Plug in hybrid, comfort, but hope to get a turbo

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’m pleased with my purchase. I traded in a 2016 Outlander (gas only version) for this PHEV. I’m enjoying driving, especially in EV mode. My wife takes it to her school and back everyday which is about a 10 mile commute one-way. Gas mileage and range drop significantly when the temps get below freezing, but it’s still very efficient. I’ve had no problems thus far, which is good since I’m located far away from my Mitsubishi dealer. I continue to be impressed with the quality level of Mitsubishi’s, and this one is more luxurious and has more bells and whistles than our previous Outlander. I’m hoping it also proves to be as reliable as my last one. We currently have about 2700 miles on the new one, but traded in our old one with over 75000 miles on the odometer with zero problems including a very long trip out west this past summer. My only disappointment is the lack of a spare tire. That makes me a bit nervous even though I get free roadside assistance for five years and unlimited miles. The best part was the incredible deal I got on this vehicle. It came with an $11K discount including all rebates and loyalty rewards. Not to mention the $5800 tax credit I’ll be receiving on my federal income taxes this year. My dealer in White Bear, MN was fantastic. With the great deal, long 100K mile warranty, and previous experience with Mitsubishi quality, I think it’s a solid investment for the long-term. I love all the gadgets that come with our GT version, and it’s also fun to see how much electric drive I can squeeze out of it before we need to engage the gas engine. I installed a 240 volt charger in my garage for it, and received a $500 rebate from my municipal utility for it, and will also be receiving a $1000 tax credit for its purchase and installation. Overall, the PHEV is an investment, but I think it’s a solid one, because it’s been well sorted out in international markets and is a great value for the buck. And, on top of that, I’m putting less exhaust into the air.

Love the instant electric torque around town, not neck snapping power but no hesitation either. Highway acceleration is slow though, but the car has no issues maintaining 80 mph even on hilly interstates. Interior materials are a mixed bag but overall ambience is ok for the price point. Ride quality is good and handling is responsive and secure. As far a efficiency goes, I get around 20 miles of EV range on a single charge (highway only 70 mph+) and around 27 miles EV range on city only trip. Gas only millage is around 27 mpg on highway, not bad. Out the lot price for my PHEV was $26,700 ($36,700 sticker including fees minus $8,500 discount minus $1,500 loyalty rebate (I owned an Eclipse Cross as well). On top of that I'm getting $5,836 on federal tax credit for this year. You can't beat that!! Or you can get bare-bones base trim Rav4 or CR-V for that amount.
