NEW YORK: The production models of the 2017 Mitsubishi Outlander Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) and the 2017 Mirage G4 subcompact sedan were revealed at the 2016 New York International Auto Show.

"Outlander PHEV offers the best of both worlds providing true SUV capabilities along with electric driving efficiency without the worry of range anxiety. Mirage G4 joins the popular Mirage hatchback to form a formidable one-two punch in the subcompact segment," said Mitsubishi Motors North America executive vice president Don Swearingen.

The Outlander PHEV has a 2.0-litre petrol engine and two high-performance electric motors that drive Mitsubishi's superior Super All-Wheel Control (S-AWC) system.

Mounted separately at the front and rear axles the electric motors deliver precise, responsive 4WD performance with the S-AWC system ensuring excellent driving stability and intuitive, linear handling.

The S-AWC system found on the Outlander PHEV is a specialized application of Lancer Evolution-derived Super All-Wheel Control honed on the world rally circuit.

A sibling to the well-established and popular Mirage hatchback, the all-new Mirage G4 brings to consumers a fresh dose of clean style, environmental consciousness, agility, connectivity, affordability, roominess, and value.

Inside, the Mirage G4's long wheelbase provides for a spacious interior cabin and a cavernous trunk.
