Interestingly, Mitsubishi includes a second charging port for the occasional DC fast charge as well. At 240 volts, or at a typical Level 2 public charger, that figure drops to 6.5 hours. On a basic 120-volt household outlet, the battery will charge to full in about 16 hours. Plug-in hybrids are designed to be charged overnight in most cases, producing enough range to tackle a moderate commute. What about the Outlander PHEV's charging? That's a lot lower than a RAV4 Prime (38 mpg) or a Sorento Plug-In Hybrid (34 mpg). Mitsubishi pegs it at 26 mpg in combined city/highway driving. However, fuel economy once the battery is depleted is disappointing. If you have a short commute and recharge frequently, driving the Outlander PHEV can really help save on gas. Electric range is up 14 miles from the 2022 model and is comparable to what other plug-in hybrid SUVs get, such as the Hyundai Tucson Plug-In and Toyota RAV4 Prime. With a fully charged battery, Mitsubishi estimates you can drive about 38 miles without using gas. What are the Outlander PHEV's range and mpg? Almost is the key word there - unfortunately, it doesn't work all the way to 0 mph.
It almost brings the Outlander PHEV to a complete stop without touching the brake pedal. Selecting this button in the Outlander activates the most aggressive regenerative braking - you lift off the throttle and the slowing of the vehicle helps to recharge the battery. One-pedal driving is commonplace among full battery electric vehicles, but not as much in plug-in hybrids.
What's cooler is a feature commonly known as one-pedal driving. In addition to the drive modes, the Outlander PHEV also has settings for the battery, allowing the driver to prioritize driving with electric power only or run the engine to save battery power for a later time. The typical Normal, Gravel and Snow are all present, but extras such as Tarmac and Power seem unnecessary to us for a crossover. Mitsubishi now has seven drive modes in the Outlander PHEV. Its new output is 249 horsepower - up from 221 hp in the 2022 model - and a healthy 332 lb-ft of torque. The 2023 Outlander PHEV has a similar powertrain configuration as before - there's a four-cylinder engine, two electric motors, the battery pack and standard all-wheel drive - but it's been updated to be more powerful. After that, the gas engine will switch on and the Outlander will drive like a regular hybrid. The battery powers electric motors that allow you to drive short distances on all-electric power. As a plug-in hybrid, the 2023 Outlander PHEV has a battery pack that you can charge at home or at a public charging station.
