Mitsubishi's Super-All Wheel Control (S-AWC) all-wheel-drive system expertly sends power to specific wheels to carve through turns with inspiring precision, making it a standout among its rivals. Acceleration is immediate and should propel it to 60 mph in under 7 seconds, but the real star is its sporty handling. ![]() While there are some drawbacks related to efficiency, the Outlander PHEV makes up for it with surprisingly strong performance. ![]() Unfortunately, that quick charge requires an older CHAdeMO receptacle, which is being phased out among public charging stations.
