- Опубліковано 18 тра 2016
- The Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV is a plug-in hybrid electric version of the rugged Outlander SUV. It combines a 2.0-litre petrol engine with an electric motor, and is one of the most popular hybrid vehicles currently on sale in the UK.
It comes with five seats and a spacious interior, and is eligible for a £2,500 plug-in hybrid and electric car grant from the UK Government. It's also exempt from road tax and the London Congestion Charge. Watch our video review to see if it's a worthy alternative to traditional diesel off-roaders.

Its totally ok, that this kind of vehicle dont get good gas mileage, when the petrol engine comes on. The whole point is, that most people can cover maybe 80-90% of their driving with the electric motor only. So the gas engine is solely there, so you dont have to also buy another vehicle for those occational long trips. Or worry about running out of electricity on your shorter trips. This review is pretty fair overall. But more often than not motoring journalists completely miss the point of electric propulsion, because THEIR job is to drive around in a car all day to test it. But thats not how 99% of car buyers use their vehicle. If you are not either a motoring journalist or a taxi driver, you use your car to go to a place like your work or the house of your friends. Then you park it there, while you do something else, and then you go back home again.
Could I ask you would it be a good buy for my wife who travels the motorway to and from work 50miles daily, wish I knew it's mpg when fully charged and how long it takes to charge ?
@@tomsmith3805 thks v Much for the reply we actually purchased a v low mileage 2017 volvo d4 XC60
I dont understand why some people call this guy annoying? stop insulting him!
The day that real car reviews do it from a customers perspective and not that of the manufacturer I will cheer! We want the truth not a pile of corporate BS.
After a long time hearing a good thing from mitsubishi.. Good work.
we have owned many Mitsubishi SUVS in USA - great car!
Nice review!
3.56 the back seat sitting area ! my outlander phev doesnt do that only the back rest is folding to front ... is there a knob or something which i have to pull ?
I see these driving around all the time, I think the facelift will only make it more popular!
What creates the most emissions is cold start round town driving so something like this would be brilliant.
nice to see the presenter explaining very clearly MPG of this vehicle in different type of situations. Not suitable for long motorway trips.
How would the PHEV perform on an A road and country lane driving?
I like it
it looks good
the problem with these plug in hybrids is that they never do the mpg they say, and 42gkm/CO2? my arse i've had one measured at 146gkm/CO2 . Also can car reviewers pls stop making diesel is the better fuel...it isn't, its dirty and causes cancer... also diesel is horrible to fuel up with.
+Blaze 125 (blaz3r125) The problem is the NEDC cycle which is far too optimistic. The same one that says the Kia Picanto 1.2 diesel or Citroen C3 Cactus diesel will get over 90 mpg...
The NEDC was only relevant when the average car did 0-60 mpg in 15 seconds (now it's 9 sec) which the test unrealistically operates below speed limits like a pensioner.
Plug in hybrids definitely represent the extreme of "your mileage may vary". There are owners who get well into 120 mpg as they charge their car every night like it was intended to be used for. Their are several owners on UA-cam who share what it's like to own a Nissan Leaf, Chevy Volt, Tesla Model S, BMW i3 and Outlander PHEV.
A few of them who drive them as company cars (+20,000 miles a year) who report getting over 80 mpg because they take advantage of the rapid chargers that are installed on every service & rest station on the UK's motorways.
+Blaze 125 (blaz3r125) It's hilarious how people willingly inhale tons of carcinogens to avoid a few grams per km of a completely harmless essential life gas and plant food. 50 years from now people will look back at us and laugh.
so, what is the MPG on the petrol engine only? for anyone doing a long drive its going to be petrol, so what's its MPG? also, you have to spend a shed load of cash to spec it anywhere near a rival diesel SUV
3:06 is that a 230 volt, 1500 Watt outlet at your right hand?
What about if y switch to petrol is he charging himself while driving or not?
mat brought the water bottle test. James brought the crisps and sweets test
Could you do an updated review of the Hyundai Santa fe please ? I need to see a review I can trust.
i always read PHEV as "fev" (said like fez, but with a v)
so do I😂😂
+Nick Wills I always read it as PHEW
Stuart Price yeah i could see that working
***** i already have...
This is a fake channel. The real Mat is at @carwow. He even spelled the name wrongly!!
You didn’t mention the artificially created engine noise! This car is not silent like expected. Is there a way to turn off that speaker?
why you don't make a review on Mitsubishi Lancer EX or evolution
I have the Outlander diesel. My advice is avoid all together as the build quality is terrible. After 6000 miles, the carpet is worn through and I was told that if I expected them to last longer then I should have bought mats. I have had cars a lot older with many more mile that looked newer. The door rattles and fuel economy is way off the book. The after sales service is non existent as I had a problem with the stop/start which had the warning light flashing, I was told that it did that when it was not being used. I explained that the manual said it was a fault and I was told that I was wrong. After three times of returning to the dealer, they finally admitted there was a fault.
Can you do a Mercedes-benz Cla shooting brake review?
isnt it so nice being able to charge your battery on the go? my only complaint is the headroom when u get the panaromic roof option if there is xD very nice review thank you
Hi, I'm coming from Mat Watson's video because nearly all the comments were about how boring this new guy is and I wanted to see him. Now that I saw him for a minute, I can go back to Mat's!
Why no US release?
Could you please mention the L/100km fuel consumption in future videos? This helps those of us on the mainland understand the statistics a bit better.
You’ll have mpg
In theory, the Outlander PHEV gets its 156 mpg figure since, what kind of test would it be if one of your tanks were empty?
If you're too lazy or too busy (a car reviewers are) to plug it in, then car reviews like these will never represent the true economy these cars deliver. Most owners of company cars, doing +20,000 miles per year would gladly tell that their 2000kg SUV on average does over 80 mpg. Because they charge it at home at the very least. More ordinary owners certainly achieve over 120 mpg.
Even if the reviewer had no real time to just live with the car - at least why didn't he demonstrate what it's like to charge at a rapid station? ~30 mpg is woeful, and only achievable when that poor, little 2.0l petrol has to work alone.
How much does this Mitsubishi cost in the UK ?
Can you review the new audi a7 3.0 tfsi please
Glad you told us there's a good place to store your crisps and it's great for trips to Pikiea....But how does it do off road ????
😅
Can you control the AC with the mobile app?
Yes and the heater and also set the time when the car comes on to charge so that you can use off-peak electric tariffs.
I like the outside looks of this car, the interior only 60-70%, and I like that the gasoline engine can generate electricity for the battery or put the wheels in motion, it`s more proof this way (but which one is more economical).
You did not mention anything about range anxiety or how long can you go with the car filled up, for example you need to go 1.000 km in the shortest time possible, let`s say with the car filled up (elctric+gasoline) you have a range of 600 km, and you fill up only with gas (for reasons of time), in theory you should have a range decrease by only 50 km, so you can have a range of 1.150 km with 2 fill ups.
unfortunately, he got his facts wrong on that one... the engine will run to provide electricity for the wheels, when battery is flat, the engine will also run to provide additional torque for the electric motors, if you put your foot flat to the floor...... the engine will not run the wheels directly without the electric motors..
A modern TDi estate car can do the same distance on 1 tank and carry as much kit
You are absolutely right Russ, Mitsubishi admit that if you do a journey of more than 100 miles then the diesel version is more economical, where this car comes into its own is shorter journeys that are mostly electric powered but also giving you the flexibility of longer range if it is required. Also flipping what you have said about modern TDi's, if you regularly run them on short journeys the DPF clogs up and can cause problems.
Diesel all the way mate I have a 2006 Mazda 6 diesel and it gets 550 to a tank and does been 38mpg to 45mpg on normal runs plus I don't have to replace battery at a daft price
And you have way less room. I get almost 92mpg with this SUV to with four wheel drive.
this is what i saw when i watched the video 6:05:22 i was like well i found a glich/bug
It has the worst made leather seats I have seen in a new car...
totally agree
+Jakub Adamski God those seats are awful
+Jakub Adamski they look terrible, they're not even padded properly at the edges and corners
+Jakub Adamski Totally agreed.
I concur...at first glance I thought they were cloth....the leather is so loose fitting. absolutely horrid
What kind of car does everybody like?
employed him because he sounds like quentin wilson
This dude is auditioning for presenter on 1998 Top Gear.
FREEDOM LEAF @ 4:22
33 mpg that is reality. if you live, work, play in a big city then you do not need a 2 tonne 4x4. A city car is what you need, or use public transport.
around town, nissan leaf would make sense.
Russ Cattell Well, I'm almost 7ft tall.
I can't buy a city car and I can't really comfortably use public transport either.
Suggestions?
jackr88
I have a few friends well over 6ft tall, yes they are limited for choice, high cabin cars make life easier, I agree.
Not a great car or particularly desirable but saves getting on for £3-4 G's PA in Tax for UK company car drivers on 40% Tax rate compared to say an Q5 or an X3 Diesel
I LOVE THIS GUY
He probably loves you too
With lithium batteries lasting a year in mobile phones, I wouldn't even think of buying this car.
earlier version has been out for 2 years, the chevy volt/opel-vauxhall ampera for 5 years...none have had big problems with batteries so far
The tesla model s and my laptop are a case in point to prove you wrong here, my laptop was made in 2012 and the model s first rolled off the production line in 2012 as well with over 700 of batteries similar to the two cells in my laptop and no one has had any problems with their model s and I haven't have had any problems with my laptop, and better still, the Nickel Metal Hydride batteries in my parents 2007 Toyota Prius are still going strong, getting up to around 80mpg live and 55-60 average over the 7or 8 years we have had it (my parents buy cars that are one year old, that is their strategy to buy a very nice car, of which the Prius was at the time, at a very nice price with no hassle of running it in and it not having extortionately high mileage.
More 🔋 means less harsh real world use which is why cellphones deplete as fast as they do.
8 Mitsubishi Battery WARRANTY. No Worries.
For normal, person it's a awesome, car and costs peanuts to run around town plus it can tow, ya, caravan Errr can a electric car do that nope and, another massive, bonus, is, you can pick one up for 10k
I watch car buyer just because of mat
...it actually has a manual handbreak! What??!
It should be taxed more then the two Jeeps we own as they achieve more MPG that that!
They also have a soul and a heartbeat - unlike this!
He's belongs on a mardi gras float
He seems sound I just come for the cars James is not bad altough I miss Mat
it's funny because outlanders don't sell well in the US period
its only the phev version that sells well over here, and only within its particular sector( electric vehicles)
...its just that the phev version is more practical(in a carting your kids about kinda way..) than any other hybrid/electric vehicle.... for me, it suits me, as most of my driving is in town, about 10-20 miles round trip...but for me to see my family up north, then i can hop in and get up there easily.... the prius would be far too cramped, the ampera(volt in the us) does'nt have enough seats in the back, the tesla is far too expensive, and still, i would'nt make it up north and back on a single charge anyway... and anything else plug-in electric just does'nt have the range.... i drive a diesal estate at the moment..and I'm starting to realise i need to get rid of it as soon as i can... theres a lot of talk ranging from upping the road tax to something stupid- to banning diesals outright...
Iain Ansell The Tesla has more range than the Mitsubishi
+cameron-scott smith including the use of petrol, the Mitsubishi has the longer range...
The Tesla is pure electric and has around 50 times the amount of batteriers. Try driving your Tesla from LAX to Illinois via Kansas and see how far you get. (Hint: charging stations disappear once you're in Nevada.) The Mitsubishi is a more practical car. At a much lower price point. And, in the US, comes with a ten year warranty. Comparing it to a Tesla is utterly pointless.
iatsd There is no PHEV Mitsubishi in the U.S.
why buy something like this which is just a five seater and cramped head space in the middle
Who puts a 120hp engine into a 2000kg SUV! Drane the battery and this thing will drink like Geoge Best and Oliver Reed combined!
Most people who bought these were as a massive tax dodge so I have no sympathy in them being such a bad car (both new version and old). The original was popular because you got £5000 from the government, plus no road tax, and lots back if you claimed it for business mileage. That despite the fact a lot of people never bothered to charge them so they got all the tax breaks but were just as polluting as every other vehicle.
Oh shut up you slaaaaag!!
Why would you need an SUV if you spent most of your time in The City?
Well, I have children, two or one double baby troll... Only these will make my SUV full...
Ich vermisse Mat und Rebecca...
You are no match for Matt! Carwow here i come!
Can someone tell me what the fuck happened to Mat Watson? Why is on Carwow? What happened between you guys
Mitsubishi's name, like Volkswagen's, has lost all meaning to me, due to their own scandal as well. I don't think I'll be getting that car then.
Unless you're buying a Mitsubishi kei car in Japan with overinflated tyres then I'm pretty sure you've got nothing to worry about.
Do some research & you'll struggle to find any manufacturers that haven't lied about some aspect of their cars.
VW, GM, FCM, PSA, MITSUBISH, SUZUKI, HONDA, have all been caught out, I'm sure this list is just the beginning.
Everyone with just a bit of common sence know, that the official EU fuel consumption numbers are completely unrealistic for nearly all cars. And the main problem is the test itself, not that some manufacturers "cheat". So honestly who cares, if manufacturer A cheated with some numbers? Its not like the vehicles from manufacturer B are going to be any more economical than similar vehicles from manufacturer A, which did not "cheat". Or perhaps were just not caught yet. And its the same story with those dreaded diesel emissions. The real scandal is not, that VW cheated. The real scandal is, that the test is so flawed, that ALL diesel vehicles, except those few who use "blue add" technology, pollute much more, that EU regulators say, they do.
So its only economic if you do battery journeys...oh and what happens after three years when the batteries need replacing ? The road tax exemption wont last long either under this failed government.
Mitsubishi have now increased the EV components warranty from 5 to 8 years from first registration.
He's no Rebecca Jackson.....
I would happily shell out mucho dineros for that there diesel powered Outlander that is woefully unavailable in British Columbia. Crappy deal! Kinda wish I didn’t hear that. Oh well.
When will Europe stop driving Diesel knowing how bad they are for people's lung.
the seat fit and finish is worthless. it appears that novice sew the seats via cheap Labour
Trying to sound like Quentin wilson
My bro in law had this car...... hybrid my ass! The plug in bit gave him 10mpg (mpe miles per electric!) the whole thing was more like 30mpg not the potential 147mpg the deal said!
at best 45mpg
veryyyyyyyyyy poor seats :(
Makes to many bleeping noises for no reason,alerting neighbours of your every movement,pain in the a***!!!!!!!
This Mitshubishi is very expensive too and lucky for Mitshubishi that Nissan buy them because they will be History
Mr11ESSE111 32 percent is far from purchasing Mitsubishi. Nissan did what they did because like most manufactures they have not figured out how to combine the tech in this car, reliability and price point. Also Nissan needs help with their horrible All wheel drive systems, so that would be another reason. If you check your facts you will find a few other reasons Nissan made this move. Just don't feel like explaining them all to you
Mitsubishi could easily buy Renault and Nissan if they wanted. No other carmaker has made anything that compares to This Outlander.
Mitsubishi is behind the elektricity you use in your house. Vestas/Mitsubishi is the Worlds largest manufacturer of Wind Mills. And a mitsubishi tunnel machine made the tunnell England to France. Nikon Camera and Verbatim is mitsubishi etc etc!!!
third review with this presenter and just no, way to annoying have un-subscribed, car buyer what were you thinking giving this guy a job.
what are you thinking writing this comment and thinking it makes sense? 🤔
It's pronounced f-e-v
42g co2, haha, joke, as always.
junk in the forest
HAS BEEN COMPANY
Hey Jeremy Clarkson said its the worst car in the world.
and you are a bullshit
Richard Joash Tan PHEV owner spotted.
+Ivan Poh Really? Did he send that through Skype to you?
+Aristotelis Mitsiou (tkk7406) no. He commented through a qna session on his facebook page when a guy asked whats the worst car. He just said mitsubishi PHEV. U can go check it up
This is officially my second least favourite car out there, after the VW Polo Bluemotion. Dreadful looks, mediocre performance, awful handling, a dull interior, poor seats, surprisingly lacking space (no seven-seater configuration available), unrealistic economy figures, and where I come from, they're bloody *everywhere*. I hate it with a burning passion.
Where are Rebecca and Mat? this guy is annoying....
how is he annoying- I don't get all the hate
