- In this video, I test out the electric range of the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV in winter in the UK. The Outlander is a great plug-in hybrid with a claimed all-electric range of 28 miles. Is this actually achievable during the winter when temperatures are below 10 degrees? Watch the video to find out!
This a cross country range test which means I drive the car on a route through town and on UK cross country roads with a mix of speed limit ranging from 30 to 60 miles per hour.

Great video,the stuff we need to hear very informative.
I've been driving hybrids and various forms of EVs for nearly 20 years. I'm a hypermiler and love to eek out a few extra miles when/wherever possible.
In my Outlander PHEV I can get 26 - 28 mpg around town in winter, and 32 - 35 around town in summer.
The key is:
1. Use *B0* to allow the car to cost wherever possible. B5 drastically reduces overall mpg.
2. Use the paddles properly to come to a stop.
3. Use the heater, but *not* AC, without that the car will steam up, particularly in the rain.
4. If you need a bit of air, tilt the sun roof up rather than opening a window.
5. Use Eco mode
6. Pull away slowly, no point racing to the next red light
7. Don't use adaptive cruise control.
8. Use a standalone GPS to view your speed.
I like your point #1. B0 and cruising is the way to go. When you brake do it gently to extend the braking time to maximum. Time not straight is the key.
Я недавно езжу на outlander phev и согласен с вашими выводами и сам так же делаю. Особенно работа подрулевыми лепестками и плавные движения.
Perfect review, you’re going to heaven for this video… top man thanks
Gifted presenter, natural and easy
great presentation, your a natural. thank you for your information. just looking at buying a 2019 model
Thanks.. This was helpful
Good video
Good job
Well ... how can you use regen with a full battery, that would be silly! That aside, we've had ours a month. We can both drive to work and back on battery. General driving short and longish we are getting 70+ mpg. Today we did a round trip of about 240 miles and I purposefully set off with a flat battery, zero miles EV range. I was surprised at the cars eagerness to save? Down hill the engine went off and it used some of the regen for up the up hill. Below 50 it religiously switches to EV on it's own. Still, 43mpg there, 38 coming back for a relatively large SUV I'm OK with that. Now I'm old school, I had a diesel Cavalier that did 60mpg, I had a 96 Disco that did 37, my mate had a 1980's citreon visa that did 70 mpg. Modern cars are heavy, bloated and not that efficient. But I am quite pleased with this, it's a clever car. Oh, like any large brick the difference between 60 mph and 70 mph is about 20% petrol / KW.
20.8 with the air conditioning on is excellent , I never use the air conditioning in any car so I think I’ll see 25 to 30 miles when I get mine plus I will just be cruising around averaging about 40 miles an hour
Thanks
Thank you, You have answered most of my questions. There's one fear in my mind that home charging will go expensive (slowly) just like fuel prices.
I believe your fear is not at all unfounded
Once the petrol motor fires it's probably programmed to stay on until it reaches a suitable operating temperature.
Was that 20.8 miles achieved without switching off (i.e. all in one go journey) or did you stop at the half way point switch off and then restart? In a PHEV I sometimes find that switching off and restarting drops the range by a few miles, particularly in winter. Not a lot I know.
A common mistake.
You *can* use the air cooler/heater to keep yourself warm/cool. It's only when you use the*Air Conditioner* that it eats into the EV battery.
I'm a hypermiler and regularly use the heater. In winter. I see some owners driving in gloves, hats and costs attempting to eek out those few extra miles. It's pointless and dangerous, you need to be comfortable when driving so that you can think and react properly. Use the heater/cooler but NOT the Aircon!
so in the real world how many miles do you get out a full charge and full tank of petrol? 400? 500?
2.0 or 2.4 version? I would love to see real winter test when you are below 0c :)
Is this the newer 2.4 version with the bigger battery?
Hi, thanks for a good video! :) I´ve bought a used car from 2018. It has only have 2485 miles on the meter in good condition. I only get 15 miles on EV mode (Eco mode) at a temp around 6-7 celcius. Is this normal or should I be concerned?
Solid burp 8 out of 10
Hello i wanted to know is it worth to own this car without having to charge it ? Can the engine fully charge the battery ?
Have you still got the Phev
You can go to buy bread and back with a cold engine.
Have had mine for a few months. I do find the regen braking disappointing but because I do alot more short journeys this car is ideal. I do site visits around the Highlands of Scotland and can be 2 or 3 hr drives and just stick into charge save mode and only use battery when going through built up areas. That conserves my petrol for the journey back and I top up the battery if charging points are available. Please don't undertake long journeys without a full tank. That is not recommended. I tend to find a full battery lasts me a whole week since working from home. Also another point is that make sure you use up the battery charge and empty it. Don't charge at 50% unless you have to do a long journey. Lithium batteries tend to have a kind of memory so if you do this frequently then it won't charge to full and you will get less range and will have to send your battery for regen and reset BMU. Plus petrol is only good for 3 months so you don't want old fuel in the engine but Mitsubishi EMU seems to keep track of this and engine kicks in. Also another point is that in the winter ensure you heat up the car whilst plugged in and warm it up. Heating the car for half hour did improve my range and plus you get into nice toasty car and bonus is that any snow or frost will have melted. Saves you scraping in the freezing cold. And regen as much as you can. Steep hill and no cars behind regen even if you slow down to a crawl whilst keeping an eye on the rear view mirror. It's possible up here in the rural Scotland. But regen is not as good as the Ioniq. I made it to Perth n back, 220 miles in total, in the Ioniq with less than quarter of the fuel being used. Now that's a real regen for you.
Hi Hulio ! Very interesting. I see NZ dealers are knocking off up to 10k dollars off the 2021 PHEV, Mitsubishi Outlander. This seems a good deal. NZ and I think Australia do not have the RAV4 Prime as yet, if ever they do get it.
My 2003 RAV4 gearbox died.
Next year I shall buy a new SUV PHEV variant. Unsure what model and manufacturer yet.
How happy are you with the PHEV Outlander ?

@@johnmartin7158 Hi John,
Thanks for getting in touch mate. To give you an insight of my travel, given Covid I am working from home so only do very short journeys to school n back twice a day hence I only charge up over the weekends. If I was working at the office, which is in short 10 miles from home and having the provision to charge at my workplace I would say having the Outlander would make sense. I do occasional long journeys on work related journeys, which will be 2 or 3 hrs driving, hence petrol engine is used. I used own a Diesel Ford Grand CMax so monthly bill was £70 to £100, sometimes more. This is now £15 ( I don't put a full tank because of predominant EV usage and petrol goes bad after 3 months as you are aware) but my electric bill has increased by £28 a month so total £43 a month on this regime. So saving of £27 a month and road tax is less as well. Go for a lesser electric ity tariff then even more saving.
Now on to the car, it's very comfortable, heated steering wheel, and seats, auto dimming, AWD, snow and normal driving options. I have driven off road on work, obviously cautiously and it handles great. You can also charge up the battery using the petrol engine if required but this is not very economical because ones range is reduced on petrol. I also know you can use the vehicle as an emergency generator to power the house if power goes off but you will need to get charging point installed at your residence which allows this.
So alot of good things.
Now, to the bad and this is very disappointing. Mitsubishi's BMU seems to be programmed in a way to purposely degrade the battery by 0.1 Ah with every single use and this reduces your battery range and hence petrol engine kicks in. If you watch Andy's EV unplugged channel you will see this. They have investigated this and hounded Mitsubishi about this problem and Mitsubishi aren't budging yet. But Mitsubishi have a procedure whereby you take the car in and you get the BMU reset and battery smoothed out to get back the original range. My dealer has recommended this be done with every service, £100. So this seems to be the only option. Obviously if the battery goes below 75% and car is under warranty then Mitsubishi should replace the battery. If out with warranty I think you will need to fork out £5k plus labour, but then again the engine is hardly used and car is taken care of properly and services regularly then it's a good investment.
I didn't go a pure EV because I knew about the battery degradation issue and friends who own pure EVs have told me range is limited in the winter because you'll have heating on, which significant ly reduces range. Mitsubishi, inspire or being a PHEV, have recommended using the heated steering wheel and seats to counter this, which does help.
So all in all I would give the vehicle a 8/10.
@@alvarezhulio Tnx for an outstanding review for me and all the time you put into this for me. I am 65 in 2022 the month of May. I shall withdraw my KiwiSaver and buy a new PHEV SUV 5 seater.

@@johnmartin7158 My pleasure John. Wow! 65 eh and in May too? I was born in May as well! What a coincidence.
65's retirement age over here in the UK. Not sure if it is the same in NZ and if it is and you're retiring then congratulations!
To be honest I don''t want folk going into PHEVs like I did without knowing pros and cons. I would recommend checking around to see if the Toyota RAV4 Prime has the same battery issues as the Outlander PHEV. The only thing I came across on my research was that it has an issue withe petrol tank and I'm not sure if Toyota have sorted this out. I was initially going to purchase one myself but went for the Outlander as it was a pretty damn good deal. Now I know why hahahahaha. Hyundai are coming out with a new PHEV SUV too and it looks pretty good too so maybe worth having a look and get and extended test drive.
All the best mate.
