You know whats funny, i don't even really care about this vehicle, i just watch because i like how you review vehicles. Very thorough.
Thank you!

Same here. Very Entertaining reviews.
We have a 2014 Model Outlander PHEV (in Australia) and very happy with it!
Unfortunately, we have zero tax incentives here in Australia for EV’s and hybrids.
The 2019 and 2020 models are even better. It's a good car!
I have a 2018 Mitsubishi Outlander GT and kinda should have bought the PHEV, but mine is pretty good and can handle quite a lot. I took it on a long road trip, off road, climb mountains to get to a camp site, and it handle it all. A Mitsubishi Outlander Hybrid or Gas is a best buy for anyone that is looking for a SUV that can do a lot and still do simple stuff. When I went camping, I had 6 people, my gear, pop up tent on the roof, and 4 bikes on a tow hitch bike rack and the Outlander handled like nothing was there. IF anything were to happen to my Outlander I plan to buy this Hybrid version next😉 I highly recommend this brand and SUV to everyone!
You know? You know. You know!!!!!! Y'know.
What's up with those paddles? They look nicer than paddles in most sport sedans (especially Audis... the set in the S4 are laughable for a car in that price range), not to mention they're column-mounted (like they should be), yet they don't even control the transmission!
They're a carryover from the Evo. I guess it was cheaper to use an existing design even if it's metal, rather than design new plastic ones. But yeah, they put Audi paddles to shame and are really a nice touch for enthusiasts.
That makes sense... They remind me of the paddles in the Giulia, and that's saying something... Shame Mitsubishi doesn't make anything worth buying (for me, at least).
peteyification I dont get you, hard to understand, its really weird!!!
Gerard Ferry Thanks for the feedback, I guess? You must not be doing too well in your English courses.
The paddles control the amount of regeneration, you can drive without touching the brakes using these.
Review: 2018 Mitsubishi Outlander GT Plug-in Hybrid - The Affordable PHEV Crossover
Would you review a GT with the 3.0 V6
My father owned an Outlander V6 and he traded his in for a PHEV last month - one of the first 10 to arrive in Ontario I was told - it also ended up cheaper than a comparable Rav4 Hybrid since provincial EV rebates bring the prices down. Awesome vehicle, but the dealership experience has been less than stellar. That's likely the only downside when dealing with Mitsubishi.
Trades46 how much was the out the door price? I'm thinking about buying one
Paid ~$36k after taxes.
Trades46, which trim did he get? Does the $36k include any trade-in amount or is it just the SUV cost with taxes? Also, which dealer? Thanks in advance mate.
manujuit all in with taxes and incentives. Trim is SE Touring. Dealer is Markham Mitsubishi.
Matt, This was a great review, Well Done, covered everything well. I am Happy to see Mitsubishi is putting quality back into their lineup. I was impressed with the regular Outlander GT as well. I hope you review the new Eclipse Cross, I think that is a great package and well priced, plus the 10 year Warranty. Just wish they didn't name it the Eclipse Cross. Should have a different name.
Really like the front
im going to have to test drive this one, it looks promising
I'm genuinely confused by a car being both a plug in and a gas engine... Why can't it just charge itself, why is it a plug in? Genuine question. I'm looking at this car and confused why be plug in with gas?
Good morning Matt
Great review, well done, but please review a GT with the 3.0 V6
Now for the interior of the Highlander PHEV,it's a really nice place to be ©️
Will there isn't a Highlander PHEV
James Burrough Meant Outlander
does anyone notice that every single car he has reviewed has an interior that "is a really nice place to be"
Brilliant car revue, no stupid porno music, no bullshit, just honest feelings about the car. i'm gonna buy one now TY.
This is a great car !!! In europe is selling very well!!!
i've owned 2 v6 outlanders...i'm dealing with major quality issues....and mitsu and their dealers don't really do much to help. i put alot of emphasis on "made in japan" ....but wow...pretty bad. lots of issues...brake system failed and caused major paint damage on structural components...no remedy from the company. Only 4 months into ownership of new car...now i'm looking for lemon law lawyers in my area...add the cost of that to the cost of the car and i could've been driving around in a lexus for that money
This is as electric as a hybrid can be!
is there a scenario where this car would have to run solely on gas, eg: depleted battery ? Is it able to power the motors with the generator only or does it need to have at least some charge in the battery ? The reason I ask is because I wouldn't like to depend on the 2.0L engine doing only 117 HP in this heavy car. That would be a very unpleasant drive. Other than that the car seems fantastic. Thanks
I was able to test drive this SUV and I liked it a lot, the shifter reminded me of my Nissan Leaf but I got the Kia Optima PHEV and I love it, has some Stinger characteristics fun to drive, and I am in EV most of the time so I gas it up every three or 4 weeks. So now I have 2 EV's.
I wonder if Mitsubishi is that good to make hybrid cars then why they don't make the hybrid version of The Mirage model if they do that it's can beat the Toyota Prius gas mileage. I have a mirage and I get 38 miles per gallon combined and it's not even a hybrid car
I miss the Lancer 😞😞😞
What is the life of the battery?
Great video Matt. Like you, i'm not a SUV fan at all but this is a pretty attractive one amongst a sea of SUVs. I remember Jeremy Clarkson hated this car so much - although I shouldn't form all my opinions of a car based on what he says 😂
Haha yeah Clarkson is awesome, but I don't always agree with him either. He hated the Ferrari GTC4Lusso for example, and I desperately want one of those still lol.
Agreed! The grey GTC4Lusso that Shmee150 drove this week tuned by Novitec is amazing!
*I've been working with Elon Musk on getting a colony to Mars but that can wait. Matt just uploaded a new video.*

Good video, but if possible please try to speak quicker, please speed up when talking this would really help, Thank you
nice vid,,..whats the fuel tank size....total mileage per tank
How does they keyless entry work does it use a button or do you just grab the door handle
Review a 2018 Honda Odyssey
I will wait for their pure electric line up that can go to thousand kilometer in one charge!!!!
just quit and get out of the auto making scene mitsubishi, you betrayed us all, all your cars are irrelevant now.
letsroll Someone finally agrees with me! They have no enthusiast vehicles ever since they killed off the Evo. And their regular cars suck. The Lancer is outdated, the Mirage is a cheap-ass P.O.S., and the Outlander Sport has no sporty qualities to it. And, to make matters worse, they ruined the legacy of the original Eclipse with the new Eclipse Cross. Mitsubishi needs to GTFO of the automotive industry before they can screw with another model's reputation
Enthusiast cars don't keep your company around. they will most likely produce something when the market is stable enough.
the steering wheel sort of looks like a from a GM product however
good stuff
Thank you. My dad is thinking of getting a new SUV. 👍
Mitsubishi, omae wa mou shindeiru!
Jaime U NANi??
"Leather wrapped steering wheel, has a nice thickness to it too" ooo yea.
I like the exterior design...that's about it
I wish that they would bring back the evo I miss that car
I only watch because you’re cute. 😂😒 #foreveralone
Is there still hope we will ever see a new Evo sans EVhybrid?
I don't think there's any hope of that. Even the new STI might have some type of hybrid component.
Nice.
Somebody likes the word “cool”
Love Mitsubishi. I just love them!
I think that I heard this goofball say YA KNOW 397 times !!!
South Park Mitsubishi aka we won't work on your Eclipse GSX because it's "too old" joke of a dealership
It's a very nice suv , you know
Should’ve kept the third row!
What has it got that makes it a GT?
I just got and love it
Curse this car #ripevo
Eh, I'd rather have an Evo.
Review a Mitsubishi Mirage lol
Nice car 😍
No I don't know.
You Know.
WHEN WILL YOU REVIEW THE 2018 MUSTANG
Hopefully in April. Ford launched them right as winter was setting in and I didn't want to review one on summer tires that wouldn't grip in the cold temps.
Matt Maran Motoring Oh ok, excited! Getting mine in late march
I thought Mitsubishi was dead
Mitsubishi fanboys are so butthurt, it's getting ridiculous. It's not Mitsubishi's fault you make no money with Evos nowadays.
Mgoblagulkablong finally someone who agrees with me
I test drove the regular Outlander GT 3.0 and the only thing that I could take from the experience is how cheap the entire car felt. Nothing about it felt solid or quality. What gives??? Is the Hybrid just better build construction and quality? Or do we have to not tell the truth because we don't want to upset the manufacturer?
Build quality is better. The leather used in the PHEV GT model actually is thicker than the stuff used in 3.0L GT (dealer had them side by side so comparison was easy). It is also a heck a lot quieter in EV operation, but the car does feel noticeably heavier. If you drive with a lead foot however you should look elsewhere.
I would own something like this as a daily as the power sockets in the back would be useful for charging portable Power tools plus I might be able to fit a decent portable toolbox in the back.
First
can you give it a Doug score ?
Maybe a Matt score
Only $41,000. The way he was talking I was thinking he was going to say $22,995. Might as well by the Kia's.
Unless you want a Forte or smaller. If you wanted a Sportage or Sorento, they will cost ~$35k+ these days. Time to stop living under a rock John.
Don't touch my Rock. I'll buy used after you drive the new one off of the lot and take the hit. Have a great life.
Buy them for $30k now and 2 years later sell them for 8k
Why do you think the resale value is so bad?
Still selling close to 30k.
You talk like a Machine Gun - what is the hurry...???
Awesome review Matt. I have watched all your wrx sti reviews 2 which are the best on TH-cam. I just got a Demo 2020 Outlander Phev with only 2600km in Perth Western Australia. I had a 2014 model previously for 3 years & regretted selling it so am beyond stoked to have the newer model which looks awesome & has alot of major improvements including bigger quieter 2.4l engine, bigger 13.6kwh battery with 60km of range & slightly more powerful rear motor. Not sure if you will get this model in the states as the newer Outlander has arrived but believe me is a phenomenal car especially given the price point, regenerative paddles & ability to charge up every day & use hardly any fuel for months on end unless you go on a road trip. Keep up the awesome reviews!
I drove this the other day and was disappointed in the quality of the vehicle. The interior felt cheap and rushed. The steering column even has a plug blank where a keyed ignition might have gone. Really sad vehicle. Your reviews are too fawning and do not point out the true flaws.
Mitsubishi is a waste in the states, i mean at least make something for the younger demographic like you, used too. 2 door sporty coupe and a 4 door sporty sedan. Like it has the worst lineup in automobiles
I didn't know they still made Mitsubishi cars
Almost , I think...
Mitsubishi is an extremely popular car company in many Asian countries. In the U.S., they decided to focus on SUV's and tiny compacts only so they stopped making the Lancer, Evo, Galant, Eclipse...
Mitsubishi is still immensely popular in Asia & many parts of Africa. Actually, with this Outlander PHEV Mitsubishi has seen a strong resurgence in Europe & UK as well as of recent.
Wünsch ich mir?.
Sounds like it uses the Toyota hybrid system.
this car is 100% crap
bro u need to do a dodge neon srt4 review please!
Definitely gonna be my next dad car
I think that part of Mitsubishi's bad sales are due to bad looks. I mean look at that front and back end, my 10 year old 2008 highlander looks newer than that.
I think this looks much, much better than a 2008 highlander.

Mitsubishi just needs to fold and go away. Nothing they produce is outstanding in the market. Every other brand already has much better options. RIP Lancer.
archinuk417 just wait for their pure electric line up that can go to thouusand kilometers in one charge with really nice design!!!
