USA auto market is one of the largest (now overtaken by China), but probably the lowest margins anywhere. For example, where else can one get an Outlander PHEV for about US $29k? The flip side to that is manufacturers will generally limit choices to volume models and configurations, and for the...

Macrumors (out of all sources) has verified that MY2019's are in USA and are currently being distributed to dealers: https://www.macrumors.com/review/2019-mitsubishi-outlander-phev-carplay Availability should be sometime in March, pricing seems unchanged. Update: looks like some USA dealers...

The upcoming Mitsubishi Engelberg, aka 2020 (or 2021) 2nd gen Outlander, will make its Geneva Show debut within the next days. Silhouette suggests less concept and more production ready: https://www.autoblog.com/2019/02/25/mitsubishi-engelberg-tourer-electric-crossover-partly-revealed-i...

Take it with a grain of salt, Carscoops rendering of the 2020 Ford Kuga/Escape:

2019 Volkswagen Passat GTE (not sold in North America) has now surpassed the Outlander with its 13 kWh drive battery and WLTP range of 55 km/34 miles (versus Outlander's 45 km/28 miles). Granted not an AWD SUV, but similar price and size: https://insideevs.com/new-2019-volkswagen-passat-gte-debuts

The subject says it. Please allow me to explain. Mitsubishi decided that USA (along with Canada and Australia) would not get the fully updated model the rest of the world got for MY2019 - USA will get a forked model, meaning updated body, old powertrain. The fully updated model will probably...

Thanks, added to OP.

Thanks for sharing. This has been weighing on my mind, and not just from this one user, from others too. Might be abandoning my Mitsubishi musings...

That's disappointing, as Australia already got this forked version a few months ago, it's already late, which means MY2020 that will have the powertrain update will also come late. VW/Ford/Hyundai alternatives can't come soon enough. I've been holding out, might go the Prius Prime route...

Hello Phil, Google "10th digit of VIN", the letter value corresponds to the model year (which is not necessarily the same as manufacture year).

Nice review from the Irish Times: https://www.irishtimes.com/life-and-style/motors/mitsubishi-outlander-phev-plugging-the-gap-between-now-and-the-future-1.3740948

No update at this time. I've contacted a few dealers, and they're unsure as well, 5 months ago they said it would be here in November, and here we are in December. Typically one can get a better deal when both the old and new models are together on the same lot, but with the relatively low...

Good to know, I'm not too far away from Anaheim so I'll check them out when the time is right, thanks.

Thanks for sharing, for posterity, it would be helpful if you could specify the part names and where would be a good place to buy them if possible? Been looking myself for a good place for OEM accessories.

So how much does it cost again to get the battery replaced, parts and labor? Would genuinely like to know what the dealer charges for this.

Not sure if it's undersized, but Mitsubishi did enlarge the front rotors by a noticeable 1 inch/25mm for MY2019: from 11.6 inches/295mm to 12.6 inches/320mm (also the rear increased too, though strangely the press release did not mention this. Rear rotor goes from 11.9 inches/302mm to 12.6...

Going past the seeming technical inaccuracy, there is the feeling here, the driving experience, of uphill unrefinement.
