2023 PHEV Outlander - real life EV range test! | Part 1 

From my experience,the cabin heater is the range killer. It is way more efficient to use heated seats. Thank you for this test. If you could achieve 70km with heater on, the car can easily achieve 90km without heating. Great result. Thanks again...

Just got my outlander phev sel and it’s crazy Mitsubishi have actually done a good job on this car

"b0" is best mode for driving when there's little to no traffic as you can coast the car on slopes or on flat roads at lower speeds it is easy to hyper mile in this mode as the car just carries on the momentum without trying to put it into the batteries which will cause to loose a lot of energy in the process (putting it back into the batteries and then converting into mechanical energy looses about 40% of the energy during the conversion).

Thank you for doing this. Nice to know :)

I regularly get 90 km on a charge, with about 50/50 urban and highway,I only run it on charge when going up hill, and regularly getting 7km extra charge going down hill,have travelled 2500km and used 25 litres of fuel,power bill is about 3$ a day , but won't be an issue when I get solar, battery back up

Love your informative video!

very nice , Excellent Review Mr Mitsubishi and Beautiful Outlander

I would love to know what the hybrid range is.

How much? How are the availability? You guys charge a mark up for this car?

Great INFO ! ! ! ! ! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

thank you so much for such crystal test

The following tests would be interesting as well: 1. When driving mostly on a highway with full battery charge 2. When driving only in a city with full battery charge. 3. When driving with empty battery in a hybrid mode to see what is the fuel consumption

I noticed that you pushed the regen button and the ev button when you started out. I have been doing this since I purchased my phev in January. I thought that was the best thing to do, but by accident I forgot to do that a month ago and when I was on the highway, the parallel drive kicked in. I have taken the car to the dealership complaining that the parallel drive wasn’t working, and they said it was working fine, but nobody told me that it doesn’t work when the regen paddle is pushed on. The mechanic also said it would only engage when I get the speed up to 75 miles per hour, and they showed me a printout from the manufacturer. I have seen it engage as low as 65 kilometres per hour. I’m so happy with this car now.

Greetings from Los Angeles. I have ordered a 2023 PHEV. Is it the case in Canada that the car can not be configured and equipped with a hitch directly from the port, and that we have to wait until April to get it installed at the dealer? By the way. I have been watching Mr. Mitsubishi for months. I am a big fan and would have bought from you if you were in Southern California. I will stay subscribed to your channel and look forward to more PHEV postings. I have so many questions about packages and options.

Thank you for the great content. When the battery completely depleted and the ICE kicked in for the remainder of your drive, what was info screen showing for yout gas consumption? The window sticker for the phev says 9l/100km. Is it that high in hybrid mode?

One thing I learned after driving an electric car for 180k km. Coasting is your friend. One pedal won't get you the best range. By coasting I was able to cover 15km of distance using only 2km of range. Maybe around 1-2 percent of battery was used

Cool car & review. Although it’s not a good idea to be entertained while driving 😊

Hi there great video! Just wondering which type of fuel to put into a PHEV? Octane 91, 95 or 98?

Using the heated seats and heated streering well is better than using the AC. Eco + 4WD lock force the car to put more traction on the back wheels, which is also better for economy. I think this vehicle can easily get 90 kms out of the winter season.

Are the Outlander and Leaf the last two PHEV/EVs with a Chademo option, or is there another model that hasn't been discontinued yet?

Hello , my question is did outlander phev GT P havé only Black and orange color interieur???

What would the battery life be , if it has to be replaced and what would the cost be ?

what is the actual range for a full tank of gas and full battery charge with mixed city and hightway drive?

Thanks the last thing you want to do is use single pedal when looking for max range, single pedal does not allow the car to ever coast it's either on or off reducing range. It's more for convenience than range. The reason single pedal and Innovative Pedal wastes energy, is because it’s over reactive and erratic in use. There’s no real neutral for coasting, it’s like a switch, it’s either on or off, you’re either accelerating or braking and never coasting. You lose the ability for a smooth transition between power and braking. In other words, if you need 10-40 kw of regen to stop your car “then you are simply waiting to long to let off the accelerator”. Regards - Mike

In general, what will happen if a PHEV is used like an HEV (where the plug charger is rarely or never used)? Will it hurt performance, range, or reliability?

Hi MR Mitsubishi I was wondering if u can tell me how much is 2023 outlander Phev GT premium with tax and everything including dealers fee in bc thank you.

very innovative cool epedal and infotainment system 😂 I advise you, if you turn off everything and push the car downhill it goes much longer than that 😂

Thank you for producing this video and I truly appreciate your doing this to show us your finding on real World EV Driving Range. It is unfortunate that you did not show the range on a fully charged battery with the Cabin heater off. Had you done that I am quite certain that the range would have indicated 85 to 90kms on a full charge. Also, because the car only had 50kms on the odometer, the quessometer did not have very many kilometers to base it's best questimation on. It needs to be noted that whenever the cabin heater is turned on, it automatically drops the range by 15 - 20 kms because the resistive heater elements do draw about 15kWh/100km. You can check this out by turning the Cabin heater off then on again. Please note that using the heated seats and steering only use around 0.5kWh/100kms because they use the 12 volt system whereas the Cabin heater uses the Main Battery, 400 volt system. Next time you test drive the 2023 Outlander PHEV, please note and show the total km range that is displayed with the heater off. Plz also note that in the summer, when the AC is turned on, only drops the displayed range by 5kWh/100km. Resistive heating uses a lot more battery power then AC or heating of seats and steering wheels. I also noticed that the ICE did not turn on with the ambient temp of 7'C. Quite similar to my old 2018 Outlander PHEV 12kWh but unlike my current 2022 Outlander PHEV 13.8kWh, which constantly starts the ICE at Temps of 7'C and lower when I have my heater on. I do love the added features of the 2023 and large main screen is awesome. Although I not particularity like the front of the vehicle or the 7 seater, I will be in contact with my dealer in Winnipeg and get a hands on look and test drive the 2023 Outlander PHEV 20kWh which may well be my next PHEV. Thank you again for doing such great videos and for sharing them with us.

Nice. We must keep our water bodies and roads clean.

Can you tell how many Kw left on the battery when the a ice kicks in?

Please make video about the acceleration of this vehicle 0-100 and 0-180km/h.

you actually did use a lot of gas during this only EV range test!! your gas range was showing 734 and after the test was showing 682 which means it is still use gas during full EV range!! is that correct what I saw? i saw the odometer shows a total of 120 after EV range finished but the gas KM should not change until EV full range is finished, right?

gas only mpg please

Everything is better when its new, range might change after certain time of battery depletion

How is this car for uber i drive 300 km everyday. Plz leave suggestions

Awesome! Thanks for the review. I was wondering how much you can run on electric only

70km thank

e-pedal (Nissan) blends regen AND friction-brakes.. Braking that hard on a full battery, the Outlander must do the same. Regen is good if you have to slow down, bet it's always better if you can coast instead, avoid regen. In most cases, more regen means you've been to much on the throttle, giving double losses compared to lower speed and better planning, thus more regen gives less range!

If my calculation is right this means ~30kwh/100 km. This is a very important figure as most people will pay that electricity and for the moment it is cheaper than gas … but this car is not the most efficient when it comes to EV Driving

There are a lot of claims from the owners of the new Outlander PHEV that it would start the engine at the start of the trip even though one have selected to drive in EV mode. The engine would work for a few minutes and then turn off. Can you do some testing to see how this works or maybe you have some explanations from Mitsubishi why it was done like that. Engine starting when it was not requested is a very annoying feature for many old generation Outlander PHEV owners and based on a feedback on various forums it is a deal-breaker and the main reason why some would not get another Outlander PHEV, so it is strange why Mitsubishi chose to do it anyway. Even stranger is that the previous model Outlander PHEV did this only in US/Canada, but not in other parts of the world, so it looks like it was done intentionally by Mitsubishi only for US/Canada region. Even if they did it for a good reason, they did not explain it, so it just looks like a software glitch. For example, if you want to take a short trip to a local store and you have a fully charged battery, the car would turn on the engine anyway even in EV mode, without using any heat, etc.

The quoted 84km range in the Outlander brochure is based on NEDC. [Not even dam close] Its a nice vehicle but if you are going to drive it electric only just buy an EV and then you don't need to drag a 2.4 litre combustion engine along. Based on 20kw battery capacity the efficiency is very poor. In you test that 70 km battery range is only 3.5km per kilowatt.

Hi can u do a test with zero battery?

It is reliable? Yes it's made in Japan but Mitsubishi Phev hasnt been proven itself yet

Hi I'm assuming that after battery went out of power you had the engine to take you back. The explanation was not clear. On scale of 1 to 10 I give you four.

So how many km of EV range? 69? Nice.

Take your foot off the accelerator.

The E-Pedal is never optimal for range, the best way to get maximum range is to have the car coast and then brakeregen with the brakepedal.

Probably the worst explanation of how the '1 pedal/e-pedal' system works, I have ever heard🤣

The steering wheel looks like a toy.

This is, of course, biased.
