2023 Mitsubishi Outlander Plug-In Hybrid Named “Northwest Outdoor Activity Vehicle of the Year” by Northwest Auto Press Association

Members of the Northwest Automotive Press Association (NWAPA) wrapped up two days of on- and off-road testing at The Ridge Motorsports Park in Shelton, Wash., and the votes are in and conclusive: the 2023 Mitsubishi Outlander Plug-in Hybrid is NWAPA’s Northwest Outdoor Activity Vehicle of the Year, against stiff competition from 21 other SUVs and pickup trucks.  The vehicle also won a category award, being named “Best Three-row Family SUV”. Since its launch in December 2022, the 2023 Outlander PHEV has been garnering awards and media accolades for its interior and exterior styling, driving dynamics, super-all-wheel control, all-wheel drive system, and seamless blend of electric and gasoline drive systems.

“Every award is special, and is a nod to our design and engineering teams’ passion and talent,” said Mark Chaffin, president and CEO, Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc. “But awards that recognize the Outlander Plug-in Hybrid’s on- and off-road all-weather breadth of capability, as well as the unique three-row, seven-passenger capability, speak directly to how our customers use their vehicles every day, regardless of road conditions.”

The 2023 Outlander Plug-in Hybrid offers up to 38 miles of all-electric range, up to 420 miles of overall range and is the only plug-in hybrid on the market with available DC fast-charging capability (SEL and above models), which can fill the 20kWh battery pack to 80% capacity in just 38 minutes.

“The victory might be a surprise for some, but not for those that tested the all-new Mitsubishi Outlander Plug-in Hybrid,” said NWAPA President and Event Chair Nik Miles. “It is well-equipped, extremely capable, and is loaded with features not seen on other plug-in hybrids.”
