Wonderful car, great balance of compromises. Love the ride, silence, electric torque, versatility, and especially that the usefulness has not been compromised by absurd design. Visibility, mirrors, ceiling height, standard moon roof with solid blind, self folding rear seats, folding rear seat head rests, touch screen, non reflective odometers and many other little things I do love. My only gripes are the gezillian warning beeps and of little importance, not a fan of shiny black plastic parts on the dash and front grill, even if you call it piano finish poly carbonate. Also the various control buttons seem sprawled out, wish they would be in a single cluster above the heater controls

Its a plug in hybrid, SUV, heavier than my previous own Toyota Prius Plug In, but it is a very solid build car, the suspension and breaking is really nice. I use to own Honda and Toyota, BMW, and I am surprise the quality of this Mitsubishi, very fine work they done. But I have to admit, the only reason I buy this car is to get the California HOV sticker. I didn't think about the HP from this 2.0 IL4 engine on this relatively heavy car ( may be battery and ev parts cause it to be heavier ). When you still have battery power, the acceleration was ok, but when it is on gas mode, it lacks power and you can feel it. Over all, I still love this car a lot, most of the time we have 21 miles of EV range after all night 120VAC charging, and if I don't visit customer that day, it is perfect that I didn't have to use gas at all. I did use the CHARGE mode sometimes just want to keep the range available as much as I can, because driving on EV mode feels much better in this vehicle. If you are looking for a Plug in SUV, this is the most affordable one, and the interior room is great, much better than Chevy Volt, Prius Prime and Subaru Crosstrek? The only wish I have on this car is if they can put a turbo charge on the gas engine will be great. After 1 1/2 year of ownership, it’s still a great car to drive. Had 27500 miles on it. There is one short point is the gas tank is too small, if you drive from LA to Vegas, you must stop for gas because it’s all uphill , there is no way you can get 300 miles range. Either they put a bigger tank or bigger battery, otherwise no choice, you can’t get there. The 2020 got hit w Covid-19, I don’t drive as much, the EV range is ok, don’t use gas that much. 2022 update: still a wonderful drive so far, no big problems, 46000 miles, live everything about it, I live in So Cal, the dealership near me is puente hill Mitsubishi, very good service, Sal is very nice, service cost is very reasonable. Change tires once , everything else is functional.

Update,138000miles now(daily work drive), still love it, two complain 1. the horsepower when acceleration. I guess the new 2.4L engine can get better. 2. fuel tank too small 11Gal. others no complain On my shopping list never have this Outlander PHEV, but I just bought it (2018 Outlander PHEV GT). I was planning to buy MDX Hybrid(my most favorite), RX450, Volvo XC60 Hybrid, but I see this car can get into the carpool lane and only $40K (out to door), that is a good deal. plus I will get another $6k tax credit (fed and ca) , a really good deal. did I mention a 10-year warranty ??, to me, those luxury car charges are way overpriced, you are buying that logo for extra, as well as your own feeling good over others only, that is it. the only thing I don't like this car is the driver's seat, not too comfortable (compare to my old RX400H and my wife's BMW230i), but will get used to it in time. overall I like it after 1-week commute daily to work.

Highlights: Amazing SUV!. My wife uses it for Daly errands, we charge every time we get back home, on 1 gas tank we are doing between 750 to 1,000 miles! It is the perfect equation Size, Price, Real MPG. We did 1 long trip from Miami to NC and all safety features on our GT are an amazing help while driving, the adaptive auto pilot, and the automatic high beams are 2 features that I will not buy any other car without them! Then the automatic whippers helps a lot in South Florida all year heavy rains. The only complaint I have is that under 90+ degrees on most days of the year, not having a rear vent for the AC make my kids force me to put the fan on the AC on high all the time.

I compared all the Hybrid & electric SUVs available in 2018 models. I found this SUV to be the best choice financially and in performance wise. I was debating between this and a Toyota Highlander Hybrid. After careful consideration of all the factors: price, performance, interior & exterior looks and amenities, and car reviews, buying the 2018 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV GT was a no brainer. I have owned this vehicle for 8 months and haven’t regretted my decision. I’m so pleased with this vehicle and I get a lot of compliments from strangers on it. I live in Hawaii where Toyota & Honda are the go to cars and dominate the market. I have short daily commutes and love all the perks, free EV parking, driving solely in electric mode, tax rebates, etc... Strangers compliment my beautiful baby daily. I bought the ruby black pearl color and it shimmers in the sunshine. All my family and friends love the exterior, interior, and driving performance as much as I do. I’ve owned BMWs, Toyotas, Fords, Saturns, and Hondas in the past and I must say, this vehicle comes in 1st place for me. The only downside is I wish it had better electric driving range but given everything else it does have, I still love it.
