Market or version specificIs the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV worth considering?
Our view. ADAC measured about 70 km of electric driving on country roads against an 83 km WLTP figure, which covers most daily trips. Once the battery is empty ADAC measured 9.3 L/100 km, and rapid charging uses the rarely found CHAdeMO plug.

Measured figures are compared only with an official figure in the same unit and test basis; the bar’s tick marks 100% of the claim. Winter results are shown, not judged. How the evidence check works.
How far can it go?
The published reference is Up to 85 km electric. WLTP, Germany; Mitsubishi UK quotes 53 miles all-electric range. US EPA figure for the 2026 model is 44–45 miles. Compare it only with figures from the same test cycle. For a plug-in hybrid this is the electric-only range before the engine takes over.

Speed, temperature, wind, elevation, tyres, load and cabin heating or cooling all change real-world range. How EPA, WLTP and CLTC differ.
How quickly does it charge?
The highest published DC figure is CHAdeMO DC. About 32 minutes to 80% claimed via CHAdeMO; Mitsubishi does not state the peak kW. ADAC lists 40 kW as maker data. A peak rate is reached briefly; the average across a session is lower.
Home charging time depends on the energy added, the car’s AC limit, the charger and the supply. Estimate a session with this car’s battery.
What to check before buying
- Who is it for?
- Families who can charge at home, need four-wheel drive or seven seats, and mostly make trips under about 70 km.
- What needs checking?
- Fuel use on long trips once the battery is empty, and whether CHAdeMO rapid chargers exist on your routes. The current model has no Euro NCAP rating, and the US 2025 model was not rated by NHTSA.
- What is the evidence?
- An ADAC road test (August 2026) of the 306 PS Diamant Top 4WD, plus three NHTSA recall campaigns for US model years 2023–2026.
