According to a report on Automotive News Europe, Mitsubishi CEO Osamu Masuko has confirmed during an interview that a plug-in hybrid version of the next-generation ASX compact crossover and Pajero SUV are already being developed and will join the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV.
We can expect to see the new ASX debut in 2016, with the plug-in hybrid variant making its appearance the following year. As for the Pajero, the next-generation version is set to appear in 2018 with the plug-in hybrid set to follow not long after.
The current Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV is powered by a 2.0 litre MIVEC petrol engine producing 118 PS at 4,500 rpm and 186 Nm of torque at the same engine range. What’s more important is the inclusion of the electric motors, a small front unit and a larger one at the rear.
As a result, the front motor is capable of churning out 60 kW(80 hp) and 137 Nm of torque. This is in addition to the larger, rear motor which produces the same amount of horsepower and 195 Nm of torque. All the juice is provided by a lithium-ion battery with a maximum 12 kWh storage capacity.
For the future ASX – likely to be based on the XR-PHEV concept, a turbocharged, direct-injected 1.1 litre three-cylinder that will act as a range extender is expected. In an interview with motoring.com.au, Osamu confirmed this unit has been specifically developed for front-wheel drive applications.
In regards to the next-gen Pajero plug-in hybrid, the most possible powertrain option would be the 3.0 litre V6 MIVEC with 250 PS – which is mated to an eight-speed automatic, seen on the Mitsubishi GC-PHEV concept. The concept also had a 70 kW(94 hp) electric motor, powered by a 12 kWh battery.

To cut down price of petrol, please see below:
Plz read this….excellent idea to reduce PETROL PRICE by PRICE CONTROL – A brilliant idea.
Lets do it… why not try?…..
Plz read until the end and plz make a commitment for our benefit.
This is known as ‘price control’
It seems that price of petrol will keep increasing until RM3.00 by next year end. If you and everyone plays a part we can collectively force petrol price to come down.
Philip Hollsworth a brilliant economist came up with this idea. When compared to many other measures, ideas and campaigns, this idea works better, easier to enforce and manageable. On the previous campaign where we were supposed to boycott for a few days or a month petrol from a particular seller eg Caltex, Petron etc, this campaign did not suceed; but this new campaign has started and we are all going to force Petronas to revise its petrol price thru this boycott campaign.
Of course this petrol company is laughing at us but lets see who is going to have the last laugh. Previously we were supposed to cut down on travel to reduce petrol expense but this new campaign wil not burden us.
No matter what, this new campaign is already working and we need each of you to play a small part for long term benefit for is all.
Do you know according to market research and information from OPEC, the reasonable price of petrol in Malaysia should not go beyond 0.95 sen a litre? So why is it sold so much higher? Because we are being robbed. We are treated as suckers. The petrol producing Companies are profiteering so much. We as consumers have to and must teach them a lesson ‘ Never underestimate the power of the common man’. We must stop them from robbing us.
And therefore we have to pass this message to as many people as possible. We must stop buying petrol from a particular seller / company for a certain period and that company must be the biggest seller and market leader so that all other Companies will follow suit. That market leader will have no choice but must readjust its pricing to get back its customers.
The idea is this:
For the whole of this year until 31st December 2014, effective from today we are all going to boycott PETRONAS.
This giant is the one which is manipulating the petrol price. As long as there is no drastic action Petronas will continue to cheat us.
With our boycott of Petronas and as it losing customers they wil see that business starts increasing for the other Petrol Companies and Petronas will quickly start reducing price to attract back all its customers. And when this is done other companies will start reducing their prices as well. But for this to be effective and producing desired results we all must do our part.
Its easy to start this off. The idea is for each of you to forward this message to all your friends, contacts etc right now.
If each one of us forwards this to st least 10 people or more (30 x 10 = 300)
And if the next 300 forwards it will reach 3000 and so on. And by the time it reaches the 6th line, it will surely reach 3 million. Plz do ur math; it is simple but very effective.
Once again;
1) forward this to at least 10 people.
2) stop using Petronas immediately.
I challenge you; plz do not think we cannot be effective. We will win:
This campaign has started; play your part. Plz continue with your commitment. We have to continue
1. Forward this email to all your friends and contacts,
2. Buy your petrol from other companies but not Petronas.
Philip Hollsworth a brilliant economist, does not exist. Which says so much about this campaign.
He created DAT theory how powerful consumers r.use common sense bfr flipping yr fingers towards keyboard
There is no Philip Hollsworth, but there is a Philip Holdsworth. Are you referring to him?
No point boycotting Petronas as most crude oil going into the refinery of other petrol company still comes from Petronas.
It only makes sense to see which fuel has lower sulphur content with better additives, and let the people decide on it. However, no independent researcher is going to investigate and report this. Why don’t we kickstart and fund one?
