It does use fuel. When the system uses the engine in this mode it then continues to run on idle for 2 mins till the engine warms up even tho it is no longer providing regen braking. Hopeless system.

It has an aircon but it cools only. The 1 pedal mode does bring you to a complete stop by regen and friction brakes, but then u have to put brake on because it releases the brakes after a short time. One pedal doesnt start the ICE, for braking but B5 does if battery is over 60%. B5 doesnt apply...

Yes it is clear from yr uneducated guesswork that you dont own a 2022 model. I suggest u take one for a drive, until then keep yr abusive comments to yrself.

I can see why u might have been suspicious. Apology accepted, not many people would have done that so huge kudos to you. 8-) I think we are the guinea pigs for new model launch in NZ, so may come yr way. Mitsi NZ have had huge negative feedback about this feature, so it might get fixed, hopefully.

No heat pump but has electric heater, about 3kw so fair sucks the battery. I do a 74km round trip to work including a 320m hill (brake pedal to get regen on way down as the paddles are useless above 60% charge) and some 80 to 100kmh roads. I can do that on a charge if I dont use electric heater...

It doesnt happen in 1 pedal mode. Just when you use REGENERATIVE braking via the paddles. Doesnt make sense. 1 pedal consistency is achieved by initially max recharge the battery can take, then friction brakes, no engine start. Engine only starts in regen braking mode 3, 4 and 5 via the...

Hmmm no response from greendwarf. To apply the logic he applied to my lack of instant reply, I think he must work for Mitsi, and was trying to bury some negative feedback. Or maybe not...... 8-)

Yeah mostly great improvements to protect the battery. However, just limit the current to the battery at high SOC. No need to start the ICE from cold and rev the shit out of it. Protect the battery, damage the engine.

No it occurs without 1 pedal driving on. It only occurs when u use B 3, 4 or 5 for regen braking. 1 pedal driving stops this happening and is Mitsis solution to the engine start problem, just use intelligent 1 pedal mode. Big change from the previous models. Just be aware it happens. If you...

Exactly. It seems the extra energy the battery cant take at high charge levels, is diverted to the generator in reverse driving the ICE for air pump braking. Mitsi have confirmed to my dealer it is intentional to provide more consistant braking force when using B1 to 5. Stupid idea. I want max...

No, I own one. Just trying to make people aware of this change. Wouldnt have bought it if I had known it had changed this much. I had a 2015 PHEV before this new one. Driven PHEV for 5 years now. Perhaps greendwarf should take one for a test drive, with a battery above 60% charge and see for...

The new release Outlander PHEV 2022 has a major fail in the Regen braking system. The settings B1 to B5 are available via the steering wheel paddles, BUT, if the battery is above 55% charge, the system STARTS THE PETROL ENGINE to provide braking force rather than returning power to the battery...
