Other tweaks, including softer front seats and revisions to the suspension and steering, are meant to improve comfort, Mitsubishi says. The Outlander gets a new front end, a lower skid plate and 18-inch alloy wheels. What’s New on the 2019 Mitsubishi Outlander? There aren’t many competitors for the Outlander PHEV, which only comes with five seats and can travel up to 22 miles on electric power alone, the EPA says. Not to be confused with the smaller Outlander Sport, the Outlander competes with crossovers like the Hyundai Santa Fe, Toyota Highlander and Kia Sorento. Front- and all-wheel-drive versions are available. The four-cylinder pairs with a continuously variable automatic transmission while the V-6 works with a six-speed automatic. An excellent vehicle.Mitsubishi’s seven-seat Outlander SUV is available with a 2.4-liter four-cylinder or a 3.0-liter V-6 engine. Tarmac mode tightens everything up for fast twisty roads and the rest we have not tested others including eco mode (yes we are getting 1000 miles per fill up not using eco mode).
You can also charge parked in your driveway! The drive modes give you options but we default to normal. Don’t use Charge or Save for Urban driving. On a longer road-trip I would use charge if the road is long and flat. Charge mode does work very well but can drone the engine so we use save mode for longer highway drives. We don’t use pure EV as normal mode defsults mostly to EV. EV Normal mode is best and operates as a hybrid but 90% EV (unless heavy highway). Initally the EV and driving modes may appear overwhelming. We charge it with a type 1 charger at home and for some reason that gives us a better range than when we try with a Level 2 charger. The EPA rating appears low and I think it is closer to 44 actual driveable range with the type of driving we do. When fully charged we are getting 54 -60 miles of indicated range and this is similar to the marketing claims and reviews in non US markets. EV range varies based on driving style and type. Our driving is urban plus limited highway. In our first month we will get 1000 miles before we fill-up with gas (not using eco mode). If you charge it regularly the fuel economy is excellent. A bit of engine whine when the engine cuts in but really nothing that bad. Interior quality appears good with excellent comfort and space. … Given the PHEV system used, it drives more like an EV. It has excellent cargo space with the third seats down and again with the second down. We have the SEL touring that is premium minus the Brown interior bits, massage seats and black roof.
It is primarily my wifes car and bought becuase of the space.
