Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV Named “Family Green Car of the Year” by Green Car Journal
The Mitsubishi Outlander Plug-in Hybrid is getting pretty old. Having spent many years overseas before being added to the North American lineup in 2017 for the 2018 model year, we think the Japanese automaker needs to offer a little more variety in terms of going green. Still, consumers across America are still wary about converting to all-electric vehicles, and many take it slow by getting behind the seat of a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV). There are plenty of choices, but consumers can narrow it down by checking out the latest results from the Green Car Journal. For the third consecutive year, the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV won the title of “Family Green Car of the Year” by Green Car Journal.
“What a thrill to accept our third-consecutive Family Green Car of the Year Award…The Outlander Plug-in Hybrid exemplifies Mitsubishi’s commitment to providing practical and sustainable driving solutions without compromise, and this technology is the perfect bridge for those not yet ready to transition to a full battery electric vehicle. As part of our Momentum 2030 plan, we are dedicated to advancing eco-friendly technologies and reducing our environmental impact, while meeting the everyday needs of our customers.” – Mark Chaffin, MMNA President and CEO
It’s not that surprising, but a well-welcomed win for Mitsubishi Motors. As we said, the Outlander Plug-in Hybrid was pretty popular back in the day. Like most plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV can offer consumers a choice of all-electric energy or the power of a gasoline motor. This not only helps to ease the wariness of having to find a place to recharge the electric battery pack, but it also offers consumers the choice of which power source to use on a daily basis. The Mitsubishi Outlander Plug-in Hybrid offers an all-electric range (AER) of 38 miles and a total hybrid driving range of up to 420 miles. Not only this, but Mitsubishi Motors has put its Super All-Wheel Control (S-AWC) system on most new models, offering more capabilities to its PHEV model.
This all makes the Outlander Plug-in Hybrid a perfect choice for the Green Car Journal “Family Green Car of the Year” award. Every year, Green Car Journal reviews and evaluates electrified vehicles available on the market today and rates them based on their environmental performance, style, and versatility. The Outlander Plug-in Hybrid’s winning combination of advanced plug-in hybrid technology, the S-AWC system, spacious cabin, and fuel economy make it a real winner. Consumers who are still wary about buying a battery-electric vehicle (BEV) have a right to be – we’re still waiting on the big BEV charging station boom to change city infrastructure and make charging up as easy as gassing up. Until then, plug-in hybrid vehicles can give consumers peace of mind, where recharging the electric battery is a matter of convenience, not a requirement. Plus, if consumers own their property and can install a level 2 charger in their garage, they can charge up the Outlander PHEV every night, saving a lot more money on gas in the long run – on average, most plug-in hybrid electric vehicles can help consumers save $500 a year on gas expenses.
