2026 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV Increased Electric Range

One of the biggest improvements for 2026 is a significant jump in all-electric driving range. The 2026 Outlander PHEV now delivers an estimated 72 km of EV range, which is up from 61 km in the 2025 model, an 18% increase.

Most daily commutes won't require a single drop of fuel, and the total driving range of 690 km means you can venture well beyond the city without range anxiety. The combined fuel efficiency rating of 3.2 Le/100km makes it one of the most efficient three-row SUVs in Canada.

2026 Mitsubishi Outlander’s Larger PHEV Battery

The jump in range is backed by a larger 22.7 kWh lithium-ion battery, up from 20 kWh in the 2025 model. More capacity means more electric driving, faster charging, and better overall efficiency.

DC Quick Charging has also improved significantly, with the 2026 model reaching 80% charge in approximately 29 minutes compared to 38 minutes in the 2025 model. For drivers who rely on public charging infrastructure around Burnaby and Vancouver, that's a meaningful real-world improvement.

2026 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV Twin-Electric Motor System

The 2026 Outlander PHEV also brings upgraded electric motors. The front motor now produces 114 horsepower and 188 pound-feet of torque, while the rear motor delivers 134 horsepower and 144 pound-feet, for a combined system output of 248 horsepower and 332 pound-feet of torque in POWER mode.

This is a notable increase over the 2025 model's 114 horsepower front and 134 horsepower rear configuration, and it translates directly into more responsive acceleration, stronger highway merging confidence, and improved towing capability at up to 680 kilograms.
