MITSUBISHI Motors Philippines Corporation (MMPC) has officially brought in the All-New Outlander PHEV SUV, the brand’s first plug-in hybrid electric vehicle for the local market. Already Japan’s best-selling PHEV SUV, it now stands as MMPC’s flagship model-melding Mitsubishi’s proven SUV engineering with advanced electrification. Anchored by the brand’s Super All-Wheel Control (S-AWC) system, the Outlander PHEV embodies ‘The Power of Both Worlds.’
Electrification without boundaries
THE arrival of the All-New Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV marks a decisive step into a new era of electrified mobility. At its core is a 2.4-liter gasoline engine with MIVEC, seamlessly paired with front and rear electric motors. This tri-power setup lets the vehicle shift intelligently between electric and gasoline propulsion, balancing performance and efficiency. The system produces a combined output of 302 hp and 450 N-m of torque, ensuring responsive acceleration and smooth delivery across varied driving conditions. With this configuration, the Outlander PHEV achieves a driving range approaching 1,000 kilometers, including 100 kilometers of pure electric travel.
Range anxiety, often the concern with electrified vehicles, is effectively addressed. The gasoline engine engages seamlessly whenever additional power or extended distance is required, ensuring uninterrupted mobility. Drivers are given full control through four selectable EV drive modes-Normal, Save, Charge, and EV Priority-each designed to adapt to specific needs, whether conserving battery, replenishing charge, or prioritizing electric propulsion.
Compatibility with the AC Type 2 charging protocol further integrates the Outlander PHEV into the Philippines’ growing EV infrastructure. Charging stations across the country can accommodate the model, but even in areas where facilities remain limited, the vehicle continues to operate efficiently as a hybrid. This dual capability ensures electrification is not an all-or-nothing proposition; instead, it lets drivers embrace the transition at their own pace.
Confidence in every terrain
AT the core lies Mitsubishi’s celebrated Super All-Wheel Control (S-AWC), a fully integrated system that harmonizes several advanced technologies. Twin-Motor 4WD, Active Yaw Control (AYC), Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), Active Stability Control (ASC), and Traction Control System (TCS) all work in concert, continuously optimizing traction, stability, and handling. This coordination gives drivers greater confidence and control across a wide range of road and weather conditions, whether navigating city streets, winding mountain passes, or unpredictable rural terrain.
Complementing S-AWC is a suite of seven selectable drive modes, designed to adapt to both driver preference and road environment. Normal, Eco, and Power modes tailor everyday driving for efficiency or responsiveness, while Tarmac, Gravel, Snow, and Mud modes fine-tune power delivery and traction control for specific surfaces.
What sets the Outlander PHEV apart is the seamless integration of electrification with these intelligent vehicle dynamics. The combination preserves Mitsubishi’s hallmark driving enjoyment while elevating safety, capability, and confidence. This synergy-between unbound electrification and true 4WD mastery-defines ‘The Power of Both Worlds.’
Further reinforcing its credentials, the Outlander PHEV is equipped with the Mitsubishi Motors Safety Sensing (MMSS) suite. Features such as Forward Collision Mitigation, Blind Spot Warning, Lane Change Assist, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Lane Departure Warning, Automatic High Beam, and Driver Attention Alert provide comprehensive protection.
Design that commands presence
THE All-New Outlander PHEV carries forward Mitsubishi’s SUV heritage while presenting a distinctly modern and sophisticated character. Its wide proportions and muscular stance immediately project authority, while sculpted body surfaces add refinement and balance. At the front, the signature Dynamic Shield fascia reinforces the brand’s unmistakable identity, framed by sleek full-LED lighting fixtures that sharpen its visual impact. Bold 20-inch machine-finished alloy wheels in a black two-tone design complete the athletic yet elegant profile, underscoring both strength and style.
Beyond aesthetics, every exterior detail has been engineered with purpose. Steel on key body components improves noise and vibration characteristics, reducing unwanted wind and road noise. This refinement elevates craftsmanship and contributes to a quieter, more premium driving experience. Together, these elements create a vehicle that embodies Mitsubishi’s evolving design language while remaining true to its roots.
Comfort meets technology
INSIDE conveys refinement, carefully balancing luxury, comfort, and advanced technology. Premium light gray leather-trimmed seats, complemented by soft-touch surfaces, establish a sophisticated atmosphere that underscores the model’s flagship status. The spacious interior is further enhanced by a panoramic sunroof, flooding the cabin with natural light and creating an open, lounge-like ambiance that elevates every journey.
Technology is also seamlessly integrated. At the center is a 12.3-inch Smartphone-Link Display Audio system that supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. This interface connects effortlessly with daily routines, while the immersive eight-speaker Yamaha Premium audio system delivers clarity and depth. Practical innovations such as the Smart Rear View Mirror provide an unobstructed perspective behind the vehicle, while the Heads-up Display projects vital information directly onto the windshield.
The triple-zone automatic climate control system lets each occupant set their own comfort, while the eight-way Power Adjustable Seats for the driver and front passenger include lumbar support, memory functions, heating, and ventilation.
Pricing and Availability
THE All-New Outlander PHEV is priced at P2.848 million, with a special introductory offer of P2.749 million for reservations and releases from August 20 to September 30, 2026. Available colors include White Diamond, Black Diamond, and Red Diamond.
MMPC positions the Outlander PHEV as its new flagship SUV, available nationwide beginning August 20, 2026-an electrified statement of capability and refinement, true to Mitsubishi’s promise of The Power of Both Worlds.
