Would definately recommend them. I got the lower two spec model offered in New Zealand for just under $50000. Currently only done 2500km with about 800km of highway driving of which half was towing a boat trailer and put petrol in it twice. The price for the PHEV is only $11000 more than the 1.5 turbo version and there is a government $5750 rebate for PHEV vehicles so it was the only option. Also no road user charges for next two years.

Its fine around town on purely electric but its underwhelming on the highway and you can not floor it and pass easily like you can in most cars. The Escape phev has more power and is a nicer drive on the highway. It will also do over 120kph on pure electric power, so can cruise happily at 100k on electric only for short trips, and for passing trucks the engine gives a bigger kick, Its a better drive all round

You show the fuel milage as 7.2 l/100km. I would suspect that this is running it mostly in charge/save or normal mode starting with not much power in the battery. One thing to note is that the fuel usage calculation resets everytime that you stop the car so it is difficult to get the overal fuel efficiency when on a long trip. If you stopped the car during filming it will have reset the fuel use calculation. There might be a way of getting the info as it does keep historical data like how much power has gone into the battery each month. This does give you a way to calculate the electricity cost. On a mid range open road trip of arount 80km I get around 3.5 l/100 km if the battery is full when you start. The battery will be empty at the end so effectively you are paying half price for fuel in this case. They are no overly efficient in petrol mode because of the weight of the batteries.

@racymasey
8 ай бұрын
Just realized you question was a yr ago. My research has found that South Australia is the only state that has approval for "V2G or V2H ". The snag is that you need a device ( Wallbox Quasar 1 is the only certified bidirectional charger in Australia I think it sold for around $4000) fitted to your house Solar system that is compatible with the "CHAdeMO" plug on the car that can connect to your inverter. The device has apparently sold out & the company is working on a new model that will have to be approved for use. so currently you can't buy one going into 2024. The other thing to consider is the cost of electricity, if you are on a flat kw rate from your electricity provider in SA you are going to be paying 50- 60 cents a kw. The Mitubishi Eclipse cross "PHEV" has a battery of 13.5 kw. so to charge it from your home to say 80% - 10 kw is going to cost a minimum of $5. 10 kw is only going to give around 35-40 km = around $ 10 for 70 -80 km ($12-13 /100km ( equivalent petrol at $2/lt = 6-7 lt/100km) which is quite expensive unless you have a solar array that feeds more than 15 kw back into the grid daily. Then the PHEV will be worth the extra cost of the battery as you can cruise around short trips as a pure EV for next to nothing, & when the hardware is available add the car as backup power to your solar & that is worth about $12000 currently. Also if you live close to the CBD there are fast charging places owned by "Jolt" (there's an app for it) that let you charge 7 kw for free & 46cents for additional kw. I take delivery next Friday, can't wait to drive around for free without range anxiety in this rather attractive small SUV. (subjective of course).

Phev technology needs to be properly analyze if you really want to save Gas. Heaps of people out there have a Phev SUV but they use it improper and unsuitable to their surroundings, In short it was use wrongly. For example, many out there owns a Phev but when they travel long distance they shift the Regenerate Braking in to Drive mode or D witch is wrong because it will consume a lot of Gas because the force of regenerate breaking still high and that engine will have more difficulty because the brake is still stuck and it needs more gas, The Proper way of using phev on a highway is shift your steering wheel shifter to B-O and if your going down a hill then that's the time you shift to K1 up to K5 if you need to add a little on your battery. Phev is a very complex technology, If you know how to use it then you get a good result.

You can ignore the buttons and drive it however you like. But if you want more control, the buttons allow for that. Normally, if you drive heavily, petrol engine will spin up for more power as needed. The EV button prevents that unless pedal is all the way to the floor. So it prioritises EV only driving. Normally it will generally use the battery for as long as it can when driven gently, then when battery is low it turns on the engine like a normal hybrid, and helps power the front wheels (if over 80kph or so) and charges the battery up a little at the same time, then turns the engine off again. It's not going to waste all that petrol FULLY charging the battery, since it has no idea of your plans - you might be driving back home where you'll plug in and charge with solar. So why charge the battery wasting all that petrol? So the CHARGE button tells the car "use the petrol, i want the battery charged' and it will charge up. This could be handy if you're heading to a country cottage or similar where you'll use the CHADEMO port to power a shack - you want the battery charged. Or if you intend to drive a little approaching home in silent mode without the engine running, and you want more charge in the battery. If you're getting home at 3AM and want to disturb someone. Or in some parts of the world there are transport lane benefits driving in EV mode, places where you aren't meant to run an engine. You can charge up first, should you want to. Now the SAVE button is similar to automatic operation when it's flat, where the engine turns on and off to keep the battery level about the same, but instead of keeping it the same when empty it keeps the same charge in the battery you already have, or maybe about 80% or so I think. So it's a way of saying to the car "i want to keep good usable capacity in the battery, but i don't care about the battery being 100%' so for example, you're driving from Adelaide to Melbourne. It's a long trip. You're at highway speeds. You're stopping and adding petrol as you go. On the highway, the petrol generator -> charging -> ev flow is very efficient. But around town, start stop, you want to use it as an EV. Save is a good thing to use on your long highway trip and use the EV mode around town when you get there. If you're bothered... the car makes pretty sensible choices anyway. One thing to note is that the max energy consumable by the front and rear electric motors is MORE than what the battery alone can supply. So maximum performance comes from the combination of power coming from the battery AND the generator run by the petrol motor. So if you were towing a caravan up a hill from a standing start, and you can tow with these cars, unlike a Tesla... if you press CHARGE to force the engine on, you get MOAR POWA. :) Disclaimer: I am yet to own any of these Mitsubishi PHEV's but I'm very familiar with their workings having read internal Mitsubishi technical bulletins found online, and have been keen to get one for years. Currently I drive a car built on the same platform as Outlander, but its an imported Delica D5 4WD van, excellent for our family and Australia. But I wish they would make a PHEV version of this car, I really do.

Great review as per usual I'm interested in facts and not someone's opinion or bias, and I can all always count on Paul. I'm definitely considering an Eclipse Cross PHEV or the yet to be released Outlander PHEV. I enjoyed this review, it's a shame so many people commenting here are not paying attention to comments. Keep up the great work, can't wait for your review in a few months on the all new Outlander PHEV, I'll be deciding on an Outlander PHEV or Eclipse Cross PHEV based on your review.

Like all this type of plug in hybrid or full EV you would be stupid to drive out of town at highway speeds without a spare wheel so the need to have one means is even less boot space .

Excellent review Paul as usual. Can't believe there is some Bozo idiot, commenting you should change you review style . Nice car but I don't understand why such a large company can't get the simple design fundamentals right, like adequate phone storage and wireless charging, moree rear leg room, standard quality infointment system. it can't be that hard to get it right when you're paying designers and engineers a fortune to work out the simplistic. And it happens with every car company.

Mitsubishi interior is the worst, so bland and low quality plastic everywhere. That's why the new outlander's interior has a huge contrast compared to other Mitsubishi cars because the new outlander's interior is designed by Nissan.

we drove one this week and were not that impressed - its heavy and shows it, acceleration for passing or merging is lacking - more power is required from the engine. Its comfortable though. In purely electric mode It depletes the battery too quickly around town and it would be better if one could disengage one electric motor and run on just one , ie just the rear wheel drive - that would surely increase mileage on just the one motor. ( it has 2 x electric motors ) The infotainment is outdated compared to the competition. The Ford Escape outshines it in all these areas, but we are awaiting the new Niro PHEV to test it...

your reviews are good, but don't you think you need to introduce some different ways of presenting reviews. Each review starts in the same exact sequence, kinda getting boring now. Try to show engine specs, open the bonut, compare with other cars in similar range, talk about city driving and high speed maneuvers etc, compare different models etc.....and that soft touch meter.. get rid of it, it is useless ;)
