We last drove the 4th Generation Mitsubishi Outlander as a 2022 model year when it first launched. At the time the PHEV wasn't available, but launched the following year. Not much has changed for 2024, just the addition of a top-trim with blacked-out trim, our GT still represents a pretty loaded example. Victor and Nile hit the road on a rainy January morning to test out this plug-in hybrid and talk about some main points to consider if you're in the market for a compact crossover, a three row SUV, a PHEV, or any combination of the above.

Mitsubishi Canada invited us out to Mirabel, QC to test out their S-AWC system on a snow/ice course. Check out that video here: th-cam.com/video/xkyoH33I6mY/w-d-xo.html
It is not correct to say that the third row is for people without legs. Mitsubishi very clearly documents that the third row is for people under 5'3". At my daughter's party I went to pick her and her friends (15-16 years old) up from school and there were 7 of us on board to drive them back to the restaurant and the cinema. we adjusted the first and second row and everyone was comfortable, with small compromises. It's very practical in this kind of situation. And everyone had legs .
I mean it was a joke..
@@PRNTestDrive Everyone understands that it's a joke, but your job is to evaluate what the product was designed for and who it is intended for... right? Many people shopping for this vehicle wonder if it can help transport six teenagers to an activity: YES. Is the third row comfortable enough for a long trip: NO. Can it replace a minivan: NO...
@@martincloutier666his job is to put whatever content he pleases. You can either watch it or move along. Calisse.
@@FirstLast-et3sw Well well well…. I admit that it’s a little inappropriate of me to tell him how to do his job. My point is that joke or not a comment like that could lead someone to believe that this seat is unusable. While it is very usable to do what it was designed to do... occasionally carry people shorter than 5'3". And yes when I go to a car test TH-cam channel I expect the practical aspects to be explained to me.
@@martincloutier666 the third row sucks just like every other third row SUV. It’s for midgets.
And if it didn’t suck for you, why are you even watching the review???
Love it, RWD biased S-AWC with AYC, handles really good plus it's a sleeper off-road.
We're looking forward to test it out next week in some snow, just hoping there will be snow to test it in!
@@PRNTestDrive Please ask Mitsubishi Canada what their position is on the problem of batteries freezing and leaving customers stuck at work in the evening because the car tells them to wait until it is warmer outside before they can leave to pick up their children from daycare.
This is such a useful video. I can’t understand all the uptight comments in here. A lot of families are in this market segment and PRN gave some good insight that I did not know before.
Glad you think so, thanks for sharing!
"basically, if u don't have legs, u can fit in the back seats" 😂😂😂
At least someone figured out it was a joke!
Hi, how is the regular gas version in terms of thendrive and reliability..asking this because the insurance company gave me a shocker for the phev version vs the gas..any inputs or similar experiences with their insurance going up for phev..
Insurance will be very regionally-specific. I was paying the same premiums for my Ford Focus EV will full coverage as I was on my 2013 Mercedes-Benz C 300. As for the gas-only version, we drove it in 2022 when it first changed over to this generation: th-cam.com/video/7OwZaFUS8cs/w-d-xo.html
For me as a buyer, It's a tough call between Rav4 and the Outlander (Non-Phev models).
- Cost and availibility of Spares (Lot many toyotas on the road, more availibility of spares and after market parts)
- Cost of maintianance over time (few Mitsubishi dealers in Canada so dealers charge more for service)
- Engine reliability vs power vs performance (Rav4 seems to have a slight advantage in terms of fuel efficiency and power)
- Rugged vs refined (Outlander looks and feels more classy)
- Spare tire (Rav4 offers a donut wheel for peace of mind, doing long trips in an outlander seems risky)
- Cargo space (The outlander must have the third row seats tucked in to almost match the cargo space of a Rav4)
- Battle of the warranties (Mitsubishi offers 10 year/ 160K Kms engine and transmission warranty which is unmatched)
- Build quality (Outlander is assembled in Japan, so its super fine, but the Rav4 has a better underside that prevents it from rusting)
- Infotainment (Outlander has a more engaging and classier cluster and infotainment center)
- Rav4 has a proven engine, outlander engine (made by Nissan - PRD25DD) is fairly new.
- Toyotas fetch better resale values
Fair enough, thanks for sharing.
When mentioning rav 4, ensure you are talking about the top trim as they are not the same price. As far as features, what stands out is you get so many in the outlander for a very competitive price point compared to others.
That's very true.
Considering this for our new family vehicle. We have 4 children 6-14 years old. My work place is less than 40km away and has free level 2 charging, as well as most places we'd go for daily errands. I feel like we could mostly drive on electric for free, using gas for road trips. Does this seem to make sense as a suitable option? We ordered a Kia Sorento PHEV 2 years ago and they still cant tell us if it will ever arrive...
Could be a good option, it is smaller than the Sorento though so you might feel the interior space is tight. Depending on how your kids fit in the third row it could be a good choice to fit everyone, but I'd definitely recommend checking it out in person if you can before making a final decision.
@PRNTestDrive thanks! We bought one and went on a 12 hour road trip with 2 adults and 5 kids , I thought for sure we'd stick the youngest 2 I the back and if worse came to worse they'd kick off their shoes and sit cross legged, but the teenagers sat in back and never complained and asked to remain in the back rather than taking turns. We are happy with our purchase :)
@@cyrvanessa what did you have for cargo if the 3th row was used?
Hi,great review.Aussi customer here of the MY24 PHEV exceed,Just wondering what is the most economical way to use the charge mode?is it during Highway travel and at what speeds?heard it strains the engine at high speeds making it use more fuel vs when parked or stopped where it takes on average 90mins to fully charge?
I personally wouldn't use the charge mode on any PHEV unless I were driving somewhere that restricted the use of ICE engines. Charging this at home/destination is the best way to maximize the fuel efficiency.
No one mentioned anything about the 10 years warranty on engine,transmission and batteries., which is deal breaker in my opinion.
Fair point!
The elephant in the room that no journalist talks about is the fact that this vehicle does not have a battery heater. This can make this car completely unusable in extreme cold and put people in dangerous situations. The sellers don't talk about it, the Mitsubishi site doesn't talk about it... but they are aware, when we ask questions to Mitsubishi Canada they tell us that all electric cars are like that and are not made to use below -20c. A class action lawsuit has been initiated in the USA, and there will most likely be one in Canada as well.
The reported issue is factually inaccurate; it occurred during Alberta's extreme weather conditions, where temperatures plummeted well below -35°C, and the vehicle was parked outside without being plugged in. The remainder of the story seems to be a fabrication circulating on the internet. The lawsuit in the USA revolves around cold weather causing lower mileage. However, it's worth noting that most cars experience reduced efficiency in colder temperatures, so it remains uncertain how the case will result in a legal victory.
@@trulycommonman7673 no it is not factually inaccurate. This can happen at -24c in Quebec and it is not considered very extreme cold here.
@@martincloutier666 hope you are not carrying away with misleading information at these extreme temperatures even gasoline car wont work normal unless it is plugged in with block heater ! please be aware internet can feed you wrong details too. Unless you honestly say own the car and really gone through it.
I do have this car and I am part of all forums!
@@trulycommonman7673 At -24c my two petrol cars start well. Like the 9 others I had before, they always started well in winter as far as I know.
People are freaking out for no reason just because they heard some people in Calgary reporting their vehicle wouldn't start after spending the whole night outside during a polar vortex. Never had an issue here in Qc with my PHEV.
It's not a "One gear", its a CVT trasmission
Mitsubishi very clearly documents that the third row is for people under 5'3".
Having no legs would likely ensure someone is shorter than that requirement, so I don’t see the problem here 🙂
I wish Mitsubishi would clean up the front head lights ,offer a full size spare tire Bigger display different than Nissan Model also a better looking wheels with High quality Micheline tires . in 2025 Models .
If you are driving to Collingwood, why didn't you take it to a charging station there? After all, it is a plug-in hybrid. Your mileage would be much better. No point in buying a phev if you are not going to plug it in.
Perhaps there wasn't a charging station near where Victor was spending the day, or the charging stations were already in use.
And does it charge in 5mins. But if for local only use, this vehicle would be extremely economical.
YOu forgot to tell us about the failing navigation system with the hands free issue. When you accept an incoming call in the car (iphone/android) after you or the party hangs up the call, the call is never executed to end, as a result you navigation system thinks your still on the call making the entire infotainment system to mute, no Sirrus music, no radio, you have to pull over, get out, close the door, lock the car, then reboot it this way, then i realzied never answer any calls in my car, then i realized i have an emergency call to make and i have to use one hand and hope no police catched me using a phone while driving, then i realized i can hold down the power buttom for 40second to reboot it, and i have to do this every time, and its emberasing when i get a call in my car and on a date and with friends i can not answer a call, i have to explain the issue so music is interrupted and we wait till the call is not answered to get back to jamming
Next time I’ll consult you on the issues you’re having so I don’t forget them in my video.
WTF are you talking about?😖, this is a random issue, that you have had..This is not commonplace for every vehicle..
No ventilated seats with this class ~ no deal for me.
Definitely a miss since essentially every other vehicle in the segment offers it at their top trims.
