Mitsubishi Motors' flagship Outlander Plug-in Hybrid added to its growing list of awards, earning Money's Best for Safety honor in the Plug-in Hybrid SUV category, and the 2023 Mirage took top honors for Best Value for a subcompact car.

Money's Best Autos of 2023 safety category included assessments focused, in part, on standard and additional safety features available for each vehicle, including forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, and adaptive cruise control. Testing also took into account the performance of headlights in independent testing. When evaluating pricing and value, the publication began with each vehicle's starting price along with trim levels that offer the best value and cost of ownership. In addition, Money.com utilized ownership data from Kelley Blue Book, including depreciation and residual value over time, insurance costs, reliability, and likely cost of repairs.

As the best-equipped Mitsubishi ever sold in the U.S., the Outlander Family offers an impressive array of standard and available driver assistance systems for driver confidence and convenience. The 2023 Outlander Plug-in Hybrid offers up to 38 miles of all-electric range, up to 420 miles of overall range1, and is the only plug-in hybrid on the market with available DC fast-charging capability (SEL and above models), which can fill the 20kWh battery pack to 80% capacity in just 38 minutes.2 All models also feature Mitsubishi's new 'Innovative Pedal' technology, which allows near-one-pedal acceleration and deceleration, similar to full battery electric vehicles.3 This system further differentiates the Outlander Plug-in Hybrid from other plug-in hybrids and highlights the vehicle's electric-first design philosophy.

The Mitsubishi Mirage – the most fuel-efficient, non-hybrid, gasoline-fueled new car sold in America4 – heads into 2023 following a recent redesign that included significant exterior styling updates and added and upgraded technology, including standard advanced safety features, Apple CarPlay®5 and Android Auto™6 compatibility. Combined with its sedan counterpart, the 2023 Mitsubishi Mirage G4, both vehicles offer buyers a compelling blend of updated styling, enhanced safety, versatility, and value.

'If safety is at the top of your list, the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV is a solid pick for the category,' said automotive journalist Jaclyn Trop of Money.com. In terms of the Mitsubishi Mirage, Trop went on to say, 'Priced from little more than $16,245, the Mitsubishi Mirage is an economical subcompact car with excellent fuel efficiency.'
