2023 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER PHEV 4000 KM/MILE LATER

EV Channels Review

After 4,000 kilometers, the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV proves to be a compelling option, particularly for its value proposition and practicality. The reviewer highlights the impressive real-world EV range, often exceeding the advertised 61 km, with some users reporting over 80 km. The seamless transition between electric and gasoline power is a significant plus, making it feel like a conventional hybrid. The standard third-row seating, while compact, adds versatility. Positives include the abundance of premium features for the price, such as the HUD, quilted leather, massage seats, and Bose stereo, especially when factoring in potential government rebates which can significantly lower the cost. The reviewer also praises the 'set it and forget it' driving experience and the convenience of the 360-degree camera and hands-free tailgate. On the downside, the infotainment screen could be larger, and ventilated seats are notably absent. Charging speeds, particularly on Level 2, are considered slow, though this may contribute to battery longevity. The need to add fresh gas periodically to maintain EV mode is an interesting, albeit minor, quirk. Overall, the Outlander PHEV is lauded for its efficiency, features, and overall value, making it a strong contender in its segment.
