Determined to bring down the Honda CR-V, Mitsubishi Outlander is about to add a new version with an attractive expected price

The Ralliart sub-brand was revived by Mitsubishi two years ago and the first high-performance car in the Ralliart lineup will likely take its roots from the hybrid version of the Mitsubishi Outlander range.

According to Best Car magazine from Japan, next year, this market will welcome the launch of the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV Ralliart version – a serious rival of Honda CR-V. The prototype of this car is the Vision Ralliart concept that was introduced last year.

If this information is correct, the first “complete” high-performance vehicle of the Ralliart sub-brand will be the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV Ralliart. For the lineup of high-performance cars that have been neglected by the Japanese car brand in the past, this will be an extremely valuable addition.

Compared to the regular hybrid version, the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV Ralliart will be slightly upgraded in the powertrain by fine-tuning the power of the electric motor, thereby increasing the total power of the whole system by 37.5 hp compared to the conventional hybrid version. the original, reaching 286 hp. It is not clear whether the car’s torque has been improved or not, but the initial torque level is also quite good at 450 Nm.

In addition to the sportier exterior bodykit, to support the sporty and off-road driving experience, the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV Ralliart will also be tweaked with the suspension system as well as reinforced the chassis.

According to rumors, the new Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV Ralliart will have a starting price of 40,800 USD, equivalent to about 970 million VND. This price is slightly higher than the $ 36,500 threshold of the regular version. However, with the above upgrades, this can also be considered an attractive price, enough to help the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV Ralliart put pressure on the Honda CR-V.
