Vehicles aren't just limited to internal combustion engines anymore, and Mitsubishi is a leader in producing vehicles with diverse powertrain options. This is seen in two of its compact SUVs: the 2025 Outlander Plug-in Hybrid and the gas-powered 2025 Eclipse Cross. Today, your local Mitsubishi dealership will provide a detailed comparison of the two crossovers so you can better understand which one is best for your needs. Your Mitsubishi Dealership Presents: The 2025 Outlander Plug-in Hybrid vs. 2025 Eclipse Cross Performance and Powertrain The Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV's powertrain consists of a 2.4L inline-four engine and two electric motors, one on the front axle and one on the rear. The system produces a combined 248 hp and 332 lb-ft of torque. Thanks to the 20-kWh battery, the Outlander PHEV has an all-electric range of 38 miles, which is sufficient for short commutes and errands. This SUV is incredibly efficient, with an EPA-estimated 64 MPGe combined. The Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross uses a 1.5L turbocharged gas engine, producing 152 hp and 184 lb-ft of torque. It's mated to a CVT with 8-speed Sport Mode. Like the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV, Super All-Wheel Control (S-AWC) is standard. Three standard drive modes enable drivers to fine-tune their vehicle's driving dynamics, with modes for Snow, Gravel, and Auto. Interior and Cargo The Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV caters to big families with its seven-passenger seating configuration across three rows. Soft-touch surfaces can be found throughout the cabin, creating a luxurious and upscale feel. The environment is further enhanced by the acoustic windshield glass and improved noise cancellation. Heated front seats are standard, while heated rear seats are available in SEL trims. When the need arises, you can fold down all seats to create 65 cu.ft. of cargo space. The Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross is more compact than the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV, offering room for five across two rows. The fronts seats are ergonomically designed to provide maximum comfort and come standard with heating in every model except the base trim. Higher trims include convenient features such as a hands-free power liftgate and power-folding mirrors. Cargo space is generous for a compact SUV, with 23 cu.ft. in the rear and 50 cu.ft. with the rear seats folded. Infotainment and Connectivity The Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV offers a 9-inch infotainment touchscreen in all trims except the base model, which has an 8-inch display. The operating software offers Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and a navigation system. Most trims also include a wireless charging pad for easy phone charging. In the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross, all models except the base ES trim have an 8-inch center touchscreen. The same smartphone integration is offered, and a navigation is included in higher trims. Buyers looking for an efficient, family-friendly vehicle will be pleased with the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV, while those who desire a more compact vehicle with traditional gas reliability will love the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross.
