Vancouver, BC – After multiple delays due to overwhelming and perhaps unexpectedly strong sales in other markets since its debut in 2013, the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV (plug-in hybrid electric vehicle) has finally arrived in Canada for 2018 – and a few class-leading features suggest that it was worth the wait. Canadians will wonder what took

Since we picked up our long-term Outlander in March, we’ve gone from it battling a winter that didn’t want to end, a windy and wet early spring that left many folks hunting for roofers, and occasional balmy temperatures doing a viable early impression of summer. We’ve averaged 9.0 l/100 km in overall fuel efficiency over the past few weeks

Seems appropriate that within the first week of our long-term 2018 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV ’s arrival, we took it for a long-distance run to la belle province , where plug-in vehicle sales are the highest in the country – thanks to a combination of high fuel prices, expansive EV charging station options, and low electricity prices.

Hot on the heels of the all-new Mitsubishi Outlander , the automaker has revealed the revised and re-powered version of the Outlander PHEV, the model that spent many years as one of the best-selling plug-in hybrid SUVs in the world.

Mitsubishi knows that as a small player in the market, its vehicles have to stand out. Stylistically, the 2020 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV may not stand out as the most modern SUV on the market, but it’s still one of the most affordable plug-in hybrid (PHEV) SUVs on the market. Add to that all its best-in-market characteristics – it’s the roomie

The Mitsubishi i-Miev , the most affordable EV in Canada, is being discontinued from our market after the 2017 model year. While there is no immediate replacement coming from the brand, they will have a different plug-in option arriving soon. The five-door hatchback i-Miev was launched in 2009, with Canadian sales starting at the end of 2011. O

Mitsubishi Motors has just announced some big changes to much of the company's lineup of cars and crossovers for 2021. There are no pictures of most of them yet, but there will be new powertrains, all-new models, and safety equipment additions coming between now and next spring.

The warning came fast and clear: this Mitsubishi Outlander plug-in hybrid we were about to sample is a current European model, while the one that’s scheduled for North America in 12 to 18 months will look very different from the one above. Even still, they’re close enough to what’s coming that Mitsubishi Canada went out and actually bought these tw

Many shoppers are still skeptical about the realities of electrified motoring. Even if the range of full electric vehicles (EVs) like the Hyundai Kona Electric surpass 400 km, and even if there are more electric charging stations than ever before, and even if the prices reach more affordable levels; there are still buyers who are worried about

EcoRun is an annual event put on by the Automobile Journalists Association of Canada (AJAC) to showcase a variety of fuel-efficient vehicles, to inform consumers of these alternative options, and to provide accurate road-testing of their fuel economy by driving them in real-world road conditions.

Canadian shoppers love AWD so much that it’s recently become available on cars that never offered it before – including the Mazda3, Dodge Challenger, and Toyota Camry. The latest Nissan Altima too includes never-before-seen AWD – standard on every trim grade. It’s an approach luxury automakers in this country have taken for years. With most shop

Mitsubishi's long-anticipated Outlander plug-in hybrid is finally arriving. After several delays, the SUV that is the best-selling plug-in in Europe will be arriving at dealers in Canada starting this January.
