Understanding the Outlander PHEV’s Driving Modes

The Outlander PHEV features several driving modes including EV Drive, Series Hybrid, Parallel Hybrid, and Battery Save. Each mode adjusts how the gasoline engine and electric motors work together, allowing you to tailor your drive based on road conditions and energy needs.

How to Customize Your Driving Experience

  • EV Drive Mode: Use this for short trips and city driving to maximize electric-only range.
  • Series Hybrid Mode: Ideal for low-speed driving where the gasoline engine generates electricity for the motors.
  • Parallel Hybrid Mode: Best for highway cruising, combining electric and gasoline power for efficiency.
  • Battery Save Mode: Preserves battery charge for later use, such as driving in areas with restrictions on emissions.

To switch modes, use the drive mode selector on your dashboard. Experiment with different modes to see which fits your driving style and conditions best. Regularly customizing your Outlander PHEV’s driving modes can help improve fuel economy, reduce emissions, and enhance overall driving comfort.
