2025 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV vs. 2025 Hyundai Tucson Plug-in Hybrid in Burnaby, BC

2025 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV vs 2025 Hyundai Tucson

With gas prices where they are, driving on electricity for your daily commute just makes sense. Two of the most popular options right now are the 2025 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV and the 2025 Hyundai Tucson Plug-in Hybrid. The Outlander offers 61 kilometres of electric range, seven-passenger seating, standard DC fast charging, and a 10-year/160,000-kilometre battery and powertrain warranty. The Tucson PHEV counters with 268 combined horsepower, 51 kilometres of electric range, and a 3.1 Le/100 kilometres electric-only efficiency rating. Our team at Metrotown Mitsubishi helps break down all the specifics.

Range & Efficiency

The Outlander PHEV has the longer electric range of the two: 61 kilometres versus the Tucson's 51 kilometres. For most commutes, that's enough to go gas-free all week on regular overnight charges. The Outlander also supports DC Quick Charging as standard, something the Tucson PHEV doesn't offer at all.

Performance & AWD

Both come with AWD as standard, but they take different approaches to it. The Outlander's twin-motor Super All-Wheel Control (S-AWC) system drives each axle independently. The Tucson's HTRAC AWD is genuinely capable year-round, and its 268 combined horsepower gives it a slight power edge. What it doesn't have is the Outlander's terrain-specific tuning.

Interior & Space

This is where the two vehicles diverge most clearly. The Outlander seats seven while the Tucson seats five. If you're regularly hauling kids, car seats, and gear, that third row changes everything. The cargo difference is just as significant.

2025 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV vs. 2025 Hyundai Tucson Plug-in Hybrid Verdict

The Tucson Plug-in Hybrid is a smart, well-equipped compact SUV. If five seats are all you need and you want a slightly more powerful daily driver, it's worth a look. But if your family has outgrown the compact segment, or will soon, the 2025 Outlander PHEV gives you more of everything that matters: more electric range, more seats, more cargo space, faster charging, better AWD versatility, and warranty coverage that's hard to beat.
