I purchased one. I took delivery on March 28th. I traded in a 2019 Mercedes Benz B Class. I didn't really like the front end, but it has grown on me over the time that I had to wait for it to be delivered. But I think that it's its weakest point. Family and colleagues say it's very sophisticated looking and my brother and sister in law think it's nicer than my B Class. The interior blows me away. The ride blows me away. The build quality blows me away. My gas gauge has moved one tick since I took delivery. I purchased a GT model not a GT Premium which is what is shown in the video. The only difference is that you don't get the upgraded leather seats, massaging front seats and 4 way lumbar support instead of 2 way. By the way, I purchased this with the intent of using it as a two row vehicle. I doubt the third row will ever be used. However, there is a video on KZfaq where they load 7 adults in and head to Starbucks, so it can be done if all three rows compromise on the leg room. It rides great on the highway, which is when I put it into Power mode. I also quite like Tarmac mode. When not highway driving, I drive it in EV mode all the time and it easily charges to full overnight using a standard 120v outlet in my garage.

Hi Kenneth! So glad I found your video. I test drove the SEL model today, and signing the paperwork tomorrow -- getting a nice BLUE one! YAY!!! I shall sleep a lot better tonight... your comments helped me feel even more confident about the purchase. We met a few times at your displays in Erin and Cataract last year. I'm thrilled to be joining the growing ranks of EV drivers, even if it's a PHEV (this time). As you say, a great transition option!

Thanks for the review! -- I bought my 2023 Outlander PHEV (SEL Premium) 4 weeks ago - local dealer (Columbus, Ohio - USA) had 7 Outlander PHEVs on the lot. I got mine for $1,200 UNDER MSRP and the dealer gave me $31,500 for my 2018 Acura TLX -- I paid $18,000 plus tax for the Outlander. I have driven 1,340 miles -- getting 78 MPGe. I am plugging it in every night for my daily commute and weekend errands. It feels "luxurious" inside -- premium leather, panoramic roof, 360 camera, power folding side mirrors, heated, steering wheel, heated seats, hands-free tailgate, head up display, Bose speakers AND massaging seats! If I take a longer drive, I will have no "range anxiety." Plus, the Outlander has a 10-YEAR WARRANTY. ONE BIG NOTE: the owner's manual clearly states that the 3rd row is ONLY for people under 5' 3." I do not need a 3rd row, so I "tri-fold" it. This opens up a HUGE, DEEP storage well. And, I can stack duffel bag items on the folded 3rd row! The RAV4 Prime may have better overall mpg, but the 18-month wait and $12,000 "dealer adjustment" are outrageous. One local dealer wanted $65k for loaded Prime with MSRP of $52k. I did not consider Kia or Hyundai brands -- "Kia boys" have stolen 3,000 of them in my area (and assaulted drivers in the process). This is a real issue. Lastly, my home solar panels will be installed in 6 weeks along with a Level 2 charger in my garage. The Outlander PHEV is the PERFECT choice for me in 2023. Final note: the local dealer now has 14 Outlander PHEVs on the lot and offering $1,250 off MSRP. Availability, luxury, value and price -- a great vehicle to "step into" electrification!

Very good review. The car does have full stop when using adaptive cruise control in one pedal driving mode when following other vehicles as when the vehicle in front stops this car also stops about 1 metre behind. I've been getting 75-85 kms per charge in EV, Eco,and one pedal driving mode combined when using adaptive cruise control. The third row is tight but if one moves the front pax seat forward and the second pax seat behind forward the same amount then there is sufficient room for a small adult and children. It is NOT a useless feature! I have a 9 yr old and he sits just fine regularly in that third row with no complaints as with a baby car seat and mother in second row and wife with self in front that third row is very handy. The only complaint I have is the side curtain airbag does NOT cover the third row. A fauxpas by Mitsubishi! Another fauxpas is the towing capacity as the IDENTICAL car in Australia and the world outside of North America the car is warrantied to tow up to 3600lbs or 1600kgs. The car is quiet. I have Nexen tires which are not to my liking yet are mud and snow rated though noisier than General Altimax rt43 in my Ford by quite a bit. However the car is quiet. I have received the Australian fuel economy rating of 1.6l/100 kms after the battery is depleted then in hybrid mode around the city but normally around 1.7. Using the car as a hybrid and driving 90-100kph I get 5.5-5.8l/100 kms which very good. My 3.0l 2007 FORD gets 11.5l/100 kms at it's very best. In town the Ford gets around 15l/100 kms. Taking into account electricity charging I am saving $3600 a year in fuel costs here in Victoria, Canada. At this rate the car will pay for the plug in feature in 2 years. I use the full features 100% of the time. I notice that when the heat pump/fan/AC is turned on the km range drops 6 kms from full charge but the battery level shows no change. The loss, if one can call it that, is easily recouped by the regeneration. Power is superb and instant. Transition from electric to ICE to electric is imperceptible. The sunvisors also side out a little to cover sun coming in a right angles. I do have a problem with the audible parking sensors as the front ones are negligible over 12" - not good. Rears are better but not 6' as advertised. I'll have the dealer look in this as it is a warranty issue. I'm sure it'll be resolved. The cameras work perfectly and are really good, clear, and also at night. Wish Mitsubishi had dash cam and rear cam as an option. Turning radius is excellent- very tight. Disagree about the cargo cover in the review though as putting baggage with the cover intact is easy and lots fit. Removing it and storing it when away from home is awkward as reviewed but frankly if storage to be needed in the day then I take the cover out before departing. Putting it back in place is not an issue with rear seat flat. I don't like the loudness of the audible pedestrian warning sounds as they should be lower when moving forward as they can be heard inside the car under 45kph. If I had my druthers I would remove the forward one. Seating is superb - my wife attests to that almost daily. Massage feature never used. If anyone has any questions I'll respond. I love this firm riding car that corners like it's on rails.

Hey, I really appreciate you going over the adaptive cruise and lane keeping features. This is a must have for me and a lot of reviews sort of just gloss over it. Really digging this and also digging the fact that you can actually purchase one.

Great show buddy and very nice 👍

Excellent review. There is a way to force this vehicle to be only electric even in cold weather (it's in the owners manual). By using this trick, we have our gas consumption down to 0.7 Litres/100km. It's looking like we can go for several months on a tank of gas with our city driving.

I love your honesty and loved the comments regarding 7seater, technically it's a 5 seater Very good clear informative video

Thanks for the review, should i take Titanium grey or White diamond .. unable to decide

Hi, what about the head space for the back sits? It doesn't look high enough for the passengers taller than 180-185 cm?

In parallel mode the engine is NOT sending only SOME power to the wheels, but the most of its power, since it is coupled directly. Motors only assist.

good video, thank you! one question, please: how often do have to go to service? is there still an annually plan (which is very boring)?

The cover fits is a slot when the third row is up.

Did he calculate the cost of the electricity used? I heard saving 2,000/ 20,000 km driving in gasoline, but not sure if in the 2,000$, cost of gasoline was factored.

Great video! Have a question.....In which trim has the 120v power outlet, and how much watts & amps allows to give? Thanks

Chademo in 2023 in North America? I suppose fast DC charging is not really that important for a 20 kWh battery PHEV. Much cheaper to AC charge.. Also I really like your update to the KZfaq intro and outro. 🎉

Bought one SEL trim realy like it. It got a spot to put the lid when the 3rd row is up. The only complain ive got is the charging solution witch i found to be kind of stupid. Dont get me wrong it get the job done but speed charge chademo 40kw on a PHEV is a lost of time. 45-50km (80%) in 30-45 min wich is 13$/H in Qc so about 7$/50km = 14$/100km = 8-9L /100km what is the point just stay on gas. An the 3.4 kw home charge is a 2 sided knife! Public lvl 2 are 7kw so it take twice long and cost twice the price to. That's a paint but, the home installation would be much cheaper if you know electricity a bit and dont get riped of by the dealer or the electrician installing 50 amp 240v circuit an outlet and a fix 7kw charger, that you dont need at all. That would cost about 1500$-2000$ minus any gouvernement incentive if you got one of those. Let me detail the cheap version you need 20am 240v so 3 wire 12 awg an outlet 20amp 240v non GFI 2 pole 20 amp breaker and a portable charging cable 3.4kw 16 amp on 240v. Should cost 300-350$ you miss any gouvernement incentive of 600$ but you dont pay 2k$. So it will be cheaper of at least 1000$. You will be happy as long as you dont use public charging station. That car is just simply not made for that they should have skipped the fast charge completely and lower the price.

The diagram at 6:00 refers to the engine as a motor. It would be better if it didn't.

7 japanese fit for sure in this car.

Again, you don't know what you are talking about when talking about the pedal. It's not even expected that acceleration pedal to FULLY stop the car. What happens is, when the pedal is depressed, it switch the motors as generators. They use the inertia of the car, mechanical energy, transforming it into electricity to charge the battery. Thus lowering the speed of the car. This is why it is called regenerative braking.
