Interior and Tech: Finely Crafted Versatility

Step inside the 2025 Outlander PHEV and you’ll find a cabin that blends upscale materials with ergonomic design. Quilted leather seating, available front-seat massage, and a wide range of trim options help the Outlander punch above its price tag, especially in the upper trims. The digital gauge cluster and crisp 9-inch infotainment touchscreen feel intuitive without overcomplicating the user experience, and important functions like climate control still offer physical buttons—a welcome relief for Arkansas drivers adjusting controls on the go. The Sorento PHEV’s 12.3-inch touchscreen and leather-trimmed SX Prestige trim are polished, but its heavy reliance on screen-based controls may not be as driver-friendly in real-world situations.

Both models support wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and both offer premium sound systems, panoramic roofs, and wireless charging. But Mitsubishi goes a step further with standard all-wheel drive, more diverse drive modes (including Gravel and Snow), and a 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty for added peace of mind. Add in better third-row functionality and a truly refined interior ambiance, and the Outlander PHEV delivers a cabin experience that feels both more versatile and more rewarding. Whether you're commuting in Little Rock or headed toward the trails outside Hot Springs, the Outlander PHEV provides the kind of technology and comfort that elevate every trip without overwhelming the driver.
