- Real World Electric EV range of my Mitsubishi Outlander 2.4 PHEV Plug In Hybrid
Before anyone says it, let me say it first. This may be the most anal video you will watch. But having driven an Outlander PHEV Plug In Hybrid for the past 4 years, I got offered the "deal of a lifetime" to upgrade. The latest model has a 2.4 litre petrol engine and increase battery capacity.
The electrical range you can get from the batteries depends on the ambient heat (the warmer the wether the more efficient are the batteries), your driving style, the engine settings - ie setting to "Eco" and "EV" and use of the regenerative paddles. Sounds complicated? Not when you get used to it and you realise you are saving £££ or $$$ ! For information, this video was produced in the UK.
So on my 2016 PHEV i would get an EV / Electric driving range of about 18miles in the winter and 23/24 miles in the summer. The new Mitsubishi Outlander 2.4 PHEV promised marginally better so lets see!
If you don't have the patience to watch, in short I did get an improved EV range and, interestingly, albeit with a bigger engine, higher MPG.
Mitsubishi's claims of 140mpg ish are very confusing. If you do a 35 mile trip and most of it is on Electric your MPG (remember I am talking UK Imperial Gallons here) may show 750MPG ! If you do a 100 mile trip, using all your electric and then regenerating from the engine so maybe 50% of the drive was on electric, you may show 70MPG, hypothetically.
Finally if you drive aggressively, don't bother to regenerate, don't bother to use "Eco" mode and switch on the more responsive "Sport" mode your economy will, of course suffer.
And for those who can't be bothered to charge the batteries at all.....you will have to visit the fuel pump more often that you might expect because its fuel tank is smaller (45 litres) to compensate for the battery pack.

it takes like 3 full charges to drive 100km in the city thats no doubt about it... i have same 2019 model and in winter at 0C you can drive 15-19miles max ... i mean we have driven 256km and did 5 times full charge and still put over 30liter of fuel... its very hungry car
FYI for anyone else who visits here, on my (second-hand) MY20 (built Jul 2019 2.4 litre engine/13.8kW battery) I get around 25 miles/40km electric range on reasonably flat roads (around Adelaide, South Australia) on an approx 25 Deg C day, running the A/C. The car has done 50,000kms and according to PHEVwatchdog the battery has degraded to around 75% of original capacity. I would have expected the car in this video to do better given the low miles on the odometer but I do note that the outside temperature is 15 deg C.
Personally, i found the best way to drive it on the bat save mode using regen braking on b5. My driving style is normal with casual overtaking on sport mode, environment- suburban stretches with some drving around villages. 2.4 2019
Hi mate, nice video, thank you 👍 Do you know what mpg would you get driving on a motorway at constant speed at 70mph having no electricity at all? Just using the petrol engine? I consider to purchase 2019 model. Most people showing their mpg on short distances just around town or on mixed journeys 50% town 50% motorway. But what is a real fuel consumption on long 100miles+ journeys using only motorway?
you should keep your fuel tank 1/3 full, and just use your EV mode all the time, that should help you gain more milage on the road
Good set of tests. I see you have used a range of B modes. Given the speeds you seemed to be driving at, have you tried using B0 as the default for better efficiency on main roads with little traffic?
Ive just bought a 2015 model after never driving phev b4. How do you choose to drive electric only and how do you choose to pick hybrid mix mode? Cant fknd any vids on this
Thanks for very informative video 👍 Just bought mine used (-20 model) and doing some mpg testing on my channel also.
Safe travel it’s beautiful! It’s warm here it was 34 on Wednesday! Today it’s cool 22 my kind of weather !! I found this very interesting! Actually we were thinking of getting an electric Outlander too
I just came across your lovely video, I also have one which is a 2017 GH5hs and I am still not sure about how much battery charge I'm supposed to get. When I first bought the car in April of this year, when I charged the battery it would go up to 30% when full but now its going up to 24% when full. When I'm driving and its 24% I don't get nowhere near the 24% in miles, could you tell me why this could be and if you are noticing the same problems? I would like to ask you, bearing in mind yours in younger than mine, do your window switches in the door panel light (illuminate) up in the night because I've been trying to find out from people who own a '19/'20 plate but no-one seems to know as they say they haven't really paid any attention to it! Because when I'm driving at night and I want to lower a window I am finding that I am fiddling with the switches. Could you get back to me on the above matters please. Thanks again and I really enjoyed watching your video.
I was looking into buying one of these for the fuel economy. And for context. My BMW 2012 F30 330D M Sport ( 3 series) does 47.1 miles per gallon.
Thank you, very detailed and informative 👍🏼
That was really helpful as I have just purchased a 2014 outlander and was trying to get .y head around the charging
its easier to get the amount of kwh you actually put in with a digital charger otlr any way you want to measure the energy u put in the battery, better than showing your range which is not the same for every driver
I have just watched the video, I'm getting my 2.4 Outlander Phev this week.
Would having a full tank effect the range because of the weight?
great video! do you still own this car. im looking at a 2019 version...
You done very well. 🦚. modesty adorns men. 👌✨
Hey Dude, , im looking for some advice on the main differences / pros & cons between a 2014 PHEV vs 2015 PHEV facelift model?
Great video thanks. Would love to know or even better see a video on, mpg on petrol alone? Both motorway and county roads. Can't seem to find real world info. Cheers
