AI Summary

Mitsubishi is re‑introducing the third‑generation Outlander plug‑in hybrid SUV to the Philippine market. The model was first offered in September 2020, but sales were negligible because the country was still under pandemic lockdowns and public charging infrastructure was almost nonexistent outside a few mall basements. The new launch comes as the automaker continues to push its PHEV lineup in Southeast Asia. The company plans to make the Outlander available in Manila and other major cities, hoping improved charging networks and consumer awareness will boost uptake.
