Yes, got it! I picked it up on the 21st. After the car dealer replaced one of the tires and balanced the wheels again, the ride has become smoother; I have to go back once more for this, I suspect at least one of the tires has a flat spot (The car stood on a ship for 5 weeks). I have had no...

No, didn't need to. The drive system is the same throughout the range. The only difference in the Dutch trim levels is the two top versions having an electric heater. The simpler versions lack this, and rely on the ICE for cabin heating.

The PHEV is now being delivered to customers in the Netherlands. As mine is scheduled around Christmas, I have made regular visits to the dealer to make sure it will be here before year's end. On one of these visits I had the opportunity to make a test drive, which was very,very nice.. :D :D ...

This has most likely been caused by the battery problems Mitsubishi has encountered earlier this year with cars already delivered in Japan. On top of that they have booked a large number of orders from the Netherlands that have to be delivered before year's end, as a change in Dutch taxes per...

Someone found the message below and posted it on the dutch PHEV forum: 19 Apr 2013 | Japan Lithium-ion batteries: Further GS Yuasa troubles Zoom × CloseToyo-keizai Online, Yomiuri-online and Livedoor Online News in Japan have recently reported in Japanese on further problems with the large...

I've been taking another look at the photographs of the dashboard and the pictures in the Japanese manual. I noticed the presence of an 'ECO' button and the display showing a 'LOCK'-status on the EV-mode, so there must be a way to force EV mode. :D

As I read all this, I think the 10 cubic feet of cargo space got lost going from the MY2012 to MY2014 for all Outlanders, not just the PHEV.

Not sure if this link will work for you, but I got it from: http://www.mitsubishi-motors.nl/uploadedFiles/Parent_Site/General_Contents/Outlander%20PHEV%208%20Leaflet%20low%20pix.pdf and...

The (preliminary) technical specifications reveal: The Outlander PHEV has a 60 kW (~80 HP) electric motor both front and rear, so 160 horsepower in total. Together with the 89kW (~120 HP) internal combustion engine (ICE) total power would be 280 horsepower (210 kW). This amount of power would...

In practice the fuel consumption will largely depend on how often you can recharge the battery, during the tank's 45 liters of petrol. The 1.6 or 1.9 L/100km figure is realized during the EEC test. This test is normalized, so equal for all vehicles, but not representative for normal use! For...

From the folder I understand that it's not possible to manually select drive mode. Two buttons allow for (extra) charging and for saving battery power. I would have liked a 3rd button for locking full electric mode (even below 30% battery capacity). In that way you would be able to 'empty' the...
