Felix Egolf goes 824km on 1 charge/fuelup in Outlander PHEV Some of it is lost in translation, but here's the full article: http://www.autozine.nl/nieuws/nieuws_archief.php?nk=13177 What's the furthest you've made it on a single charge and fuel up in your Outlander PHEV

Mitsubishi's future plans include hybrid models and major overhauls of the brands vehicles. According to Don Swearingen, Mitsubishi's executive vice president for sales and fixed operations at MMNA, Mitsubishi wants to extend the plug-in hybrid system to other products. Swearingen says sales...

Thanks for the details on this, I also had wondered how the braking functioned when driving in normal conditions.

The feel will be better on the 17" I'm sure, but I don't know how much different. Where I live we have very strict rules on studs in the tires, but that would make the grip very much better on the icy roads!

Mitsubishi says the Outlander PHEV just received the highest possible score on the 2013 Europe New Car Assessment Program. Euro NCAP puts new vehicles through some of the world's toughest safety tests. This recognition comes after the Outlander PHEV was awarded Car of the Year Japan, as well as...

The last I heard was that Australia was delayed 8 months - which put the release around January 2014. http://www.myelectriccarforums.com/mitsubishi-outlander-phev-launch-delayed-8-months-in-australia/

It's not just you - I have that problem too...

That's right, you get no sympathy since I'm waiting until 2015 in the US! :lol:

So it looks like Mitsubishi is so excited about the Outlander PHEV, they've decided to work on concept vehicles that are also plug-in hybrid electrics! This week Mitsubishi announced that at the upcoming Tokyo Motor Show in Japana, they will reveal a series of 3 green SUV concepts. 2 of those...

I'm not sure I knew this already, so I thought I would post it here. I knew the Mitsubishi Outlander Plug-in Hybrid was all wheel drive, but according to NewsDay, the PHEV will have full time all wheel drive. Could this be because of the instant power of the electric motors, in order to make...
