OUTLANDER PHEV
THE MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER PHEV (PLUG-IN HYBRID ELECTRIC VEHICLE) IS THE UK’S BESTSELLING PLUG-IN VEHICLE. SINCE ITS INTRODUCTION IN 2014 IT HAS TRANSFORMED THE
ULTRA-LOW EMISSION VEHICLE LANDSCAPE, ACCOUNTING FOR AROUND HALF OF ALL SALES
IN THE SEGMENT. THE VEHICLE IS DERIVED FROM THE THIRD GENERATION OF THE MITSUBISHI
OUTLANDER MODEL SERIES, WHICH PIONEERED THE ‘CROSS-OVER’ VEHICLE DESIGN CONCEPT
IN 2001, AND HAS SOLD 1.28 MILLION UNITS SINCE. THE VEHICLE HAS TAKEN THE AUTOMOTIVE
WORLD BY STORM AND NOW THE NEW OUTLANDER PHEV HAS ARRIVED, REPRESENTING AN
EVOLUTION IN STYLE, COMFORT AND DYNAMIC PERFORMANCE.
