The Outlander perfectly illustrates Mitsubishi's plan to focus on SUVs and electrified powertrains in the future. The PHEV (plug-in hybrid) variant keeps making headlines with its EV driving range estimated at 35 km and reduced fuel consumption. Meanwhile, the conventional Outlander remains a spacious and capable compact SUV, with seating for up to seven and maximum towing of 3500 pounds (1588 kilograms) thanks to the available V6 engine.
