This is a Motormouth couple car review of the all-new 2023 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV, plug-in hybrid compact SUV. The new Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV has more power, a larger battery and improved range compared to the outgoing model. It has a 2.4-litre 4-cylinder Atkinson Cycle gas engine with a twin motor PHEV system. The twin-motor AWD powertrain consists of a gasoline engine and front electric motor driving the front wheels and a standalone rear-mounted motor driving the rear axle.It has a combined 248 horsepower and 332 lb-ft of torque. It has a 20-kWh battery, gets 61 km/38 miles of EV range and allows for up to 687 km/420 miles of combined electric-gas range on a single charge and a tank of fuel. There are plenty of drive modes to choose from, Normal, Eco or Power and four traction options, Tarmac, Gravel, Snow and Mud. There are four powertrain settings, Normal which is hybrid mode, EV, pure electric driving, Save, keep your range for later and Charge, use the gas engine to charge the battery. There is also a one pedal drive button, you will still have to brake, the vehicle doesn’t come to a complete stop. The Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV gets a combined 3.6Le/100 km, 64 MPGe. With the battery depleted, a combined 9L/100 km, 26 MPG. That’s 9.2L/100 km, 25 MPG city and 8.7L/100 km, 27 MPG highway. The Mitsuibishi Outlander comes with a 3.3 kWh onboard charger. With a Level 1 charger, it will charge from 0-100% in 16 hours, Level 2, 0-100% in 6 ½ hours and with a DC Fast Charger, 38 minutes to charge up to 80%. The new Outlander PHEV is the only non-luxury plug-in hybrid to offer fast charging. In Canada, the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV starts at $46,538 CAD, LE $51,238 CAD, SEL $54,048 CAD, GT $56,348 CAD and our GT Premium test model is $57,048 CAD. In the US, $39,845 USD, SE $42,145 USD, SEL $45,445 USD, SEL Touring $47,645 USD, SEL Premium $48,145 USD and 40th Anniversary Edition $49,995 USD.

I own a Outlander phev for 8years, no battery replacement yet 💪. Quality car. 👍
Hey guys, was originally dead set on the Sportage Plugin…saw this, went and test drove it. Long story short there’s a 40th Anniversary edition in my driveway. Fantastic reviews, never stop 🤙🏾

It took a little time for me to get used to it’s futuristic look. But I have come around. I finally think that this has become a great looking SUV. It is definitely has a unique look, especially when compared to the rest of the market. You’d be crazy not to check this new Mitsubishi out… if PHEV’s are your thing. Thanks for the video.

This is a compelling offering. It is not missing much. Maybe next year they’ll have ventilated seats. I love how Motormouth hosts provide their own individual opinions; review vehicles from an experience perspective; and provide every detail and more, that you would want to know.
nice job Mitsubishi!!!! we bought 2 of these and LOVE them!!! 20,000 miles and NO issues....bravo

We bought a 2023 Outlander phev in mid April. So far we have been receiving on battery alone between 75 and 98 km per charge and when the engine is running in hybrid mode we are getting 1.8 L to 100 km that is after the battery is completely discharged and the remaining 20% is left in the battery for hybrid use. On the highway driving in normal mode which is hybrid with one pedal driving we are averaging between 5.5 and 6.0 L to 100 km that is driving between 90 km an hour and 100 km an hour.

Definitely. I highly recommend getting the GT premium if you are in Canada or the top of the line if you're in the United States. Simply because of the leather interior and all the bells and whistles are included in the in the car.. the third row is for mostly children it is possible to have an adult same back there but I would recommend it only for children so it gives it does give you a true five passenger 5 adult and two children. My experience of the car is been ideal I'm getting exactly what I said before in both hybrid mode as well as in battery the battery level changes when you charge the car based upon the previous use so if you go easy on the accelerator then the battery charge shows more battery if you're harder on the accelerator the better it charged shows less battery after fully charging it's strange but that's the way it is. For the using the air conditioning heat pump you have noticed that when the battery is fully charged and you press either air conditioning or fan for heat the battery level of the car drops about 6 kilowatt hours it doesn't register on the gauge but it does register in the numbers on the dashboard. I found however that those numbers disappear and you regain them through regenerative braking over the time of the life of the battery charge so you really don't lose any kilowatt hours it just shows an initial drain and that drain is supposed to show over the entire range of the battery charge. The manual is like the Quran or a Bible it's very thick full of lots of information and I highly recommend you spend a whole evening or two or three reading every single page of the manual cover to cover before trying to figure out all of the different actions. On the steering wheel the right hand side has a little colored Circle device that's operates all of your cameras I use that all the time my procedure everyday and using the car is this our first of all started up and then I turned the dial on the console to eco then I press EV mode and then I press one pedal driving mode and then I press the colored circle on the right hand side of the steering wheel not activates everything in the car.. I use the cruise control in the city when I'm driving on a street that has traffic and I can follow at a distance the car keeps me at the distance it's a little slow on acceleration from stop but that's quite all right I can step on the accelerator to speed that up slightly but otherwise I'm very happy with it. The ride is rather firm because of the 20 inch wheels and the low aspect ratio but you get used to that over time and if you're driving on streets that are relatively smooth I don't even comes it won't even come into play. The lack of a spare tire is not really an issue they give you a tire sealant so if there is a flat tire and you call AAA or CAA in Canada they will try to find the place where the nail or the screw went in pull that out and then inflate the tire using the canister of sealant no real need for a spare tire. Be very careful with low aspect ratio tires do not hit a curb with them as they will cause internal damage to the tire and you will lose air pressure and they'll have to be replaced so I highly recommend being careful with hitting curves or coming I'm talking about hitting curves out of 90° angle or driving over driving over a curve at a very slow speed for parking and that kind of thing is not an issue but hitting a curb at at a speed of possibly can 15 km an hour or more is definitely going to damage hello aspect ratio Tire like the ones in the Outlander GT premium or high-end us vehicle. So long and short of it is I would definitely buy the vehicle again I love the car it's wonderful it's it's very fast and it's Graphics it gives you all the information that you need and want all the safety features are there for you. Cheers

Ok, my question is this: I drive about 30 to 40 kilometers everyday for work. Is it possible that I can be using the EV mode without buying gas for my daily driving needs which usually does not exceed 50 kilometers per day? Please let me know. If yes, then I'm going to get this car right away. Thanks a lot for the beautiful reviews. I don't know how to say thank you to you guys, but I make sure to watch all the advertising videos to support you guys. Please answer my question. Thank you.

Hello Mr Williams. You can definitely get in excessive 50 km on a charge with this car. I have never received less than 75 and as much as 104 putting 8000 km on the car since I purchased it. It's the best car I've ever owned. I use eco mode EV and one pedal driving mode as well as the advanced cruise control option almost all the time. This particular option does give you full stop and allows you to resume to your previously set cruise control setting following the car ahead of you from a stop. It's a little bit slower than normal acceleration using the advanced cruise control to resume but I find that it really helps save the battery because you're not putting a lot of Demand on moving this heavy car up to speed and taking another second or two to follow the car ahead of you. The car is quiet, smooth on the highway, has a firm ride has a fabulous stereo system and all the bells and whistles you can think of. Even when your battery is depleted which is down to about 20% which is hidden from your gauge the car will still operate on EV mode as you're driving but the engine will start up to give the electric power some assistance so that it never goes below the 20% Which is what can damage the battery by putting more demand stress on it at a lower charge. Even when running out of battery according to the gauge you have 20% of the battery left. You can even charge the battery at idle if you don't have your charging cable with you and it will take 90 minutes to charge up to 80%, and consume approximately 2 L of fuel to do so. Also, on the highway you can select charge and it will also charge the battery as you drive. I recommend not driving over 80 km an hour on electric motor has that does consume the battery a little faster at that point. what I do when I'm approaching 80 km an hour I switch it over to normal mode and leave it on EV and one pedal driving with Advanced cruise control with sabe option and the car will use the engine to assist in charging of the battery and giving you better range. So on highway speeds under a hundred kilometers an hour I would put it into normal mode and save mode as well as EV one pedal driving and that way with the advanced cruise control you get the best for the economy and Battery range out of your car. In 8,000 km of driving since I've owned the car I have used 19.5 KW per 100 km of electricity 1.1 l of fuel per 100 km and all the rest has been battery driving. The other big plus about this car is that it has a heat pump to provide Heating and Cooling which is very efficient as many of the other manufacturers still require the engine to run to provide Heating and Cooling to the passenger compartment . Not the Outlander phev. I highly recommend this car and you can always ask another question of me on this website and I'll answer it to my best of my ability. It costs me about $35 a month on electricity at 12 cents per kilowatt hour to charge the car on a daily basis. No it's costing me about $35 a month to drive when with my previous car it was costing me $400 a month on gasoline. Quite a savings. Mitsubishi says that the warranty for battery replacement would be if the battery degrades too 65%. Quite frankly if a person treats their battery properly and doesn't over stress it you should get well in excess of the battery warranty. With the gradation of no more than about 85%. If you have any other questions please don't hesitate to contact me via this website for reply thanks cheers
I'm so in love with this thing, as always great review Motormouth.

Excellent Review, as always!!! Thank you for explaining how preconditioning works while the vehicle is still plugged into the grid (Our local dealer sale guy didn't know that answer, not to mention the meaning of "preconditioning the cabin":)! The real-world hybrid mode consumption under official numbers makes more sense in a combined driving cycle.

The presence of heat pump, massage seats, rear wheel biased and the capacity to seat 7 people of this car could have prompted me to trade in my Sorento if the US federal tax credits still exist.

I test drove SEL trim and I must say it handles pretty good with very nice features. Few things I did not love is slow level 2 charger, depleted battery range and few other small things. Feature wise the top trim looks very close to my Lexus NX 450h. In fact if I did not have my NX, I would go for this Outlander. The only thing is not clear to me, you were saying HV mode gives around 6.5l/100km. At the same time official number with depleted battery is 9l/100km. Isn’t it the car is switching to HV mode after EV battery is depleted? In my NX once I run out of EV mode battery range the vehicle is switching to HV mode with about 30% battery charge remaining. The car does not let you use the bottom 30% battery for pure EV. PS. One pedal driving was also in Chevy Volt when shifted into L. I have used it in heavy traffic. Of course Chevy Volt is not produced anymore.

Having owned a Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV for about eight years and having just had a third battery installed, I can tell you that in my experience the battery in these cars will drop below 80% capacity in about 3.6 years. If your get a replacement on waranty, well and good, but the replacement cost of my latest battery was, I informed, A$12,000. Although these SUVs are great cars in many ways, I wouldn't buy another until the battery technology has been improved to not drop below 80% within ten years. That will not happen with lithium ion technology.

Hi folks, I really enjoy your channel, but forgive me for pointing out 3 things re: the Mitsu PHEV that I recently learned, First, it has a 1 speed tranny, which compromises the hybrid only combined mpg (only 26, 10 less than the Rev Prime PHEV) Second, although fairly seamless, it constantly switches back and forth between electric only, ice to drivetrain, and ice as generator. and third, when using region braking, the brake pedal depresses on it own, which can be disconcerting.

for those in much colder climates who usually need a block heater for their ICE engine - does plugging this in keep the ICE engine warm, or do you need an additional block heater for that? thanks!
I regularly get 90 km from a charge driving 50/50 urban/highway, have used 25l of fuel after 2600 km ,I only use recharge when going up hill,get 10 km charge going down hill,I charge at home at around 3$ a charge, which won't be an issue, when I get solar battery back up.
You guys have swayed me.
Love your reviews! Currently have a deposit on the sportage phev ex premium in Ontario, but now I'm torn . Do you think the base trim ES Outlander phev is a better vehicle for the money? Thank you!

I think they are both really good options but I like that the Outlander is compatible with a DC fast charger and the range is better than the Sportage PHEV as well. However, I am a big fan of the Sportage plug-in hybrid.
Hi there! Thanks for that great review as usual. What about the transmission, CVT I Guess? Is this the same CVT as the current Nissan Rogue? I know they share a lot of parts.

The Outlander PHEV doesn't have a CVT like the gas model Outlander and Rogue. It has a 1-speed transmission, since electric motors can turn fast there is no need for a conventional transmission or CVT. The gasoline engine only engages to the front wheel when the vehicle is at the right speed range approximately 130 km/h.

I’ve got the top of the range petrol Outlander which I love. I love the idea of the PHEV but I average 7.2 km per 100 now. I don’t get how the electric version would average 6.2!? Especially if you plug it in overnight. Add in the price premium and eventual battery replacement at say 10 years, it doesn’t make financial sense to me.
Thank you for posting this video I a.m. interested in his car. What caught my ear was that you mention it gets 35 miles per gal l in hybrid only mode-so is sounds like it is quite a bit better than the stated 27 miles/gallon -so 35 miles/gallon after the battery dies correct? -
Hey OL, why no homelink mirror opener or over-air software updates?
Hello Andrea! Thanks for doing this review. Me and my husband are still thinking about to get the new outlander PHEV. Comparing to the RAV4 Prime once the battery is depleted is the only disappointing feature of the outlander. While the outlander does 26 mpg, the RAV4 does an impressive 38 mpg as hybrid mode. Does this means that the outlander does not work as hybrid once the battery is depleted?? It seems that only works as a regular gas car. What do you think Andrea??? Thanks again

Hi there, we were getting much better fuel economy than the EPA numbers for the Outlander PHEV. Ours were 6.6L/100km, 35.6 MPG which is great. Others have reported as low as 6.2L/100 km, 38 MPG when the battery is depleted.

Will auto manufacturers continue supporting vehicles with this technology post 2035? Seem like hybrids and PHEVs are on borrowed time with the ban on gasoline and diesel powered cars not so far away. That said, this appears to be a good transition to electrification and Mitsubishi has a good product with this.
Wow! Great review! Love this vehicle other than the front end. I wish they could clean it up a bit but I guess it's a personal opinion. But my big question is - what's with the 8 ft pile of leaves on the road!!!! How does that happen!! Lol

Wow this MITSU looks more luxurious than any Infinity especially has better interior than the QX50/QX55 combined

In the Fall the city picks up leaves free of charge (3 times usually) from property owners. All owners need do is take the leaves of the property to the grass verge next to the curb or tightly against the curb for vacuum pick up. The video shot is a property owner being careless.
The Korean vehicles are also skimping on Engine size to reduce weight but charge the same or more. I looked at this vehicle when I recently switched my vehicle but couldn't digest the "futuristic" looks, but otherwise felt it's loaded with tons of features. LOL! I personally think Rav4 is the best of the bunch overall. Kia looks good for couple of days but feels boring really fast.
Hi Andrea and Zack, following your review of the Outlander PHEV, i found it strange that when the battery is depleated you only get 9L/100km on hybrid mode. Did i miss something. Also what is the reliability of that vehicule on a 10 years basis. Thanks and keep the good work. Pierre

I also find it strange that the fuel consumption is 9L/100km on hybrid mode. I would think 9L/100km would be on the gas ONLY (with 0 battery or in SAVE/CHARGE mode). If it's really 9L/100km on hybrid mode, that mean the PHEV is has efficient has the gas model? We know that the PHEV is 405 kg heavier than the gas model. 🤔

Dealer in Edmonton had marked up the GT model by 20k, and was up by $15k after the fed gov rebate, a simple calculation of savings will be able to clarify that no one will ever be able to recover the premium paid. As usual people are being gouged to go green, not really a green solution.
One of the reasons Renault/Nissan alliance's purchase of Mitsubishi is because of their PHEV technology, the other is they are hugely successful in 3rd world market on affordable small cars.

At the price point including the the provincial & federal GV rebates, this is a valid bargain. One little thing setting this apart are the peasant blockers in the top trim vehicle used in the review coupled with the quilted leatherette upholstery puts it right along premium brands, without the insurance of those premium brands. Another request, please include average yearly maintenance costs (atleast for consumables minus the labour) on this PHEV.

Hello, I own 2022 gas model and want to switch on the phev 2023. Is it worth it? I am really looking forward to your answers. What do you recommend?
The main reasons for people buying PHEV are to save gas cost and environment but these are far from the goals with the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV: 1. The basic trim PHEV MSRP costs C$14,000 more than the gasoline counterpart. 2. The combined fuel mileage is 9 for the PHEV and 8.9 L/100 km for the gasoline model if you deplete the battery. PHEV is much worse for highway driving at 8.7 vs. 7.9 L/100 km. 3. The battery driven efficiency is merely 2 mile/kWh or half of typical full electric SUVs like Tesla Y. 4. Using a typical electricity rate of 15c/kWh nowadays and a charge loss of 10%, each full charge of 20 kWh battery costs C$3.30 for about 38 mile or 60 km range. The equivalent cost for the gasoline model to drive the same distance at C$1.30/L of gas is C$6.94. Assuming a typical driving distance of 10,000 mi/yr and half of it is on pure EV mode, one would save only C$480/yr after deducting the slightly worse gas mileage for the PHEV. Assuming battery never needs replacement and no additional maintenance costs (one comment below showed his battery needs to be replaced 3 times in 10 years of ownership), it’ll take 29 yrs to pay out the additional $14,000 upfront investment not accounting for interest rate charge. Even if you factor in the silly Canadian government incentive of C$5,000, it’ll still take 18.75 yr to pay out. 5. Full cycle charging and discharging EV battery is detrimental to battery health. This is evident from many EV owners who only charge to 80% and discharging to 20% for battery longevity. For the owner wanting to drive the PHEV on a daily basis, one should expect battery life expectancy to decrease to about 15% of an equivalent full EV since you’ll be doing about 7 times more full cycle charging and discharging. I don’t know the exact cost of replacing the new Outlander’s 20 kWh battery but it should be easily north of C$5,000. 6. PHEV weighs 305 kg more than the gasoline model or like carrying 4 full size adults all the time. The additional weight must have adverse effect on the tire and suspension longevity. 7. It’s really irritating having to plug in and unplug the car every time you use the vehicle based on my 30 days rental experience of the vehicle assuming you have access to an electric outlet. 8. Comparing to full electric or ICE cars, PHEV with both components is likely doubling the cost of maintenance not to mention the impact of environment with EV batteries, etc.
How are the maintenance costs / parts availability of Mitsubishi in Canada?
I’m waiting for the seven seats since 2018. When they released the first one.
E-power with plug in 👏🏻
Great wagon, although frustrating that there is no control to manually turn the engine back to EV after its switched to (wheel-driving) gas motor. Clicking the EV button, even with no pressure on accelerator, does not switch it back to EV. Also, hows progress on increasing the EV mileage. Still at just 60km which burns out fast.
The 12.3 inch instrument cluster looks identical to the QX60 so does the button on the seat base.
Thank you so much, Just One thing I want to ask you, On a long drive how it works?, I want high power, LIKE, 240 HP, can I keep both ICE and Bettery both ON and can have best of both world? as you mentioned its ICE gives power to bettery so in that case it can, I guess, CAN CLEAR MY DOUBTS PLEASE?

The engines main purpose is to power the front and rear electric motors when the charge on the 20kwh battery is depleted. The power mode will give you some extra power to the wheels via a single speed gear along with the electric motors both in operation giving you some extra acceleration when you need it.

I’m not liking this trend of odd looking massive lights in front that other brands are doing too. I just like trends that evolve yet stay iconic.
I truly don't understand the appeal of larger rims. Just makes things more expensive while increasing the chance of damaging a rim on a curb.
Some of your info is out of date. The diagram showed the old motor powers. The clearance is now 8.3"
Why only 1500lb of towing? All the other PHEV's I'm looking at can do 2000lb+. If I didn't want the option to do a little towing I'd happily just get an EV. Disappointing as I've been hanging on for the release of the Outlander PHEV. Back to looking at my other options for now.
This is on my list to purchase, but not with the current interest rates.
2018-2020 models are so damn cheap even with low kms. I just found a 2019 with 60,000 kms for $34,000 Canadian. The cheapest I found was $25,000 Canadian. Save some money and buy one used. My father in law, when he retired in 2020 purchased a fully loaded 2018 outlander PHEV from his former boss had and it only had 25,000 kms when he sold it to my father in law for $30,000. My in laws love it for how much they run on electric power and how less gas they use. I told them yesterday I might consider getting a second generation outlander PHEV when my 2011 Mazda CX-7 dies in about five years or so. Of course the nearest mitsushitty dealership is an hour away from me, so I might go with a Toyota PHEV.
