The Outlander PHEV is Mitsubishi Motors' flagship model, launched in 2013 as the world's first AWD SUV-type PHEV. Based on the concept of "EV for everyday use, hybrid for long trips," this SUV offers powerful, smooth and quiet driving that only an EV can provide, allowing safe and secure motoring in a variety of weather conditions and road surfaces. This major improvement has resulted in significant improvements in EV cruising range, power performance and comfort.

The Open Cpuntry tires that we are supplying as original; equipment were developed using Toyo Tires proprietary material design platform technology "Nano Balance Technology" and  proprietary tire design platform technology "T-MODE," achieving high environmental performance and high-quality, stable ride comfort that the new "Outlander PHEV" requires.
