Ready to travel around Keene or Nashua in a plug-in hybrid SUV? Think outside the box by choosing the new Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV. Because we want Concord customers to be confident in their decision, Keene Mitsubishi is here to compare the 2023 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV to another plug-in hybrid SUV competitor, the Kia Sorento PHEV. See how the new Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV outlasts Kia's plug-in hybrid SUV before shopping at our Mitsubishi dealership in Keene.
Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV vs. Kia Sorento PHEV Performance
Travel farther on pure electric power with the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV, which offers 38 miles of all-electric range. That way, you can run several errands around Keene or Nashua before using a drop of gas. The Kia Sorento PHEV only offers 32 miles of all-electric range.
Dual electric motors and a 2.4-liter 4-cylinder engine output 248 total horsepower and 332 pound-feet of torque in the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV. This is a significantly higher torque value than the Kia Sorento PHEV's plug-in hybrid drivetrain that delivers 261 horsepower and only 258 pound-feet of torque.
Kia's plug-in hybrid features all-wheel drive, but the setup is much less robust than Super All-Wheel Control in the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV, which provides Manchester, NH motorists with more effortless handling and control.
Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV vs. Kia Sorento PHEV Battery & Charging
The Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV holds a better charge, thanks to a 20-kWh lithium-ion battery pack, much larger than the Kia Sorento PHEV's 13.8-kWh battery. Both plug-in hybrid SUVs can be charged at your home in Amherst, MA, Keene, or Nashua with a Level 2 240-volt charger.
The Kia Sorento PHEV can't recharge as quickly, though. The Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV offers DC fast charging capability. This allows you to plug in at a public charging station around Concord or Manchester, NH and use a DC fast charger to replenish range by 80 percent in 38 minutes.
Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV vs. Kia Sorento PHEV Design
Each plug-in hybrid SUV features three rows and room for seven to accommodate growing families from Amherst, MA. Each SUV offers 12 cubic feet of storage behind the rear seats, but Concord drivers have more room to work with in the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV, which expands to a max cargo volume of 80 cubic feet, compared to 76 cubic feet in Kia's model.
Inside, the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV keeps Keene drivers and fellow passengers comfortable by offering heated front seats, synthetic leather seating surfaces, and 3-Zone Automatic Climate Control. The Kia Sorento PHEV only offers leather seat trim and Dual-Zone Auto Climate Control, but can match the heated front seats with ventilation functionality. Outside, the Kia Sorento PHEV shines with LED Projector Headlights and LED taillights, compared to LED Low and High Beam Headlights and LED taillights in the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV.
Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV vs. Kia Sorento PHEV Technology
Thanks to standard Apple CarPlay®/Android Auto™ compatibility in each plug-in hybrid SUV, Concord drivers have convenient access to their smartphone. Both SUVs include a wireless phone charger and a standard 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster. The Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV gives Nashua drivers access to navigation through a 9-inch display, while the Kia Sorento PHEV counters with navigation and a 10.25-inch touchscreen.
Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV vs. Kia Sorento PHEV Safety
The Kia Sorento PHEV includes a Blind-Spot View Monitor, a 360-Degree Surround View Monitor, Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist, and Safe Exit Assist, but there are no semi-autonomous driving capabilities for Keene motorists to access like the Outlander PHEV offers with MI-PILOT Assist. This integrates embedded navigation, Lane Keep Assist, and other safety features so Concord drivers have extra confidence traveling on I-93 to Manchester, NH and back. Traffic Sign Recognition and Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop & Go in the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV are similar to Highway Driving Assist with Smart Cruise Control in the Kia Sorento PHEV.
How the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV Outshines the Kia Sorento PHEV
SUV shoppers from Manchester, NH can save money by choosing the new Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV, which starts at $39,845. The Kia Sorento PHEV has a starting price of $49,990, over $10,000 more than Mitsubishi's plug-in hybrid SUV.
Unlike Kia's plug-in hybrid SUV, the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV has enough range to travel from Concord to Manchester, NH on pure electric power alone. The Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV is a more spacious SUV for Amherst, MA families to enjoy. Plus, Concord drivers can charge their Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV faster, thanks to DC fast charging capability.
