About the Mitsubishi Outlander Mk3
The 2019 update to the third-generation Outlander PHEV introduced a larger 2.4-litre Atkinson-cycle engine, replacing the previous 2.0-litre unit for improved efficiency and refinement. It features a sophisticated twin-motor S-AWC (Super All-Wheel Control) system that provides seamless electric-only driving for short commutes and hybrid flexibility for longer trips. As a pioneer in the mass-market PHEV segment, it became a staple for company car drivers due to its low tax brackets and practical SUV dimensions. While the interior design remained conservative, the mechanical updates significantly improved the transition between electric and petrol power.
