I have a 2023 SEL that I just bought March 31st and I consistently get between 52-58 miles of EV range in city driving where a PHEV's EV-only range is most efficient. I get the idea of the video but driving a PHEV in EV-mode in a highway-only range test MIGHT not be maximizing the vehicle's efficiency. Again, I get it and some people's commute might be highway-only and they'd like to get an idea of the range and thanks for your video covering that. I'm at 38.1 MPG's (1054 miles) since I bought the vehicle in a combination of city and highway driving (what I might consider "mixed driving").
Thanks for the review! -- I bought my 2023 Outlander PHEV (SEL Premium) 4 weeks ago - local dealer (Columbus, Ohio - USA) had 7 Outlander PHEVs on the lot. I got mine for $1,200 UNDER MSRP and the dealer gave me $31,500 for my 2018 Acura TLX -- I paid $18,000 plus tax for the Outlander. I have driven 1,340 miles -- getting 78 MPGe. I am plugging it in every night for my daily commute and weekend errands. It feels "luxurious" inside -- premium leather, panoramic roof, 360 camera, power folding side mirrors, heated, steering wheel, heated seats, hands-free tailgate, head up display, Bose speakers AND massaging seats! If I take a longer drive, I will have no "range anxiety." Plus, the Outlander has a 10-YEAR WARRANTY. ONE BIG NOTE: the owner's manual clearly states that the 3rd row is ONLY for people under 5' 3." I do not need a 3rd row, so I "tri-fold" it. This opens up a HUGE, DEEP storage well. And, I can stack duffel bag items on the folded 3rd row! The RAV4 Prime may have better overall mpg, but the 18-month wait and $12,000 "dealer adjustment" are outrageous. One local dealer wanted $65k for loaded Prime with MSRP of $52k. I did not consider Kia or Hyundai brands -- "Kia boys" have stolen 3,000 of them in my area (and assaulted drivers in the process). This is a real issue. Lastly, my home solar panels will be installed in 6 weeks along with a Level 2 charger in my garage. The Outlander PHEV is the PERFECT choice for me in 2023. Final note: the local dealer now has 14 Outlander PHEVs on the lot and offering $1,250 off MSRP. Availability, luxury, value and price -- a great vehicle to "step into" electrification!
We have had ours for 3 months now and just over 2k miles on it. Our average EV range has been between 40 to 45 miles, 2.9 miles per kWh and 78 mpge. I will be checking the hybrid only mpg on our upcoming road trip this month. My Wife wanted a luxury SUV and she is VERY happy with this car! 😊
A piece of advice - don't discharge the battery prior to going into the hybrid mode. Keep it in SAVE mode. If your car is like anything like my 2019, it will perform much better that way.
We just completed a 3200 mile road trip and now have 5300 miles on the car. I was satisfied with getting around 30 mpg running in save mode with the battery charge around 50%.
30 miles EV range would be more than enough for me most days. An average day of running around is about 20 miles. I like that it has the old Mitsubishi built 2.4 gas engine. I had a 2010 Lancer with that engine and it was completely trouble free (after 10 years I sold it to my sister - she hasn't had any issues either).
@@janakiramanmuthaiya4428 They are solid cars. Wish Mitsubishi had redesigned them, modernized them and kept trying to compete in the compact sedan segment.
Thanks for the video. Wouldn't it make sense to run a plug in hybrid in hybrid mode on the highway and EV mode in the city, rather than using the entire battery and then switching to engine-only mode?
Based on many of RUclips videos, you are correct. One should use hybrid mode on the highway and battery only in the city. I think engine comes on automatically above 45 m/h or if you going up the hill. Regardless, that 25 m/g on the highway is what stopped me from seriously considering this vehicle. Kia telluride owners report getting 28 m/g on the highway in a front wheel drive version. That's a much larger vehicle with true 3 row seating and 3.8 liter V6. Yes you only get 19 m/g in the city but its a less complex vehicle meaning significantly less things to repair down the road.
Exactly even RAV4 test these reviewers did similar test in hybrid mode so favouritism toward Toyota while Mitsubishi they want to downplay with inefficient settings.
@Scott Banko I got less than 30 mpg's on the highway in my 2019 Outlander PHEV only once in 4 years of owning the vehicle. My average highway mpg's in mid 30's, life-long mpg's - around 51.
Gearing up for the first road trip in our 23 Outlander PHEV. So far I have been beating the estimates for EV range and MPGE. I will be satisfied if I can get at least 30 mpg on the highway. I will report back with the actual results on my upcoming 3k mile road trip.
Just to say man this suv does not have a CVT there's no actual connection between the engine and the wheels The engine power is the generator the powers the battery that powers the wheels only on smooth highway driving will go into parallel hybrid mode where the engine will engage the The wheels through a clutch system on a single gear automatic transmission but not a CVT
Yeah, Mitsubishi's PHEV is very similar to Honda's newer 2 motor hybrid system, where it acts as a series hybrid primarily (so the engine acts as a generator for the electric motors which moves the car) and has a parallel hybrid mode that engages the engine at highway speeds using a clutch (so the engine can directly drive the car in conjunction with the electric motors). Alex on Autos did a good video explaining the previous gen Outlander's hybrid system.
That is correct Mitsubishi PHEV design came first before Honda’s PHEV and Rav PHEV, I would say Mitsubishi Phev is pioneer when it comes to PHEV to any other cars manufacturer like Kia, Hyundai, Mazda etc .
You cannot use Charge mode when the battery is above 80% charge level. The speed is very important, so if you drove at 60 mph instead of 70 mph, then fuel consumption would have been probably ~30 MPG or even better. The same with EV only range.
What happens if you use the flappy paddles for your braking, instead of the brake pedal? If you want to get maximum range out of any EV, or PHEV, you need to use the regenerative braking as much as possible. So, you either use the flappy paddles to move through the B0 to B5 regen braking modes, or you use the "One Pedal" driving option.
Had mine 2 months now and love it. I'm getting 90km ev range in mixed driving and I'm sure that 100km is achievable if you avoided highways. It seems mitsubishi has actually been rather conservative in its performance claims. I'm in NZ so wondering if maybe Mitsi is specing the car differently in other markets. Would be interested to learn of other owners experience. It's winter here so 10 to 14 degrees C so probably even better when the weather warms up
It was -20 where I live in Canada last week and I was getting about 68KM registered EV range...When the summer hits (+25 +30) I'm going to get a lot better range.
Something seriously wrong here, I have driven 800km on a tank of fuel highway, gravel, and offroad - while running a fridge and carrying a load of gear. Right now, with half a tank, I'm showing over 400km of range. Another thing to note, the Outlander PHEV drivetrain is not developed for pure economy - it's a mainly serial hybrid giving you a full EV drive experience without the range issues or the need for a huge battery. It's also a full-time 2 motor 4 wheel drive system where the S-AWC really comes into play on high speed and tight corners (but I know the US isn't big on corners) and rough roads and surfaces. It's also a beast on sand. Oh, and it can run your house basic electrics for a week on a tank of fuel should the need arise ;)
Something crazy just happened to mind. I charged it last night at a parking lot and it charged to 65 miles of EV range. Could it be that mitsubishi limits the charge capacity?
Have you tried putting EV mode on the highway, finishing the battery and then recharging the battery with gasoline and then using EV mode on the highway again? That is, combine the systems to use EV mode several times on a trip?
@@Antiorganizer PHEV's are not meant for long trips on the highway. A pure gas engine is far superior for long highway speed trips.. In city driving I've gone three days of driving to work and back with my 2024 PHEV outlander (Put on about 400 km), running errands and such...plugging in every night and I'm getting 2.4 l/100km (And it's below freezing here right now for the past 3 weeks). My gas gauge has dropped two little bars....Gas engine kicks on to assist in heating the cabin but that's it. Just wait till it's summer here....even less fuel usage. Can the rogue do that? < Nope...rogue sucks PHEV's the the way to go for small trips around the city with the occasional longer trip.
@@jasonkirkland1304 A gas engine ALWAYS cost more to run than an electric setup, therefore a "pure gas" engine is NOT "far superior" ever. And the Outlander PHEV sucks! Very lousy fuel consumption when EV range is depleted, and when on EV the amount of kWh per distance is awful! Far better to drive an all-electric like an Ioniq classic, or Niro, or Kona.
This is an interesting video, but I think the author is really missing the real-world use case of a PHEV like this (one that leans much more heavily into EV mode vs. hybrid). PHEVs like this are really perfectly suited for people doing a lot of around-town driving, and not for a lot of long trips. If you are going to be doing a lot of long driving, particularly daily, you're probably going to be better suited to a traditional hybrid. I'd also recommend the author consider a mixed test of highway and city driving - and even just a full city driving test. You're going to get a lot better EV range around the city. I have this PHEV and have been able to get some really impressive EV-only figures when driving around the city (~30-50 MPH), upwards of 50-55 miles on a single EV charge. The vast majority of my familie's driving with this vehicle is like this, and we haven't used gas in a really long time (save for the occasional long road trip we do every few months). And if your regular daily driving is like this and within this range, you will rarely ever use gas. This is why you'd buy a PHEV. I'll also add, specifically to this model, that third row - while ridiculously small - is super great to have in certain situations. We've already used it multiple times, and saved having to take two vehicles somewhere. Of course, this really works best if you have a family with small children.
I use to have 2019 Mitsubishi Outlander GT and that was so good and ran so well but I'm pretty disappointed with this mitsubishi outlander. It has the same engine throughout all the trims and barely has a lot of HP. Also the EV battery range is not worth it. If it got at least 100 miles on a single charge then it might be worth it, but the price tag at the top end of $50,000, is not worth it. I wanted to get the space off how big this vehicle is, but the price and range made me turn away. I'm going to probably get the Volvo EX30 that starts right under $35,000 and gets 280 miles of range. Smaller but more practical without a huge price tag. I'm a huge mitsubishi fan too.... I'm really disappointed with this
Kindly do the similar test with RAV4 EV only mode instead of running in hybrid mode like in one of the previous videos, also it is not CVT single speed direct drive motor THANK YOU !
@Anthony Gemus Correct. I have 2019 with a 12 kWh battery. My highway mpg's are in mid 30's (that is, of course, as long as I drive it in SAVE mode and I am keeping my battery charged).
Not very impressive! For a hybrid plug-in it should be much better than that. I have a 2022 Mazda CX 9 And my lifetime average for the vehicle is 25.9 miles per gallon. On trips I have gotten 27, 28 miles per gallon.
@Mitchell Leitman I got a 2019 one. Lifelong mpg's - 51+, usual highway's- mid 30's. I think the problem with the reviewer's car is that someone put a CVT in it :)
Save on gas but pay more on your electric bill. Most people with EVs think they're saving but their electricity is not free and this time in our economy it's even worse on electricity.
6.5 cents a kwh where I live.... Charging the battery from %0 - %100 will cost me $1.2 (charging a 20kWh battery) EV range is around 70km I drive about 700 km a month I will charge the battery 10 times to full...$12 total cost for the electricity for the month plus since it's winter her I use a little bit of gas to help heat the cabin. So far my gas gauge has dropped two little notches (about 1/8th of a tank approx) Gas cost where I live is $1.30/L So, with these numbers, a 56 liter tank, using 1/8 of that, I've used 7 liters. - Costs me $9 in gas + $12 in electricity $21 total so far to go 400 km. Right now, I'm sitting at 1/4 the cost for total energy cost compared to my last car. Not too shabby
@@jasonkirkland1304 sounds great right now until the battery packs go out in the car. Replacing the batteries in the car costs more than a car itself. You can rebuild a gas engine way cheaper or you can just buy a used motor but wouldn't advise buying a used battery pack for a EV car. That's why Ford and all the other dealers right now are dropping out the EV market FYI. You may want to check on that.
Thanks for your video. We have a 2022 Toyota RAV 4 Prime base model (SE with sun roof option package). So far over 15,000 miles and living here on the Pacific Ocean on the Northwest Oregon Coast electric range averages 35 miles - over 50 miles depending on weather etc. MPG just on gas with a depleted battery ranges from 40 mpg - over 50 mpg once again depending on weather. The last trip made, 3 days ago, was via highway 101 for a round trip of over 119.6 miles. Total electric miles: 52.4/ Total gasoline miles with a depleted battery (regular 87 octane 10% ethanol Costco brand) 67.2 miles / readout mpg from gauge 49.4 mpg (which has been pretty accurate), Speed ranged from 25-55 MPH as this highway goes through several small towns road were dry and temps ranged in the low 50's. I believe that the RAV 4 Prime is a much better buy as it comes standard with All Wheel Drive and there is a lot more Toyota Dealers than Mitsubishi Dealers as well.
The Rav4 Prime has superior highway MPG, but the Outlander has the more sophisticated drivetrain, with quicker all-electric acceleration and a torque vectoring AWD. Both are great choices. In Canada, the Prime is just not available (multi-year waitlist)
Difference being you can actually buy an Outlander vs like a 2 year wait for a R4P. Toyota makes an excellent vehicle no doubt (hence the wait), but I need a bit more cargo space and I was stoked there is a decent sized plugin in the Mitsu. Very much considering ditching my F150 (despite my love for it) for this.
@@grantlindsay8102Mitsubishi is understating the ev range. In reality i get 90km and I think 100 is even achievable. You won't regret this awesome machine
This is a bit of an outlier in terms of the tests I've seen. Many of the real world tests I've seen on YT have exceeded the published numbers. Definitely watch some other reviews before you make up your mind.
They have had some of their best sales recently… also mitsubishi made suvs back then too… i think you might be too young to remember but the pajero and montero suvs were popular models
Allow me to disagree. Yes if you drive mostly highway it's a very poor choice. But if you drive mostly city it gets much better milage that's according to many owners. Another area where this vehicle is significantly better than REV4 prime is all wheel drive system. So if you need all wheel drive and you drive mostly in the city and if you need a vehicle tomorrow not 12 months from now one should strongly consider this as an option. Plus if you lease it it qualifies for $7500 IRA discount. As an FYI there are RUclips reviews of new CRVs 4 wheel system and its not good.
Correction: fuel capacity is 14.8 gallons, therefore gas range is 380 miles, which is much more reasonable.

@Mitchell Leitman I got a 2019 one. Lifelong mpg's - 51+, usual highway's- mid 30's.
I think the problem with the reviewer's car is that someone put a CVT in it :)
And I will buy a fully loaded 2023 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV SEL Premium anyway.
49mpg in pure hybrid mode? or is that including first 30+ miles in ev @@mileitman
@@mrnumbskull1 it's with me putting it in EV mode whenever possible. So between 50 and 70 km on electric and the balance in hybrid mode.
Save on gas but pay more on your electric bill. Most people with EVs think they're saving but their electricity is not free and this time in our economy it's even worse on electricity.
6.5 cents a kwh where I live....
Charging the battery from %0 - %100 will cost me $1.2 (charging a 20kWh battery)
EV range is around 70km
I drive about 700 km a month
I will charge the battery 10 times to full...$12 total cost for the electricity for the month plus since it's winter her I use a little bit of gas to help heat the cabin. So far my gas gauge has dropped two little notches (about 1/8th of a tank approx)
Gas cost where I live is $1.30/L
So, with these numbers, a 56 liter tank, using 1/8 of that, I've used 7 liters. - Costs me $9 in gas + $12 in electricity
$21 total so far to go 400 km. Right now, I'm sitting at 1/4 the cost for total energy cost compared to my last car. Not too shabby
@@jasonkirkland1304 sounds great right now until the battery packs go out in the car. Replacing the batteries in the car costs more than a car itself. You can rebuild a gas engine way cheaper or you can just buy a used motor but wouldn't advise buying a used battery pack for a EV car. That's why Ford and all the other dealers right now are dropping out the EV market FYI. You may want to check on that.
@@dannyjohnson9628 With a full 10 year warranty on the battery (Full replacement) I'm good
Thanks for your video.
We have a 2022 Toyota RAV 4 Prime base model (SE with sun roof option package). So far over 15,000 miles and living here on the Pacific Ocean on the Northwest Oregon Coast electric range averages 35 miles - over 50 miles depending on weather etc. MPG just on gas with a depleted battery ranges from 40 mpg - over 50 mpg once again depending on weather.
The last trip made, 3 days ago, was via highway 101 for a round trip of over 119.6 miles. Total electric miles: 52.4/ Total gasoline miles with a depleted battery (regular 87 octane 10% ethanol Costco brand) 67.2 miles / readout mpg from gauge 49.4 mpg (which has been pretty accurate), Speed ranged from 25-55 MPH as this highway goes through several small towns road were dry and temps ranged in the low 50's.
I believe that the RAV 4 Prime is a much better buy as it comes standard with All Wheel Drive and there is a lot more Toyota Dealers than Mitsubishi Dealers as well.
But for me personally, I prefer the 2023 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV SEL Premium
The Rav4 Prime has superior highway MPG, but the Outlander has the more sophisticated drivetrain, with quicker all-electric acceleration and a torque vectoring AWD. Both are great choices. In Canada, the Prime is just not available (multi-year waitlist)
Mitsubishi ironically has better availability for the phev tho. Its almost impossible to find rav4 prime. Let alone without markup
Difference being you can actually buy an Outlander vs like a 2 year wait for a R4P. Toyota makes an excellent vehicle no doubt (hence the wait), but I need a bit more cargo space and I was stoked there is a decent sized plugin in the Mitsu. Very much considering ditching my F150 (despite my love for it) for this.
@@grantlindsay8102Mitsubishi is understating the ev range. In reality i get 90km and I think 100 is even achievable. You won't regret this awesome machine
25 mpg sucks. No need to dance around the bush or make excuses. It sucks.
They need small turbo engines , it's huge mistake no benefit of hybrid , my Santa Fe gas gives moreb
A real world test would have been 60 miles a hour.
might as well just get an electric w/ that pretty pathetic range
And I will buy a fully loaded 2023 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV anyway
This is a bit of an outlier in terms of the tests I've seen. Many of the real world tests I've seen on YT have exceeded the published numbers. Definitely watch some other reviews before you make up your mind.
@@RichardJoashTan Why do you keep repeating the same post on every Outlander reviews?
How's Mitsubishi still in business? It's unfortunate, they used to make cool cars back in the day.
They are partners with Nissan now.
@@rightlanehog3151 ah, that makes a lot of sense.
Thats why they are doing way better business in PHEV + Numbers than any other car !
They have had some of their best sales recently… also mitsubishi made suvs back then too… i think you might be too young to remember but the pajero and montero suvs were popular models
Because they've been selling a shitload of this PHEV longer than anyone and move a mountain of them in Europe and Asia? They make cool cars now bro
I am very surprised at how bad this was….Wow..
you need to know long distance hybrid mode drive :) otherwise no PHEV car in market will help you with range anxiety
And I will buy a fully loaded 2023 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV anyway
PHEV is not designed to drive at 70mph on the highway on batteries only
@@chuckyl3978 Outlander PHEV can go upto 80mph :) it gives priority to EV drive always.
Your video has no structure...
Worst review ever made the dude knows nothing about the car
Charlie, This Nitsubishi is thoroughly mediocre by any measure. 🤨
And I will buy a fully loaded 2023 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV anyway
And Richard agrees with you cause he would not buy an Outlander anyway
Allow me to disagree. Yes if you drive mostly highway it's a very poor choice. But if you drive mostly city it gets much better milage that's according to many owners. Another area where this vehicle is significantly better than REV4 prime is all wheel drive system. So if you need all wheel drive and you drive mostly in the city and if you need a vehicle tomorrow not 12 months from now one should strongly consider this as an option. Plus if you lease it it qualifies for $7500 IRA discount. As an FYI there are RUclips reviews of new CRVs 4 wheel system and its not good.
1.5t hybrid from Nissan is way better.

Да акцент никуда не деть.
Just. Plug. In. Your head. Same old hot air song. & Dance 😢
My Highlander hybrid recorded 36mpg average.
