Outlander PHEV range is not the same as all-electric range.

The short answer

How far can the 2025 Outlander PHEV drive on electricity, and how does its towing rating compare?

Mitsubishi's US 2025 PHEV information lists up to 38 miles on electricity and 420 miles total combined electricity-and-gasoline range, with 64 MPGe and a 20.0 kWh traction battery. With a factory-installed towing hitch, the PHEV maximum is 1,500 lb; the separately specified gasoline Outlander maximum is 2,000 lb.

Applicable to: US-market Mitsubishi 2025 Outlander PHEV versus 2025 gasoline Outlander. Range estimates follow Mitsubishi's US disclosures; maximum tow limits require the specified factory-installed hitch and depend on vehicle loading.

02 / Before you use these values

Match the exact vehicle.

Check 1

38 miles is the published maximum electric-only range; the 420-mile combined figure includes gasoline and must not be described as EV-only range.

Check 2

MPGe is an energy-efficiency comparison, not gasoline-only MPG, and a 20 kWh battery rating is not a guaranteed amount of usable power.

Check 3

Both towing limits require the appropriate factory hitch; consult the exact vehicle manual, loading and ratings before towing. Do not mix gas and plug-in-hybrid limits.
