We’ve been waiting for it for years, but it should finally make its way to Canada for the 2018 model year. It doesn’t really have a choice, as the Quebec government is starting to force automakers in selling PHEVs and EVs in 2018. The Outlander plug-in hybrid relies on a 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine and two electric motors to create an all-wheel drivetrain and a combined output of 200 horsepower. The SUV’s EV driving range is estimated at 54 kilometres in Europe, and a quick charge port—a rarity on PHEVs—will allow an 80% recharge in about 25 minutes.
