Close Summer is the season of open roads, weekend getaways, and long drives up the coast. If you are searching for a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle that can handle everything summer throws at it without stopping at the gas station every few hours, the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV deserves a close look. At Cherry Hill Mitsubishi, we proudly serve Philadelphia and all of South Jersey, and the Outlander PHEV ranks among the most talked-about vehicles in our new inventory.
What Makes the Outlander PHEV Ideal for Road Trips?
The Outlander PHEV combines a traditional gasoline engine with two electric motors for a versatile driving experience. For road trips, this combination is ideal. You can drive on electric power for shorter legs of your journey and seamlessly transition to hybrid mode when the battery depletes. There is no range anxiety because the gasoline engine takes over whenever needed.
The Outlander PHEV delivers an EPA-Estimated 67 miles per gallon equivalent in city driving and provides a range that covers both the electric and gasoline phases of your drive. For summer road trippers heading from Cherry Hill to the Jersey Shore, the Poconos, or even destinations like Washington, D.C., or Cape May, the efficiency adds up quickly. If you want to dig deeper into why buying a PHEV hybrid makes sense, our team has put together a helpful resource that breaks down the real-world advantages.
Beyond fuel savings, the Outlander PHEV offers comfort and technology suited for long-distance travel. The cabin features dual-zone climate control, a large Touchscreen display, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration, heated front seats, and a power liftgate.
All-Wheel Drive and Capability for Summer Adventures
One of the most distinctive features of the Outlander PHEV is its Super All-Wheel Control system. Unlike a conventional all-wheel drive setup, the Outlander PHEV uses its twin electric motors to deliver independent torque to the front and rear axles. This creates exceptional traction and handling across a wide range of conditions, including wet Jersey roads, sandy coastal approaches, and mountain terrain.
Summer driving in New Jersey and Pennsylvania can vary widely. Morning rain, beach parking lot ruts, and winding roads through the Delaware Water Gap are all conditions the Outlander PHEV handles with confidence. Whether your summer plans include camping in the Poconos, a day trip through Wharton State Forest, or a weekend at the Delaware shore, the Outlander PHEV gives you the confidence to explore without limits. Drivers cross-shopping other capable models may also want to explore the 2025 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross, another strong all-weather option in the Mitsubishi lineup.
Charging Options for Summer Travelers
One concern that sometimes comes up with plug-in hybrid vehicles is how practical charging is on the road. The Outlander PHEV addresses this well. For everyday driving, many Cherry Hill-area owners charge at home overnight using a Level 1 outlet or a faster Level 2 charger. On road trips, the gasoline engine supports all driving needs when a charging station is not nearby.
The growing network of Level 2 and direct-current fast-charging stations along popular corridors, including the New Jersey Turnpike, the Garden State Parkway, and Interstate 95, makes extended plug-in-hybrid travel increasingly convenient. Cherry Hill has a number of accessible public charging options, and our team at Cherry Hill Mitsubishi can walk you through all available charging strategies when you schedule a visit with us.
