2024 Mitsubishi Outlander Plug-In Hybrid
small SUV / 4-door SUV
Small overlap front
The small overlap front evaluation consists of a driver-side and a passenger-side component. If the results of the two evaluations differ, then the combined small overlap rating is equal to the lower rating.
Driver-side
- Rating applies to 2023-24 models built after May 2023
Tested vehicle: 2023 Mitsubishi Outlander Plug-in Hybrid SEL 4-door 4wd
The Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV Plug-in hybrid was redesigned for the 2023 model year. Beginning with 2023 models built after May 2023, improvements were made to the front driver-side door latch to improve occupant protection in small overlap frontal crashes. (Information about when a specific vehicle was manufactured is on the certification label typically affixed to the driver door or adjacent B-pillar.) Driver-side small overlap frontal ratings are assigned by the Institute based on a test of a 2023 model Outlander Plug-in hybrid conducted by Mitsubishi.

Overall rating | |
| Distance at which headlights provide at least 5 lux illumination: | |
Low beams
On the straightaway, visibility was good on both sides of the road. On curves, visibility was good in all 4 tests.
The low beams created some glare.
High beams
On the straightaway, visibility was good on both sides of the road. On curves, visibility was good on the gradual left and gradual right curves and fair on the sharp right and sharp left curves.
High-beam assist compensates for some limitations of this vehicle's low beams on the sharp left curve and on the sharp right curve.
