We video review the 2023 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV VRX

Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV VRX – a winning formula

It’s been said the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV VRX is the best vehicle the Triple Diamond brand has ever produced, bringing together excellence in design, technology, style and versatility in the 5 and seven seat SUV launched at the beginning of 2022.

This Next Generation Outlander PHEV saw an upgraded battery capacity, extending the purely electric driving range up to 84km, which is double what the average driver would use in a day. Equally worthy of note are the distinctive design cues and level of sophistication afforded to the Outlander PHEV VRX. From the quilted leather interior to the beautifully presented graphic representations on both the driver’s supervisory screen and the 9-inch SDA (Smartphone Display Audio screen) allowing full connectivity – Android Auto, Apple CarPlay and Bluetooth with voice interaction – and the choice of premium grade materials throughout, the Outlander’s cabin is all about class, perfectly in keeping with the PHEV SUV’s on-road drive experience.

This is matched with an incredibly comprehensive range of standard safety features which put the Outlander PHEV VRX well in front of rival brands, not only in terms of the features available, but the way they engage, particularly when it comes to what are often abrupt intervention systems like lane departure assist and forward collision mitigation systems. These have also been ‘tuned’ to intervene in a way befitting the sophisticated nature of the Next Generation Outlander PHEV VRX.

What should not and cannot be ignored, is the extraordinary abilities this fleet-friendly family focused vehicle can and will deliver both on and off road. The Outlander PHEV VRX will go places you just don't expect it to go, thanks to the intelligence of Mitsubishi's Rally-derived Super All Wheel Control AWD system combined with a comprehensive multi-mode drive selector.

The Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV VRX for 2023; an awesomely versatile vehicle built with the Kiwi motoring and adventure lifestyles in mind – which is why it also earned the Company Vehicle Medium SUV of the year 2022 award and the coveted Overall Car of the Year 2022 from the same publication.
