2019 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV UK Review! New Motoring

We're back in the 2019 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV, but this time in the UK. The updated Outlander PHEV has a new engine, new batteries, a new electric motor and a new generator, so it should be more efficient but also slightly quicker. But is it worth the money?

I’ve owned a 4h model since 2016. Loved it so much just ordered another 4h and looking forward to the positive changes they have made. Really great when I can run for a couple of months without having to fill up. Perfect communicating car as long as your daily journey isn’t more than say 25 miles in total, or you have a charging point at work.

Great review, very informative. Thanks

[@colinwilson9122]

Had my 2019 PHEV for 4 weeks now and love it. Average fuel consumption over those 4 weeks is 92mpg

[@micgent]

What is your ratio of EV to ICE miles please

[@timjenkins8538]

The idea of putting a PHEV system in an SUV is really quite an ingenious one! Have a commute less than 14 miles and youre sorted. Shame they didn't update the interior though

[@newmotoring]

More and more companies will do it! It'll be interesting to see what comes out over the next year or two. And they did, but like the outside you need to look hard to notice the changes.

[@Shavenuw129]

There is a distinct lack of cubby holes; two cup holders in the front and that's about it.

[@Baldy444]

@@Shavenuw129 got 2 more in the boot though 👍🤣

[@Shavenuw129]

I have a MY19 and it is a fantastic car. My commute to work and back is about 7 miles so only need to charge the car every 4 days or so. I've driven 1600 miles so far and I've used about £42 petrol! Drive the car as it was designed to be driven (serenely) and the rewards are outstanding.

[@newmotoring]

You've got one already? Speedy speedy! It absolutely makes sense for you then. Guessing the petrol might have been used for a longer journey? Glad you're enjoying it anyway!

Interesting video, I currently have a Range Rover sport and want to go eco in some form, the new RRS is stupid money and as you say there are many alternatives right now that can drive on electric only for short trips. Michael

When it launched in India

[@leytonthomas2043]

I am considering one to replace my diesel Mercedes company car. Not sure about achieving high MPG due to the type of driving involved, more like 35 MPG in the real world. My benefit however is company car tax, this car attracts a very low BIK value with a Net figure of £235/month as opposed to £740/month for the Mercedes. I took one for an extended test drive the other day, I must say I was quite impressed!

[@alexscott782]

i just ordered one cant wait :) 23mpg is killing me at the mo lol

[@briggsmajor2315]

pro trick : watch series at kaldrostream. Been using it for watching lots of of movies these days.

[@judegary2766]

@Briggs Major Definitely, I have been watching on Kaldrostream for since november myself :D

[@stuartcraigon2003]

It's a lot less ugly than the previous model. I really liked the first phev but hated the second. I really like this one.

[@rogerstarkey5390]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but there is no direct connection between the petrol engine and the wheels? Therefore, there's no real reason to quote power and torque. It's basically a petrol drive for the generator that charges the battery and/ or runs the electric motors. No review seems to explain this.

[@Shavenuw129]

The engine is not simply a range extender. It can charge the battery and /or power the front wheels directly.

[@RiRi_Phoenix]

You haven’t watched many reviews then. The engine acts normally and also powers the generator.

[@Mike01Hu]

At high speeds there is an automatic clutch that directly couples the ICE to the drive chain for the front wheels only; this disengages when the speed drops and the control switches back to EV mode or Save mode as selected. There is no manual override for this.

[@ianmiller6698]

As far as I know the plug in grant has been scrapped.

[@newmotoring]

Unfortunately yes... This was filmed before the announcement unfortunately!

[@MichDuedahl1]

Beautiful car. Can you While you drive switch from Electric to petrol.🤗👍🏼❤️

[@Mike01Hu]

There is a mode switch that allows you to select "Save", which uses more ICE and saves electric power for town driving or when extra power is needed, like steep hills, a "Charge" mode that does make the ICE charge the battery and provide motive power plus a full EV mode.

[@elliot330]

someone educate me please! You quoted 28miles on the battery or combined cycle is 156mpg. So if I fill up 1 gallon of petrol and fully charged battery then I can drive 156 miles? I know thats not correct, so how can the combined cycle be 156 mpg? i don't get it? sorry for being thick!

[@laserbeam191]

you are right I never get 156 mpg on mine, the only way to get close is to charge it every 28 miles not practical.

[@danield.7359]

Great car, great video, but the music is awful.

[@newmotoring]

Thanks Daniel! And fair play. It's difficult to find music everyone likes sometimes!

[@rubenmalaga]

I would like my parent to have this car so bad. I already convinced them. They are just waiting for their 23 year old car to stop in the middle of nowhere. And my mom will love me forever for removing the clutch from her live.

[@BrianDias007]

You mention the government car subsidy in your video - it no longer exists

[@frank-7279]

Dont buy this, car. It has major bmu/battery issues! People are now signing petition

[@Mike01Hu]

You're watching too much of the mad German Australian's fixations with his PHEV. He has no technical knowledge of LiPo battery systems, their performance at varying temperatures coupled with power absorption and delivery and driving conditions.😉

[@frank-7279]

@@Mike01Hu i have made my own testing regarding this Car with Mitsubishi equipment. The problem is real!

[@Mike01Hu]

The issue is the same for all EV's and much worse for some. I concur that battery management software is an issue but this is such a complex subject that compromises have to be made and that happy median may not suit everyone's environment, driving conditions, charging schedules and driving styles. On my MY19, I have noticed no overall degradation in SOH; in fact there has been an improvement recently, possibly due to temperature changes. My driving tends to be very varied with long trips interspersed with local shorter ones, the latter mainly in hilly terrain. I use the granny charger with occasional quick charges, if available.

[@frank-7279]
