Mitsubishi puts an interesting, but no longer entirely novel, spin on the compact SUV.
The new, larger battery can be replenished by the engine or by plugging in. A DC fast-charger took the depleted battery to 94 percent in 61 minutes. The EPA estimates 38 miles of EV range; in our 75-mph highway test, we went 24 miles before the engine fired up.
Other modes can add to or preserve the battery's state of charge or just let the system decide the motive mix. The standard digital instrument cluster keeps tabs on the hybrid system's noisy machinations, although the readout isn't easy to follow. Paddles adjust brake regeneration, and a console button brings nearly one-pedal driving. Using the actual brake pedal is not so satisfying, with lots of dead travel. Still, our 171-foot stop from 70 was acceptably short.
That cabin—which is similar to a top-spec Rogue's—is roomy, except for the third row, which is so small as to be strictly theoretical. Our top-level SEL S-AWC example came with the ritzy SEL Premium package for $2700.
