Mitsubishi announced the UK pricing and range
details of the 2019 Outlander PHEV, which is available to customers now. For 2019, Mitsubishi has replaced
the 119 hp 2.0-liter petrol engine with a more powerful and bigger 133 hp 2.4-liter unit. In addition, the rear electric motor is also more
powerful, adding 93 hp into the mix while the battery pack now measures
13.8kWh in capacity. The front electric motor continues to offer 80 hp.
The powertrain revisions result to a combined fuel
economy of 139mpg UK (2l/100km), per the latest WLTP regulations. CO2 emissions
are rated at 46g/km, while the pure electric range is 28 miles (45km) combined.
Mitsubishi has also revised the damper settings for
better low-speed ride and added a new ‘Sport’ mode that sharpens the throttle
response and tightens the electric all-wheel drive system. The steering rack is
also updated while the front brake rotors are now bigger in diameter.
The interior now features new, more comfortable and
supportive front seats, new switchgear and a revised instrument cluster. The
rear passengers get their own ventilation vents while the dashboard features
more conveniently placed USB ports.
On the outside, the revisions include a redesigned
front grille with honeycomb mesh, a new front bumper extension and redesigned
headlamps. The rear also gets a new bumper design, as well as a large roof
spoiler. A set of two-tone 18-inch alloy wheels complete the exterior updates.
Prices for the 2019 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV start
from £ 34,255, including the £ 2,500 government incentive, and can reach up to
£ 39,100 for the range-topping 4hs model trim.
