Reviews SummaryNow in its second generation, the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV is a compelling package. It offers good tech and safety features courtesy of its corporate parent Nissan, and its pricing is in line with the brand’s value-driven mandate. If you’re in the market for a three-row crossover SUV and want to explore your plug-in hybrid options, we can’t fault you for looking closely at the Outlander. After our test drive in an Outlander PHEV in SEL S-AWC trim, we loved its all-electric driving range but were unimpressed by the roly-poly driving experience, and we would reserve third-row vacancies for only our worst enemies. | |
Reviews SummaryPlug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEVs) are perfect transition models for people who want to try an electric vehicle but are not ready to completely give up the convenience of a gasoline engine. Enter the 2022 Toyota RAV4 Prime, a PHEV with an estimated 68 kilometres of electric range and a total estimate of more than 900 kilometres of travel between stops for electricity or gasoline. The RAV4 Prime arrived for the 2021 model year and there are no major changes for 2022. | |
