Full Description: It's been a while since Mitsubishi had big news so they are making the most out of the 2018 news that there is a new plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (perfectly designated the PHEV). It's the only plug-in-hybrid SUV in its class with all-wheel drive and the only one with fast charging. And it can travel as much as 22 miles on electric power. So it brings together the environmental efficiency of an electric vehicle the functionality of a crossover and versatility of an all-weather vehicle with Mitsubishi's S-AWC or Super All-Wheel-Control.The standard DC Fast Charging capability can charge up to 80 percent capacity in 25 minutes using a commercial station. At home with your 120-volt outlet it will fully charge in eight hours; or half that time with a 240-volt outlet.The new PHEV advances the technology of the Mitsubishi i-MiEV small electric car. It uses two high-output 60 kW electric motors mounted at the front and rear axles to instantly send torque to all four wheels via S-AWC. Its permanent magnet synchronous electric motor that drives the front axle is smaller lighter and more powerful than that in the i-MiEV.The PHEV system in the Outlander was tested and developed at races like the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb in 2014 (prototypes placed first and second) and at the Baja Portalegre 500 off-road rally in 2015. The gasoline engine that supports the motors (or do they support the engine?) is an efficient 2.0-liter.The Outlander is known for bringing efficiency comfort and space if not style and performance for a lower price than the competition. It's close in size to the Honda CR-V Toyota RAV4 and Subaru Forester but it feels roomier inside. It seats seven with a small third row.This generation began in 2014 updated in 2016 with sleeker styling better interior materials more sound deadening suspension changes to improve ride and handling and a better-but-still-not-good-enough transmission. It got Apple Car Play and safety upgrades in 2017. For 2018 the base infotainment system is upgraded with a 7.0-inch touchscreen with Bluetooth connectivity.The base engine is a 166-horsepower 2.4-liter four cylinder mated to a continuously variable automatic transmission that's barely adequate.The Outlander GT features a 224-horsepower 3.0-liter V-6 but it isn't much faster than the four-cylinder. It accelerates from zero to sixty in about 8.0 seconds slower than rivals. However it increases the towing capacity from 1500 to 3500 pounds and has a pleasing exhaust note.HOW OUR $850 DRIVES PROGRAM WORKS:After selecting the vehicle(s) you are interested in and fill out an application our finance team will calculate what the down payment required will be for the financing of your selection(s).
