FRANKLIN, Tenn., Sept. 26, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc. (MMNA) proudly announces that the Mitsubishi Outlander Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV) has been named Green Car Journal''s 2025 Family Green Car of the Year, marking the third consecutive year that the Outlander Plug-in Hybrid has claimed the prestigious award. Outlander Plug-in Hybrid is the first vehicle in the history of the Green Car Awards to score a three-peat, adding to a host of other awards and accolades.

As the first plug-in hybrid electric SUV and still the world's best-selling all-wheel drive plug-in hybrid SUV¹, the Mitsubishi Outlander Plug-in Hybrid offers an unparalleled blend of electrification, performance, and versatility. With a 38-mile all-electric range and a total hybrid driving range of up to 420 miles², the Outlander Plug-in Hybrid remains a top choice for families seeking a balance of sustainability and convenience.

"The Outlander Plug-in Hybrid is an ideal choice for families desiring a versatile vehicle that speaks to electrification and decreased carbon emissions, without requiring sacrifices in capabilities or driving range," said Ron Cogan, editor and publisher of Green Car Journal and GreenCarJournal.com. "This plug-in hybrid's 38-mile battery electric range meets the driving needs of a great many families who wish to drive zero-emission every day, with longer journeys accommodated by its overall 420-mile range as a hybrid."

Green Car Journal''s Family Green Car of the Year Award recognizes vehicles that excel in environmental performance while offering style and versatility. The Outlander Plug-in Hybrid's winning combination of advanced plug-in hybrid technology, Mitsubishi's Super All-Wheel Control (S-AWC) system³, and the convenience of a spacious, all-weather family vehicle have made it an unstoppable force in the competition.

"What a thrill to accept our third-consecutive Family Green Car of the Year Award," said Mark Chaffin, MMNA President and CEO. "The Outlander Plug-in Hybrid exemplifies Mitsubishi's commitment to providing practical and sustainable driving solutions without compromise, and this technology is the perfect bridge for those not yet ready to transition to a full battery electric vehicle. As part of our Momentum 2030 plan, we are dedicated to advancing eco-friendly technologies and reducing our environmental impact, while meeting the everyday needs of our customers."

In addition to the Family Green Car Award, the Outlander Plug-in Hybrid has been honored with multiple other prestigious accolades, including the 2024 MotorWeek Drivers' Choice Award for Best Small Utility, Puros Autos' Latin Flavor SUV of the Year, and a Top Safety Pick designation from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).
