Hi all, I really like the idea of an outlander PHEV, however I'm in two minds. My commute is 50 miles long, sometimes 70. And motorway economy is a concern. However we have two cars in the household and I could swap with the wife (providing she doesnt think the car is too big) which would...

Thanks ThudnBlundr, that's some great info. It's kind of what I assumed how the system worked but great to hear it from someone with experience. I did assume the best use of the ICE is to mechanically drive the wheels as to generate electricity to drive the motors is simply additional power...

Thanks kpetrov. Ideally what I need to know I think is what kind of mpg the outlander PHEV will do without any charge. I did see a useful video from a chap in Australia on this. I'm aware of how ICE efficiency works, I have a Jaguar XK8 4.0V8 and a Passat 2.0 TDi and it's all about loads. The...

Thanks all, this is great discussion. For me I know my commute will involve ICE usage, there's no getting away from it with EV range of 15-25 miles. So I understand the philosophy of letting the car work itself out, I get that, hundreds of hours of calibration and programming and testing in...

Thanks, whether pre or post facelift it would have to be a 4H minimum for heater mainly, and for the projector headlamps on the pre-facelift. For me pre-facelift has some benefits: - I prefer the wheel style on pre-facelift - I like the styling, front end is more "range rover" style - General...

Hi all, My driving usage has changed over lockdown and set to be more home working. I've always admired the engineering of the Outlander PHEV and now might be in a position to own one. Anyway I was just wondering if there's a buyers guide available (UK based) with what to look out for and what...
