Mitsubishi Outlander Plug-in Hybrid Wins Third Consecutive Green Car Of The Year Award

Mitsubishi is proud to announce that the Mitsubishi Outlander Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV) has been named Green Car Journal’s 2025 Family Green Car of the Year, marking its third consecutive win of this prestigious award! The Outlander Plug-in Hybrid is the first vehicle in Green Car Awards history to achieve a three-peat, further adding to its growing list of accolades.

As the world’s first plug-in hybrid electric SUV and still the best-selling all-wheel-drive PHEV globally, the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV offers an unmatched combination of electrification, performance, and versatility. With a 38-mile all-electric range and a total hybrid driving range of up to 420 miles, the Outlander PHEV remains a top choice for families who prioritize sustainability without compromising convenience.

“The Outlander Plug-in Hybrid is an ideal choice for families looking for a versatile vehicle that promotes electrification and reduces carbon emissions, all while maintaining its capabilities and range,” said Ron Cogan, editor and publisher of Green Car Journal. “Its 38-mile battery electric range covers the daily needs of many families, while the hybrid’s 420-mile total range is perfect for longer journeys.”

Green Car Journal’s Family Green Car of the Year Award recognizes vehicles that excel in environmental performance while offering style, versatility, and practical features. The Outlander Plug-in Hybrid’s winning formula combines advanced hybrid technology, Mitsubishi’s Super All-Wheel Control (S-AWC) system, and the convenience of a spacious family vehicle designed for all weather conditions.

“We are thrilled to accept this award for the third consecutive year,” said Mark Chaffin, MMNA President and CEO. “The Outlander Plug-in Hybrid showcases Mitsubishi’s commitment to delivering practical, sustainable driving solutions without compromising on performance or range. It’s the perfect bridge for families not quite ready to transition to full battery electric vehicles. As part of our Momentum 2030 plan, we are committed to advancing eco-friendly technologies and reducing our environmental impact.”

In addition to the Family Green Car Award, the Outlander Plug-in Hybrid has also received multiple other prestigious honors, including the 2024 MotorWeek Drivers’ Choice Award for Best Small Utility, Puros Autos’ Latin Flavor SUV of the Year, and a Top Safety Pick designation from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).
