I've been commuting in this car for a month now (hilly 40mi each way, mostly freeway), and it's getting about 60mpg overall and 22-25mi of battery range when starting at 80-100% charge each way. A few trips taken without charge manage about 40mpg on the freeway. The styling and tech is nothing exciting, but it's a comfy ride with good visibility and tons of interior space. With no driver input, it seems to prioritize EV mode at all speeds under 85mph until the battery is depleted, unless quick acceleration or steep hillclimbs are needed. My main complaint is that the gas tank is fairly small and so it still requires frequent fill ups with my driving needs. Overall, a great car to drive before transitioning to full EV as their range improves.

I’ve owned a lot of cars,pickups,and motorcycles.Build quality and reliability have always been most important.I love my Outlander phev.I burn No fuel Monday to Friday most weeks.Just plug it in like my cell phone at night.I have read the reviews on interior flaws,but I have None.I have no squeaks or rattles,the leather seats are comfy,supportive and have nicer leather than my 2018 Tiguan.The outlander accelerates much quicker than Tiguan which had bruttle lag from the turbo.I know Mitsubishi more from their Heavy Eq.Excavators,etc.It is some of the best in the world.In my opinion.I’m a retired licensed mechanic,with over 40 yrs.experience in Automotive and Heavy Duty Eq.My Outlander phev has surpassed my expectations.No recalls,no visits to the dealer for unexpected problems.It’s comfortable,fuel efficient,quiet,and nicely equipped.The Cargo volume is 30 cubic feet.Perfect for my dog! No it is not a sports car.I don’t expect to smoke the tires up to a rev limiter.It’s a SUV.You know,high centre of gravity.Soft Suspension.Aerodynamic like a potatoe.They’re all the same including the Q5.I can tow my Utility trailer,Plow through slush and snow,and enjoy a nice quiet smooth ride on a road trip.The 2 litre engine is a little rough and noisy,but only when producing max power,wich I don’t use most of the time.The electric mode is great.Instant torque.Plenty of acceleration.My 2018 Tiguan Highline was full of bugs,recalls,squeaks and rattles.A real POS compared to my Outlander.And a full 10 year warranty with the Phev including the battery says something by itself.VW and Audi claim there products are built just as good in Mexico as Germany.Nice Try. Not even close.The Outlander PHEV is Built in Japan.The pride in assembly is evident,just as it is in German built Mercedes and BMW Tony-BC ,Canada

We've had our Outlander PHEV for almost 3 year now. The Plug-in Hybrid technology is amazing. We get about 3 months per tank of fuel (CDN)$60 in the summer. It's bit worse in the winter. The technology is fantastic, if you are ok with lousy performance (which is OK with us), this thing has no power. But where this car really sucks is in it's design. Its like a bunch of engineers just said, that' good enough. they need to hire some designers. - There is no storage, you can't put your cell phone anywhere while driving. - The windshield wipers do not have an intermittent mode, only "auto", which is useless in the winter. - All of the notifications use the same beep, so you don't know what safety feature is active. Lane Departure? Blind Spot Detection? Braking warning? They all use the same tone. - Material finish is sub-par and internal panels don't fit well together - The driver's seat rocks back and forth when you accelerate/brake - The in-dash display controls are terrible and non-intuitive - Button positions are in blind spots, you can't see them while driving - Heated seats use toggle buttons, so if you leave them on, they stay on. Not good feature for a battery operated vehicle - Fuel efficiency when riding in hybrid mode is lousy. North of 8L/100km. Bottom line, it's a good grocery-getter and fantastic for short distance commutes. However, if you are expecting a luxury vehicle, which is reasonable when you spend more than $50K on a car, you will be disappointed We bought this car because we wanted an AWD, Plug In Hybrid and there are few on the market. For the extra $10K, I will buy the Volvo XC60 next time.

I was looking for an suv with lots of room and great gas mileage. I’ve had the phev for one year. This is a car that demands proactive operation to get best gas mileage I enjoy that aspect using electric brake paddles, Charge buttons, save mode and all electric mode. On long trips I get around 50 mpg but doing local driving I have gotten over 200 mpg. Best turning ratio, a nice drive, and plenty extras. Also 4wd!

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.
