Great Outlander PHEV

This is one fine car. We consistently get 65 km of range in the winter between -5 and 10° C but in summer from temperatures 10 to 30° Celsius or range increases to 75-80 km kilometers in battery range. The ride is rather firm due to the 20-in low profile tires. The car handles like it's on Rails and when three or four people are in the car it rides quite smoothly and quietly. When setting power mode which combines with two electric motors and the gasoline engine the car takes off like a rocket but even with just the two electric motors operating the car is extremely fast and really can scoot along in the city and Suburban areas very very quickly. Much has been said and maligned about the small third row seat but in reality when moving the front seat forward two or three inches and the second row seat forward two or three inches that gives significant legroom for the third row passenger up to about 15 years of age and about 5 ft 6 so it really is a good vehicle for carrying seven people and we have done it easily with six including a baby in a car seat in the second row. The car is quiet and fuel efficient when the battery has been depleted but it always maintains about 10 to 15% of the battery charge so when you drive on hybrid it is still quite efficient EPA says the car gets 26 miles to the gallon US gallon we don't find that we find that the car gets approximately 6.1 L to 100 km when in hybrid mode driving at 95 km an hour which is approximately 60 mph. There are so many benefits the heat pump providing heat in the winter time saves fuel and although it can cut the battery range it does not really significantly do so when cycled off and on using the automatic system. We would definitely buy this car again. The North America rating for towing a trailer is 1500 lb which is very low however the identical car in Australia is rated to tow 3600 lb. The owner's manual is the size of a Bible and is very very comprehensive in his nature as there are so many options of driving this car. It can be driven in four-wheel drive using some of the options and because of the horsepower rating of the various Motors it has a rear wheel drive feel when operating the vehicle normally. In 16,000 km of driving our 2023 Outlander phev we have only used 2.5 tanks of fuel it has been outstanding. It charges overnight and is easily topped up at public Chargers if necessary but really it's not because you can use the gasoline engine to charge the battery up to 80% as you drive so what's the point of popping up on the expensive public charging systems. We pay $.12 per kilowatt hour in electricity here in British Columbia and it takes a $1.75 to charge the battery. I said previously we highly recommend this car and also we would buy it again at a drop of a hat if necessary. Our Mitsubishi dealer in British Columbia is superb. At three points last summer we got 104 km on a battery charge that was when the temperature was about 27-28° Celsius but usually in the summertime we get 85 km Which is far above the EPA rating of 61. It's really nice thing about the heat pump for heating unlike all the other phevs except the Rav4 prime is that it doesn't need the gasoline engine to operate to provide cabin Heat however leaving the heat pump on all the time when driving can lower your battery range by up to about 12 km over the entire battery charge however you're not burning fuel too give you heat or air conditioning. Check it out this is a fine car and we love it. One last thing the phev does not have a CVT transmission it's a direct link to the front drive motor so do not be misled by showing CVT. It does not have one. The gasoline only models do but the phev does not as it direct clutched link. It runs flawlessly. The gasoline motor starts imperceptibly. As an update, we have 23800 kms and still have used only 2.5 tanks of fuel.we have had zero problems with the car. In very cold weather of -20C the heat pump heats the car well as it does when cooling at +30C. This is a fine car. We still would buy again with no hesitation.

Great car overall, it has a larger battery Co pared to other PHEVs which gets it a higher rebate and green plates in Canada. Can do a typical commute in electric only. 3rd row is small but it is useful in a pinch. Great family car overall with decent power and handling for when you need to push it.

Piece of Crab/Phev 2023

I regretted buying the phev outlander 2023. The tailgate stopped working suddenly. I took to Edmonton Northside mitsubishi for repair Three times. They couldn't figure out the issue. Kept swapping parts from one vehicle and still nothing fixed. Now vehicle stayed for three days without any result. The sad part of it they don't give you a replacement till they get it fixed. I Kept using Uber for my family trips costing me a lot . Now my friend who advised me to choose Toyota Hybrid for the same price is Loughling loudly. My advice avoid this crab and choose another reliable brand and service.
