Funny with all the haters always on Mitsubishis balls, anytime I drive my 2023 outlander I get compliments constantly on how nice looking the car is. And last time I checked it’s looks more luxurious in and out than the highlander which I tested and didn’t like at all. Mitsubishi literally outclassed its competitors with this outlander and haters are going nuts..heck even Scotty gave the outlander a thumbs up in reliability. Keep crying haters 😂
Even the Car Help Corner but he has no choice because according to him this phev is mostly requested by the customers 😂😂😂 but he kept discouraging them not to buy it!!! 😂😂😂
@@gerardferry8810 🤣it’s actually pathetic to see how haters struggle to deny the beauty and reliability of this new Mitsubishi 🤣. The car is so good people actually stop me to ask for reviews as they are planning to get one too. I hope Mitsubishi keep up this momentum and quality,they really aced this car.
…. Mitsubishi can say this too. “They laugh at me because I am different. I laugh at them because they are all the same “
@@GodSaveThePhilippines0821 You’re absolutely right!!!😂😂🤣🤣
Well, my '23 Outlander PHEV looked good too - sitting in my driveway in January refusing to start or charge because it was engineered not to in order to protect the battery. Looks aren't everything.
I recently purchased the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV in Oregon and drove it down here to Cabo. I found it to be an excellent highway vehicle, comfortable and loaded with driver assistance features which are rarely mentioned.
Around town here in Cabo, I plug it in to a standard wall plug and generally have enough charge to get me through my day. Drop kids off at school, soccer practice, occasional Costco trip, etc. It's comfortable and quiet, with plenty of pep, good ground clearance, and AWD is excellent. I'm happy with my purchase.
Man I want one
Got my '23 Outlander SEL PHEV in January. Have put in 8,500Kms to it and now averaging 0.9L/100Kms (combined ICE and EV). Meaning only 1 gas station visit since January. As other people would say it - is a peppy yet quiet 80km-EV with an "emergency" engine. Also, it is a 5-seater with an "emergency" 3rd row. I could not ask for more. Kudos to Mitsubishi!
This is greater range . I have recently got one, but averaging only 60on highway and 70 on city roads. How are you able to get 80 Ev range?
@@vivekpanwar1 I drive 90kms to and from work. 60% city roads. When I get home I still have close to 5-10kms. electric juice left. I guess being gentle on the throttle and playing with the regen paddles helps a lot because of it I gain substantial ev kms in the process
@@vivekpanwar1 Also, the 60kms “as tested “ range must be probably done with 7 passengers on board. Mitsubishi designed it for 7 passengers, therefore it must have been tested carrying the weight of 7 average passengers. My humble opinion
@@GodSaveThePhilippines0821 The performance suffers in the cold weather (as with all EVs/PHEVs) so I think it may be leaving a bit of a margin for winter conditions as well. Nice to see it overperforms and underpromises!
@@GodSaveThePhilippines0821 I did additional testing with the speed and realized that I can get 80+ EV range in the city drive at average 70km/h speed. at 120km/h highway speeds the range drops to 55-60km.
Hi! I have owned a 2023 Outlander PHEV for over three months now. Here are some responses to this review:
1. We wanted an occasional 3rd row seat. It meets the need for kids.
2. The power is great. My husband has a Tesla. That’s a different animal.
3. I plug into a level 2 charger every night. I drive less than 35 mi per day. I just topped 210 mpg, because I’m not using gas! I have not grilled up since I bought the car. (It’s making me use up the aging fuel now, darn it)
4. As an “EV with a gas engine backup”, it’s wonderful! Just what I wanted.
5. Level 3 fast charger? Yes, they need to upgrade, however it would be arguably more expensive and require a much longer stop on a trip to spend 30 minutes charging at a premium price only for 40 miles. I think it makes more sense to just use up the charge from home and use gas on the trip. Again, everyone has a different use case.
6. It’s very comfortable and well appointed. Even my husband loves it.
7. Service: I guess we’ll see.
8. “ The Federal rebate is not available because the car is not made in the US.” But it is! My dealership told me about a loophole which allows you to lease the vehicle for a short while, which DOES enable you to get the rebate. I did it. I got the rebate off the selling price. I just switched over to a loan with no penalty or anything. Just a paperwork fee. I saved $7800 off the car! I was skeptical, but check around. It’s true.
We are happy, give our daily driving scenario.
If you don't mind me asking how did you switch from a lease to a loan? Was it a simple process?
Buying this vehicle was the best decision I have made. The plug-in hybrid technology is the best in its class, and other Japanese brands don’t even come close in terms of fuel economy and luxury for the price point. I am getting 2.9Le/100 km (over 3500km test) on mostly highway driving . I have been charging it regularly every night, the nighttime electricity cost is is 7.4¢/kWh in Ontario, which means I can charge it fully for $1.48 . As for the electric-only range, I am able to do 55-60 km at highway speeds. I can do 70 km if I drive at an average speed of 80 km/h and even 80-85 km if I drive at 60-70 km/h which is mostly city. Faster speeds deplete the battery faster. I also use innovative paddle drive in the city, which gives a better range.
Thats dope. I wouldn't mind having that. The only concern is charging cause I dont own a house so I dont know how much it would be charging in a location here in NY.
Interesting insight regarding charging costs in Canada. I live in South Australia, which is in the top three worldwide for most expensive electricity costs. I can charge between 12am and 6am for 8c a kWh, very similar to you. I have a 20kW PV and receive a 10 cent feed in tariff. As such, it pays me (a little) to charge from the grid rather than via PV. I have only have the Outlander a couple of days, but am suitably impressed after a 15 month wait.
Great, but it's not quite 7.4c. Add about the same for delivery and 13% tax (in Ontario) on top of that. About 17 cents total.
Btw, now its 8.7c, ~20total.
I bought my 2023 Outlander PHEV (SEL Premium) 2 weeks ago - local dealer had 7 Outlander PHEVs on the lot. I got it for $1,200 UNDER MSRP. I have driven 550 miles and still have half a tank of gas. 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 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 am frustrated by all the RUclips videos that do not share this critical information. I do not need a 3rd row, so I partially "fold" it. This opens up a HUGE, DEEP storage well. And, I can stack 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). Lastly, my home solar panels will be installed in 6 weeks. The Outlander PHEV is the PERFECT choice for me in 2023. UPDATE -- the local dealer now has 14 Outlander PHEVs on the lot and offering $1,250 off MSRP. www.mitsubishiofcolumbus.com/new/mitsubishi-outlander-phev-columbus.htm
Richard. Can you please tell me the actual average battery only km range you are getting in your New Outlander before it reverts to hybrid mode when the car senses the battery is depleted. Then can you tell me actual highway l/100 kms on hybrid with battery depleted. I would like to know from an actual user. Thanks.
@NoelRCrawford Averaging 43 on all EV power daily. Took a 300 mile road trip yesterday in "hybrid" mode, mostly highway at 70 mph. Got 29 mpg. Hope this helps.
@@richardneedles Thank you very much Richard. Very good figures indeed! It does help a lot. Beats EPA completely. You are in the US? What kind of driving was the 43 miles - mix city/highway or all city? The 29 mpg at mostly 70 mph, was the mode on CHARGE and was the battery depleted before driving? Sorry for more questions but who can one ask but a trusted EV owner in a new 2023 Outlander phev. Dealers will tell what buyers want to hear while actual owners tell it how it is. Thank you again.
@NoelRCrawford Yes. U.S. 43 miles were city driving, getting regen from braking in stop and go traffic. I have kept Outlander in "Normal" drive mode. Have used "1 pedal" mode only a couple of times, mainly just to play with it as I learn all the Outlander PHEV features. Also, the highway miles yesterday were in strong headwinds as major wind storm was in my area.
@@richardneedles Ever so grateful for your detailed response! Keep in touch and let me know any more info you would like to share. I'll let you know, if you'd like, my experience with my Outlander after it arrives mid month and I use it a bit.
The Hybrid on the Outlander is excellent ! Love the way it drives with so many options and interior refinement. Plus it’s made in Japan ! I bought a 40th edition love it !
You also can't get the Rav 4 Prime in a bunch of states including mine. Rav 4 Hybrid has a huge wait for the top trims. I went with the Outlander and am very happy with it so far. Among the other things that are better compared with the Rav 4 are more comfortable seats with power passenger seat available in top trims, better interior over all, more room, and better off road due according to most. I do agree with all the points made in the video for the Rav 4 over the Outlander as well though. The Outlander MPG after electric is gone is way worse at 26. For me, I do enough regular around town driving to more than make up for this, and I don't have to deal with fast charging network growing pains or range anxiety on longer trips. Our dealer situation in Seattle area is pretty good too. My biggest complaint was that I hate those chrome boomerangs on the front end. I had those redone in black and it looks great now. Great video, thanks!
Forgot to mention, I am getting about 45 miles of electric range running in mild winter (~40 F) with heated seat and steering wheel turned on with two adults. Turning on the heater drops this by about 5 miles. When it was warmer I was getting upward of 48 miles. This is tested, not just looking at the reported range on the display.
@@jmbtlastname1322 Thanks for sharing. It is a bit colder where I am in Ontario, so there's no way I could get 45 miles of EV range. 30-35 is about all I could get, but I could see it doing far better in the warm months.
@@jmbtlastname1322 , which dealer in seattle did you buy your vehicle from.
@ddanda449 we are on the east side, so we got ours from Gamblin in Renton.
I recently purchased a 2023 regular outlander, and I don't feel the engine week at all. It's pretty strong specially when I have to get into a highway. And about the third row is perfect for 10 or 12 year old kids. Even my 15 year old son tested it, he is 5'8" and it was good for him too. I'm really happy with it.
Hey!! I just got a outlander, I was impressed with the guarantee and price is definitely more affordable I was going for highlander limited but the Mitsubishi did the outlander like the highlander platinum , all futures and even more, thank you for this review I feel like my money is totally worth it. Love the interior and the speed limit features reflected in the panoramic front glass.
The RAV4 Prime is also significantly louder inside and for those in cold winter climate geographies, the cablegate issue still hasn't been resolved.
I own a 2023 prime and the cablegate issue really pissed me off
Their fix is a temporary patch but they're acting like they fixed it for good.
Furthermore they increased the warranty on that cable but only for the regular hybrid, not the Prime, even though it's the same cable.
I'm on the waiting list for an Outlander PHEV.
@@Johnsmith69448 Yeah, I rejected an early delivery on a 2023 prime because they wouldn't give me straight answer on whether or not they would include the cable on the 8 year hybrid warranty. If it's supposedly fixed, what's the harm? I left my deposit with them for now but thinking of buying the Outlander as well. I saw some latest numbers showing the Outlander PHEV outselling PRIME almost 10 to 1 in Canada over the last few months.
@@joe97nsxprime is still better than the outlander because it's gas engine is more efficient. The only reason the outlander sells more is because of supply of outlander in Ontario
The Rav4 engine is better. But I wouldn't say the Rav4 is the better car.
My friend has a 2018 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV. I was surprised how well it is working and its TCO.
I always do consider Consumer Reports reliability surveys and TCO statistics when purchasing cars, thus I have/had excellent Mazda, Lexus, Toyota, Honda, Suzuki, Peugeot cars, but also German, Swedish - now Chinese -, Italian, American, Korean lemons.
we have ordered Outlander 2023 phev gt-p here in BC, Canada
I drive a '20 Rav4 Hybrid and was secriously looking at this as my next rig (of course I use that term loosely!). Thanks for this great review!! 😃
These are selling for $2k below msrp and there are over a dozen in my state of Ohio. Meanwhile the RAV4 Prime are $5k over msrp and impossible to find.
The regular Outlander offers the best value in its class. Its not at all underpowered, has a smooth ride and is very quiet inside unlike the old looking RAV4. Plus its made in Japan and offers 10 years of Power train warranty (engine + transmission) which is again the best in class. So there is no issue of reliability.
You just need to use hybrid mode on motorway ONLY. Then you get 6.5l/100 with a fully flat battery. Also, EV range is very understated ...It easily get +90km
We have owned 6 outlanders throughout the years, they have the best 4wd systems. Living in the northeast, snow does happen. Not a problem with Mitsubishi.
Here in Ottawa-Gatineau there are 4 Mitsubishi dealerships and 6 Toyota ones. Not that far off. Certainly better than the 3 that Subaru have.
Great Review! Very comprehensive!
Mits dealership support network is a big concern in Western Canada
I have the 2022 Launch Edition and LOVE this vehicle. If I ever get a good deal to get a PHEV, I’m in and hope to keep it until an EVO option comes. Mitsubishi did a GREAT job on this vehicle.
The closest Mitsubishi dealer to me is in two different states. Also, 26 MPH in hybrid is awful. The clear leader is the Toyota RAV4 Prime, but you can’t find one and if you can you pay well over MSRP. The best alternative PHEV in the Compact SUV class would be the the Hyundai Tucson or Kia Sportage.
The chademo is most likely for it's v to l capability for Mitsubishi's dendo house project
So it does 26 mpg when the battery is completely empty and goes into hybrid mode, but what if you don't deplete the battery completely by using 100% EV mode until it's empty before switching to hybrid? What mpg does it get if you begin a journey with a full battery and keep it in hybrid mode to begin with?
I'm from a warm climate of NZ. But as an owner of the new gen outlander phev for over 10 months, I will share with you what I know.
On our average daily commute, we get an average of 50 miles on pure EV mode.
On long journeys, we put battery on SAVE mode, and this puts the vehicle on Hybrid, and we get an average of 36mpg.
The road handling of the new outlander phev is absolutely right up there in the suv segments, and the snow and terrain capabilities are also right up there with the top competitors, if not better.
The reliability speaks for itself as Mitsubishi has been by far the longest PHEV manufacturer since 2013.
*40mpg
@@davidyang577 40 mpg?? That is excellent! I don't know why reviewers focus on the low mpg when the battery is completely empty. Thank you for this information.
@@Vertignasse82 MPG reduces to 30MPG when the battery is drained, that's why I don't advise to drain the battery, rather when driving long journeys save the battery for going through towns or before the end of your final destination.
The ICE has to work harder when the battery is drained is because it has to power the electric motors while charge the battery at the same time to keep the buffer on the battery.
@@davidyang577 Hey David, that's really awesome to hear. Can you please share your experience & MPG for Recharge mode?
Shari, thanks for the review.
Constant rumors of going out of business in north america and zero dealer support are enough reasons to stay away from this brand. The only Mitsubishi i would buy is pajero.
I have ordered one. I had ordered an Ionic 5, but got tired of waiting for it and because charging infrastructure is so lacking, I cancelled my order. I ordered a GT Trim, so it will take a bit of time to arrive, but not as long as the IONIC 5.
Sorry for asking but did you order it in Canada? If yes how long is the wait? Thanks
@@denisG. actually I have an update! I ordered the car in Mississauga Ontario, from Erin Mills Mitsubishi. It was the end of January. Last week, on Wednesday, the dealership called and advised me that my car was on its way and should arrive sometime late this month or early April. I've been to the dealership to complete all the paperwork and contacted my bank so i have the funds available for when I need them.
@@vap57 was there any markup over msrp? Any deals? I'm in the same area
@@dat604 …no, there was no markup. BTW, I picked the car up on March 28th and am really enjoying it so far.
@@denisG. …update. I picked up the car on March 28th and have been quite impressed with it so far.
I bought one the plug in Toyota is not available in Australia besides Mitsubishi have a long history of getting this to work. In Australia one dealer drove a phev across Australian in the desert, over 4000kms without issues and this is normally considered 4WD territory. The dealership I bought this from are keen to have a good relationship with this car. I think it might be a good buy.
Mitsubishi car always number one best driving performance advance technology modern futuristic design
Besides on paper about the EV range, do you have the test proof that the Rav 4 does have a longer ev rage in real life?
Also, why do you say the Rav4 is better only based on two things? Are you suggesting perhaps the outlander out do the rav4 in every other way?
If you are going to do a review comparison of these two top selling SUVs, please do it like a professional and not like a half ass amature opinion, OK
Charge Mode makes more sense if you take into consideration that you have the equivalent of 2 Tesla Power Walls built into the car. You can rock up to an off-grid campsite with all the 240v AC power you need. Also for some Euro cities that have different tax/access for EVs - charge up on the motorway during your commute, and drive all day in the city on EV mode.
I wish they gave the option for 3rd row or full spare
Mitsubishi seems to have a better reputation here in Oz
Also,to best of my knowledge, RAV4 Prime is only available in North American markets. Outlander is gaining a huge market worldwide. How is that for a mediocre brand or network? Mitsubishi Outlander is without doubt the most valued PHEV in Australia and most markets. Particularly if you go for the higher trims. Mitsubishi is even bringing more specs to the base level in 2024.
Great video, do you still considering this a great vehicle? What about the 2024?
I dont have garage to plug it in. Do you think it is still economical to own one? Maybe the regen braking would make a difference. I am thinking of trading in my Outlander 22 GT (Gas) for the PHEV version. I drive more or less 61km to and from my work (highway/ city). Do you think the regenerative thing will make an impact in recharging the battery? Ty
Any body knows if the outlander qualifies for any rebates in the USA?
Hopefully I’m getting my outlander this year 😊😊😊
Great Video but in the end I would say RAV 4 is better but it is only a 5 seater . I believe this the best available option in PHEV 7 seater SUV currently.
Glad that I will buy a fully loaded 2023 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV.
Msrp or with discount?
@@akhere07ignore him. He is a bot. I saw his message on all mitsubishi outlander reviews.
IDK why this brand gets so much hate like they're as reliable as any other Japanese car out there if taken and maintained well.
I am almost confident that your mother and father cousins. To compare Mitsubishi to Honda and Toyota. It’s like saying I play basketball better than Michael Jordan.🤦♂️
Go buy a Mitsubishi and see how long it lasts
@@TimPool-b8z We have one actually for almost 20 years and no issues, CVT is as good as new, the engine smooth, the interior has no rattles at all. Even my neighbor is a Mitsubishi fan, he has 3 Mitsubishi's and no issues at all. The new Tundra has engine issues, some Corolla has CVT issues, some hybrids has cable gate issues, some Tacoma has build quality issues as well, the Subaru Ascent has issues, the new Bronco has engine issues, Hyundai has a lot of issues like 🔥🚒.
@@rapide12345 🤣🤣 you’re a liar name the car that you own
@@TimPool-b8z No, just because you don't agree with what I'm saying doesn't automatically mean that I'm a liar, also do you have any proof that I'm lying?
@@TimPool-b8z I own a 2007 Mitsubishi Lancer with a JATCO CVT and no issues, my neighbor has a Triton Pick-up, Mirage G4 and a Montero Sport SUV 2010/2018 and he said that he didn't encounter any issues major or minor issues, what he did is follow the maintenance, that's the key to having a reliable car, doesn't matter if it's a TOYOTA or not.
Servicing is really a problem! For those who are considering - In Canada, this car requires oil change every 5 months, which I have never seen in the past…
This car hasn't a gearbox, it is just a clutch, so no problem with CVT.
It even does not have CVT. It has fixed one gear. Low speed is driven with only electric motors.
I have a question. When you charge the vehicle then how long it can go on hybrid mode. I mean can it go on hybrid mode until the fuel tank empty.
Yes Hybrid mode until no fuel.
Shari I have a question about the warranty. Does Mitsubishi warranty cover enough or should one get the extended warranty that they want to sell you on day one?
I think Mitsubishi's standard warranty is enough. Just make sure to maintain it properly and keep all service records. Mitsubishi loves to find any way they can to escape covering a warranty claim.
@@carhelpcorner Thank you very much. That’s what I needed to know.
@@carhelpcorner, the same with Lexus, Toyota, Mazda warranty (from my own experience). And trying to save money is normal for any business. Why should they cover owners' stupidity?
Mitsubishi Outlander plug-in hybrid, Kia Sportage hybrid, Ford Escape hybrid, and RAV4 hybrid which one is better over bumps smooth and comfortable drive, please? Thank you 🙇
Outlander is smoothest of those to my understanding.
Tucson/Sportage best in hybrid, Outlander is best in phev
Hello Shari, I have decided to go for this vehicle,however wanted to ask if it makes sense to buy a 2023 or go for the 2024..any significant changes coz the price is up by around 1250 or so here in ontario..keeping the car for long time..please let me know..trims r between le and sel..no deals as such but was offered a 750$ discount..
The 2023 model has mostly carried over to 2024 with few changes. The price has gone up a bit, but you are getting a vehicle that is one year newer so it is worth it.
outlander is best option with good price
this dude is clearly getting a cut from Toyota, some of us want to charge at 80% in an hour or less pal Chademo adapter or not, not 8+ hours like your "favorite" RAV4 Prime
Thanks. My 2021, have range of 15 Km/l
Would be good without the canada/usa lawsuit because the battery system isn't good for winter time
You forgot to talk about the rav4 prime cablegate .
Shhh 🤫
Toyota No Like this topic
Also pleqase review 2023 outback [2.5 non -turbo]
I have a 2019 Mitsubishi PHEV Outlander but am not going to upgrade to the 2023 because of the MPG is not good and the gas tank is small even at the 2023 model.
Loved my U.K. Mitsubishi PHEV. After 7 years I was ready to buy another but Mitsubishi stopped selling in the U.K. Not sure why. No have a VW ID Buzz 😄
Shari…would you suggest the Outlander over the Kia Sorento PHEV?
Definitely Outlander PHEV. Much smoother and more well proven hybrid system. If you need 3 rows, it also might be worth waiting to check out the new Mazda CX-90 PHEV.
@@carhelpcorner thanks! About to order the Outlander PHEV...when does the Mazda hit the market?
@Car Help Corner when is that mazda coming to Canada?
@@akhere07 …it should be here any day now!
My understanding is that this vehicle does qualify for the tax credit. Am I wrong?
I dont think so. Just because it is made in japan and not in the usa.
Just lease it and it will get the Tax Credit
Hello Shari, thank you for this video! Is the Outlander gt plugin worth buying or should I wait for the Mazda cx-70 plugin that is supposed to go on sale in October? Also, what do you think about the resale value of thé Outlander in a few years? Thanks!
CX70 will be more or less same as CX60 in Europe. Mazda is more sporty with harder suspension but has issue on transmission now that it has jerky shifts. Of course some might like it but Outlander is buttery smooth in comparison.
Man iam debating between the kia sportage hybrid and the PHEV and the mitsubishi PHEV😮 i heard mitubishi giving good deals
my wife only drives 20 miles round trip about 3 times a week, maybe 50-70 miles the hole week.
If you are in cold climate, outlander has heat pump so you can drive EV mode in cold too longer.
Dear Sir thank you about you very interesting video! Here in Europe they say that owners of such cars don't charge them often so they drive without the extra power of the hybrid battery for various reasons! So they consume much more than they advertise! Is there a similar issue in USA and Canada! Do you think that a similar car with a diesel engine or a diesel hybrid plug in can have a better consume? It exists a model diesel plug in? Some years ago they started using upblue in modern diesel engines for having clearer emissions is this happening also there in your countries? I wish you can tell us how heavy this car is and the aerodynamic efficiency each car has because they have a big effect in consuming! The efficiency of 61 kilometers only with battery is theoretically? Because if is hot or cold weather or you drive fast or its not a city or a plain it may be worse is this true what is your opinion?
I found I get on average much better range. I read somewhere that they test with the rated max number of passengers' weight. Not sure if this is true, but with just my wife and I, we get around 48 miles in good conditions. Worst we had was freezing Temps and heat always running, which was around 34. I also read that people are not plugging in PHEVs on average as much as hoped, including in the US. They said this was especially true for vehicles with shorter ranges, which is understandable. I plug mine in daily and use mostly electric power. I went something like 1300 miles before refuling last time (at about 13.5 gallons), and that included a couple of longer range trips.
when you dont use the plugin system , the regular hybrid and gas consumption is 12L/100KM . how did you get 8 and under !!!!
To use the third row, you need to move first row seats forward too. Not just the second row.
I placed an order for both in Dec 2022, Toyota quoted up to 10 years 🙄, Hyundai quoted 18 months.
Any idea what the wait times might be now?
It can never be better than a toyota bec its a mitsubishi
TIMELINE: 4:20 - 9L / 100KM? 2015 GMC YUKON can achieve 8.7 L / 100KM with the original MICHELIN ENERGY SAVER TIRES. Yukon with a 5.3l active fuel management engine. As for the MICHELIN ENERGY SAVER A/S new model you're best would be 9.7 / 100 KM. Not impressed with the PHEV, it should be much better.
We've owned this new gen outlander phev for over 10 months. Now, we get about 78mpg on daily commutes with overnight charges and about 40mpg on long journeys.
I've done 3600kms with my outlander, in city without visiting the fuel pump. Put your GMC next to that!
Hi sir, my humble request is can you show us for BYD EV vehicle and fisker EV vehicle please.
I think I've seen less than 10 new outlanders on the road since 2021. No one will buy 37k mitsubishi
The sales jumped when Mitsubishi introduced the new Outlander lmao so clearly people are buying them.
@Rapide So who is buying the new outlanders? I rarely see one where I live.
@@jjrrt554 there are other countries and places where the Outlander sells, the Outlander PHEV is the world's best selling PHEV.
Please correct your facts one of the highest sold PHEV car in North America atleast !
Here in Victoria Canada I see at least 10 new Outlanders daily. I've spoken to many people some of them have 2015 2016 Outlanders and they love them and they would buy a new again. Also according to the few people I've spoken to who own the Outlander say the service in Victoria is even better than most dealerships.
Why are you comparing a 7 seater Outlander with a 5 seater Rav 4? It is like comparing apples and oranges. If someone decides to buy a 7 seater it is because they need a bigger car with more capacity for cargo or more seats. So they won't think of a 5 seater!
Bc those 2 seats don't fit anyone besides dogs.
Mitsubishi is way much better than Honda, Nissan, Kia and Toyota.
Aside of the hideous fascia, it's not a bad car on paper. Resale blows, service is hard to find, and since my dad was a fighter pilot in WWII, my dad would reach out from the grave if he knew that I was driving a car built by the same company that made the (Mitsubishi) Zero Fighter Plane!
Given its roots, I'm guessing your dad probably wouldn't approve of a VW either!

I have a feeling the resale on a PHEV will be much better...everyone wants one these days, and gas prices will inevitably go up and up again and again.
Islandon22, That's why I've named mine Zeke (Pronounced Zekee) The engineering is first rate, just like the Zero which was ahead of its time. The ICE is virtually imperceptible except when pushing the to the limits. People complain about the ChaDemo fast charge, what the forget is the THIS vehicle can be your home battery backup...Nobody (Toyota this means you) does that. The cost of 2 Tesla Powerwalls ($23K USD) , here you have a vehicle AND you have a system that can power your home for up to a week . Check out the Mitsubishi Dendro House We have solar panels on the roof, i charge during the daytime as much as possible
Mitsubishi motors is separate from mitsubishi industries now. They sold it to renault nissan a few years ago
I wonder why Japanse manufacturers always manage to design so fugly cars? Like those big holes in the front of this car.
the only reason I am not buying this car is the low towing capacity, only 1500 pounds
Most hybrids suck at towing aside from the bigger ones like the Toyota Highlander and new Grand Highlander
@@carhelpcorner true, on top of that the tow rating on north american cars is usually much lower than in other markets ie australia and europe even though its identical engine/transmission combo.
santa fe, sorento, sportage should easily be rated the same as highlander but only get 2000 lb rating.

Does this have the shitty Jatco CVT transmission?
The PHEV has a Single Speed Trans-axle Transmission.
Definitely no Jatco CVT. The PHEV doesn't really have a transmission. It operates like an EV that way.
CHAdeMO? Really?
I own a Mitsubishi outlander SLE 2016 because I had no option to get a better SUV. I drove 😢it almost 5x a week and now have >135K it started to fail after 6 years. Now I just recently fully paid and thinking of looking for another SUV. It has a lot of issues particularly on its air conditioning unit. I do not care to go and slave myself again on paying another auto loan rather than going to arduous repairs cost that it will not practical at all.
Your Outlander is still under 10 yrs or 160k warranty, why dont you call the Mitsubishi !!!
Yea warranty of 10years?
@@akhere07 Do you really own one, how come you do not know?
@Gerard Ferry no I don't own and looking at it as one of options to buy so asked
Toyota, Honda, Mazda, Subaru. Only brands I will buy.
Never Hyundai, Kia, Mitsubishi.
Rented a Nissan Altima on a trip to Canada and really loved it. But not confident of owning long term.
While you are right generally speaking, in the PHEV category the Outlander is a champion.
One of my best friends has one with about 110'000 miles, 5-years old, great mpg, very comfortable, with zero issues. I had to admit the truth after I recommended him not to buy it. But later, based on his experience I checked the statistics and the Outlander is top of his category.
My conclusion: there should be no brand addiction. However, being Japanese is a strong indication of higher reliability and lower TCO, even for less reputable brands like Suzuki, Nissan or Isuzu. And yes, for long term, Hyundai/Kia/Genesis are a wrong choice, just like the German or Chinese commies' cars etc.

Sorry folks. Hard pass on this one. Nobody likes them. Tiny service network, warranty issues, reliability concerns, and no resale interest. Ill informed and naive buyers might opt for it.
The last great Mitsubishi product was the Zero. And it was a plane.
Automobile devices are massively expensive in 2023 with an average price of $57,000 or an entire years salary. Nobody will take that risk on a massive investment. (Also the worst investment anyone will make in a lifetime). 👎🏼
I wouldn't touch or recommend any Mitsubishi, but this is the ONLY one I would actually consider if you really want a PHEV SUV (and if you have a good Mitsubishi dealer near by...big if). It was surprisingly impressive, and Mitsubishi's hybrid system seems to be very solid.

Engine gonna fail after like 60k miles
Yep
Mitsubishi has been building PHEV's since 2013, this actually shares an engine with the previous Outlander PHEV and it doesn't have issues.
This has a Mitsubishi derived 2.4L 4B12 N/A Inline-4 Atkinson Cycle Engine and it's been out for a while, I haven't heard any engine failures, engine seizing, engine fire stuffs like other cars out there. Also do you have proof about it failing at 60K miles? I'd take this tried and tested MIVEC engine over any Theta/Kappa/SmartStream engine all day everyday and the best part is that it's 100% made in Japan.
@@rapide12345 I would never consider buying any Mitsubishi.
Toyota and Subaru have much better reliability scores. (After Subaru got the head gasket issue fixed, they’ve been getting more reliable).
I have a friend who leases Mitsubishi’s for 3 years bc he told me that they break down a LOT after the warranty expires.
@@Doc1855 Not everyone is guaranteed to get a reliable unit, even some will get lemons, that's the case for every brand it doesn't matter if it's a Toyota or not, even the new Tundra has engine issues, Honda has oil dilution issues, Subaru has issues as well.
Statement that the power train is the Nissan power train worries me. Especially the Nissan CVT transmission has a terrible reputation.

That's only the non-hybrid. The PHEV is entirely Mitsubishi
nah...all for the Nissan CVT

Clearly you didn't watch the video, they don't use that transmission.
You could say it's the best thing since sliced bread, would never buy a Mitsubishi over a Toyota.
How much did Toyota pay you to say this?
@@gamingwitharlen2267
Nothing.
See I do a thing that your special needs self can't.
I look at reliability ratings and then wait for it.....compare them with other companies.
Thanks for making time to comment so soon after your gender reassignment surgery, though.
It was a precious little comment.
Most Mitsubishi’s fall apart before they hit 100K miles.
Wow, so it’s a Nisubishi? Well you know that the CVT will crap out as soon as it can.
First of all it doesn't have a CVT, instead, it has a Single Speed Trans-axle transmission, the PHEV system and the drivetrain in this new Outlander PHEV is all Mitsubishi, in fact, it shares some components with the old one, also it's not a Nisubishi, and lastly this new Outlander PHEV is made in Okazaki Japan.
@@rapide12345 That’s Not what Shari said in his review. He said that it uses the CVT from Nissan that has been proven to be problematic. Furthermore he said that Nissan was buying up more of Mitsubishi.
In the 90s Mitsubishi built some reliable vehicles, but their reliability has been slipping downward since the early 2000s.
Check out Consumer Reports and you’ll see the reliability records for Mitsubishi. It’s not pretty.
@@Doc1855 Nope, the one that uses a JATCO CVT is the non hybrid version, the PHEV doesn't use a CVT, also you might not know this but fun fact, Mitsubishi has been using JATCO CVT's since the 90's and that every car that they made that has a CVT transmission are all sourced from JATCO, let me mention all of them for you, the Lancer/Lancer Sportback, Mirage/Mirage G4, Outlander/Outlander Sport, and the Eclipse Cross. 80% of those cars that I've mentioned are all almost if not 10 years old, and they're proven to be reliable, of course it's not perfect by any means but that's the case to everyone, even a Torque Converter can fail, even some Toyota models also experience CVT issues, it also comes down to how the owner treats and maintains his/her car.
@@Doc1855 Nissan only owns 34% of Mitsubishi, they're not buying more of Mitsubishi, also older Nissan's has CVT issues but the newer ones are far better than the old ones, we still cannot judge it's long term reliability since they're still so new, maintenance also is one of key to make your car last longer.
@@rapide12345 At the end of the day it’s my money and I’d never buy a Mitsubishi.
Toyota’s and Subaru hold up better resale value.
And the reason why they hold up better resale value is bc they’re more reliable
What's worry about Mitsubishi, for me,,
1. Mitsubishi Motor almost went bankrupt before Renault bailed them
2. Mitsubishi share parts with Nissan
If i need a car and have choice between Nissan, Mitsubishi or Renault,,
i won't buy a car

Renault didn't bail them out. Mitsubishi corporation is one of the richest companies in japan. They don't need to be bailed out by a foreign company. Plus they are doing extremely well in southeast asia and the middle east, that's where they make the most profits.
Only the engine which rarely has problems, mainly the transmission from Nissan which this car doesn't use.
You lost me at Nissan cvt…
Love Mitsubishis. But NO, I’ll not buy it. Nissan CVT? 😮😝

the Nissan CVT is only in the ICE version. PHEV is entirely Mitsu.
That interior is so dark, kind of like Death Black. It’s Depressing and Boring. 🤮💀
It won top 10 interiors of 2021, if you don't like black then there's a white/grey color option, then if you want a fancier color then there's a black with orange accents and stitching, there's also what you call color grading in a video, in person, it looks so much brighter.
