All-New Outlander PHEV: Bigger, Smarter, More Powerful
This isn’t a mild update. The new Outlander PHEV is built from scratch.
It’s longer, wider, and taller than the outgoing model, giving it a stronger road presence and more cabin space — something Indian SUV buyers care about a lot.
Under the bonnet sits an enhanced 2.4-litre petrol engine, working alongside a traction battery and electric motors on both axles.
The result?
A combined output of 296 bhp (221 kW) and an impressive driving range of over 800 km.
That’s proper long-distance comfort without range anxiety. Paisa vasool for highway users.
Rally DNA Meets Hybrid Tech
The new Outlander PHEV gets Mitsubishi’s Super-All Wheel Control (S-AWC) system.
In simple words, the car intelligently manages power delivery and braking at all four wheels.
This means:
- Better grip on bad roads
- Strong stability at high speeds
- More confidence during monsoons and hill drives
Exactly the kind of tech Indian conditions demand.
Premium Cabin + 7 Seats (Finally!)
Inside, Mitsubishi has gone for a clean, premium, and practical layout.
The big news?
For the first time, a 7-seat version will be offered in markets like the UK.
If this comes to India later, it could directly take on:
- Toyota Fortuner (hybrid future)
- Skoda Kodiaq
- Hyundai Tucson (global hybrid versions)
L200 Series 7: Built for Work, Ready for Adventure
The new L200 Series 7 pickup doesn’t try to look fancy. It looks tough — and that’s the point.
The exterior is rugged and modern, while the cabin finally gets a serious upgrade in:
- Design
- Technology
- Material quality
Under the hood is a reworked 2.4-litre bi-turbo diesel engine, delivering more power and torque than before.
Perfect for towing, off-roading, or serious work use.
7 Drive Modes for Any Terrain
The L200 comes with Mitsubishi’s Super Select 4WD-II system.
Drivers can choose between seven driving modes:
- Normal
- ECO
- Gravel
- Snow
- Mud
- Sand
- Rock
This kind of flexibility is rare — even in premium SUVs sold in India today.
India Launch: What Are the Chances?
As of now, prices, exact specs, and India launch plans are not confirmed.
But here’s the reality:
- Hybrid demand in India is rising
- Pickups are slowly gaining interest
- Mitsubishi is planning a global comeback
If the Outlander PHEV enters India, expect pricing north of ₹45–50 lakh (ex-showroom). Not cheap — but premium buyers will notice.
