We purchased our 2023 Outlander PHEV top spec in April 2023. We now have 22,000 km on the car and have only used two tanks of fuel in that time. We have achieved once ,on battery alone, as much as 104 kms but usually in the winter time it runs about 60 to 70 in cold weather and in summer between 70 and 90 km. This is when the battery is depleted and the car reverts to hybrid mode. We have achieved between 5.7 and 6.4 L to 100 km in normal everyday driving combined Highway City in hybrid mode with only reserve battery remaining. This is much better than the EPA ratings in all regards. We use the Advanced Cruise Control (ACC) 90% of the time and we find it very, very effective. The vehicle will completely stop when using ACC and approaching other stationary vehicles at a stoplight. Acceleration can be slow from the stop light on battery alone or it can be relatively quick on battery alone or when engine hybrid for that matter simply by turning the knob from Eco to Normal. The third row is always said to be very tiny which it is however, any sensible person who wants to use the third row for young children or even young teenagers can adjust the front seats forward a little and also the rear seats forward a little still giving ample leg room and have seating comfort for all five passengers in the first and second row but giving between 8in and 10 in of legroom for the third row passengers. The third row seat is comfortable. Storage space with the third row lying flat is very good. I have put 40 bags of 30 l topsoil in the back and still be able to see out of the rear view mirror. The suspension is firm and the car corners like it's on rails. It is very responsive in all regards. When the ultimate amount of power is desired with even reserve battery charge left and using the Power Mode the car goes like lightning to 6.5 seconds to 100 kph. The car also can operate on four-wheel drive all the time not just all wheel drive when using the center console knob. The four-wheel drive modes for snow, gravel mud or icy conditions as well -also for off-road. I predominantly use the Eco or Normal mode when driving and only occasionally use the Power Mode. One very interesting point is charging the battery when the battery is depleted while driving the car in the city or the highway. In this situation by pressing the button to Charge Mode will charge the battery as you drive however, this will increase your fuel consumption by approximately 2 L in 50 km of driving but it will give you 80+% charge. At idle the battery will charge to 80+% in about 90 minutes and you use slightly less than 2 L of fuel in doing so. When traveling longer distances I have found that using the EV while driving then the Charge Mode while driving and then switching back to EV mode once the battery is charged to 80% helps to decrease the consumption of fuel dramatically because EV is using battery for about 50% of the time while longer distance driving than the battery can give in one complete charge. One hint always use the ACC and one pedal driving mode whenever possible. However, when the battery is fully charged the one pedal driving mode will disconnect the regenerative braking until the battery is depleted about 30% from full WHEN depressing the brake. In this case either do not use the brake and rely on the electric motors to dramatically slow/stop the car to a stop while on ACC OR do not depress the one pedal driving button and drive an Eco or Normal Mode using the battery alone (EV) until about 30% of the battery has been used then when you slow the regenerative braking will charge the battery. Then depress the one pedal driving button all the time. The car uses the very effective and efficient Heat Pump to heat and cool. Almost all professional reviewers miss this big advantage over most other PHEV's as most do not have this feature. Happy Motoring. My wife and I love this car!

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.

I am 6'7" tall and I was looking for a PHEV and I fit into this vehicle. I looked at the Toyota RAV4, Mazda CX70 and CX90, Ford Escape, Hyundai Tucson, kia Sportage and Jeeps. The only ones I could fit into were the Mitsubishi, Mazda and Fords. although advertised with a range of 60Kms for EV mode. I am actually getting 80kms in EV mode. For most of my trips, I only use electric. I like the fact that I can select manually to the EV mode, Normal Hybrid, Gas only and gas and charge the battery mode or let the computer do it. I am getting great fuel economy with thuis vehicle about 3.3 l / 100k aboutg 81 mpg. Everyone, criticizes the 3rd row seat, it is not meant for large people. But the other night at my nephews basesball game, some kids needed a ride home, the third row seat while not meant for adults was great for a bunch of 7-8 years for a ride home. I like this versatility. My Grandma who is 72 years old and 5'1" loved it as she said it reminded her of a rumble seat in one of her Dad's classic cars! I also live in a Rural Area and I chose the Outlander PHEV because I get the benefit of the EV and the plus of a gas engine and the option for the engine to charge the battery. I believe this a practical solution to reduce Green House Gases while not having to worry about a lack of EV infrastructure. The leather interior with its diamond back stitching is luxurious.

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.
