It packs more features as standard and “Outlander” lettering on the bonnet
Since the UK is Mitsubishi's largest market for the Outlander PHEV, the Japanese automaker has released a special edition model exclusively for the Albion.
The plug-in hybrid SUV is from now on available in a high-specification special edition called the Outlander PHEV Juro. Based on the GX3+ trim level, the Juro costs the same (£32,749 including Plug-In Car Grant), despite packing a series of additional features as standard.
These include a touchscreen CD/DVD infotainment unit with TomTom satellite navigation, smartphone integration, and DAB radio, while the exterior gets an Outlander bonnet emblem – I wonder what Land Rover thinks of that? Standard equipment also consists of 18-inch alloy wheels, dual-zone climate control, cruise control, heated front seats, a leather-wrapped multifunction steering wheel, and C-Tec seat fabric.
Nothing changes mechanically: the Outlander PHEV Juro retains its all-electric driving range of 32 miles (51.5 km) from the 119 hp 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine and the two electric motors rated at 60 kW (80 hp) each.
The Outlander PHEV is the UK's best-selling plug-in hybrid vehicle, with sales of more than 25,000 units since its launch in 2014.
