This is a Motormouth couple car review of the all-new 2023 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV, plug-in hybrid compact SUV. The new Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV has more power, a larger battery and improved range compared to the outgoing model. It has a 2.4-litre 4-cylinder Atkinson Cycle gas engine with a twin motor PHEV system. The twin-motor AWD powertrain consists of a gasoline engine and front electric motor driving the front wheels and a standalone rear-mounted motor driving the rear axle.It has a combined 248 horsepower and 332 lb-ft of torque. It has a 20-kWh battery, gets 61 km/38 miles of EV range and allows for up to 687 km/420 miles of combined electric-gas range on a single charge and a tank of fuel. There are plenty of drive modes to choose from, Normal, Eco or Power and four traction options, Tarmac, Gravel, Snow and Mud. There are four powertrain settings, Normal which is hybrid mode, EV, pure electric driving, Save, keep your range for later and Charge, use the gas engine to charge the battery. There is also a one pedal drive button, you will still have to brake, the vehicle doesn’t come to a complete stop. The Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV gets a combined 3.6Le/100 km, 64 MPGe. With the battery depleted, a combined 9L/100 km, 26 MPG. That’s 9.2L/100 km, 25 MPG city and 8.7L/100 km, 27 MPG highway. The Mitsuibishi Outlander comes with a 3.3 kWh onboard charger. With a Level 1 charger, it will charge from 0-100% in 16 hours, Level 2, 0-100% in 6 ½ hours and with a DC Fast Charger, 38 minutes to charge up to 80%. The new Outlander PHEV is the only non-luxury plug-in hybrid to offer fast charging. In Canada, the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV starts at $46,538 CAD, LE $51,238 CAD, SEL $54,048 CAD, GT $56,348 CAD and our GT Premium test model is $57,048 CAD.

I own a Outlander phev for 8years, no battery replacement yet 💪.
Quality car. 👍
This is a compelling offering. It is not missing much. Maybe next year they’ll have ventilated seats. I love how Motormouth hosts provide their own individual opinions; review vehicles from an experience perspective; and provide every detail and more, that you would want to know.
I test drove one on Saturday and I fell in love. I could not believe how quiet it is and there are so many features to try and learn. It is really going to take some getting use to, but I LOVE it!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I'm so in love with this thing, as always great review Motormouth.
Thank you, really glad you enjoyed the review, we are really impressed with it.
nice job Mitsubishi!!!! we bought 2 of these and LOVE them!!! 20,000 miles and NO issues....bravo
Hey guys, was originally dead set on the Sportage Plugin…saw this, went and test drove it. Long story short there’s a 40th Anniversary edition in my driveway.
Fantastic reviews, never stop 🤙🏾
Are you still happy with it?
Extremely
Great review. Always follow your reviews. I ended up buying the SEL model in Red. Love it.
Picked ours up yesterday. Lots of fun and lots to learn
Hi. Can you tell me the experience in your car. What is the number of kms when in ECO EV mode until the car forces to hybrid due to low battery? And the kind of driving you were doing.Also, how many l/100kms when driving in SAVE hybrid mode on the highway? Thanks for your answers in advance.
It took a little time for me to get used to it’s futuristic look. But I have come around. I finally think that this has become a great looking SUV. It is definitely has a unique look, especially when compared to the rest of the market. You’d be crazy not to check this new Mitsubishi out… if PHEV’s are your thing. Thanks for the video.
Couldn't agree more!
Excellent Review, as always!!! Thank you for explaining how preconditioning works while the vehicle is still plugged into the grid (Our local dealer sale guy didn't know that answer, not to mention the meaning of "preconditioning the cabin":)! The real-world hybrid mode consumption under official numbers makes more sense in a combined driving cycle.
Thank you very much, really glad you enjoyed it!
I’ve been waiting for this review for a year. Hahaha. Awesome, I agree Andrea, front vented seats would have been icing on the cake. But still a great vehicle.
Awesome, glad you enjoyed it!
I’m headed to the local Mitsubishi dealer as we speak. Such a beautiful vehicle, thanks Motormouth for another amazing review.
Really? 7am on a Monday?
@@clearcut6818 maybe it takes him two hours to get there lol
@@clearcut6818 no, not literally. just a saying - although I do have an appointment with my local dealer next week.
@First Last Outside of Alberta, the markups have been minimal, if any.
@First Last Where are you located?
First time I've watched your video.
Very detailed.
I ordered toyota sieanna in January 2022. But no updates yet.
I would have outlander phev now
Wow, one of the best vehicle review ever. Great details and very clear information. great work.
Much appreciated!
Great review as always! As a fan of PHEV and currently driving a a Sorento PHEV here in the US, I am intrigued by this redesigned PHEV from Mitsubishi. The presence of heat pump, massage seats, rear wheel biased and the capacity to seat 7 people of this car could have prompted me to trade in my Sorento if the US federal tax credits still exist.
We bought a 2023 Outlander phev in mid April. So far we have been receiving on battery alone between 75 and 98 km per charge and when the engine is running in hybrid mode we are getting 1.8 L to 100 km that is after the battery is completely discharged and the remaining 20% is left in the battery for hybrid use. On the highway driving in normal mode which is hybrid with one pedal driving we are averaging between 5.5 and 6.0 L to 100 km that is driving between 90 km an hour and 100 km an hour.
Are you still happy with your PHEV after probably 2 months? I'm going to get mine soon.
Definitely. I highly recommend getting the GT premium if you are in Canada or the top of the line if you're in the United States. Simply because of the leather interior and all the bells and whistles are included in the in the car.. the third row is for mostly children it is possible to have an adult same back there but I would recommend it only for children so it gives it does give you a true five passenger 5 adult and two children. My experience of the car is been ideal I'm getting exactly what I said before in both hybrid mode as well as in battery the battery level changes when you charge the car based upon the previous use so if you go easy on the accelerator then the battery charge shows more battery if you're harder on the accelerator the better it charged shows less battery after fully charging it's strange but that's the way it is. For the using the air conditioning heat pump you have noticed that when the battery is fully charged and you press either air conditioning or fan for heat the battery level of the car drops about 6 kilowatt hours it doesn't register on the gauge but it does register in the numbers on the dashboard. I found however that those numbers disappear and you regain them through regenerative braking over the time of the life of the battery charge so you really don't lose any kilowatt hours it just shows an initial drain and that drain is supposed to show over the entire range of the battery charge. The manual is like the Quran or a Bible it's very thick full of lots of information and I highly recommend you spend a whole evening or two or three reading every single page of the manual cover to cover before trying to figure out all of the different actions. On the steering wheel the right hand side has a little colored Circle device that's operates all of your cameras I use that all the time my procedure everyday and using the car is this our first of all started up and then I turned the dial on the console to eco then I press EV mode and then I press one pedal driving mode and then I press the colored circle on the right hand side of the steering wheel not activates everything in the car.. I use the cruise control in the city when I'm driving on a street that has traffic and I can follow at a distance the car keeps me at the distance it's a little slow on acceleration from stop but that's quite all right I can step on the accelerator to speed that up slightly but otherwise I'm very happy with it. The ride is rather firm because of the 20 inch wheels and the low aspect ratio but you get used to that over time and if you're driving on streets that are relatively smooth I don't even comes it won't even come into play. The lack of a spare tire is not really an issue they give you a tire sealant so if there is a flat tire and you call AAA or CAA in Canada they will try to find the place where the nail or the screw went in pull that out and then inflate the tire using the canister of sealant no real need for a spare tire. Be very careful with low aspect ratio tires do not hit a curb with them as they will cause internal damage to the tire and you will lose air pressure and they'll have to be replaced so I highly recommend being careful with hitting curves or coming I'm talking about hitting curves out of 90° angle or driving over driving over a curve at a very slow speed for parking and that kind of thing is not an issue but hitting a curb at at a speed of possibly can 15 km an hour or more is definitely going to damage hello aspect ratio Tire like the ones in the Outlander GT premium or high-end us vehicle. So long and short of it is I would definitely buy the vehicle again I love the car it's wonderful it's it's very fast and it's Graphics it gives you all the information that you need and want all the safety features are there for you. Cheers
As a footnote. I apologize for some of the errors I dictated this and I did not go back and read it prior to sending it as a reply my apologies but you can figure out the the information even through the few mistakes that I made again my apologies if you have any further questions just ask and I'll be glad to answer for you cuz I really like the car and I would buy it again thanks
Ok, my question is this: I drive about 30 to 40 kilometers everyday for work. Is it possible that I can be using the EV mode without buying gas for my daily driving needs which usually does not exceed 50 kilometers per day? Please let me know. If yes, then I'm going to get this car right away. Thanks a lot for the beautiful reviews. I don't know how to say thank you to you guys, but I make sure to watch all the advertising videos to support you guys. Please answer my question. Thank you.
Hello Mr Williams. You can definitely get in excessive 50 km on a charge with this car. I have never received less than 75 and as much as 104 putting 8000 km on the car since I purchased it. It's the best car I've ever owned. I use eco mode EV and one pedal driving mode as well as the advanced cruise control option almost all the time. This particular option does give you full stop and allows you to resume to your previously set cruise control setting following the car ahead of you from a stop. It's a little bit slower than normal acceleration using the advanced cruise control to resume but I find that it really helps save the battery because you're not putting a lot of Demand on moving this heavy car up to speed and taking another second or two to follow the car ahead of you. The car is quiet, smooth on the highway, has a firm ride has a fabulous stereo system and all the bells and whistles you can think of. Even when your battery is depleted which is down to about 20% which is hidden from your gauge the car will still operate on EV mode as you're driving but the engine will start up to give the electric power some assistance so that it never goes below the 20% Which is what can damage the battery by putting more demand stress on it at a lower charge. Even when running out of battery according to the gauge you have 20% of the battery left. You can even charge the battery at idle if you don't have your charging cable with you and it will take 90 minutes to charge up to 80%, and consume approximately 2 L of fuel to do so. Also, on the highway you can select charge and it will also charge the battery as you drive. I recommend not driving over 80 km an hour on electric motor has that does consume the battery a little faster at that point. what I do when I'm approaching 80 km an hour I switch it over to normal mode and leave it on EV and one pedal driving with Advanced cruise control with sabe option and the car will use the engine to assist in charging of the battery and giving you better range. So on highway speeds under a hundred kilometers an hour I would put it into normal mode and save mode as well as EV one pedal driving and that way with the advanced cruise control you get the best for the economy and Battery range out of your car. In 8,000 km of driving since I've owned the car I have used 19.5 KW per 100 km of electricity 1.1 l of fuel per 100 km and all the rest has been battery driving. The other big plus about this car is that it has a heat pump to provide Heating and Cooling which is very efficient as many of the other manufacturers still require the engine to run to provide Heating and Cooling to the passenger compartment . Not the Outlander phev. I highly recommend this car and you can always ask another question of me on this website and I'll answer it to my best of my ability. It costs me about $35 a month on electricity at 12 cents per kilowatt hour to charge the car on a daily basis. No it's costing me about $35 a month to drive when with my previous car it was costing me $400 a month on gasoline. Quite a savings. Mitsubishi says that the warranty for battery replacement would be if the battery degrades too 65%. Quite frankly if a person treats their battery properly and doesn't over stress it you should get well in excess of the battery warranty. With the gradation of no more than about 85%. If you have any other questions please don't hesitate to contact me via this website for reply thanks cheers
Great review. I got mine today and already love it! Still getting used to all the features😂 there are alot of them😅
Great team, great work, I do enjoy your reviews.
Thank you very much!
Good job Mits! good Job. Glad to see they got a good product that truly competes.
They certainly did, it's such a great PHEV option.
I own the 2018 first gen and I am in love with it, best vehicle I've ever owned, I think my only upgrade would be to this model
Great review! Thanks guys
Thanks for watching!
Nice review. I'm heading to the dealer for hopefully a test drive if available.
'I really love you guysEvery time you make car review it's perfect and encouraging.
This looks a hefty yet ultra cool looking electrified car Andrea. Comes packed with extras and super exteria and interia styling!
We are really impressed with this one!
I give Mitsubishi a 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻! That’s awesome motoring system. Great video Andrea! Love seeing the trees cover with snow. It’s gorgeous! 👍🏻👍🏻
Yes, I agree, Mitsubishi has done such a great job on this plug-in hybrid. We have definitely had more snow than expected this year but it sure is pretty and the Outlander is very capable in conditions like this.
@@andreaspencer9813 That’s good!
I love that the comparison comes up against the rav4 . A vehicle that has a 2-3 year wait, 5 passenger unit as opposed to a 3-12 month wait, 7 passenger and larger warranty ;)
You are going to sell many of the Andreas. Keep pumping out your videos! Nice work. Also, what is the origin of salesman with a sleeve? Thanks from Ontario
@@jamesbertrand8056 Haha Thank you! Its a fun car, so it's really easy to do content on. The origin for the tagline is that back in 2016 when I first started Selling for Mitsubishi Canada, I had to separate myself from the rest of the sales consultants so when I told a client to look for the "consultant with tattoo's" - it evolved to "The Salesman with a Sleeve .. In the summer I don't mind rocking golf shirts, but I really enjoy wearing suits, and the name "Salesman with a sleeve" just stuck.
@Andreas Loerchner where do you sell?
GTA?
If I book this in this month then how soon can I get the delivery?
Any email or contact details will help to buy through you if you are in GTA
@@akhere07 I'm in Beautiful Kelowna, BC - I don't know anyone in GTA that I could recommend though :( - Just head office ;)
@@Salesmanwithasleeve @bibin1716 when you preheat or cool your cabinet before driving is the car using power from the charger to precondition the cabinet as per their claim or is it taking power from the battery? Please let me know
This the best car out there. I own the gasoline version and I love every bit of it
That’s the perfect spot. You get the power and smoothness of EVs with the convenience of using gas stations. Definitely is in my radar.
Thanks for your videos! They really helped me make a well-informed decision. I just took delivery of my 2023 Outlander PHEV GT-Premium in Titanium Grey! LOVE THE CAR SO MUCH!!
Wow, congratulations, enjoy it, you have a great vehicle.
Congrats Chris! What dealer?
@@teddybear894 Oakville Mitsubishi!
@@teddybear894 and thank you!!
What do you think of the massaging seats? Worth the extra money over the GT?
Love the review. this is a great SUV and my wife loves it. You said last night on the show you will be doing some travelling and please travel safe. Have a great family Christmas and relax eat and drink. Look forward to the Sunday night show in the new year. Merry Christmas and a happy new year.
Thank you so much, all the best to you and your family this holiday season. We are traveling over the next few weeks to San Diego and Las Vegas.
I like the look! Has hints of Range Rover in the exterior design. Excellent review!
We have the 2019-20 model. Use it for school run and shopping to town and back. Approx 30kms. We refueled a month back and are up to 1,800km’s and not used half the tank.
awesome review...MERRY CHRISTMAS GUYS AND HAVE A HAPPY NEW YEARS.....CHEERS from Alberta
Thank you very much, really glad you enjoyed the review. Merry Christmas to you as well, all the best over the holiday season. Thanks for the support!
Great info, thanks!
hi Guys great video as always, one question overall which one is better outlander phev GT or lexus nx 450 h+
Two most on point reviewers
Thank you very much!
Outlander was a serious family contender for us. We ended up taking cx50 just because of the front look on the outlander.
Great job 👏
Thank you!
Hi there, thanks for making this video. It was very useful. I just got a question as based on some issue that I found it from online from some customer. While driving on high speed does the hood of the car shakes or vibrates?
I test drove SEL trim and I must say it handles pretty good with very nice features. Few things I did not love is slow level 2 charger, depleted battery range and few other small things. Feature wise the top trim looks very close to my Lexus NX 450h.
In fact if I did not have my NX, I would go for this Outlander.
The only thing is not clear to me, you were saying HV mode gives around 6.5l/100km. At the same time official number with depleted battery is 9l/100km. Isn’t it the car is switching to HV mode after EV battery is depleted? In my NX once I run out of EV mode battery range the vehicle is switching to HV mode with about 30% battery charge remaining. The car does not let you use the bottom 30% battery for pure EV.
PS. One pedal driving was also in Chevy Volt when shifted into L. I have used it in heavy traffic. Of course Chevy Volt is not produced anymore.
Lack of V6 version is a deal breaker for me.
Wow. I’m sold.
It is such a great plug-in hybrid!
Ok excellent! it’s not just me😂 It truly drives like an EV, so quiet, and smooth! I loved it, and was surprised by the handling, comfort and performance feel. It’s comforting to hear the “A Team’s” impressions supporting my own!
Initially, I had to fight a few internal demons with the front end styling, but like Zach, it has grown on me to the point that I now really like overall design period! In the line up for a few months now for a GT or GT-P. Bring it on Mitsubishi Canada. 🇨🇦🇯🇵I’ll take a White Diamond with Light Grey please!
Thank you for your efforts and best to you both and your family for the Holidays🎄
Happy holidays to you as well, all the best!
I am just turning over 10000km on my non PHEV Outlander, and I love the thing! My RDX was stolen, but it had had so many return visits to the dealer in the first 6000km I was glad to see it gone. Everything you has said about the comfort, drive is true. I feel like I’m driving a premium German SUV. I’m sure the PHEV is even nicer with the added thrust. Also, my LE Premium trim has so many features it’s nuts. I drove ALL the competition, and there is no comparison. Great job Mitsubishi!
What sort of issues were you seeing with the RDX? I'm interested because I'm considering it. Thanks.
@@jsfbay1 Upon delivery the sunroof motor was making terrible noise, replaced. About 2 months later I noticed water coming through the overhead console. Seal replaced. The windshield cracked while I was in my driveway sitting in it with the windshield defroster on. Canada… the apple car play drove me nuts. Regularly would not connect, I was told this is normal.. the driver aids- would not work if there was the slightest amount of dirt on the sensor/eye beam.
But most annoying was the fuel mileage, I was driving like a senior citizen to try to squeeze out decent range. I am getting better mileage driving my C8 corvette than the RDX. BTW the Mitsubishi is not fast, but great in every other way. Very different animal, but I love it.
The Mitsubishi was 10k less and has many, many more features. I have the LE Premium.
Thank you for sharing. What about the reliability of these cars, Mitsubishi doesn't have that good of a rep.
Good follow up, I’m at 23000 Km now and absolutely no issues or hiccups. It has been perfect! I love this thing! ( I hated the RDX) BTW the warranty is very comprehensive and long, but so far I don’t expect to use it.@@Mark1Mach2
Looks fantastic! it`s a pity Mitsubishi have pulled out of the UK! I would have definitely have ordered one 😥😥😥
Having owned a Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV for about eight years and having just had a third battery installed, I can tell you that in my experience the battery in these cars will drop below 80% capacity in about 3.6 years. If your get a replacement on waranty, well and good, but the replacement cost of my latest battery was, I informed, A$12,000. Although these SUVs are great cars in many ways, I wouldn't buy another until the battery technology has been improved to not drop below 80% within ten years. That will not happen with lithium ion technology.
Wait I just assumed that these would use liFePo4 batteries that can be charged daily and not degrade for 10 years.
But by definition you were driving an older battery.
I own a Outlander phev for 8years, no battery replacement yet 💪.
Quality car. 👍
This isn’t the same battery in your 8yr old car. Lots of improvements and advances since then.
Lies
Getting mine delivered this week or next. Quebec so about $10000 in rebates. This video helped really make the choice.
Rebate for PHEV? Really?
@@akhere07 yeah. $5000 from Canada and $5000 from Quebec. A full EV like a Leaf qualifies for an extra $2000 from Quebec for a total of $12000. An Escape PHEV only qualifies for a total of $7500 (probably because the battery is smaller)
How's your PHEV? Are you happy with it?
I got my ES model last Monday and this Monday I did a round trip between Montreal and Quebec City (eco mode,640km, 0 degree, cruising at 105km/h). Ev range was about 66km, dc fast charged to 60% then drive in SAVE model. The fuel economy I got in save model was around 8L/100km.
Thanks for sharing this information!
Est ce que vous pouvez recharger la batterie sur le 110 volts et si oui ça prends combien de temps ? Aussi est ce que la suspension est molle pour avoir un roulement doux sur la route. Merci
@@pierremartineau2834 110v charging is very slow, which takes about 16 hrs from 0 to 100%. But it won't matter if you charge every night at home, an overnight charge will give you enough range for your next day. The suspension is okay, i wouldn't call it soft, but it is very comfortable on the road.
@@SG-ul3fw ok thanks
Man I've got questions for you, I put a deposit down a few weeks ago on an ES 😂😂With the temperature dropping recently did you have any issues keeping it in ev mode / range loss and can you preheat while charging so you dont need to turn on the ICE when you start your drive on the Es trim?
I love everything about this car! Little story happened to me yesterday, my family went out to dinner with my brother family and my brother asked me if i can take one of his kid with me in my car, i have a 2018 rogue with 2 car seats and couldn't fit any of my brother kid. Even if the 3rd row in the Mitsu outlander is not for all ages, size, having the outlander and the 3rd row option i would have been able to help by taking 2 kids with me. I think a lot of people see black or white only and not all the possibilities. Well done Mitsubishi!
So you will but a car for to take a couple extra kids every year or 2?
@@travis8665 i would not buy a car for that, but in comparison to my rogue for the same price range, its just a handy bonus.
@@saiya25 But remember, at the cost of 3rd row seating, we are losing the spare wheel. Which means lot of trouble when tire goes flat...
You guys have swayed me.
Great review. You guys are the best . Unfortunately I am not a fan of this design especially the front. All the best to those who like this style of Suv.
Thank you, really glad you enjoyed the review. You are right, the styling isn't going to be for everyone, but it sure handles well.
Hi folks, I really enjoy your channel, but forgive me for pointing out 3 things re: the Mitsu PHEV that I recently learned,
First, it has a 1 speed tranny, which compromises the hybrid only combined mpg (only 26, 10 less than the Rev Prime PHEV)
Second, although fairly seamless, it constantly switches back and forth between electric only, ice to drivetrain, and ice as
generator. and third, when using region braking, the brake pedal depresses on it own, which can be disconcerting.
Living in the deep south vented seats are a must. Don't see anywhere on Mitsubishi's website where you can add that feature. I'd give up the massage seats for venting.
Thank you for posting this video I a.m. interested in his car. What caught my ear was that you mention it gets 35 miles per gal l in hybrid only mode-so is sounds like it is quite a bit better than the stated 27 miles/gallon -so 35 miles/gallon after the battery dies correct?
-
I regularly get 90 km from a charge driving 50/50 urban/highway, have used 25l of fuel after 2600 km ,I only use recharge when going up hill,get 10 km charge going down hill,I charge at home at around 3$ a charge, which won't be an issue, when I get solar battery back up.
for those in much colder climates who usually need a block heater for their ICE engine - does plugging this in keep the ICE engine warm, or do you need an additional block heater for that? thanks!
Love your reviews! Currently have a deposit on the sportage phev ex premium in Ontario, but now I'm torn . Do you think the base trim ES Outlander phev is a better vehicle for the money? Thank you!
I think they are both really good options but I like that the Outlander is compatible with a DC fast charger and the range is better than the Sportage PHEV as well. However, I am a big fan of the Sportage plug-in hybrid.
It's my favorite PHEV as well! This beats the RAV4 PRIME and the Kia Sorento PHEV, as well as the Hyundai Santa FE PHEV for me.
Mitsubishi has done such a great job with this.
Same here. I got rid of the faulty Santa Fe PHEV and switched to this. Can't wait to try it out when my ordered one arrives in late January.
@@dklyt2358 What sort of issues were you having with the Santa Fe PHEV? That *was* on my list, but maybe not!
Hey OL, why no homelink mirror opener or over-air software updates?
Tire Repair Kit - Does it have an extra tyre or we have to fix the tyre with a repair kit?
Hi there! Thanks for that great review as usual. What about the transmission, CVT I Guess? Is this the same CVT as the current Nissan Rogue? I know they share a lot of parts.
The Outlander PHEV doesn't have a CVT like the gas model Outlander and Rogue. It has a 1-speed transmission, since electric motors can turn fast there is no need for a conventional transmission or CVT. The gasoline engine only engages to the front wheel when the vehicle is at the right speed range approximately 130 km/h.
@@andreaspencer9813 Many thanks Andrea, well, that's a different power train for sure. The Outlander PHEV is now on my short list ;)
@@stephanepilon7751 Definitely check it out, I think you will really like it
I like it!
Mitsubishi did a great job, we highly recommend it.
@@andreaspencer9813 I appreciate the good advice Andrea :)
This is made in Japan and uses a reliable, non-turbo 2.4L 4 cylinder instead of the Rogue's new, complicated, and untested 3 cylinder. This might be a good choice over a RAV4 or CRV.
Wow this MITSU looks more luxurious than any Infinity especially has better interior than the QX50/QX55 combined
What's reliability on Mitsubishi cars and howz customer service? Is there captain seat option for 2nd row?
The Korean vehicles are also skimping on Engine size to reduce weight but charge the same or more. I looked at this vehicle when I recently switched my vehicle but couldn't digest the "futuristic" looks, but otherwise felt it's loaded with tons of features. LOL! I personally think Rav4 is the best of the bunch overall. Kia looks good for couple of days but feels boring really fast.
Seems like a great option,I just wish info center wasn't so intrusive. I would of liked it to be more luxurious look to it like the Mercedes-Benz EV. But overall all nice option.
Wow! Great review! Love this vehicle other than the front end. I wish they could clean it up a bit but I guess it's a personal opinion. But my big question is - what's with the 8 ft pile of leaves on the road!!!! How does that happen!! Lol
Thank you, glad you enjoyed the review, thanks for watching. I know, who rakes and just leaves them on the road???
@@andreaspencer9813 Thanks for the response. I assume Mitsubishi have a very small market share in North America. Do you ever see them taking the same route that Suzuki did in 2013? That is announcing out of the blue that they are pulling up stakes and abandoning the NA market. I hope it never happens but with small numbers, I guess it could happen. Look at Suzuki.
@@ronripley9197 Mitsubishi does really well in Canada, not as well in the US.
How are the maintenance costs / parts availability of Mitsubishi in Canada?
At the price point including the the provincial & federal GV rebates, this is a valid bargain. One little thing setting this apart are the peasant blockers in the top trim vehicle used in the review coupled with the quilted leatherette upholstery puts it right along premium brands, without the insurance of those premium brands.
Another request, please include average yearly maintenance costs (atleast for consumables minus the labour) on this PHEV.
I’ve got the top of the range petrol Outlander which I love. I love the idea of the PHEV but I average 7.2 km per 100 now. I don’t get how the electric version would average 6.2!? Especially if you plug it in overnight.
Add in the price premium and eventual battery replacement at say 10 years, it doesn’t make financial sense to me.
Wanna buy for ubber taxi use. What is your suggestion if i use this suv for taxi purpose.
Hello Andrea! Thanks for doing this review. Me and my husband are still thinking about to get the new outlander PHEV. Comparing to the RAV4 Prime once the battery is depleted is the only disappointing feature of the outlander. While the outlander does 26 mpg, the RAV4 does an impressive 38 mpg as hybrid mode. Does this means that the outlander does not work as hybrid once the battery is depleted?? It seems that only works as a regular gas car. What do you think Andrea??? Thanks again
Hi there, we were getting much better fuel economy than the EPA numbers for the Outlander PHEV. Ours were 6.6L/100km, 35.6 MPG which is great. Others have reported as low as 6.2L/100 km, 38 MPG when the battery is depleted.
Recently found out the 9L/100 or 26 mpg rating is while running charge mode where it regens the drive battery
Do you know if homelink is available?
Do you guys in Canada always pile your leaves in the road?
Hello, I own 2022 gas model and want to switch on the phev 2023. Is it worth it? I am really looking forward to your answers. What do you recommend?
I’m waiting for the seven seats since 2018. When they released the first one.
The 12.3 inch instrument cluster looks identical to the QX60 so does the button on the seat base.
Will auto manufacturers continue supporting vehicles with this technology post 2035? Seem like hybrids and PHEVs are on borrowed time with the ban on gasoline and diesel powered cars not so far away.
That said, this appears to be a good transition to electrification and Mitsubishi has a good product with this.
I would love to hear from you about Mi-Pilot! No one reviewing it do so😢
There are many videos online about Mi-Pilot.
Nice
Thank you so much, Just One thing I want to ask you, On a long drive how it works?, I want high power, LIKE, 240 HP, can I keep both ICE and Bettery both ON and can have best of both world? as you mentioned its ICE gives power to bettery so in that case it can, I guess, CAN CLEAR MY DOUBTS PLEASE? THANKS, I appricite both of you for sharing your knowledeg to the community ....
The engines main purpose is to power the front and rear electric motors when the charge on the 20kwh battery is depleted. The power mode will give you some extra power to the wheels via a single speed gear along with the electric motors both in operation giving you some extra acceleration when you need it.
My question is who leaves a huge pile of leaves on the street you had to drive around :) Also I like the styling and think the hybrid is the best option right now over pure EV.
We couldn't believe it when we saw it. I guess the city cleaned them up but didn't pick them up.
That stood out to me too. Big road hazard.
In the Fall the city picks up leaves free of charge (3 times usually) from property owners. All owners need do is take the leaves of the property to the grass verge next to the curb or tightly against the curb for vacuum pick up. The video shot is a property owner being careless.
Great wagon, although frustrating that there is no control to manually turn the engine back to EV after its switched to (wheel-driving) gas motor. Clicking the EV button, even with no pressure on accelerator, does not switch it back to EV. Also, hows progress on increasing the EV mileage. Still at just 60km which burns out fast.
Hi Andrea and Zack, following your review of the Outlander PHEV, i found it strange that when the battery is depleated you only get 9L/100km on hybrid mode. Did i miss something. Also what is the reliability of that vehicule on a 10 years basis. Thanks and keep the good work.
Pierre
I also find it strange that the fuel consumption is 9L/100km on hybrid mode. I would think 9L/100km would be on the gas ONLY (with 0 battery or in SAVE/CHARGE mode). If it's really 9L/100km on hybrid mode, that mean the PHEV is has efficient has the gas model? We know that the PHEV is 405 kg heavier than the gas model. 🤔
That figure is for charge mode
@@skylerfrankum7717and for charge mode in highway. City charge is 8l/100km(of course nobody should charge in city)
I have the '21, installed a high speed charger, I plug it in as soon as I'm parked at home, now that the temperatures are rising I drove 684 miles on 7.2 gals (91 mpg). Love the car, rides great.
BTW.. I always thought mitsubishi as related to some thing electronic things..
How come reliability of car and engine in comparison to other know car manufacturers?
Dealer in Edmonton had marked up the GT model by 20k, and was up by $15k after the fed gov rebate, a simple calculation of savings will be able to clarify that no one will ever be able to recover the premium paid. As usual people are being gouged to go green, not really a green solution.
What's the 0-60mph in this? 7seconds? How is the cvt? Drownie?
I’m not liking this trend of odd looking massive lights in front that other brands are doing too. I just like trends that evolve yet stay iconic.
Just got a new 2023 rogue, can you do a review? Great video as always
We did a review on the 2022 model with the new powertrain, here's the link ua-cam.com/video/SUUfevfGU24/v-deo.html
Serious question, need answer: how many children carseats can fit? How many of the seat have anchors for carseats?
E-power with plug in 👏🏻
Good review. I did this vehicle so ugly! But otherwise, great job on the rest.
This is on my list to purchase, but not with the current interest rates.
Still wired android auto at all trim levels? That's a no go for me and I was really interested in this car
Some of your info is out of date. The diagram showed the old motor powers. The clearance is now 8.3"
Why only 1500lb of towing? All the other PHEV's I'm looking at can do 2000lb+. If I didn't want the option to do a little towing I'd happily just get an EV. Disappointing as I've been hanging on for the release of the Outlander PHEV. Back to looking at my other options for now.
9:50 how much did the bee upgrade cost?
One of the reasons Renault/Nissan alliance's purchase of Mitsubishi is because of their PHEV technology, the other is they are hugely successful in 3rd world market on affordable small cars.
Your 100% right!
How is the Adaptive Cruise control, LKA and MI-Pilot on the whole?
I drove Toyota vechiles and they are very good in ACC and LKA.
Pretty good. Bettet than Toyota and Honda.
