Has anyone come across any YouTube videos of the PHEV in a cross-axle situation? I’ve tried a few searches but all that comes up are the diesel Outlanders, and one video of an idiot who doesn’t seem to know how to drive off road. I’m interested to learn how the 1st gen PHEV responds as there are...

I’ve read many times that the PHEV cannot handle cross-axle situations due to the open diffs. Has anyone come across any YouTube or similar footage demonstrating this? I’ve tried a few searches but nothing relevant comes up.

On previous threads last year I bemoaned the off-road performance of my PHEV when going around shooting estates, but found it was OK when I took it around the easy sections of an off-road centre near me. As another season starts I have had Geolandar G015 all-terrain tyres fitted as the only...

I have just measured the ground clearance under the thicker part of the exhaust on my unladen 2015 (original specification) PHEV, and it was only 167mm, far below the quoted ground clearance of 190mm. The tyres are 225/55R18 at 35 psi so all as per specification. What I am not sure about is...

I thought people would be interested to know that the battery warranty for the PHEV in the UK has been improved, with a specific statement on battery capacity. People may already know this of course but I didn't! There is now an 8 year / 100,000 mile warranty on the traction battery, including...

So, my 2015 PHEV is coming up to 2 years old, has done nearly 35000 miles and battery is already down to 88% of original capacity according to EVBatMon. I've not been impressed with it off road, and am aware that Mitsubishi appear to have forgotten all they knew about SUV design when they...

I took my 2015 PHEV to Wagtail off road centre in Shipston-on-Stour today to try to work out whether it would meet my needs of being able to get around shooting estates safely as I had a bad experience last year (but the mud then was a lot deeper and wetter than I had thought). The PHEV was on...

Hi all, Just got EvBatMon and found that my 2015 PHEV is showing 87.6% of original capacity after only 21 months and 32000 miles, where it has been charged virtually every day. This got me thinking that the chances of the car being at 80% of original capacity at 10 years (As Mitsubishi claim...

It has been many months since we were all advised to unpair and delete the remote app due to the ability of thieves to turn off the alarm. Since then, nothing heard. I assumed that Mitsubishi would be developing a more secure app, probably with a software upgrade needed for the car. Have I...

Having been disappointed with the performance of the PHEV in mud, I've started to ponder alternative tyre choices. As I don't do a lot of off roading I'm wondering whether a decent all season tyre may be a better bet than an AT tyre (but am not sure!) Has anybody got any experience of the...

Had a disappointing experience with my PHEV recently, and am trying to figure out what to do differently next time. I was out on a shooting day and decided to try out the PHEV in a muddy field we had been in earlier in the day when a Discovery Sport and Dacia Duster had done well with their...

Hi all, My PHEV 4H is only 18 months old, but I've noticed some wear marks on the steering wheel, in the positions where my hands naturally sit. The car is going in for the 25000 mile service tomorrow so I mentioned this when booking in. The servicing chap said that this was something they had...

Hi all. Got my PHEV in the Spring, and have a 28 mile round trip commute to work. To date it has managed this in EV mode, but with the weather starting to get cooler I'm wondering what the effect of lower temps will be on battery charging and EV range. So what reduction in range can I expect...

OK, only had my PHEV for a bit over a week. First long trips today and over next few days. Have used Ecotricity charge points today, but only 11 EV miles left and no prospect of another charge for 2 days. Do I just run it as normal , let it deplete the battery and then carry on as petrol...

I am on my way to Portsmouth from the Midlands for a few meetings. Am going to use the Ecotricity charging ooints where I can. I looked as zap map and there are charging ooints around Portsmouth as well, but on different networks who each want you to register at £20 a pop and then charge up to...
