FRANKLIN, Tenn., Feb. 23, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Mitsubishi
Motors North America, Inc. (MMNA) today announced pricing and
availability of the 2021 Mitsubishi Outlander Plug-in Hybrid
Electric Vehicle (PHEV) crossover. Outlander PHEV is substantially
upgraded for 2021, and features a significantly revised powertrain,
an enlarged battery pack offering extended all-electric range, and
increased performance from a new, more efficient, 2.4 liter
inline-four cylinder engine and a higher-output rear electric
motor.
The 2021 Outlander PHEV is available at Mitsubishi dealers now.
Starting MSRP remains the same as the 2020 model, just $36,295 before available state and federal tax
incentives.1,2
All-New Powertrain for Increased Efficiency
Fresh off an electrifying podium finish at the 2020 Rebelle
Rally, the longest off-road all-female navigational rally in the
Lower 48 states, the Outlander PHEV enters 2021 with an extensively
upgraded powertrain. The vehicle is equipped with a more powerful
and efficient 2.4L internal combustion engine rated at 126 hp and
148 lb.-ft. of torque, and the previous 60kW rear-axle-mounted
electric motor has been replaced with a more powerful 70kW unit.
Combined, total system output is increased to 221 hp, up 31 hp from
the previous model.
The Outlander PHEV's main drive battery capacity also grows from
12.0 kW/h to 13.8 kW/h, resulting in an increase of all-electric
range from 22 to 24 miles. Additionally, this also allows
increasing the top speed of all-electric operation from 79 mph to
83 mph.3,4
Finally, the 2021 Outlander PHEV's powertrain receives updated
software for improved synchronization between battery and engine,
and improvements that reduce overall noise, vibration and harshness
(NVH).
Also new for 2021 are Sport and Snow driving modes, which offer
enhanced driver confidence and control in all driving situations.
Every 2021 Outlander PHEV is equipped with Mitsubishi's unique
Super All-Wheel Control (S-AWC) all-wheel drive
system.4
With these updates that prioritize enhanced efficiency, economy
and performance, the 2021 Outlander PHEV achieves a combined 74
MPGe and 26 MPG.3
Increased Availability of Incentives
Thanks to its
new, larger-capacity battery pack, Outlander PHEV is eligible for
additional federal tax incentives for 2021.2 Outlander
PHEV is now eligible for $6,587 in
federal tax credits, an increase of $751 compared to the 2020 model

Additionally, the 2021 Outlander PHEV may be eligible for
additional increased state and local clean-vehicle
