The new top-of-the-line “P Executive Package” brings the total to four grades: “P,” “G,” and “M.” Due to global increases in raw material and logistics costs, the Outlander PHEV’s price is revised at the time of minor changes. For example, the G-grade 7-seater model has seen a significant price increase of ¥380,600 compared to the previous model. Furthermore, the top-of-the-line model now features a new P Executive Package, priced at ¥6,685,800, significantly higher than the previous Black Edition model. However, due to improvements in battery capacity and numerous other specification changes, this is not a simple price revision.

About Mitsubishi Outlander
Mitsubishi Motors released the new Outlander crossover SUV in Japan on December 16, 2021. While based on Nissan’s Rogue platform, it was developed with the company’s unique “majesty” concept, featuring a powerful and elegant design. The exterior features the DYNAMIC SHIELD front design, with large 20-inch wheels, muscular fender flares, and wide taillights.
The vehicle measures 185.4 inches (468 cm) long, 73.3 inches (186 cm) wide, and 68.8 inches (174.7 cm) high, making it wider than the previous model. The wheelbase has also been extended from 105.1 inches (266.9 cm) to 106.5 inches (270.5 cm), improving interior space. The adoption of a newly developed platform has significantly improved collision safety and achieved a high level of handling stability. Mitsubishi Motors’ first hot-stamped ultra-high-tensile steel plate has been adopted, resulting in a high-energy absorption structure and a high-strength cabin structure while reducing weight. This has resulted in a significant improvement in torsional rigidity compared to the previous model.
