Mitsubishi Outlander Plug-in Hybrid Trims

The 2024 Outlander plug-in hybrid comes in six trim levels, each with an array of impressive features. Here’s some more information about each trim level:

ES

The ES trim is the most basic trim level for the 2024 Outlander plug-in hybrid, though it’s far from basic. This trim comes with a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and technological features, including an 8-inch smartphone-link display audio touch screen with an entertainment system. You’ll also get a two-year trial of Mitsubishi Connect with Safeguard and Remote Services to keep you extra safe on the roads in Delray Beach.

In terms of safety features, the ES trim includes driver assist systems, such as active blind-spot assist, lane-change assist, and rear cross-traffic alerts. Forward collision mitigation and a predictive warning system can help you avoid an accident.

SE

The next trim level, the SE, has larger 20-inch wheels and an array of interior upgrades, including artificial leather seats and a leather-wrapped shift knob and steering wheel. Other upgrades include heated side mirrors that fold electrically and a remote power liftgate you can open hands-free. You’ll also find the same technology in the SE as the ES trim, with additional wireless chargers and a 9-inch touch-screen infotainment display.

There are also more safety features, including front parking sensors, MI-PILOT with adaptive cruise control, and lane-keep assist.

SE Technology

With the SE Technology trim, you’ll get the same benefits as the SE but with a few extras. For example, the SE Technology adds a panoramic sunroof even without optional upgrades. It also has a Bose audio system and an auto-dimming rear-view mirror.

SEL

Most of the upgrades for the SEL relate to technology and passenger comfort, including the key-linked driver memory seat, which will remember your favorite positioning and default to it every time you enter the car. There are also passenger eight-way memory seats, so your most frequent passengers can ride in the same comfort every time. In terms of technology, you’ll find 1,500-watt power outlets, three-zone automatic climate control, and mirrors with a reverse auto-tilt function.

SEL Touring

The SEL Touring offers all the same safety and performance features as the lower trims but adds an array of upgrades to the interior that make for a luxurious ride. For example, there’s a heated steering wheel and pull-up rear window shades, so you’ll be comfortable no matter the weather.

SEL Premium

As the highest trim level, the SEL Premium has many of the upgrades of the SEL Touring and the same excellent safety and performance features as the other trims. But this trim offers luxury and sophistication, with interior updates such as a massage function in the first seating row and semi-aniline leather seat covers for added comfort. This trim also has a black sunroof, so you can enjoy the sun and breeze or keep your vehicle’s interior closed and cool.

Exterior and Interior Design

The 2024 Mitsubishi Outlander plug-in hybrid’s exterior has the same great look as classic Mitsubishi models, including a Mitsubishi Dynamic Shield front face. It also has some updated design, such as a two-tone exterior with a badge reading “Plug-In Hybrid EV” on the front fenders. You’ll also notice 20-inch alloy wheels, which make for a sleek appearance and smooth drive. If you want a unique paint color, you can opt for the Platinum Edition, which creates a new color by mixing Black Diamond and Alloy Silver.

On the interior, you’ll find the same luxury and comfort that classic Mitsubishi models offer, including an optimized instrument cluster to easily check your vehicle’s hybrid system status and motor outputs. There are three rows of seats, so you can strap in for a trip with the whole family. In terms of interior technology, the Outlander plug-in hybrid has you covered with Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, wireless charging, and more. If you opt for the supplemental Tech package, you can upgrade to a Bose audio system, a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster, and a panoramic sunroof.

Performance Highlights

The 2024 Outlander plug-in hybrid comes with a 2.5-liter inline four-cylinder engine that’s powerful for a hybrid vehicle. It achieves 248 hp and 181 lb-ft of torque and uses a continuously variable automatic transmission. This SUV has two electric motors in addition to the engine. Experts also note that the vehicle accelerates at impressive speeds, reaching 60 mph in 6.6 seconds. You’ll have 2,000 pounds of towing capacity if you need to tow something.

Another thrilling aspect of the 2024 Outlander plug-in hybrid’s performance is its battery life, which can carry you for 38 miles on electric-only driving using a 20 kWh battery pack. Some trims also offer a DC fast-charging system, so you can recharge quickly and get back on the road. Using the combined power of the gas-powered engine and the electric motors, you can expect around 64 mpg, making for excellent fuel economy. When using only gas, the SUV gets around 25 mpg in the city and 27 mpg on the highway.
