Mitsubishi EV/PHEV Models in Scarborough, ON
At Rouge Valley Mitsubishi in Scarborough, ON, we take pride in showcasing Mitsubishi's journey in electric and plug-in hybrid innovation. This journey began with the groundbreaking i-MiEV, one of the first mass-produced electric vehicles (EVs).
Today, Mitsubishi continues to lead the way with the 2024 Outlander Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV), a testament to the brand's commitment to eco-friendly performance and cutting-edge technology. Let’s explore how the Outlander PHEV carries forward this legacy and what makes it the perfect choice for the modern driver.
Mitsubishi i-MiEV: The Pioneer of Electric Mobility
In 2009, Mitsubishi introduced the i-MiEV globally as the first highway-capable electric car. It debuted in the U.S. in 2012 under the name Mitsubishi i and was recognized as the “Greenest Vehicle of the Year” by the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy. The i-MiEV culminated 40 years of Mitsubishi's electric vehicle development, addressing environmental concerns and reducing reliance on petroleum-based energy.
The i-MiEV was a small car with significant advantages. Its compact size is useful for urban driving, while the spacious interior comfortably seated up to four people. With a 16-kilowatt battery and a rear-mounted electric motor, it offered a driving range of up to 150 km, making it perfect for daily commutes. Mitsubishi's MiEV technology optimized energy flow for smooth acceleration, efficient regenerative braking, and adequate battery management.
2024 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV: Legacy Continued
Is the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV Completely Electric? No; building on the legacy of the i-MiEV, the 2024 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV integrates the best of electric and hybrid technology. At its heart is a 2.4-litre four-cylinder engine equipped with Mitsubishi's Innovative Valve-timing Electronic Control system (MIVEC), delivering 131 horsepower and 144 lb-ft of torque. Many ask, “What is the Range of the Mitsubishi PHEV on a Full Charge?” and the answer is 61 kilometres on a full charge.
Mitsubishi complements this engine with twin AC synchronous permanent magnetic motors, which provide a total power output of 248 horsepower and an impressive torque of 332 lb-ft in max POWER mode. The advanced 20 kWh Lithium-ion battery guarantees robust performance. It has a voltage of 350 volts and efficient charging times—approximately 38 minutes for an 80% charge using a CHAdeMO quick charger.
The Outlander PHEV’s drivetrain features Mitsubishi's Super All-Wheel Control (S-AWC), which offers unparalleled handling and stability and is essential for tackling diverse Canadian terrains. This plug-in hybrid SUV boasts a combined fuel consumption rate of just 3.6 Le/100 km (gas and electric), significantly reducing fuel costs and environmental impact. The vehicle's electric-only range is 61 km, while the total driving range extends to 687 km.
Apart from its performance, the Outlander PHEV offers up to 1,822 litres of cargo space and can tow up to 1,500 pounds, perfect for family trips and adventures. MI-PILOT Assist includes Adaptive Cruise Control and Lane Keep Assist, making long drives more manageable and safer.
LED headlights warrant clear visibility in all conditions. With Mitsubishi Connect, use your smartphone to control cabin temperature and locate your vehicle. The Bose premium audio system with nine speakers provides an immersive sound experience, augmenting every journey.
