We just bought a 2018. This video was so amazing to understand the car! Thank you. We just can’t wrap our heads around the paddles on the steering wheel how to use them.
Great in-depth review! One note: at 30:20 you mention that there's no sacrifice in the PHEV vs the regular Outlander. You do give up the third row option. For many people, this isn't much of a sacrifice since the third row is meant for kids. Just depends on your needs and lifestyle.
I have the 2018 Mitsubishi Outlander GT that runs on gas and I could say that this is one of the best cars I have owned to date. I have taken at all over the place and it runs great and smooth. I highly recommend this vehicle to anyone that is looking for something that is highly reliable and fun to drive
Does it have a reliable CVT transmission?! Because this type of transmission can break down very easy if it's a belt driven. Only Toyota produced a type of CVT transmission which doesn't have a belt inside and it is very reliable. Anyway I like this Mitsubishi, and I think it has one of the best hybrid technology to date.
How is the consumption long range? I have a 2016 XC60 D5 today and im thinking about switching to an Outlander PHEV. I dont need to drive 100% electric. I just want to keep the gas consumption as low as possible on longer trips. Im usually driving about 100km every day and even more on the weekends..
I just purchased a new 2019 leftover stock that came with a huge discount.. What surprised me the most is that even to this day there is no real competition on the road. The RAV4 Prime has been delayed due to the virus and all the 2021 models are sold out (here in Quebec province) so you would have to wait at least 2 years to take delivery. The Escape PHEV is unfortunately not AWD which is the top reason for choosing the Outlander. The other options are much more expensive..
I'm considering purchasing a 2018 Outlander PHEV, but I'm concerned about its power. I'm wondering if the engines generate enough power for a smooth and enjoyable ride on highways or steep streets in San Francisco, because it's a heavy vehicle.
It's not powerful at all but gets the job done. The usual planned passing on the highway is OK but no sudden passing. It just doesn't have the power for it. You'll get an idea during your test drive.
I have the 2016 non-hybrid GT (3.0 L V6) & I personally haven't needed the 3rd row so losing that wouldn't bother me but the hybrid does have smaller gas tank that reviewers say limits total range to 300+ miles which is range I have currently in non-hybrid albeit I'm burning a great deal more gas. I can tow 3500# while hybrid is much less (1500# I think) but respectable compared to other hybrids. I heard Mitsubishi is supposed to increase the hybrids gas engine to 2.4 L & rear electric motor to 80 hp (currently 60 hp). Waiting to see how that is rated then might trade my non-hybrid GT for the hybrid-GT. Also that can of fix-O-flat is indicative of no spare tire. My non-hybrid GT has a full sized spare underneath albeit a plain black rim. Nice video! Also just an fyi... they rate my non-hybrid GT @ 23mpg all around. I typically get 25-26 mpg all around on full tank with an all time high of 28.5 mpg. I've seen individual trips of 30-32 mpg going to work.
Thank you. I'm glad you find it helpful. They already have the 2.4L 4 cylinder engine and the more powerful electric motors in Europe. It's just a matter of time till it makes it to North America. It will totally be worth waiting for. It does have a smaller 11.3 gallon tank but I consistently get between 500 and 600 miles to the tank which is substantially higher than the non hybrid but then again the fuel economy is dependant on the driving habits and conditions.
@@HighOnCars1 K ty. want to also see if installing them in the seat is possible and what it would take to do. Kids want heat for the VT winters! Thanks again.
Hi, I've got the 2017 5HS and I heard you say that you left the charging port open because when the engine is on it locks up as a safety measure so does that mean when your driving the car the car automatically lock the doors? If there is a feature for this can you tell me how to do it? Thank you in advance.
I sold the Outlander PHEV over a year and a half ago so I can't say for sure but I believe it did have that feature. Yours is a 2017 so I don't know if that year had it or not.
Mitsubishi FMC does not give warning when the front car is moving in slow and your car is approaching in high speed.Mitsubishi has to update its software to adopt a relative velocity and distance fine tune for FMC warning. I am disappointed when compare to other company such feature. I am a Outlander PHEV GT 2018 owner.
Thank you I found the video, bottom line , would you still purchase the Outlander if you hadn't . I am going to drive a 2019 and 2020. pricing in the USA is good also we receive $5800 tax credit . I am also looking at a V60 Volvo, however that car will be 12K more , different type of car sedan and fast. I will use to only 15 mins most days so was thinking could drive using no gas . Unless a long trip . thanks again for the information .
No I wouldn't because now there are options like the Ford Escape and Toyota RAV4 PHEV. The Escape PHEV has a nicer interior and the RAV4 has better technology, longer range and is much more powerful at around 302hp.
is there any way to turn off the artificial noise generation the vehicle makes. I assume its so people can hear the car coming but if you have an electric car it should be quiet. I'm hoping there is just a fuse I could unplug.
Both questions are subjective. Mileage will depend on how frequently you charge plus the driving habits and conditions and the used car price depends on the condition and mileage of the car. That being said, if you charge every night, you should average 7.5L/100km city and highway combined driving. Depending on your location, please check your local used car portal for the used car pricing.
Mileage depends on how you drive. If you are in town a lot and use mostly electric the gas usage will be 2 l/100 km or less. if you on the highway it will be more because the gas engine will come on more often. Don't forget to factor in the cost of electricity. In my area its costing about $2.00 per 100km.
We just bought a 2018. This video was so amazing to understand the car! Thank you. We just can’t wrap our heads around the paddles on the steering wheel how to use them.
Anytime. I'm glad you found it useful. The paddle shifters are to control the regeneration. Did I miss that in the video?
Great in-depth review!

You're right. I should've mentioned it. Thanks for pointing it out.

It doesn't have a CVT transmission. It has a single speed transmission as per the Mitsubishi website.
Probably the best review I have seen. Brilliant
Thank you. I'm glad you liked it 😊

I just want to keep the gas consumption as low as possible on longer trips. Im usually driving about 100km every day and even more on the weekends..
I don't have the vehicle anymore but from what I remember, it went down to 6.5L/100 km on long trips.

Congratulations. Huge discounts are always good. Enjoy 🙂
Thank you so much for the video it helped me a lot to understand and did my final decion and bought it today will come 3 days later. can't wait
Hi Kashif
Congratulations on your purchase. Did you buy this generation or the current?

Thanks so much; very helpful to someone who has been undecided about this vehicle.
Anytime. I'm glad you found it useful 🙂
Good video, very helpful. have you ever had to deal with the back up camera being to dark? If you did how did you brighten it?
Thank you. I'm glad you found it useful. No I haven't had that issue. You might wanna check with the dealership. Could be a faulty camera.
Enjoyed the video as I am waiting for my PHEV to arrive next week. Do you or others have any ideas on how to add back row heated seats?
Congratulations on your PHEV. The easiest way I can think of is to buy those heated seat cushions.
@@HighOnCars1 K ty. want to also see if installing them in the seat is possible and what it would take to do. Kids want heat for the VT winters! Thanks again.
You'll have to get it done by the custom car shop because I highly doubt the dealership will take it on.
Really great overview!! Thanks!
You're welcome. Feel free to share 😊

I don't have that issue with mine. What does the dealership say?
Thanks for sharing your advice
You're welcome. Happy to help 😊
What a no nonsense car. Great value for €€€€€
😊
Thank you for this detail review, can you tell me more how you like or dis-like the Outlander. thinking of getting a 2020
I'm glad you found it useful. I have a video of the things I don't like about it which will answer your question.
Thank you I found the video, bottom line , would you still purchase the Outlander if you hadn't . I am going to drive a 2019 and 2020. pricing in the USA is good also we receive $5800 tax credit . I am also looking at a V60 Volvo, however that car will be 12K more , different type of car sedan and fast. I will use to only 15 mins most days so was thinking could drive using no gas . Unless a long trip . thanks again for the information .
No I wouldn't because now there are options like the Ford Escape and Toyota RAV4 PHEV. The Escape PHEV has a nicer interior and the RAV4 has better technology, longer range and is much more powerful at around 302hp.
@@HighOnCars1 Thank you, looking at the Ford Escape next week....
RO JO Great option. Let me know how it goes.
looks like range rover from the front.
That's what a lot of people have been saying. I think it's because of the hood emblem.
Hey, considering buying a 2 year old one now. How's the electric range after you've owned it a couple of years?
I have been meaning to make a video on a 2 year update and have been procrastinating. I guess I'll have to do it soon. The short answer is go for it.
@@HighOnCars1 Well if you make it I'll watch it so go for it! thanks.
Soon 😊
is there any way to turn off the artificial noise generation the vehicle makes. I assume its so people can hear the car coming but if you have an electric car it should be quiet. I'm hoping there is just a fuse I could unplug.
In Canada it does not make any sound while operating in the EV mode. Where are you located?
@@HighOnCars1 I live in Vernon BC. The car has a very loud artificial noise in reverse.
I did a test today and the PHEV also generates a noise in drive mode. Not as loud as the reverse one but still annoying.
I have 2016 phev in UK and there is a button to disable this noise. It's down to the right of wheel on right hand drive version.
I haven't experienced it
Hi
Do u sugest me to by or no?
I suggest waiting for the redesigned one which will be much more technologically advanced and will have more EV range.
What is mileage and I don’t need a 3 rd sets. How much is this used car ? Please reply
Both questions are subjective. Mileage will depend on how frequently you charge plus the driving habits and conditions and the used car price depends on the condition and mileage of the car.

Don't forget to factor in the cost of electricity. In my area its costing about $2.00 per 100km.
What is the total mileage or range I could drive ( combine mileage )
The least I got is 600 km before filling up the tank and charging every night and the most I got was 1100 kms charging any chance I got even when out.
