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.

What this car is- an incredible fuel efficient SUV. What it is not- A full electric vehicle. This is a vehicle that you need to do your research before buying to know what you are getting. If you have a daily round trip work commute of less than 30 miles, this vehicle is mind blowing. Monday through Friday, I hardly use a gallon of gasoline. I can go 2-3 weeks on $20 of gas before a refuel. The other day I was averaging about 190 mpg at one point. The times that you get beyond the EV charge, you have decent fuel economy for a 3000+ lb vehicle. I had a Jeep Wrangler before this, about the same weight, and it's a night and day comparison. The gas engine is quiet and had sufficient power. You'll hardly notice when it does come on. The best thing about this car is all the flexibility that you have when driving. You can charge the battery with a push of a button. My strategy on longer trips is EV to the interstate, then charge mode on highway miles. This is one of the quietest vehicles I've ever been in. When I drive our minivan, I think that something is wrong with it because I can feel the engine through the gas pedal and it's much louder on the highway. The handling of the PHEV is very good, more like a large car. The interior is very comfortable with plenty of room. We did a 6 hour ski trip this winter with 4 people in the car, skis on top and cargo area fully loaded. No complaints. I highly recommend getting a class 2 charger. You can fully charge the battery in about 2 hours when it's fully depleted. The charger that comes with it is very slow, about 12 hours. You'll need a 240v line for the class 2. Not a big deal. I have a 6 kw solar array on my home so I'm getting free charging from the sun a lot of the time. My only complaint about the car is the limited EV range. If it got 30-50 miles on a full charge, that would be way better. People worry about EV's range but after you have one, you realize that most of your daily driving is short trips. I highly recommend this vehicle if you have realistic expectations of what it can and can't do. If you want a full EV SUV, buy a RIvian next year. it will cost you about $40K more that the PHEV.

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!

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
