Anyone who needs to purchase a vehicle in the run-up to winter is bound to ask themselves one question: will the model I'm looking at keep me safe on the roads when conditions worsen?
While most vehicles on the market are available with all-wheel drive, very few offer a system as effective as the one developed by Mitsubishi. What's more, with a model like the Outlander PHEV, you also benefit from optimum fuel efficiency.
That's why this product is a must-have choice for consumers looking for a vehicle that will satisfy them during the cold season. What's more, in addition to its advanced engineering and cutting-edge technologies, this model stands out for its reliability and long electric range.
Range
In winter, plug-in hybrid vehicles naturally experience a slight reduction in their electric range, due to the increased demand for heating and the low temperatures that affect batteries. However, the Outlander PHEV stands out for its intelligent thermal battery management. In all-electric mode, it offers a range of 61 kilometers in optimal conditions, but remains competitive even at lower temperatures, thanks to its battery preheating system and cabin heating function using less energy.
What's more, its gasoline engine ensures a smooth transition when additional energy is required for overtaking, for example, guaranteeing extended all-electric journeys.
All-wheel drive for enhanced winter performance
One of the Outlander PHEV's greatest assets in winter is its S-AWC (Super All-Wheel Control) system, a technology exclusive to Mitsubishi. Unlike the all-wheel drive system on the regular version, the PHEV model's system relies on two electric motors (one at the front and one at the rear), offering faster, more precise response. This configuration provides better torque distribution on each axle, increasing grip on ice, snow or wet roads. Transitions are also quicker, and torque distribution possibilities are also greater, thanks to the electric management of the thing.
What's more, with the “SNOW” mode, performance in winter conditions is automatically optimized, enhancing stability and adding to the feeling of safety behind the wheel. Proactive brake and engine control ensures exceptional handling, even in unpredictable conditions.
Why choose the Outlander PHEV this winter?
With its competitive electric range, efficient hybrid engine and superior all-wheel drive, the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV is the perfect candidate to get you safely to your destination this winter, at a fraction of the price. Add to this the fact that this model boasts a spacious interior and full standard amenities, such as heated seats, and you end up with a versatile SUV that offers great comfort, an unrivalled level of safety, and appreciable frugality.
