Mitsubishi Motors Corp. sold more than 5,000 Outland PHEV SUVs in Canada through the first 11 months of 2018, which the carmaker says sets a new full-year record for a plug-in hybrid vehicle in the country.

Nearly half (47%) of the Outlander PHEV’s Canadian sales came from Quebec. Mitsubishi touts the vehicle as the most affordable plug-in hybrid SUV in Canada with a starting price of C$44,700 ($33,800).

Mitsubishi gave the midsize Outlander PHEV a mid-cycle freshening this year. Changes included an upgraded battery and powertrain to boost efficiency and driving range.

    One of the things that rarely gets the amount of attention that it should in a typical “car review” is the fact that for a considerable amount of time drivers are not “getting on the throttle” because for a considerable number of drivers, they’re “dwelling on the binders,” a.k.a., sitting with their foot depressed on the brakes, perhaps lifting every now and then in order to nudge forward in traffic.
