- $17,000-plus premium over the standard Outlander
- First deliveries begin on August 15
Pricing and features for the 2023 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEVhave been confirmed just over a month before the electrified SUV arrives in dealerships.
Set to add an electrified variant to the existing, combustion engine-powered Outlander’s range, the new plug-in hybrid model will aim to put Mitsubishi at the top of Australia’s PHEV sales charts, leaning on the success of its outgoing model.
“Mitsubishi is proud of its pioneering plug-in hybrid EV heritage,” said Mitsubishi Motors Australia CEO, Shaun Westcott.
“With all-new Outlander signifying a significant shift in Mitsubishi’s design philosophy, it’s the perfect vehicle with which to showcase our continued leadership in the PHEV drivetrain space.
Pricing
As expected, the Outlander PHEV commands a hefty sum over its combustion-engine only counterpart, with the electrified model starting out at a $17,600 premium when comparing ES grades, setting the trend for all variants to be over $17,000 more than the standard offering.

Engine, drivetrain and fuel economy
Powered by a 2.4-litre, Atkinson cycle petrol engine, the combustion unit provides peak power of 98kW (up from 94kW in its predecessor).
It is assisted by a pair of electric motors on the front and rear axles – now producing 85kW and 100kW respectively – for a total system output of 185kW and 450Nm.
While higher outputs usually mean lower range, Mitsubishi has equipped the latest Outlander PHEV with a 20kWh battery pack, increased by 45 per cent over the outgoing model’s 13.8kWh pack.
Along with a bigger 56 litre fuel tank (up by 11 litres), the Outlander can achieve 900 kilometres when the tank and battery are full thanks to its 1.5L/100km combined fuel consumption.
The Outlander PHEV is also now able to run for up to 84km in its fully-electric mode on a single charge, 54 per cent longer than the car it replaces.
Three charging modes are available in the Outlander PHEV, depending on what facilities are available to its owners.
| Type | Parameters | Time |
| Mode 2 (240V AC domestic) | 0 – 100% charge | 12 hours |
| Mode 3 (240AV AC fast with EVSE) | 0 – 100% charge | 6.5 hours |
| Mode 4 (DC CHAdeMO) | 0 – 80% charge | 38 minutes |
Safety
All grades of the Outlander recently received a five-star ANCAP safety rating, owing to the high level of safety equipment fitted, such as:
| 10 airbags |
| Forward collision mitigation system with pedestrian and cyclist detection |
| Predictive forward collision mitigation |
| Emergency lane assist |

The PHEV’s battery is covered by a separate eight-year/160,000-kilometre warranty which applies regardless of the extended offer.
In addition to this, 10-year capped price servicing is also included as well as one year of roadside assistance as standard, extending to four years when the service schedule is adhered to.
