Thanks for the review! -- I bought my 2023 Outlander PHEV (SEL Premium) in Ohio (USA) 4 weeks ago - local dealer had 7 Outlander PHEVs on the lot. I got it 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 1,040 miles -- getting 72 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!
Got mine about 3 weeks ago, and already clocked up over 1000km. I had high expectations and they were all exceeded (even tho I only got the Aspire model ;)
Love it 😍 I mostly like how they didn't alter their design drastically and just kept their identity with a modern twist. I've always liked the shape of the SUVs. I really don't like the 'futuristic' robotic ones 😢
Corrections for this video, fast charging to 80% capacity in 38mins, takes longer to 100%, and the Power to Home and Power to Grid sounds great but basically no one can do it, it's only legal in South Australia and the one Charger that allows the function has now been discontinued with no idea on a replacement. So it's a pipe dream at the moment.
The only way to convert to full electric vehicles is to go ahead and get one. I got my first 14 years ago and now I'm on my 5th, I do mostly long journeys in remote areas with small country roads & I have never suffered from range anxiety, so take the plunge folks. My longest journey was 800+ km & I do a lot of trailer towing with my Skoda Enyaq IV80x.
We are "hybrids", too ... getting our energy from sweets & fats. So, if our Creators believed in hybrid solutions for mobility ... it's smart that us, too ... to follow the same path. So, yeah ... a PHEV is the best option. 👍👍
Nice, but I can't help feeling this is the sort of tech that should have followed close on the heels of the Prius. It has its place. but I feel it will be fast eclipsed.
Let's do the maths has a price premium of about just over 20k over the standard na eng outlander 22 thousand will by a hell of lot of fuel will take about 8 years to break even but the bulk of people don't hang on to there cars that long
Where I live the federal/provincial rebates drop the price to within about $4k. The fuel savings will pay that back in about 2 years. Even in the mid-term it's cheaper, and it's a more reliable and higher performance vehicle.
The only problem is that you have to pay our blood sucking government 2.5 cents for every kilometre you travel. Regardless of whether you drive in electric or petrol mode. That’s right a double tax on petrol (well triple actually). First GST 10% then the fuel excise at 47.7 cents and finally 2.5 cents for every kilometre.
Unless there is no charging option in your region, everyone should go full EV nowadays. Hybrids would have been good 15-20 years ago. In addition, this one still uses the (outside Japan outdated) Chademo as charge port standard. PHEV combine the worst of both worlds: if you're able to charge your car, which you have to otherwise you're not efficient in them, then you could easily go full electric and don't waste money maintaining the combustion engine and carrying it around for no reason. If you can't charge it, then you carry around a heavy battery, which will never be charged enough. So, for folks with no possibility to charge, go with the mild or full hybrid, everyone else: there is a decent EV for you out there. Don't be scared.
As Asian, we need 7 seats occationally going camping/off roading. There is no cheaper available EV car that cater to my usage. I have the Exceed Tourer PHEV for 2 months now and travelled 2200km with an average of 1.4L/100km usage. Usually charge every other night. I loved the ride & handling experience. It tailored fit on my needs.
Way to be so blinkered that you are unable to see other people have different use cases. EVs are an excellent solution for people who live in urban areas and don't want to go far out of the cities. However, rural charging infrastructure is no where near up to scratch to support everyone going EV. There is anecdotal evidence of various YT vids trying to drive long distance and occasionally they'll arrive at a charger that they cannot charge at because a) it's broken b) it's in use by someone else. Now add to that equation, 35-40C outdoor heat and a family with kids in the back. There is also anecdotal evidence (both on YT and in car forums) of people getting way better fuel economy than 1 day reviewers have been getting because they actually use the vehicle in the intended method.
@argent10k You didn't read my comment completely. The charging infrastructure was my very first requirement. Ask yourself: who talks and makes videos about it - people who had no issues or those few, who had? For instance, I never stranded on a charger. That's just a fact. If you deal with the subject and adjust to it a little bit, something like this almost never happens. It's also a myth to believe everyone has to charge at the same time. That's not how it works.
@@EdgarRenje There is enough evidence on both sides of the fence of the charging infrastructure conundrum. You missed the entire point in that your view is predicated only on YOUR own experience which is not going to be true for different people. By flatly discounting the PHEV as a 'worse of both worlds' and 'waste of money' if you can charge it regularly, you discount the other advantages that PHEVs have over regular EVs. Now I'm not discounting that PHEVs are generally considered transitory to help tide us over until we have adequate infrastructure and that battery tech reaches around 600km of all round driving to really compare to current ICE but the fact of the matter does remain that there are plenty of use cases and your comment simply denigrates and discounts other people because you can't seem to look past your own view. Some people may very well say that they only take a long trip once every two years and it's not worth buying something where you only use such a feature so rarely and go for a BEV but others may have different use cases and the PHEV fits very nicely in this regard.
@argent10k It's not just my view, it's literally doesn't make sense to buy something you only really need a few times. That's the overall problem in our society. We believe we have to be prepared for everything at any time, because something COULD happen. Do you also own a semi truck or a cruise ship, because you need that once per year? No, because that's not efficient. In addition, we don't have time to stick with tech like this, which doesn't really solve the big problem. Yes, in Australia it's an even bigger step to take, but that doesn't mean it's not possible. Force the people in charge to make it possible instead of rely on the status quo.

Great review from our American friends. Can you tell us how to drive a nuclear submarine ? We haven't a clue.😅
Got mine about 3 weeks ago, and already clocked up over 1000km. I had high expectations and they were all exceeded (even tho I only got the Aspire model ;)
@mvnorsel6354 Are the Kia boys stealing those too? 😉
The Rav4 Prime has a shit 4 wheel system anyways.
It's best suv
Love it 😍 I mostly like how they didn't alter their design drastically and just kept their identity with a modern twist. I've always liked the shape of the SUVs. I really don't like the 'futuristic' robotic ones 😢
Can't wait for my order! Great review keep up the good work :)
love the new look. good work mitsubishi
8:11 100 missed calls and 318 unread messages. DANG how can anyone stand to neglect their phone like this without developing OCD 😂😂😂
I am about to take delivery of an Outlander PHEV. Is HOEM still available for purchase?
Corrections for this video, fast charging to 80% capacity in 38mins, takes longer to 100%, and the Power to Home and Power to Grid sounds great but basically no one can do it, it's only legal in South Australia and the one Charger that allows the function has now been discontinued with no idea on a replacement.

I suppose to have watched , it's 3 motors, 2 on rear and 1 bigger motor in front.
Nice car. No a fan of Mitsubishi cars but doesn't looks bad and...where is Martine? 🤔
We are "hybrids", too ... getting our energy from sweets & fats. So, if our Creators believed in hybrid solutions for mobility ... it's smart that us, too ... to follow the same path. So, yeah ... a PHEV is the best option. 👍👍
i think this is the perfect suv to own. Is it reliable?
It's a Mitsubishi. Their engine is apocalypse proof
Nice review but nauseated with all the moving shots
But its not available in Australia for about 18 months so whats the point of showing us Jenny? 🤔
They send cars to review so people order or hold off buying another brand
I have no spare wheel anxiety.
Nice, but I can't help feeling this is the sort of tech that should have followed close on the heels of the Prius. It has its place. but I feel it will be fast eclipsed.
A lot of money to pay for a transition to EV
Great!
Now, where do I buy one?
Let's do the maths has a price premium of about just over 20k over the standard na eng outlander 22 thousand will by a hell of lot of fuel will take about 8 years to break even but the bulk of people don't hang on to there cars that long
what about the advantage of electric motor e.g faster and quiter car?
here is CA it’s like 10k diff plus we got 8k from gov rebate…. The 2k-3k diff give me better mpg and nicer car overall
Where I live the federal/provincial rebates drop the price to within about $4k. The fuel savings will pay that back in about 2 years.
Even in the mid-term it's cheaper, and it's a more reliable and higher performance vehicle.
Any updates on delivery time for these?
Only 3-4 months
The petrol version maybe, but not the PHEV. I have seen 12-14 months being thrown around.
The only problem is that you have to pay our blood sucking government 2.5 cents for every kilometre you travel. Regardless of whether you drive in electric or petrol mode. That’s right a double tax on petrol (well triple actually). First GST 10% then the fuel excise at 47.7 cents and finally 2.5 cents for every kilometre.
Disappointing to see that it is still using Chademo for DC fast charging.
Yup, Western Australia just spent 21 million on a charging network this vehicle can't use.
@@mattc9009 ooh can y please explain ,very interested
Because Chademo offers V2H and V2G
What's to explain? The WA EV network went with CCS2 and no Chademo. Square peg, round hole.
First!
someone buy this girls some pants. the knee area appears to have some extra wear points.
just get a model Y dam it, Lol 😬

ChadeNO…
Do Australian’s drive anything other than than electric or hybrid cars?
With the power grid they have it would be ridiculous NOT use electricity for commuting and transportation!
No, because Australians are smart people.
