It may be the end of the year, but it isn’t the end of the awards for the Mitsubishi Outlander Plug-in Hybrid. Last month, Mitsubishi Motors’ flagship seven-passenger model was named the “2024 Family Green Car of the Year” in Green Car Journal’s 2024 Green Car Awards. This marks the second consecutive year that the Mitsubishi Outlander Plug-in Hybrid has secured the Family Green Car title, and it stands as the fourth time in the past six years that the model has been recognized by the publication in its annual awards program.
Now in its 19th year, the Green Car Awards™ recognize new or nearly new models that champion greater efficiency and environmental achievement while delivering the features most desired by new car buyers. Open to efficient internal combustion engine models, hybrids, plug-in hybrids, and fully electric vehicles, the 2024 Green Car Awards prominently featured plug-in hybrid technology.
Ron Cogan, editor and publisher of Green Car Journal and GreenCarJournal.com, noted, “This year marks the first time in the history of the Green Car Awards that plug-in hybrids swept all three of our categories, and it’s no surprise that Outlander, the world’s best-selling plug-in hybrid and a four-time winner in the Green Car Awards, once again ranked among the best. The Outlander Plug-in Hybrid has been a perennial favorite of our editors because it offers so much confidence and convenience in such a clever, capable, and flexible package.”
The Outlander Plug-in Hybrid combines the superior efficiency of an electric vehicle, the utility of a crossover, and smooth handling provided by Mitsubishi’s standard-equipment Super All-Wheel Control (S-AWC) all-wheel drive system2. It boasts a 38-mile all-electric driving range coupled with a gasoline motor to achieve an EPA-estimated 420 miles of total driving range3. The S-AWC system was specifically adapted for the Outlander Plug-in Hybrid’s unique twin electric motor configuration, ensuring maximum performance and superior traction, especially in challenging weather conditions.
