THOUGHTS ON MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER PHEV? QCC #221

EV Channels Review

The Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV is presented as a compelling value proposition, especially when compared to Toyota and Honda offerings. The hosts highlight its strong range, second only to the RAV4 Prime, and anticipate further improvements with the upcoming 2026 model, which will feature increased range and an upgraded Yamaha sound system, alongside interior refinements. A key concern addressed is a past issue with the 12-volt battery failing in extreme cold, though a software update was implemented. Potential buyers are advised to ensure a local Mitsubishi dealership is accessible. The discussion also touches upon the Outlander PHEV's growing success in the Canadian market. While acknowledging the potential for good deals on 2025 models, the hosts suggest waiting for the 2026 version if budget allows, particularly for the enhanced features like the sound system.
