Mitsubishi Previews Overhauled 2022 Outlander PHEV

Earlier this year, Mitsubishi presented the overhauled new 2022 edition of its Outlander SUV. The popular PHEV version was not part of that presentation, however, with Mitsubishi promising a rollout of the plug-in SUV later in the year.

That rollout is getting closer on the horizon, as evidenced by some fresh details and a couple of teaser images provided by Mitsubishi. Here, in a nutshell, is what we learn today about the 2022 Outlander PHEV (the model, if you didn’t know, remains Canada’s top-selling plug-in hybrid SUV, as per 2020 sales figures according to Mitsubishi):

- The vehicle will roll out in Japan in late 2021 or early 2022, and in North America in the second half of 2022.

- The updated crossover SUV is built on the foundation of a new-generation PHEV system.

- Both output and battery capacity have been increased with the new system, with range also greater than before.
