"Not bad" fuel economy? Name another SUV this size under 35k that does this well in town and has a charge option. There are tons of people averaging over 70mpg over long durations. It's just not a highway cruiser. If you have a brain and you understand how to charge, its exceptional fuel economy.
I love my 2014 Mitsi PHEV, but it runs on Bf K2 AT's Tyres for better ride, handling and traction. When In tricky traction situations towing 3000lb trailer I always use the charge mode so the IC engine is running before losing traction, This enables AWD system to apply greater torque and traction than just using it in EV mode. The PHEV will go anywhere our 2011 3.7 Jeep Wrangler will go while towing, If you keep the battery charged a least 50% full, Fuel economy is years ahead of the JEEP!!!
At Montreal EV show Mitsubishi confirmed that NA will Not get the new version as announced at Geneva for the European market. The 2019 Model in NA will have the sane spec as 2018.
Hello, First of all, amazing channel with excellent detailed videos! I am seeking to buy this Outlander PEHV 2018 , BUT I don't have this facility to recharge the battery here in Toronto, I live in a condo. You said in this video, its around 3 gas liters to drive for 100 km in the hybrid mode. I thought pretty impressive, I would like to confirm this information. I will use this car in the hybrid mode at all the time, where hardly I will get recharge battery using the plugin cable. How can I expect my average fuel consumption for city and highway? Thank you so much for the help! Amauri
Hello Zia! Firstly, thanks a lot for your attention, is being so important to myself make this decision. I am not sure at all if I will can wait for the new 2.4 version LOL Thanks! Amauri
Please be advised that with depleted battery you will rarely see numbers smaller than 9 l/100km, especially in the city cycle. That is simple physics - you can not propel a ~2 tons car for less than that, no matter what hybrid technology you are using. To get all the benefits of this best in its class car (imho), you really need to have a socket in reach.
Great video, very informative indeed. Though id like to see how efficient this vehicle is, meaning how many miles can you get out of the electricity/ gas combination before a tank refill? And can you use the charge button while on Ev mode?
Lionnel L it gets 74 mpg rated so just multiply that by its tank space and that's pretty much what you're guaranteed to get if you're shitty at driving hybrids. if you keep it charged in ev mode you can get regular 250 mpg (according to the vehicle). in fact, this car has a mode where if the engine doesn't run in 6 months it will turn itself on and burn out half its tank so the gas doesn't get stale.
So, it's a _crossover...._ It is a shame though, I was having high hopes for it's dual motor ability, and even if they're both 80 bhp (not exactly both at the same time) they're clearly not sized to slugging 2 tonnes out of sand and other obstacles from a standstill. The motors in these are the same units in the i-MiEV, which can be held in your hands excluding the gear reduction box. The city-designed rotors are simply not long enough for the torque needed, even if the KWs was boosted and the motors paired.
toyotaprius79 the motors utilized in the vehicle are NOT the same as i-miev. Easiest way to tell is that i-miev is 100% electric, but this is a hybrid. The rear isnt either, considering the motor outputs a different KW than i-miev.
94eh3 I'm talking about physical size. In that regard, the motors used in Mitsubishis they're the same. These aren't engined. For electric motors they do is put out more amps through it via the inverter. But it's the physical shape of the rotor (and whether it's permanent magnet or AC syncranous) is what really defines it's characteristic. Torque, speed, efficiency, heat generation. They're all effected. In this case, the small motors, even at full throttle with engine generation still stall because of their short length. They need that 3 or 5 mph like they do in snow to really be effective.
love phev, specially the plug in, charge overnight at my garage, and seems reliable car (base on carcomplain.com), will wait for 2019 ver. good video :-)
Towing capacity 1500 lbs? Don't you mean kg, otherwise you're much worse off than the Europeans? Also, 2.0 liter engine with torque rated at 127... 127 what? Nm? ft.lbs?

The motors are 60kw not kwh

Excellent info bro.
battery too small!
Not for a lot of people. A full charge lasts me 2 days. 1210 Kms cost me $47 in gas and $5 in electricity. I average 100Mpg.
