We like the style Mitsubishi has and the Outlander is its best model by a country mile. With 102.1 cubic feet of passenger volume, the Outlander PHEV has a bit more space inside than the RAV4, but a bit less cargo space behind the third row of seats. The Outlander compares well to vehicles like the RAV4 Prime and Escape. The Outlander feels a bit longer and a bit narrower than many crossovers in its class.

Particularly given Mitsubishi’s 10-year drivetrain warranty and 5-year comprehensive warranty. That makes this electric vehicle a very good deal. However, dealers are discounting and the final cost to consumers in my state is between $27,766 and $34,219 for the Outlander after dealer discounts and incentives are considered. For a vehicle with the features the Outlander has that seems like a fair price. In my state of Massachusetts, that means that without any dealer discount at all the Outlander would likely cost a buyer $35,869 after the $1,500 state EV rebate and $5,836 federal tax credit are factored in. The total price of the 2020 Outlander PHEV was $43,205 including destination charges. Our tester this time was a GT S-AWC with the GT premium package which fancied up the leather seats with diamond-quilted stitching.

Knowing that both are about to begin sales of their own crossover PHEVs about this size, we had a different mindset when we tested the Outlander. However, during both of those tests, Ford and Toyota were not about to launch competitive models. And twice we found a LOT to like about this unique crossover. We have tested the Outlander PHEV twice before. And you likely read or heard more about those companies’ plans for EVs than you did Mitsubishi’s. Here’s a fun comparison Mitsubishi outsold Bollinger, Rivian, Canoo, Apple, Sony, and Google combined in EV sales in 2019. Including Mazda, Subaru, Buick, GMC, Cadillac, Hyundai and many others. A lot of brands didn’t sell that many EVs in the U.S. As low as that number may seem, those sales actually made the Outlander PHEV the 16th-best selling EV in America for the year. Inside EVs says that in 2019, Mitsubishi sold 2,810 of the crossovers in the U.S.

Either due to a lack of available inventory, customer disinterest, or a combination of the two, the Outlander PHEV has barely been selling. Mitsubishi Has been selling an Outlander plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) crossover in the U.S.
