Mitsubishi launches updated Outlander PHEV in Canada

Mitsubishi Motors has announced that it will begin sales of the significantly updated Outlander PHEV in Canada from March 2026.

Compared to its predecessor, the Outlander PHEV - Mitsubishi Motors' flagship model - features a higher batter capacity (22.7kWh) that extends its EV driving range to 72km. Selected refinements to the interior and exterior designs enhance overall quality, and the premium audio system jointly developed with Yamaha Corporation is now standard across all trims. In addition, optimised suspension and newly adopted tyres further improve ride comfort and stability.

The Outlander PHEV is described as bringing together the best of the brand's electrification and all-wheel control technologies

With high customer interest in electrified vehicles and strong demand for 4WDs that enable safe driving in severe winter conditions in Canada, the Outlander PHEV has earned high acclaim for its exemplary driving performance, which is underpinned by its twin-motor 4WD and Super-All Wheel Control. Mitsubishi Motors also stated that because of this, the model has been Canada’s best-selling PHEV in its category for three consecutive years.

The Outlander PHEV was launched in Japan in 2013 as the world's first plug-in hybrid SUV and has since been sold in more than 60 countries. Going forward, Mitsubishi Motors plans to introduce the updated model sequentially to other markets including the U.S.A, Mexico, Australia, New Zealand, and Chile within the 2026 fiscal year.
