“With Earth Day coming up (April 22), it’s great to see this Outlander PHEV getting some attention,” Urso said. “And it can qualify for up to $7,500 in federal EV incentives.”

Johnny Legends Mitsubishi was named the district’s No. 1 Mitsubishi dealer for customer satisfaction. The dealer also topped the 2022 regional list for No. 1 Mitsubishi dealer for customer experience and finished third in the country for customer experience.

Urso said the Outlander keeps turning heads with its range.

The 2023 Outlander boasts nearly a 420-mile hybrid range and close to 38-mile electric-only range and can get up to an 80 percent battery charge in less than 40 minutes with a DC fast-changing unit.

Starting at under $40,000 depending on the trim level, the 2023 Outlander PHEV features a standard all-wheel-drive system and seven different driving modes including Eco, Normal, Power, Mud, Gravel, Snow and Tarmac.
