The Mitsubishi Outlander Plug-In Hybrid has been on sale in Japan and Europe for months now, but its US launch has been delayed repeatedly. Indeed it has taken so long that the model has actually undergone a mid-cycle refresh during the time it has taken Mitsubishi to schedule the car for US distribution. Now a report in Automotive News confirms that the Outlander Plug-In Hybrid won't appear in American showrooms until May, well after the launch of a spate of other plug-in SUVs from luxury carmakers such as XC90, Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class, Volvo the BMW X5, and possibly the Audi Q7 as well.
