Mitsubishi Australia has announced updates to the Outlander PHEV for the 2019 model year, the plug-in hybrid electric SUV now starts at $45,990 plus on-road costs.

Buyers will need to part with an additional $1500 to add forward collision mitigation, lane departure warning, automatic high beam, adaptive cruise control and an auto-dimming rear-view mirror.
Exterior changes to for 2019 include revised front and rear bumpers, grille and 18-inch alloy wheels.
The interior gets new seats trimmed in leather and microsuede, an upgraded centre console with a soft pad leather armrest, one-touch power window operation (driver’s door), illuminated power window switches, speed limiter, rear air vents and silver pinstripe detailing on the dash and door trim.
