passing. Tarmac, Gravel, Snow, and Mud tailor S-AWC calibration, traction control, and torque distribution to match surface conditions, helping the tires maintain contact and grip. This thoughtful calibration supports confidence in rain-slicked corners, slushy mornings, or rutted trails—ideal for families who drive year-round in variable weather. With a quick turn of the selector, the Outlander Plug-In Hybrid feels ready for whatever the day brings.

MI-PILOT Assist™

Available MI-PILOT Assist™ adds a layer of driver assistance designed to reduce fatigue on longer drives. By combining features like Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop and Go and Lane Keep Assist with lane centering on select highways, MI-PILOT Assist™ helps maintain a set following distance and keep the vehicle confidently centered. When traffic slows, the system can bring the SUV to a stop and resume when it is safe. It pairs with additional safety technologies, including Forward Collision Mitigation (FCM) with Pedestrian Detection, to help support awareness around town and on the interstate. Think of MI-PILOT Assist™ as an attentive co-pilot that helps the drive feel smoother, especially during rush hour or extended highway travel.

Three-Row Seating for Up to Seven

The 2025 Outlander Plug-In Hybrid emphasizes comfort and practicality with a flexible three-row cabin. Families can seat up to seven, with second-row seating designed for easy access to the third row when needed. Available amenities such as three-zone climate control, heated front and rear seats, and premium materials elevate the experience on longer trips. Technology is equally considered: a 12.3-inch Full Digital Driver Display presents clear information, while a 9-inch center touchscreen offers Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ integration. On select trims, a Head-Up Display (HUD) helps keep key data in your line of sight, and an available Bose audio system provides crisp, immersive sound. The space converts quickly from people-hauling to gear-carrying, making it a smart match for active households.
