- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 19 ธ.ค. 2018
- The Outlander PHEV is one of the world's most advanced plug-in hybrid cars, but that does not mean it has to be difficult to drive. You can either drive it the same as any other automatic vehicle or take control yourself and ensure you receive the maximum benefit from the amazing technology.
In this video TV personality Konnie Huq will take you through the innovative and intelligent systems in the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV and explain in simple language how to use them.
Join her as she takes us through a typical Outlander PHEV driving experience. She covers all the main features and modes you'll use when operating the vehicle. From EV and petrol engine range and the PHEV's 'leaf rating' to the specially calibrated modes for tasks such as towing, driving in the snow or EV priority.
So whether you are waiting for your new Outlander PHEV to arrive or interested in what the Outlander PHEV can do for you, this film will give you the answers you need.

Mitsubishi are really underrecognised for having this great option out there. They were (are) really ahead in their thinking. Thanks for doing this great video.
I have the 2017 model of this PHEV in Costa Rica, it is incredible. Simply the best I've had in years. The synchronization of its electric motors with that of gasoline (which is used very little) is really unmatched and I have saved a lot of money on fuel. From what I see in my country, as in many others, this vehicle has not been well appreciated in all its magnitude.
Thank for sharing your thoughts with us Vincente and nice to hear how it's benefiting you. - Becky
It’s has a garbage fuel economy when not running on electric 9L/100KM , which is totally unacceptable if you compare with of hybrid Highlander 6.7L/100KM. If you running longer distance above its electric range then it’s useless
Good job helping newbies. Failed to mention B0 or coasting - the most efficient way to extend battery range though.
This video was really helpful. I read the manual, but the part on regenerative braking was a bad translation and didn't make a lot of sense. This sorted out the difference between EV and Eco driving, plus explained regenerative braking and the battery save options really well. Thank you!
A beautiful review! thanks very much ♥
Excellent review! Thanks 👍🏻
Great Review Konnie - Collecting mine next week.
Thanks a lot for all the information you definitely explained every tiny information I learnt a lot from this video
Very good review young lady. Very well explained functions
I have a 2020 model, absolutely outstanding car. And here in Finland the snow mode comes in handy. €142 in electricity to drive for 14000km is another.
Best review i ve seen . Presenter does a great job.
Thank you so much 🙂
Great review !
Thanks, great review.
That's a great video. I bought a 2018 Mitsubishi Outlander GT not the PHEV because at the time I didn't have a place to charge it, but now that I'm moving into a house next year now I see and would really like this PHEV version very much. I'm not going to trade the Outlander I just bought back in February 2018 for this, but if anything were to happen to my Outlander then I will definitely buy this PHEV right away. I like your video, and it's great to see someone making this video that actually owns it😉 and knows what they are talking about😉
My wife uses her PHEV mainly around town and so rarely uses the petrol engine which is why the current read out is just under 600mpg. The other function she loves is the ability to heat the car before getting in.
it does indeed sound good - but I'm guessing she should use up the petrol in her tank at least once a month - to prevent fuel decay.

Excellent Review
Very good, clear review with everything I wanted to know. Thanks 👍
Glad it was helpful!
@@MitsubishiTV my phev wont kick the engine on when i press : save button, it on hibrid with some time engine kicking on. is that use or error?
@@tienphan7283 Hi! That is normal operation, so no need to worry. The engine will kick in once the battery starts to drain, which is not always immediately. Especially if you are driving slowly or in traffic.
This was an excellent review.
Thank you!
Make sure you use the slower 240v charging sometimes or most times if you can. This is because if you keep using the fast charge points, it will greatly reduce the charge the batteries can hold.
It may take quite a few fast charges but it will reduce. Don't get confused with the range that adjusts itself according to your driving style.
You can reset that range in the settings menu. There is a record of long term and short term, reset both and next time you charge you get you 26 to 28 mile range back.
But you'll notice that your not getting that range even after the reset above if your batteries are dying due to consistent fast charging.
i cant wait to buy mine soon
Just bought one, this is great info
Hi, How is it performing? I am thinking of buying one. My everyday return trip is 150 miles mostly on the motorway. How much will it cost me here in the UK? If I used it in the most economic way.
Well done 👏👍
Released the very day I bought a (used) Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV. Nice video, nice timing 👍
Glad to hear that Paul. Enjoy your new car! :)
I bought (in Austria) a 2015 PHEV on the 21.des :)
@@MitsubishiTV no real updates for US bound 2019 models? No sport mode?
Well what can I say, you have made such a great plain English video saying like it is for the Phev
None of the other videos by mostly men even mentioned you can still tow with the phev
I currently have a RRS and am keen to replace it with a phev and your review has just persuaded me to go Mitsubishi so well done
Michael
Had no idea it could tow that much. This must be with the 2.4 engine and newer, larger battery. Can the older 2.0 tow this much?
nicely done.
It is a good sign that M. listens to the customers and changed the engine for a bigger one. I wish I could find more info about the vehicle. I might be able to install a charging point but this vehicle would be used on longer trips to the mountains. I like that the vehicle will keep the AC on, important when there are over three months with over 30 deg in Japan - where I live. I wish there would be heated seats... I don't care leather though ;)
Nice review I have an older 2014 model... still love it, and would never swap for any other car! Tip for long distance driving try Charge mode till battery depletes to 20% or 10% ...then hit Charge mode again to bring it back up, so re- charge and repeat cycles. To power your house...the Chademo charge connector can source DC from the PHEV's battery back into your home, say in the evenings via suitable inverter.
How does it manage to charge your house. Can you buy the software uni etc. I know the leaf can do this
Thank you
1st viewer love from india
Great intro to the phev much indetail compare to the carwow show well done.
A super car - I've had one for three years and still find driving a delight. Just one small error - her commentary got the regenerative paddle operation back to front!
Thanks for the positive feedback David. Good spot on the regenerative braking. Of course, we put that in to try and catch you all out. ;)
David, how is the battery degradation. I am com soldering buying one. Thanks
I am one of the people who are lucky to be able to drive this car in Indonesia, because according to information there are only 20 car units in Indonesia. and cannot be sold freely only there is no spare tire.
We have the 2024 Outlander PHEV, great car.
Would it make sense to install a (slower) overnight charger and a fast charger (rapid) daytime charger at home?
❤️
I have a 2015 model but it doesn’t have EV button just the charge button and save battery button, wonder how to drive on just EV mode in town
Hello, I just bought a 2017 Outlander GX5hs and I have noticed that there are lights all over the car, for example, the dashboard, the steering wheel and it beeps to tell me if something is wrong. But the only thing I haven't seen is there are no lights on the door panel switches such as closing the windows and locking the doors. I tend to find I have to keep pressing different switches and fumble about in the dark to find which switch I need! I know I will learn over time but it seems strange to me that these switches on the doors don't have lights in them. Maybe there is a setting that I may need to go into that I don't know about so if anyone reads my comment and they know how to turn them on if that is even at all possible I would appreciate you letting me in on the secret! Great video and thanks for sharing.
I am wondering how it comes that the driver have to compensate on the steering wheel when driving strait ahead?
Just perfect Japan car
I own a 2018 outlander phev with all options
IM sold for this car.
If only Mitsubishi would add capacitors to extend battery life + bigger battery pack. Another thing would be a expert mode in mmcs that would give more ways of changing car setup.
Well a bigger battery really. Capacitors wouldn't really do much in parallel with batteries because their voltage is proportional to charge level. I'd just like to see a 25KWH battery that would really be a game changer.
own an '15 auris hybrid, my best mpg is 3.58 l/100 km (summertime) w/o plugin capability. that means more than 1000 kms per 40 liter tank.
i would like a bigger SUV hybrid, especially an Outlander due to the S-AWC, but it's really hard to make sense of all the drive modes on this.
plugging the car in, doesn't yield much range - especially in the winter time, filling up the 40 liter gas tank, again, doesn't yield much range either. i do think the best driving mode for this car was for it to start the gas engine at over 50kmh where it's efficient, with more electric assistance at high speeds, otherwise, below 50 kmh - EV only. and a bigger tank, of course.
also - does it have a reminder to burn off your petrol fuel so that it doesn't decay in the tank?
What is meaning of reduce power phev in -21 cold .
同じく右ハンドルのGG3Wなのに、スピードメーターがマイル表示だったり、細かい部分が違うのが、アウトランダーPHEV(ガラルのすがた)。
How do you handle stale fuel, as it can harm the petrol engine.
Hi I just bought 2015 model and I found out fuel consumption is just 30mpg, which is v low, I would like to know if there is any button to activate hybrid system. I just drove it on fuel/hybrid .
Their mileage per mile is deceptive. It is the worst car in the market for its mpg. Lies. The battery runs out in 5 mins and take hours to charge to full. The fuel tank runs out in 2.5 hours.
@@jkofie2834 your nuts what a stupid answer
Question. How long will the batteries last before they start failing? All batteries will loose there charge at some point.
what happens if you spill coffee on those buttons next to gear shifter? I'm guessing the buttons are not waterproof.
I can't find the navigator 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺
Just got our new PHEV so this was useful advice.
Does anyone know about how to extend battery life? Is it better to charge it up every evening or let run down to near empty before plugging it in?
Does it matter?
mafarmerga lithium batteries like the ones in this car and our cell phones will last longer if you keep them as fully charged as possible as often as possible.
Lithium Ion batteries should be kept between 20% and 80% for maximum life with a full load cycle (empty to full ) every couple of months to maintain ideal calibration. It is best not to put on charge unless it's below 70%. As with all batteries slow charging is less stressful than fast charging.
Looks like 2019 models are just showing up here in the USA but Mitsubishi seems to have left is with 2018 specs ☹️. Doesn't appear 2019 us models get sport mode or any of the updates UK gets. Mitsubishi motors am I wrong?
Same in NZ...although it looks like a 2019 one.
I was wondering what was up with that.
I’m on my second but the 62,500 warranty is just not good enough
Excellent presentation. You quoted a (pound) as a cost for a particular doistance travelled and mentioned that was about 2/3 or 3/4 of equivalent petrol cost. Obviously that ratio is dependent on the price of the two fuels (electricity per kwh and petrol per litre or gallon). Here in Adelaide South Australia our respective prices are approximately 40 cents per kwh which a converter says is about 24 pence and our regular unleaded petrol hovers around $1.40 per litre or about $6.10 per gallon equating to approximately 85p per litre or 3 pounds 60 pence per gallon. From these figures can you tell me your fuel costs for electricity and petrol and therefore tell me what my savings would be? I own an outlander 2013 model turbo diesel with the 2250cc engine. In real world mixed driving it uses 8 litres per 100km of diesel priced at $1.50 per litre costing me 12c per km. I really hope you can reply as it will help me to decide next year on another turbo diesel or phev. P.S. I travel around 14000 km per annum. Wayne
Hi Wayne. You might want to have a look at the calculator on our website, which will allow you to check any potential savings based on your circumstances. You can adjust it to your local market pricing for a more accurate calculation. www.mitsubishi-cars.co.uk/new-cars/outlander/phev/fuel-calculator/#/. I hope this helps.
Have Mitsubishi solved their battery degradation problem? It's likely a software issue and not a battery problem.
No mention of worldwide issues with massive battery degradation.
How much kwh and time do need to fully charge?
Md Zaman 10kwh and 5 hours to fully charge. Hope this helps! Cheers!
The Anonymous Guy thanks
For me this car better than bmw x3 x5 too
Thanks for your feedback Elshan! :) - Becky
I'm still not sure if my next vehicle should be this, a smaller 6MT Crosstrek, or a small Fuso cabover truck. These are not sensible vehicles to crosssshop.
No one had said what to do if you live in London flats with no charger at home or at work.
I guess it's not for you mate
The App is terrible you have to be within 10 feet of the car I thought the lead app was bad but at least it worked anywhere
There are three big mistakes in this video.
The LEFT paddle increases the regen and the RIGHT decreases it (she got that the wrong way around even though the right paddle is marked with "+" and the left with "-", those details don't actually refer to regen strength but mimic "gears". Going down a gear, ie "-", increases engine braking).
The second is the tree with the leaves. That is just a gimmick that has conned many MOPHEV drivers and has nothing to do with economy. It is based on how much one uses the accelerator pedal. To achieve the most leaves, drive everywhere in cruise-control and use the "up", "down", "Cancel" and "Restore" buttons to moderate the speed. It will be far less economical than sensible driving but because you are not using the accelerator pedal, the car will return a tree full of leaves.
Thirdly, the ECO button does not reduce power to the motors/engine. It remaps the accelerator pedal so, to achieve the same amount of acceleration, one just presses it further.
With the battery charge mode does that mean you basically drive the car like an ordinary hybrid
You could, but people who do this are reportedly averaging 40mpg.
Zao
I struggle to see why it's better than a Rav 4
It's not!
One major issue though, already after two years the battery driving range of my PHEV is down at 56% of what it originally was. That is not acceptable. There are a lot of buyers that have this problem and Mitsubishi are not doing anything about it.
Hi Jan, thanks for contacting us. Have you contacted our Customer Service team about this? If you wanted to speak with them please call 01285 647774. Thanks, Becky
thanks for this comment, I was considering the car as a used purchase maybe a 2017 model - not any more.
5 levels of regen
Hi gazz robb. Thanks for the comment. We always include the 0 (zero) setting too, hence the 6 levels from 0 to 5. :)
Mitsubishi Motors in the UK of course lol
Nice review. One issue tho: No such thing as free lunch! Not in this universe at least :)
Hmmm ... didn't even see the engine? How crazy and complex is this thing for almost no electric range? ... imagine working on it? ... Yikes!
Outlander PHEV - won't be chopping people's heads off @konnie Huq :-)
whats special about Konnie Huq?
Excellent powertrain & practicality.
However, after 3 years of the infotainment system and incessant beeping drive me mad on a daily basis; I’m going to Volvo.
Hi Matt. We are sad to read you are thinking of leaving us. You might want to test drive the new 2019 Outlander PHEV, which benefits from a number of improvements, including an updated infotainment system. You can find more information on our website here - www.mitsubishi-cars.co.uk/new-cars/outlander/phev/. AM.
@@MitsubishiTV It would be nice if there was a level of customisability to the warnings and beeps which could be configured from the touch screen, or smart phone app what ever is easier.
Thanks for the feedback darwiniandude. Some of the warnings are necessary to comply with safety regulations, but you make a good point. We will pass on your suggestion to our product planning team.
Thanks. For future models consider the use of pleasant samples sounds eg chime or bell sounds (listen to the alarm on an Apple Watch, sounds like there is a little bell in there, not electronic, which it is) if the sounds are required just make them nicer and/or customisable. Anyway, GREAT video, best I’ve seen explaining the car, engaging and informative.
She knows how to sell something
It is not fuel efficient at all, it’s a lie, I had the car for 2 years, it’s fuel consumption broke my back. I don’t understand why these people can’t be speak the truth for once.😌
Yeah once the battery gets depleted, it's just bad...
What a stupid noise in the background
yeah... but you will ended up pay a lot of money on battery replacement in every couple of years
Hi Ben, so the batteries are made up of individual cells and if need a call can be replaced rather than the whole battery. Thanks, Becky
Don't bother with it. The battery will start to fail within the first 6-12months, it's ok for what it is but? Only being honest.
Hi Darren, thanks for contacting us. All new Outlander PHEVs come with a 8 year, 100,000 mile Traction Battery warranty. This includes a guarantee that if the traction battery capacity falls below 70% in the first 8 years/100,000 miles a free repair or replacement will be provided*. If you have any questions about this please let me know. Thanks, Becky
@@MitsubishiTV 81% SoH after 2 years and 2500 miles, is that really acceptable degradation of the battery? That is what i have. In the beginning I could go over 35 miles in a single charge, now I am at 20. I don't think that is acceptable and this is the situation for many buyers. There are several youtube channels and webpages covering this issue.

Becky am buying a 2018 model from a non mistubushi dealer will this still stand
@@MitsubishiTV is the car still guranteed for 2nd owner? thanks
Really bloody annoying music over everything she says, put me totally off listening to the review
Thanks for your feedback Paul. - Thanks, Becky
Totally agree Paul. I wanted to hit the screen in frustration. Ridiculous
I understand this PHEV has horrible MPG as a hybrid, charges slowly even at a ChaDeMo site and in the US is very expensive. Not selling well in the US. Thanks
I'd almost agree with you, but only compared with small hybrids, if you think of it as an automatic, AWD SUV, then it's not so bad, I get around 40 (imperial) MPG from my 2014 PHEV.
Rob Pollock Hi. Great if your success with an European Mitsubishi version but the US model, as per one owner, is quite less efficient during hybrid mode. At over $40,000 to buy this as an AWD SUV and ignore the EV range, charging woes and low mpg, well, let’s say there are better options. Oh, the dealership network is also scarce. Thanks.
@@Rhaman68 What petrol SUV in the USA has better MPG? Rememb of course that unlike a hybrid, this can remain a pure EV even at high speed for short commutes. Charging speed I don't consider a deal breaker as you can drive long road trips on petrol if you need to, but every time you leave the house daily it's battery is full charged. I hate going to petrol (gas) stations weekly just to top the car up for the commute.
I have just done a 220 mile trip with only the initial battery charge and managed 34 mpg (UK) over the journey, mostly dual carriageway, with a mix of battery, save and charge modes. As you say, that's pretty good for a large auto 4x4, and as most of my journeys are done at about 80% EV my real average is much, much better.@@bobthebarsteward
@@stephenlane8366 my best hybrid mpg on a long run across the A66 was 42mpg, that's imperial gallons, which are bigger than US gallons, which always makes US mpg look worse than it is. My daily commute is a 70 round trip, I charge at both ends, the average mpg last summer was 126 mpg, this has dropped to about 75 mpg in the winter. Compare this to my previous Outlander 2.2 diesel, at best it got 40 mpg.
7:02 please go back to driving school! you should NEVER put your hand inside of steering wheel!
20 miles range in 25 minutes - what a joke. These vehicles stop pure EV's from charging by hogging the rapid chargers for ages while gaining very little - should be banned from rapid chargers. They could get almost as much charge from a fast charger, yet they rarely seem to use them. :(
There should be more charging points for all, but you make a good point that a PHEV owner should be considerate and not leave their car there for hours :)
Konnie, are you saying this because the car is actually that good or because you were the ambassador for mitsubishi? Your car was free from Mitsubishi but the common person will spend their hard earned money on this
