Is this just a prototype, or is it actually available somewhere? Because it looks way better than what they're actually selling.

Looks like that's the "Concept-S" version of the Outlander PHEV showcased in Paris in 2014: https://www.mitsubishi-motors.com/en...concept_s.html

The Outlander PHEV Concept-S design never did make it to final/production, but a great deal of design cues from it did end up in the Eclipse Cross.

 

Can't see major differences that you are seeing from the US model. The fogs are LED and subtle grill difference, but that's it. Maybe you are more visually keen than me.

 

I see some big differences that just look better to me: It has that segmented headlight design common to VW, the turn signals are integrated into the grill, there appears to be a little less chrome, and the whole hood curves inward toward the front, leaving a dip over the fenders. Maybe they'll use it for the next design update.
