More environmentally-conscious drivers are opting for plug-in hybrids (PHEV) – and those vehicles are rapidly evolving to combine both energy-efficiency with much better performance and exciting features. Mitsubishi’s 2018 Outlander PHEV is one of the most talked-about new crossover models. You can see it up close at Peruzzi Mitsubishi, but here’s how it stacks up against KIA’s newly-released Niro Hybrid.
For starters, the 2018 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV is over a foot longer than the Niro. The Outlander’s design fits the lithium-ion battery pack neatly behind the rear seat. Both of these smart elements mean more interior and cargo space that allow for comfortably bringing friends, family and all kinds of gear along for the ride.
Also, the Outlander’s interior ups the plug-in game by featuring heated seats, an 8.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system, and safety features like adaptive cruise control and automatic emergency braking. No more bare-bones or boring PHEV crossovers!
Mitsubishi has given the 2018 Outlander PHEV a Super-All-Wheel Control drivetrain that delivers more power than the Niro’s basic Front-Wheel design. This offers far better handling and more control on any kind of terrain, from city streets to bumpy backwoods roads.
The all-wheel-drive platform – plus a larger engine than the Niro – gives the Outlander impressive towing power (up to 1,500 pounds), which makes it a standout in the PHEV crossover category.
