Mitsubishi brings the new Outlander PHEV MY25 with 4WD to Europe to revive its success

Mitsubishi Motors Corporation (MMC) has achieved many milestones in the automotive industry since its founding 90 years ago, pioneering the development of permanent all-wheel drive 4WD systems. In its legacy of innovation, the new Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV MY25 comes with Mitsubishi’s plug-in hybrid technology and the experience of having sold 250,000 cars in Europe in less than 10 years

From the early days of the 4WD system in the iconic PX-33 to the sophisticated Super-All Wheel Control (S-AWC) technology found in the Outlander PHEV, Mitsubishi has gradually improved and adapted to consumer demands. This system, driven by the excellence acquired over the years, such as in the World Rally Car, guarantees that it will be a good all-wheel drive system.

The heart of the new Outlander PHEV is a benchmark, being one of the first SUVs to introduce this hybrid technology. It now features improved power from its independent electric motors on the front and rear axles, which reach 85 kW and 100 kW respectively, just enough to give this version incredible traction.

It comes with a refreshed exterior design and a much-improved interior that is, of course, up to the standard of a badge like this one. S-AWC is not just about raw power, but about a delicate balance between torque and vehicle stability, which MMC engineers have meticulously refined in every aspect, from longitudinal torque distribution to the active yaw control (AYC), ensuring precise and safe handling in any situation.

The key to achieving this balance lies in the different driving modes offered by the Outlander PHEV, adapting to the driver’s needs and terrain conditions:

• Normal: Balance between performance and fuel efficiency.
• Asphalt: Quick response and agility on paved roads.
• Gravel: Powerful traction and stability on unpaved roads.
• Snow: Optimal control in snowy conditions.
• Mud: Improved handling on muddy terrain.
• Eco: Maximum fuel efficiency.
• Power: Maximum power for demanding maneuvers.
