D'Arcy Mitsubishi - Why the 2025 Outlander Plug-In Hybrid’s Charging and S-AWC Shine for Crest Hill, IL Drivers
When drivers around Crest Hill, IL compare electrified SUVs, two questions rise to the top: How easy is charging, and how confident will it feel in bad weather? The 2025 Outlander Plug-In Hybrid answers both with practical charging options and Mitsubishi’s signature Super All-Wheel Control (S-AWC). With a professionally installed Level 2 charger at home, the lithium-ion battery can fully charge overnight so you leave every morning ready for errands and commutes on pure electric power. Longer trips are simple too: the system can blend electric motors with the efficient 2.4L MIVEC engine to deliver flexible, confident performance. On those winter days when conditions are unpredictable, Twin Motor S-AWC uses an electric motor front and rear for precise, near-instant torque distribution, and the Drive Mode Selector lets you tap into dedicated settings such as Snow, Gravel, and Mud.
Inside, the 2025 Outlander PHEV complements its capability with a modern cabin designed to keep you connected and comfortable. A 12.3-inch Full Digital Driver Display and 9-inch center touchscreen are intuitive to use, while wireless Apple CarPlay® and wired Android Auto™ make syncing your phone seamless. Available MI-PILOT Assist™ can help reduce fatigue by combining Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop & Go and lane centering, and tri-zone automatic climate control keeps everyone comfortable in all three rows. For audiophiles, the available Bose premium sound system lends clarity and depth to podcasts and playlists alike. At D'Arcy Mitsubishi, serving Romeoville, New Lenox, and Crest Hill, our team can show you how these technologies work together in real time on a test drive and help you plan the optimal charging setup for your home.
