I was driving my 2023 in EV mode as the temperature was dropping and at about -7C and got a message that I needed to turn EV mode off if I wanted to maintain heat. Apparently the heat pump had hit its limit and the car needed the ICE to maintain heat. The car was warm and I didn't have far to...

Except the fuel level (and weight) decrease as you drive. Batteries stay at their maximum weight.

In my area they are currently taking deposits on an 8 year waiting list for the RAV4 PHEV.

I have the same car as you also in Canada but with the GT trim (don't think that should make a difference). My cruise control behaves differently. It will bring my vehicle to a full stop when the vehicle ahead of me stops, then after a few seconds, a message will flash on my heads-up display...

Towing experiences: The manual pg-12-17 tells us not to not tow anything for the first 800km (500miles) and then when first towing, to not drive the vehicle over 80km/hr (50mph) for the first 800 km (500 miles) of towing. Also, due to the higher loads on the engine, the interval for oil changes...

Towing hitch: I asked for a towing hitch option when I bought the car. There was at least a 2 month wait, so the dealer suggested I may want to get a 3rd party one installed (which they would not do). I talked to a trailer company who would not do it because they were unfamiliar with the...

I’m going to break my experiences towing with my 2023 Outlander PHEV into 3 postings to make it easier to match comments. Towing Capacity: When I bought my Outlander there was confusion about the towing capacity. The US sites seemed to say 2000lbs, the Canadian ones 1500lbs. The local dealer...

When my Subaru died for the third time and was being towed away, the Mitsubishi dealer fortuitously called me to mention some 2023 Outlanders were arriving and was I interested in one. I said yes and asked him to hold a blue one with black upholstry. When I arrived at 5:00pm same day to close...

It is a Canadian 2023 Outlander PHEV with GT trim. In Canada they are only available as 7 seaters.

The new Outlander has an option to connect the car to your house to act as a backup generator. I think it use the bidirectional Chademo port, but not sure. I can't see the logic in this, since I don't want to run down the car and be trapped when I don't know how long I will be without power...

On my 2023 PHEV, I believe the reason the ICE turns on as soon as I select defrost mode is because the heat pump switches to cooling mode to dehumidify the air. Since the heat pump can't cool and warm at the same time, the car needs to use engine heat to warm the air. This works reasonably well...

We are now getting many days with below 0 Celsius (32F) temperatures here in Atlantic Canada. I asked the head technician if my 2023 Outlander (bought this summer) had a battery heater. He said no, but in his training he was told it uses current heating to heat up the battery. By this I assume...

I will never need to take 7 passengers in the cramped space that the 2023 Outlander provides and I need every inch of cargo room for my wife's business, so I had the dealer take out the rear seats before I took delivery. I am attaching photos to show the removed seats, the hardware the dealer...
