Check out this Performance Mitsubishi guide to the two best three-row Mitsubishi SUVs.

2023 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV

One of the most popular PHEV SUVs in the world in 2023, the Outlander PHEV offers the effectiveness of an electric vehicle with all the range of a combustion engine. The premium cabin is both elegant and comfortable in any of its four trim levels: the ES, SE, SEL, and 40th Anniversary Edition. Of course, it has three rows of roomy seating for up to seven passengers, so everyone can spread out and enjoy the ride.  Some other key features of the 2023 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV are below:

Interior Dimensions

The Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV is categorized as a midsize utility vehicle, but you might not know it when climbing inside. The Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV’s interior dimensions are as follows:

• Headroom: Front/second/third row — 40.6/ 39.1/34.5 inches.

Seating and Comfort

With eight different power seating choices and a memory seat function key, the 2023 Outlander PHEV allows you to customize the cabin in much more nuanced ways than those of competing SUVs. The driver and passengers have independent control over the temperature and ventilation settings thanks to the available tri-zone climate control.

In addition, the available massage function in both front seats ensures you reach your location relaxed and ready to move. This feature is ideal for long-distance drives or after a long day of skiing or hiking, too. Even when you’re seated all the way in the rear, you get to enjoy a refined atmosphere of comfort with plush materials and appealing textures.

Space and Cargo

The 2023 Outlander PHEV has 64.7 cubic feet of cargo room behind the front seats, 30.8 cubic feet behind the second row of seats, and 11.7 cubic feet in just the cargo zone. The SUV features wide doors, and the reconfigurable seating means you can arrange your cargo however you like, making spontaneous road trips much easier.

Towing and Efficiency

The 2023 Outlander PHEV can pull up to 1,500 lbs of cargo when fitted with the available factory-installed towing kit. The 2023 Outlander PHEV can pull most pop-up campers as well as ATVs, jet skis, and snowmobiles, thanks to the available factory-installed tow hitch and factory-engineered trailer tow wire harness. As for efficiency, one of the PHEV’s biggest selling points, you can get up to 64 mpg equivalent on combined electric and gasoline power, as well as 26 mpg on gas alone.

Technology

The infotainment system in this Mitsubishi is simple to use, has distinct graphics, and responds quickly. In addition, it has physical buttons and knobs for the music and climate, so you don’t have to only use the touch screen. Standard infotainment features include a six-speaker stereo, satellite radio, four USB outlets, Bluetooth, an 8-inch touch screen, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto.

2023 Mitsubishi Outlander

The 2023 Mitsubishi Outlander stands out from other wagons in its class thanks to its superior luxury and high-quality interior. You don’t have to get a plug-in-hybrid version to enjoy nearly all the same benefits. A remarkable 11 trim levels are available for the 2023 Mitsubishi Outlander: the ES, SE Special Edition, SE, SE Tech, Black Edition, SEL, SEL Touring Package, SEL Premium Package, SEL Black Edition, Ralliart, and 40th Anniversary Edition.

The 2023 Outlander not only comfortably fits your family but also prevents “Are we there yet?” questions with upper-trim comforts, such as the available triple-zone climate control. The interior dimensions are almost the same as the Outlander PHEV, with some small differences, such as 125.5 rather than 122.9 cubic feet of cargo volume. Check out some more details below:

Seating and Comfort

The 2023 Outlander’s memory seat function is key linked to each driver, and eight distinct power seating adjustment options allow you to customize the mirrors, digital cluster settings, and leather or semi-aniline leather cushions however you like.

In addition, everyone’s journey is smooth and relaxing due to the noise and vibration reduction the 2023 Outlander’s double-pane front windows and windscreen provide. Further developments in counting acoustic noise or road vibrations help you fully appreciate music or conversations.

Technology

A straightforward menu layout and dedicated buttons for switching between tasks make Mitsubishi’s infotainment system easy to learn. Standard features include an 8-inch touch screen, wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a six-speaker stereo, Bluetooth, two USB outlets, and speech recognition.

Towing and Efficiency

The Class II towing kit for the 2023 Outlander consists of a trailer hitch, wiring harness, ball mount with a 2-inch ball, and a 2-inch receiver cover. Additional wiring or adapters may be needed, depending on the tools being used. When properly equipped with the towing kit, the vehicle can tow up to 2,000 pounds, and the trailer stability assist feature is perfect for those new to towing. As for fuel efficiency, the SUV can reach 24 mpg in the city and 31 mpg on the highway.

Cargo and Space

The 2023 Outlander has ample cargo capacity and easy loading and unloading thanks to expanded doors. The cargo capacity for the 2023 Mitsubishi Outlander is 11.7 cubic feet, expanding to 33.5 with the third row down and 79.7 cubic feet with the second and third rows down.
