Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV towing
Taking towing to the next level
The Mitsubishi Outlander is the world's first Plug-in Hybrid EV SUV. Motors on both front and rear axles and an efficiently powerful petrol engine work in harmony to optimise towing performance.
A 1500kg braked towing limit
Towing strength when you need it
The Outlander PHEV has a 1500kg braked towing limit and a 750 unbraked limit. That’s the weight of a medium caravan, for example, a 17 foot Swift that weighs 1468 kg.
Solid towing
Pulling strength of the petrol engine
Ther Outlander PHEV has a 2.0-litre petrol engine which develops 119bhp and 140lb ft of torque. Or to put it in a slightly less technical way, it has a lot of towing power.
Quieter towing
Pulling strength of the electric motors
The Outlander PHEV 4WD system
Safer towing through an advanced 4WD system
The Outlander PHEV has an advanced 4WD system on board called S-AWC (Super All Wheel Control). Having all four wheels being driven whilst towing provides superior stability and safety, especially if road conditions deteriorate during the journey.
Regenerative Braking
Creating towing power even when you’re braking
Kinetic energy is generated naturally as the vehicle brakes. To help you keep your battery charge topped up, the Outlander PHEV makes use of this energy. In other words, the electric motor is using the vehicle's momentum to recover energy that would be otherwise lost to the brake discs as heat.
Paddle selectors
Control the amount of energy you regenerate
Multi Around Monitor
Cameras to help you locate the towball
Trailer Stability Assist (TSA)
An onboard system for increased towing safety
TSA increases stability when towing. If vehicle swaying is detected, it automatically controls engine power and the braking force at each wheel to stabilise the vehicle and trailer.
