2025 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV SUV Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2025 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV is a compact plug-in hybrid SUV with a small third row. Its powertrain consists of a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine and two electric motors (one motor assists the engine in powering the front wheels, while a second motor exclusively powers the rears). Total output is 248 horsepower and 332 lb-ft of torque. All-wheel drive is standard.

It is available in three primary trims: ES, SE and SEL. Multiple trim-specific packages are available that further alter their equipment levels.

ES
The base ES trim covers the basics, including:

  • 18-inch alloy wheels
  • Selectable drive modes
  • Dual-zone automatic climate control
  • Cloth upholstery
  • Heated front seats
  • Digital instrument panel
  • 8-inch infotainment touchscreen
  • Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
  • Remote vehicle services

Standard driver assist features include:

  • Forward collision mitigation (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)
  • Blind-spot warning with rear cross-traffic warning (alerts you if a vehicle is in your blind spot during a lane change or while in reverse)
  • Lane departure warning (alerts you if the vehicle begins to drift out of its lane)
  • Rear cross-traffic warning (alerts you if a vehicle behind you is about to cross your path while you're in reverse)
  • Rear automatic braking (applies the brakes automatically to avoid an imminent collision with an object behind the vehicle)
  • Driver attention monitor (issues an alert if sensors determine you are becoming fatigued)
  • Trailer stability control (adjusts vehicle brakes to help control trailer movement if a trailer begins to sway)
  • Automatic high beams

SE
The SE trim level adds many desirable features that can make the Outlander look and feel like a premium vehicle. These include:

  • 20-inch wheels
  • LED foglights
  • Power-folding heated mirrors
  • Power liftgate
  • Rain-sensing wipers
  • Synthetic leather upholstery
  • Leather-wrapped steering wheel
  • Power driver's seat
  • 9-inch infotainment touchscreen with navigation
  • Wireless charging pad

Additional driver assist features on the SE trim include:

  • Surround-view camera system (gives you a top-down view of the vehicle and its surroundings for tight parking situations)
  • Adaptive cruise control (adjusts speed to maintain a constant distance between the vehicle and the car in front)
  • Lane keeping assistance (makes minor steering corrections to help keep the vehicle centered in its lane)

The SE Tech package adds the following:

  • Nine-speaker Bose sound system
  • Panoramic sunroof
  • Auto-dimming rearview mirror

SEL
The SEL is effectively four different trim levels in one as there are SEL Premium, SEL Black Edition and SEL Platinum Edition variants available.

The basic SEL builds upon the SE with body-color exterior accents, interior trim upgrades and extra/upgraded equipment that includes:

  • Panoramic sunroof
  • Roof rails
  • DC fast-charging capability
  • Three-zone automatic climate control
  • Driver's seat memory settings
  • Power passenger seat
  • Leather upholstery
  • Heated steering wheel
  • Heated outboard rear seats
  • Rear side sunshades
  • Two household-style power outlets

SEL Premium additions to the SEL's equipment are:

  • Semi-aniline leather upholstery
  • Head-up display
  • Bose sound system

SEL Black Edition additions to the SEL's equipment are:

  • Blacked-out exterior trim
  • Black 20-inch wheels
  • Semi-aniline leather upholstery
  • Option of a black roof

SEL Platinum additions to the SEL's equipment are:

  • Black roof
  • Head-up display
  • Bose sound system

Which Outlander PHEV trim does Edmunds recommend?

We would recommend the SE trim level, as it adds an ample amount of equipment beyond the base model, including the 9-inch infotainment upgrade and various driver assistance technologies. Its price tag seems like the sweet spot that maximizes the Outlander PHEV's value. Those looking to the Outlander PHEV as a family hauler or road trip vehicle, however, might find stretching to the SEL worthwhile given it adds sunshades, heated outboard seats, three-zone climate control and household-style plugs.
