FWIW, Wired UK also noticed eTransmission un-refinement when going uphill. An excerpt from their review: https://www.wired.co.uk/article/mitsubishi-outlander-phev-2019-review

Good point, I updated it :) The same dealers that told me USA will get the forked version, they also said it would be here by November. They also verified they did not receive the March 2018 Canadian memo saying they would get the forked version. So at this point, I guess it is possible either...

You know for sure MY2019 will be forked like Australia? Source?

1. I would wait for MY2019 if possible, extensive changes mentioned here: http://www.myoutlanderphev.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=3755 | It's true at this point, no one knows when exactly the fully updated version will arrive in the USA 2. Keep in mind Mitsubishi does not offer battery-drive...

The 2.4L is coming, it is a question of when. I've gone back and forth on this over the past months, at this point, it is anyone's guess as to the following two possibilities: - MY2019 for USA will be forked, meaning old powertrain, new skin. This is the version Australia got, so far, they are...

Differences between MY2018 and MY2019 are extensive, this post details the differences: http://www.myoutlanderphev.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=3755

According to Tirerack.com, any wheel that is 8" - 9.5" (inches) wide will accept 235/40 18's, but most if not all Mitsubishi Outlander 18 inch wheels are only 7 inches wide. They also do not recommend this size for the Outlander "because it is too short and would affect the odometer...

Probably more like relatively low USA pricing = low equipment levels. Not sure there's too many places in the world that sell the Outlander PHEV for less than $30,000 USA dollars, about $25,000 Euro's or less, and that's before the federal and state credits, here's one example...

New Motoring review in the UK: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ea6dBmpeNag Also, first official video I've seen specifically for Outlander PHEV accessories, from Netherlands (love the white on dark-wheels look): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OhBPOtkiO4A

If you don't mind, I'll expound/add a few more points against the Subaru in addition to what you mentioned: - as you mentioned, smaller EV battery = smaller Federal tax credit, specifically $4,500 versus Outlander's $5,836 (gap widens to $6,700 with the 13.8 kWh battery, whenever that's coming)...

RAV4 Hybrid looks good... real good, wish there was a plug-in variant: https://www.motor1.com/reviews/286495/2019-toyota-rav4-hybrid-first-drive Gotta stop looking at it, otherwise I'd convince myself it's worth the $8,000 difference (it's not).

The Pajero's of the 90's were bulletproof (true, a lot of vehicles in the 90's were, the vehicle era of over-engineering), still, the Pajero is legendary and has a cult-following in many countries. Outlander... not so much :) , at least it shows Mitsubishi's potential to make good vehicles. The...

Hello Anko, please allow me to clarify. The OP asked what the "fanship" was for this vehicle, to understand if this was a good vehicle. I replied a better indicator of a good vehicle (versus asking users on a forum dedicated to a vehicle) is purchase loyalty, where Mitsubishi, at least in the...

3 words: Federal Tax Credit :) I'm actually more of a Toyota guy (if there was a plug-in RAV4 for 2-3 thousand more, I would get it). Whenever US gets the 13.8 kWh battery, that credit rises to $6,711, plus another $1,500 state (California), meaning at least an $8,000 difference to anything...

Hello Brian, to find how much people like a particular brand or model, usually the best gauge is repeat purchases aka purchase loyalty. This can be seen in various surveys, such as in the USA by Edmund's, which puts Mitsubishi near the bottom...

Subaru takes a shot at the Outlander, http://tractionlife.com/2019-subaru-crosstrek-hybrid-preview , excerpt: Ouch. While mechanical AWD is admittedly more capable off-road, I'm guessing most people will not notice the electrical AWD's limitation, and not having a driveshaft is more reliable...

Except in this case, some users including myself view the default settings as too aggressive for the battery drive, the default settings could be set as the upper limit. For example, lowering the battery charge range to 45-75% is less aggressive than the default range of 30-90%(?).

Looking through the manual, it states the ICE will turn on "in cold weather... if the vehicle has not been used for a long period of time... if the engine has not been started for a long period of time". Also this "When the ambient temperature lowers, the engine will start frequently, even if...

It's not just the availability of the chargers, but also the limitations of battery technology in its current state. Refueling an ICE is exponentially faster than the fastest charging, and fast charging itself is not good for the battery long term.

According to users who have been tracking battery performance with PHEV watchdog, it appears the full charge goes up to 4.10 volts on full charge, which is about 92% full capacity (please correct me if I'm wrong). There are some interesting threads in this forum that suggest some improvements...
