Used Mitsubishi hybrid cars

Mitsubishi only makes one hybrid – the Outlander PHEV. This is a plug-in hybrid SUV, so you can charge it from the mains, allowing you to travel short journeys on electrical power alone. Over the past few years the Outlander has been one of the most popular plugin-hybrid models in the UK.

Although the majority of the electrical charge for the Outlander comes from plugging it in, the car also uses the energy generated from the brakes to help recharge the electric motor’s battery. There is also a function that lets you use the engine to help recharge the battery.

In terms of the distance you can run on pure electric power in an Outlander, the battery can last up to 28 miles. If you are thinking about the lifespan of the battery itself, then Mitsubishi supplies a warranty that lasts eight years or 100,000 miles from new.

A Mitsubishi hybrid is particularly effective if the majority of your journeys are relatively short, as you can drive on purely electric power – which is far more cost-effective than travelling on petrol power.
