Mitsubishi Outlander vs Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV

Choosing Between the 2025 Mitsubishi Outlander and Outlander PHEV for Your Daytona Drives

If you're shopping for a stylish, capable SUV with flexible seating and advanced features, the 2025 Mitsubishi Outlander and 2025 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV are two excellent options at Daytona Mitsubishi. While they share a name and many design elements, you'll have the choice between electrified versatility or combustion-engine affordability as you choose between these two stylish SUVs at Daytona Mitsubishi.

Both the Outlander and 2025 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV share the same overall dimensions, offering midsize SUV versatility in a sleek, modern package. The gas-powered Outlander comes standard with three rows of seating for up to seven passengers, while the Plug-in Hybrid Outlander seats five. For families or those needing the extra seating capacity, the standard Outlander holds the advantage.

In terms of cargo, the Outlander provides up to 79.7 cubic feet of space with the second and third rows folded down. The Outlander PHEV still offers nearly 65 cubic feet of cargo space, but you do lose a bit due to the hybrid components beneath the floor. Either way, both models offer plenty of room for gear, groceries, or luggage.

The 2025 Outlander is powered by a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine delivering 181 horsepower, paired with a continuously variable transmission for smooth, efficient performance. It provides solid everyday performance, whether you're commuting through Daytona or heading out on I-95.

On the other hand, the Outlander PHEV features a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine combined with dual electric motors for a total system output of 248 horsepower and standard all-wheel drive. This setup delivers quicker acceleration and better traction, especially in wet conditions or off-road settings.

The standard Outlander achieves up to an EPA-estimated 27 mpg combined, which is good for its class. The Outlander PHEV, however, offers the ability to drive on pure electric power for short trips. It delivers up to 38 miles of all-electric range and over 400 miles of total range when combining electric and gas power.

For drivers looking to reduce fuel costs or take advantage of electric-only driving for daily errands, the PHEV provides a clear advantage. You can plug it in at home or at a public charging station and enjoy emission-free driving around town while still having the gasoline engine available for longer trips.

FAQ: What's the Difference Between a Mitsubishi Outlander and Outlander PHEV?

The biggest difference between the Mitsubishi Outlander and Outlander PHEV lies in how they're powered. The Outlander runs solely on gasoline and offers seating for seven, while the Outlander PHEV is a plug-in hybrid that combines a gas engine with electric motors, seats five, and can drive up to 38 miles on electricity alone. The PHEV also delivers more horsepower and comes standard with all-wheel drive.

If you're looking for more space, a lower starting price, and traditional performance, the gas-powered Outlander is a great fit. If you want better fuel efficiency, instant electric torque, and the flexibility of both gas and electric driving, the Outlander PHEV might be your perfect match.
