The innovative Plug-in Hybrid EV system that powers the Outlander PHEV delivers remarkable eco efficiency without compromising comfort, performance or convenience.
With a current global market share of 18 per cent, one of the main factors that have made the Outlander PHEV one of the most sought after vehicles globally is its technology.

The battery is stored under the floor to maximize interior space and lower the centre of gravity for improved safety and handling.
In the electric driving mode, the vehicle uses only electricity from the battery, resulting in zero fuel consumption and zero CO2 emissions.
