Just purchased one this week. Picking it up on Saturday. Installed the Chargepoint which can also charge Tesla's at Level 2. I'm excited. I was driving a Telsa Model S 90D for a while and pure EV isn't meant for our cold weather in Canada. Range anxiety is real for a full day if driving across the GTA. Anyone knows that feeling when you're under 200 km in the winter, the next 100 km drops very fast. Anything under 100 km and you're frantic for a super charger. For the airport people who are plugged in, then can charge everyday remotely or on schedule, cars lose EV power daily especially in the winter. Tesla model S 90d loses 15 to 20 km sitting idle. Only issue with a Tesla is that being plugged in does not charge the 12 V, even if you remotely turn on the Tesla...which I eventually had to replace the battery this year under warranty.

Great video review. Covered all the bullet points of this awesome utility vehicle. Thanks for sharing!

Gotta say... you really made a good case for this car.

Apparently the next Gen Outlander PHEV will have between 80 - 100 km of EV range (will qualify for the $5000 rebate). If that version makes it into Canada, I'd be very interested.

Does it start in minus 29 celsius have not a startmotor and i think the battery vill froze.

Thanks for this review. Say, did you happen to take it up any mountain passes? I'm a little south of you in Seattle, and this would be my ski car. How tiresome (wind/road/engine noise) do you think it would get to get up a mountain 2-3 times a week? Thanks!

Great review as always! I like this vehicle even though it’s a bit dated

[MartynStandage]

Great review, bought one six week ago a superb car and so so cheap to run

[islandmerchandise]

As a generator, if the charge is used up, I can run the engine which charges the battery pack again to make another 100 smoothies? I mean Does the engine charge the battery? How did you get 10 days?

Hi Brian, did you driven the car in normal hybrid mode, and/or "Save" mode? If so, what were the MPG?

when I was in NZ, we rented a 2.4L Outlander, and no matter what/how we drove it, the best we got was 10L/100km. The fuel was about $2(NZD)/litre, it was not fun paying for fuel.

Mitsubishi is going to be announcing a refresh of the PHEV with more range, updates and shiz. It will also be launching an all electric ASX

Well, I see that my country (France) is not the only one with crazy taxes on gas. Nice review as always.

I give up...does it have a 3rd row or not? lol

Your two little girls are so beautiful!

People need to be aware of the very real battery/BMU issues with this suv. The software will very quickly downgrade your battery capacity. Its commonplace to see a battery capacity at 90% of your initial capacity in less than a year. It's a very real problem, around the world.

too bad it is using 10 years old EV powertrain technology. If it had twice the battery size, 200kW electric motors combined power, and the engine not connected to the wheels but acting just as a generator, then it would be great.
It has also been reported an issue with the BMU software, that keeps degrading the battery capacity, regardless whether the battery has actually degraded

Lol. Rear seats are crappy. Would not risk any child back there.
