- This is the new Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV. The Outlander is one of the most popular plug-in hybrids in the UK, but given this new model looks so similar to the previous generation, has enough changed to make you want to consider it? Join Mat as he takes you on a tour of the new Outlander PHEV to see whether the changes are more than skin deep!

00:38 - Sorry to say UK fans, the £2,000 government grant is no longer available! 😞
Fuck it
Eh,still does not make it expensive.
Can you please review the Grandland X !!!
carwow I your videos very much sir ❤️💯👌. Good luck 😉 and keep it up with more Good spirits. ✌🏻
Hi, carwow. I have a suggestion. Would be great if you could test the lights as well. Since most people do drive at night at some point, it would be nice to know how the car tested is to drive at night. The lights are one of the most important security features on a car, sadly usually overlooked. Thanks in advance.
Swapped to this after having three Range Rovers over the last ten years. Can honestly say it's the happiest I've been with a car for a very long time. I do a daily short commute and tend to do small local journeys, so am driving almost entirely on electric power. Currently getting around 750 mpg. That is not a typo. Where previously my fuel bill was creeping up to £300 a month in diesel despite low mileage, my electricity bill for car charging is around £30. Now combine that with cheap servicing, reliability, refinement of electric driving, full 4x4 capability in electric mode, cheap tyres, large boot, family friendly interior, sensible jumping height for dogs and being let out at junctions because people haven't made value judgements about you for your choice of car. Gives me a grin every time I drive it. If you do lots of long motorway journeys, or are absolutely wedded to prestige brands, then avoid this, you're probably better getting a modern diesel or petrol BMW/Audi. If you do lots of shorter journeys within a 15 mile radius and live somewhere that needs a 4x4 capable and reliable workhorse for a family, you could do a lot worse than putting this on a very short list.
why is this car not suitable to be driven on motorways? or its not comfortable compare to other suv's?
I'm in the process of buying my next car, and the outland phev has ended up on my shortlist for your reasons, it's definitely a choice of the head over the heart. Doesn't have luxury & styling wow of say a Lexus NX
@@sayednab I think the general wisdom is if you mostly do long journeys (well out of EV range for a PHEV) then diesels make more sense. Comfort wise I think it's very similar to what you'd get from a toyota RAV4 or honda CR-V but it's got nothing on say a lexus NX300 (but then it's a different price point)
@@godsakesjust leased the new body style SEL. $49k MSRP for $327 a month with $0 down
I spent a good 18 months researching EVs and kept coming back to this model, the Outlander PHEV.
I live in Central London and my daily commute is 14 miles. I can _easily_ do this on one charge.
Wife and I both turned 50 recently and have a lot more time than when the children were growing up.
We love traveling around the UK and France (my wife is French) and the Outlander is perfect for traveling.
If we have to get somewhere quickly or in an emergency we can just jump on the motorway and not even think about range..
However, for traveling around the UK we just tottle along avoiding motorways and take regular stops to visit quaint little places. We can just park up and put the car on charge and eek out loads of miles.
We use the Chademo fast chargers to get the car up to 80% in 20 mins, and then try to use the standard overnight charger to keep the battery in tip top shape.
We can also sleep in the Outlander...
With the seats down it makes a *Great* little camper, you'd be surprised at just how much space there is! Easily sleep 2 very comfortably as it's perfectly flat. The rear privacy glass is fab as it keeps out unwanted glances from passersby.
Some complain about the beeps and bongs from the various systems, not me! I'm a trekker and I feel like I'm piloting the Enterprise!!
I got the top spec one (I bought used, but with full dealer service history) so I could afford to do for the highest spec.
I got full leather, heated seats, adaptive cruise control, navigation, wireless audio, hill start assist, collision avoidance, lane departure warning - basically everything!
It drives silky smooth (suspension is just a tad too hard for my liking) and feels _very_ luxurious.
I switched to octopus energy as they have a great tariff for ev charging. I got an £80 joining bonus which is basically giving me free travel!
Some people say that it's the wrong car for motorway driving. I can see their point somewhat, diesel works out cheaper, *BUT* if you factor in parking costs, road tax, higher insurance, ULEZ and Congestion charges they work out *much* more expensive, by a wide margin. The government is cranking down on diesels anyway so they won't be worth anything when owners are forced to get rid of them.
I can second everything you say. We've had one for about 2 months. Didn't use any petrol form a month as the work house is easy battery range. Had to rescue a son in an emergency 100 miles away and you can just get in it and go. Took it to Scotland a week ago, that's a 500 mile trip each way for me. Even when the battery is flat it's interesting how much it scavenges from down hill and braking. So with a full car ... 4 large adults, boot full to bursting and a roof box (definitely on the max load limit) still got 45mpg each way?
@@black5f That's brilliant.
When the battery is 'flat' there is actually about 18% left in reserve. You then enter regular hybrid mode, just like a Prius.
The battery never actually gets depleted.
What I recently found is that you *can* use the air cooler/heater for your comfort. It's only when you use the Air Conditioner that it eats into the EV battery.
@@hongkongfuey6882 I think they are brilliant and very clever machines. 90% of journeys (which are short) on electric but still a prime mover. I have to add we did 160 mile round trip which was mostly single track road, very steep up and then very steep down, that was 81mpg. I'm really impressed with it. Even when "flat" it scavenges back everything it can get. It also drives extremely well, no lack of power and very steady on the tarmac. A couple of months on, the electric bill has risen a bit of course. Haven't worked that out yet. But still very impressed. We charge it just off an outside 13A socket. Very impressed. And that's from someone who has a '96 camaro sitting on the drive. 5.7 V8, being very careful on long journey 27mpg? Around 8 if your not careful ha ha! There's a reason she's got low mileage ;-)
Nice,
I'm riding a Audi q5 now but it has alot of issues and I dont trust it anymore.
I'm looking for a outlander now, standard some nice options and they are more practical than the q5.
Little bit of offroad use for hunting so I think this car will be ok.
I drive around 10km's a day so i think the electric mode will be a nice outcome!
This will save alot of money..
Dont know if the 'premium' feeling will get lost but that's a luxury thing.
It's not that pretty as my q5 not as fast, not as ergonomic but it will get you from a to b.
Practical and alot of space for a reasonable price.
Can't wait to get one.
I can lease the car from our business so I can ride it for cheap!
@Hong Kong I live in non ground floor flat but could probably stretch a cable down a flight or two / out a window without too many people noticing.. pref at night 😜
Would the battery life suffer if I use the rapid chargers a lot more often than the slower home mains charge.
Matt doesn't treat Matts very well

Matt will be next taking the Outlander PHEV dogging, perfect for silently creeping up to the woods and lay bys
Thanks for the warning, will watch another one.
I have the 2018 Mitsubishi Outlander GT here in the USA, and it's great. I went camping recently with my wife and we folded the 2nd 3rd row seat to make a cool bed with a folding mattress pad. I'm always having fun and enjoying my Outlander...it's worth the money!
Nice info, thanks. I am back and forth on the Toyota RAV4 but I really want a PHEV.
@@solarasfire I think you will like the PHEV Outlander. Check out the Mitsubishi website and you can see they have big warranty on their battery system. Don't forget the Outlander PHEV can charge itself through the brakes and engine. Also I think the 2019 can go a little bit further on a full charge and has a 2.4 liter engine with remote start from your phone...i think it's well worth it for the money
Ray A thanks! I am excited! But hate that I have to wait 4-5 months for it to get here. Lol
@@solarasfire yeah take your time. Rather you have the money and whatever else you need to get what you want than to compromise and get what you could when in a rush ha ha.... when you do get it, fate brought you to what you expect😉 try to get the brown interior leather...it looks pretty sweet with the red stitch trim...Check it out
Ray A I was thinking of red color and the black interior.
The Humping Rhino, followed by the unexpected backseat surprise 😂😂😂. Keep up the good work!
Mitsubishi Could've been Toyota today if they focused and developed like the others. in the 80s and early 90s they were so damn hot and reliable.

then Renault can and ruined that for nissan and mitsubitshi
@@AIDANPEREIRA yep otherwise they would be with competition with Toyota and Honda
@@mustansirtaher7653 they are in some segments internationally, especially nissan but in India cos of shit dealers they failed
While Im no fan of Mitsubishi my parents just recently got the diesel version of this and it's a decent car. The interior is boring but easy to live with, fuel economy is good for the size and the fact that the 4wd auto diesel version comes fully equiped for under 26500 pounds here in Sweden is a big plus. Alot of car for the money no doubt. Personally I would have paid the extra 1,5k and got a simillar equiped kodiaq if I was hunting cars in that price range though.
Gooztr E my parents said that it’s a lot of car for the money too they are quite big inside aren’t they.
Such satisfying door closing sound! I love it.
That back seat struts looks more fragile than my emotional state 😞
Nuhan Hidayat good one 😂
Have a hug, Pal. Man hug.
Nuhan Hidayat 😂😂😂
I love you man, ha ha ha ha, just kidding! No one loves you, you are HATED!
Your sence of humor is top notch, for that reason I love Mitsubishi Outlander.
Best.
That interior really is outdated, brought up to date kicking and screaming
had one of these back in 2017...can't let the fuel go bad because the car makes you drive in petrol if it has been in the tank too long without using it.......the 2.0 petrol did 40mpg on petrol alone on average.....the paint was a bit thin though and chipped easily at the front
Hey!
What about reviewing the 2019 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross seems to be pretty interesting. Thanks
Remember when mitsubishi made cool sporty and interesting cars that looked awesome
Those were the days
AstroGaming yeah sad times i loved Mitsubishi its a crying shame
Ben Crosbie it just looks so bad, i still have a 2008 lancer, not an evo, just a plain lancer and it still looks so good, i could park it at an motorshow and it would look like a brand new model, but this ugly outlander, the horrendous eclipse cross, all of them look like mitsubishi hired the designers from toyota ant told them to use more chrome
You mean the Grandis?
I had a V6 FTO. Was a great car.
I still miss my 2001 Mitsubishi Galant 2.5 V6 slightly modified... Wish I never sold it.
Matt doesn’t treat cars very well.
Japan cars especially.
Matt show car some respect. If don't don't contact the show. You act like crap
Santhosh Rkjjkjjjh geez where's tht coming from?
It runs on hybrid mod when the battery is low, so even for long journeys you will still save significant amount of fuel compare to a normal petrol.
Because the power can regenerate base on road conditions. For examplec
' when you go up a mountai it may chew through all your energy but coming back down one had situation where it nearly fully charged the battery.
All in all, driving it without a heavy foot on long trips, it's still as fuel efficient if not better than a small 2l petrol hatchback.
Hi matt keep up the great videos. Could you do a seat ibiza in depth review?
This car is a beauty to drive. Recently returned from a trip from Auckland - Hastings and back and wow. Very smooth. Great Hybrid drive. Lots of space. Actually my dream car.
You have low aspirations
What is it like replacing the battery?
I was guessing how long before Matt would say something like: "It is not as good as the VAG equivalent". And boom, here it is 58 seconds.
The original PHEV's used to manage the fuel in the tank. They'd force the engine on if it didn't get more than 10 or 20L every 6 weeks (don't quote me on those numbers) so if you did a lot of short journeys and didn't go to a petrol station, the engine would eventually run during every trip to get the fuel through the system.
very useful on the MPG data - thank you!
6:51 LOL! I'm sorry but that was really funny!
If you own a PHEV and don't drive far/fast enough to use the engine i'd recommend switching manually once in a while I've done an oil change on one and it literally looked like milk because he never used the gas engine
Hi Matt, thanks for the great review. Can you add a special 'Road & Cabin Noise' link like your boot space section? This is a real marker of quality and is even more important with hybrids and electric vehiclea. Thanks!
I've just got a 2020 Exceed and love it 👍
Hey Mat, I would love to watch a Q&A video from you :)
My questions would be:
1- What car is your daily driver ?
2- If you could afford any car, which one would you want and why ? :)
Why don’t manufacturers put USB plugs up by the mirror so you can plug a satnav or dashcam in to stop having cables hanging down
Because most people don't want a satnav in the middle of their windscreen.
Last year I bought a 2020 Outlander Phev that was a demo with 2600km that only cost $41990 in Perth W.A. This is by far the best car I've owned including a 2018 Prado GXL & 2020 Hybrid Camry that was too small & not a good family car unlike the Phev. You hardly ever need fuel & lately have been charging for free at my work, local shopping centres & beach carparks which is a phenomenal feeling. I owned a 2014 Outlander Phev for 4 years & regretted selling it so now am stoked to have the newer model with slightly larger 2.4l engine & bigger 13.8kwh battery. Once the battery is dead I still have over 550km of range so is the best of both worlds & you can travel to regional areas without range anxiety. The instant EV torque is addictive, super quiet, quite fast & the regenerative paddles are unbelievable especially going down steep hills, approaching traffic lights or when someone locks up in-front of you. I have 20 solar panels on my roof & charge mostly in the arvo with a home charger I installed. We rarely get electricity bills - mostly get credits. My commute is 25km each way so usually get home with half a battery (at 0.0L per hundred) or if I didn't charge at work a few kms of EV range remaining. Once you drive a PHEV you realise just how good they are & don't want to go back to an ICE or hybrid car again.
What home charger brand / model did you install?
Thanks
Matt, please review the latest one as soon as you get grip on it. Thanks! Happy New Year to you & your team.
Matt saying, “humping thing” and then the car rocking back and forth has got to be one of the funniest things I’ve seen on TH-cam! 😂
I've done 24,000 miles in mine in only 5 months, mostly motorway miles. My average mpg is 45, sure it's a long way off the official figure but not bad at all for a big heavy car. I do plug it in every night though. I've got a colleague with a 2.0lL diesel Merc GLC and he only gets 44mpg.
So you have to plug in every night just to get 1mpg better than a 2.0 diesel?

Hey mat..., I love your review I won't miss you're updates .... But will u do a review about Evo ?
I love the 5 annoying things part😂😂 best reviewer matt🙌
These sell well in Norway. Low CO2 emission cars are taxed way less than others here.
In normal use the CO2 is actually around 145kg/100klm when the battery gets run down.
Same in the Netherlands. And now Mitsubhishi announced that they will leave Europe...
The car really feels old - and I own one. You are buying this car because you want a large 5 seater SUV with AWD that is incredibly economical for short journeys & frequent charging. People hate Mitsubishi these days, but name me another plug-in hybrid SUV this size with AWD that can be had for this much money.
Outrage coulture. People just want to be noticed, rarely bring anything sensible to the conversation.
This car is a tool. For some, it will be a good option. I am looking for a AWD vehicle, PHEV. This is the only one in reasonable price point.
I have the 2019 outlander petrol version and it's amazing. I got 1k of extra items for free cause i bought it before a certain date, and it seems so much better than the phev cause it's soo practical and still very fuel efficient.
I've got a 2019 petrol Outlander and it has spent more time on the back of recovery trucks and back at Mitsubishi more then I've driven the thing absolutely rubbish
6:36 That was one of the good things in the previous model's video, and I think it's not the end of the world to just put a seatbelt on. Certainly there are more instances when people drive on the road without seatbelts than people trying to move their car a bit.
Pls review Suzuki SX4 S-Cross 2018! Thanks!
They sell a version with satnav because i was in it yesterday test driving
Holy crap! That rear seat folding puzzle is exactly like the setup in an old '98 Ford Explorer sport I had!!

@@harshwardhansaini hi, yeah it is pretty reliable and economical SUV. I drove 50 thousand km and haven't spent a single penny on any repair, apart from regular maintenance (oil+filter change). If you are thinking to buy one, I would suggest you go for the upper model that has hill stop (or brake stop) function as well as rear passenger AC/heat fan vents, which comes in later model, 2017 or 2018 onwards. All the best!
@@amughul Thank you so much ❤️
@@harshwardhansaini welcome, and happy holi 😊❤️
“Depending on your viewpoint” you cheeky reviewer 🤣
I brought the 2015 model just before the facelift version and i so got the midrange model with Sat nav ect...nice and big car and great high driving position but what has shocked me is the build quality..over slightly rough roads the amount of vibrations and rattles you hear from the rear of the car is shocking...not what i expected from a Japanese manufacturer
Im just glad that Mitsubishi painted the roof liner black. Some more pricier and premium brands don't even have that! Nice to also see that they added rear air-vents for rear passengers!
How about the Mirage or ASX please?
Or the Shogun Sport, or the Eclipse Cross,
The petrol GT model (3L V6) of the outlander is much better than this I guess. Even the interior and features that come with it looks better and is more powerful and quite nice to drive although you stop at gas stations pretty often 😄 Still love my V6 Outlander 👍
hi Mat... can you do the review of renault talisman please

Watching a review of a car which I don't like and have zero interest in. Shows how good of a presenter Matt is.
The editor and scriptwriter too
I wish more manufacturers made PHEV's. If you only have one vehicle, it lets you get the benefits of an EV in town, and an ICE on trips. Who wants to bother charging your car on vacation trips? This is the solution to range anxiety for Electric Vehicles.
Love the humping rhino Matt.
I laughed out loud!
😂🤣😂
Shortlist?! Why am I surprised?
I honestly don't think Mitsubishi has ever made a car without a cheap looking and feeling interior. Modern Mitsubishi are a sad, uninspired company.
Grandis
Yaa yaa...they sure are durable though!
they are absoulutely irrelevant as of now
Eclipse Cross is rubbish
Mitsubishi has no soul at all, I mean theyre still selling the same generation lancer that debuted a decade ago...
I have the 2017 one and there’s not much problem with the seats because we don’t fold them much and the battery takes very little charge in the winter and only 30 miles in the summer if your lucky
We had that infotainment screen in our Pajero rental car occasionally froze and needed a reboot.
In the Netherlands Outlanders are EVERYWHERE.....
Even here in phoenix AZ, they are very present. Maybe they will have decent enough revenue to make it more special inside and out, I do like the design, I just think it needs a boost in quality. Kinda like kia and hyundai did with their new SUVs.

mitsubishi finally added rear aircon vents. if mitsubishi listens to their customers more often, they would be in a much better place. i like the look of the outlander. the dashboard could use a little updating though. but the vehicle is solid.
The first time you made a review on a mitsubishi?

Hi did you have any plan for Mitsubishi shogun sport review
If only they brought back the evo
isn't this car is a bit large for city driving? where does the ev will be beneficial?
It is and their is very little benefit to the PHEV part. Matt mentions tax price in relation to business / company use. Companies bought the last car for their folks to use because of this then found out that using the thing for the day to day business transit wasn't saving them anywhere near as much they thought it would (Mitsubishi claim something like 130+MPG where as most real world long term vehicle tests were finding it to be closer to 50Mpg) better than most SUVs of that size but not exactly brilliant and certainly miles (pun intended) off what Mitsubishi claim it can do). Comically the car has a bigger engine than my and most other road cars at 2.4l but because it has a comical 30mile range electric motor (after five hours of charging) it qualifies for a rebate on the final price.
how does it stack up against rav4 from 2018 model. which one would you recommend?
I miss the reclinging rear seats that were in my old Space Runner. Shame the Outlander doesnt have a sliding door.
Personally I like the Outlander's Dash layout.
I like it, but if I had a lot of money (which I don't) I would rather a Panamera Hybrid.
No arm rest in the back?
There is ...
people that trash this car have never driven it. Period.
exactly
Peugeot 5008 much better period
@@Steve-cx3gy when there is a PHEV maybe but no it's not right now. Does look nicer
or they do it because its just another bland suv
Seriously? I’ve driven it heaps and it’s aweful. Noisy, plasticy, breaking and outdated. The interior is crap and the driveline is unreliable.
I have a MY 2018 model (as a company car) having replaced a MY 2014 model (company car). I agree with the point on 5 annoying things about the seat belt holsters being a pain in the arse when you're putting the seat bases back, it's really annoying! However, you can put the seats totally flat, not many other SUV's can. Also wish they'd update the layout for the driver, very old fashioned, totally agree. Must say I disagree with the other 4 (why even press the button to disengage the automated tailgate?! Just don't touch it Matt, close it normally if you want!) There are other problems with this car, such as the EMS not properly registering battery degradation, but still no real competition on the market with this car - I still like not using petrol, unless I need to drive Glasgow to Cornwall, which I do. What really puts me off is paint quality. It's very very thin and chips more easily than anything else I have owned.
Do you find the petrol is still OK once the battery has gone on your long trips? (Mpg) how many miles would you say you get until your on petrol? Do you also find the braking system charges the battery well enough to charge the batteries enough to get them back in use on a long journey?
Can you also test the electronic rear hatch for closing safety (would a kid get hurt)?
Japanese, thank you so much ^_^
It’s a shame that Mitsubishi is focusing more on pencils than cars.
I have the high spec model however I live in Finland and at around minus 13 degrees and below the EV battery won't work. At zero to minus 13 degrees the battery power is reduced by 50% so battery milage goes from 55km to around 26km on a full charge. But honestly most people are buying PHEV's here in Finland because of cheaper road tax, no diesel tax (4x4) and cheaper insurance. But the Outlander also comes with 4WD snow mode which is essential here in Finland for 6 months of the year as is the steering wheel heater and seat heaters. Lovely car overall though.
Can u do new gen phev outlander review, will be really helpful!!😃😀
