Will there be a 2023 Outlander Sport?
|
A new plug-in hybrid arrives, and special-edition models spice up the brand’s offerings. Show
Mitsubishi emerged from the mire with the vastly improved Outlander and is quickly following up with a plug-in hybrid version of that three-row SUV. Also, longtime fans
of the brand will also be excited to see the return of the Ralliart performance division in the form of special-edition packages but should be cautioned that they aren't much more than appearance packages. In any case, we're happy to see Mitsubishi add more character to its range of affordable cars and SUVs. Read on to
see how each model within the Mitsubishi lineup is affected by the latest changes for 2023. Mitsubishi makes a CVT standard for the 2023 Mirage hatchback and Mirage G4
sedan, which means the base price will rise with the manual transmission gone. A Ralliart special edition will also be equipped with sporty bodywork, graphics, and other accents Mitsubishi says are inspired by the brand's rally heritage. A two-tone White Diamond body and black roof scheme will be the only paint choice available. 2023 Mitsubishi Mirage Pros and ConsPros

The automaker also offers the Black Edition on either the SE or SEL trims. A few other minor changes affect the rest of the 2023 Outlander lineup.

2023 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV: What’s NewFully redesigned for 2023, the Outlander PHEV wears similar styling to its gasoline-only sibling. This plug-in hybrid is equipped with a front and rear electric dual-motor setup paired with a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine. It comes equipped with a 20-kWh battery, a significant improvement from the previous version's 13.8-kWh pack. Electric range (before the gas engine kicks in) comes to 38 miles, an impressive total though not a match for the Toyota RAV4 Prime. Like the gasoline-only version of the Outlander, the PHEV model will come in a three-row layout. 2023 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV Pros and ConsPros
