Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV Concept-S

While the Outlander PHEV boasts a clever hybrid powertrain, it sure does look dull. Perhaps finally realising this, Mitsubishi has created the Concept-S which is due to debut at next month’s Paris Motor Show.

The SUV’s front end gains added presence thanks to a successful facelift. The grille is bolder, the bonnet is more sculpted and the headlights are better integrated. It’s a similar story at the rear, where redesigned light clusters stretch across the whole width of the vehicle and striking chrome accents add further visual interest.

On the inside, the Concept-S features burgundy hand-stitched leather which is complemented by black wood trim. The result is certainly more exciting than the current version’s all-black upholstery options.

Whether or not the Concept-S becomes the next production Outlander remains to be seen. It would be puzzling if that didn’t happen, though.

Although its capacity is only 875 cc, a turbocharger and the MultiAir electro-hydraulic valve control system mean it produces a respectable 83 bhp (62 kW / 85 PS) and 145 Nm (103 lb/ft) of torque. Performance might not be scintillating - the 0-62 mph (100 km/h) sprint takes 12.5 seconds and maximum speed is 108 mph (173 km/h) - but the TwinAir’s trump card is efficiency. Carbon dioxide emissions are only 98 g/km, a level that brings numerous benefits for UK drivers including zero road tax, a full discount on the London Congestion Charge and qualification for the lowest company car benefit-in-kind rate. Fuel economy is also decent and, according to the official figures, a TwinAir-powered MiTo will manage 67.3 mpg (4.2 l/100km) on the combined cycle. Impressive maybe, but still some way off the 78.5 mpg (3.6 l/100km) of the existing 1.3 JTDM-2 diesel MiTo. However, any
