Paris 2014: Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV Concept-S Unveiled
Mitsubishi has taken its Outlander PHEV upscale with the debut of the Concept-S at the 2014 Paris Auto Show.
A demonstration of what a future upscale offering will entail, the Concept-S has chrome accents, wrap-around headlamps, black woodgrain, leather seats and a center console meant to invoke traditional Japanese lacquered boxes.
Aside from the premium options, the Concept-S is like the other Outlander PHEVs with its 2-liter four-pot and twin-electric motors linked to a lithium-ion pack. Electric-only mode delivers a range of 32.5 miles, and offers 148 MPGe on the European cycle. The Outlander can also charge its battery pack while on the go.
Alas, it’ll be until 2016 at the earliest before North America finally receives its invitation to the Outlander PHEV party.

It ain't Grand Cherokee but the lines are nice and straight, nothing like Toyotas or lord forbid Lexuses. Now please tell me why it should totally suck because of some mechanical ailment.
The front end looks like they hit a flying squirrel at top speed.
