After showing several PX-MiEV concepts over the years, Mitsubishi finally revealed the production Outlander PHEV at the 2012 Paris Motor Show this week. The Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV is powered by a 2.0-liter I-4 paired with two electric motors powered by a 12-kWh lithium-ion battery pack.
The permanent magnet synchronous motors are mated to each axle. Both electric motors make 80 hp, but the rear motor develops 43 lb-ft of torque more than the front motor for a total of 144 lb-ft. Mitsubishi’s Super All-Wheel Control (S-AWC) works with a Twin Motor 4WD system to route power to the four wheels depending on traction needs.
In EV Drive Mode the battery pack provides enough juice for the Outlander PHEV to travel up to 34 miles. Total vehicle range is estimated to be about 547 miles. Other modes include combined gasoline and electric power as well as using the combustion engine as a generator to power the electric motors.
A full charge with a 200-volt AC charger requires about 4.5 hours, according to Mitsubishi. A CHAdeMO-spec DC quick-charger can charge the Outlander PHEV to 80 percent in roughly 30 minutes. Drivers can also select Battery Charge Mode to switch the gas engine to a generator on demand.
