In most cases, you are right, I would let the ICE start and warm up the cabin. But for a short 2 km ride to the local convenience store, I'd rather not want to use the ICE, which will burn 20 liter per 100km when started cold for a short ride with a lot of stops and red lights on the way. I'd...

Thanks PHEV07 for your report. -27 C is extreme cold, to my standards anyway! Good to see the machine did start, unplugged, and carried you back home at these extreme temperatures. I would think any ICE engine on non-electric vehicules would have a slow crank and some hesitation at starting up...

This morning: ambient temperature was -11C. Outlander was not plugged in, and hadn't been plugged for 36 hours at least. Battery SOC was displaying 7/8 full, and a range estimate of 46 km. Turned on power to accessories, and forced EV mode. Turned off cabin heat, but left seat heater on...

Phev07, I see weather forecast in Winnipeg is -25C. I feel for you. Hope the Outlander does not let you down.

The dealer is bul**hit. The warranty belongs with the véhicule not with the owner. This being said, the air filter is a maintenance item for which there is no warranty. Furthermore, your véhicule is out of the 5 year bumper to bumper warranty. So, the cabin heater issue is not covered anymore...

BobK, You are right! There was 13 cm of snow on the vehicule, which I had not completely broomed off. This is my first vehicule with a front collosion prevention system. I am not used to brooming the snow completely off the windshield, where the radar is mounted. For the rear, indeed there was...

As expected, all was fine this morning. Car was plugged all night, morning temperature -9C.

Température right now is-7C. After 9 hours charging on 110v, km battery went from 0 km to 50km. Pressed the ON button without pressing brake pedal. Everything looked fine in the dash, no warnings. Battery température gauge was approximately 2/5 up from Mostafa left position. Will keep charging...

I confirm: 8000 km for regular maintenance schedule, and 6000 km for severe maintenance schedule.

Incident this morning. Here's how the story goes. Temperature all night: -15C Outlander unplugged all night, (was fully charged the previous day). Power on the car: message displayed: Charge lid is open (warning). Got out of the car, walked to charge lid, was partially open, I closed it...

The maintenance schedule booklet for my 2025 reads the engine oil an filter should be changed every 8000 km in the case of normal vehicule service, and 6000 km in the case of severe service, which I qualify beause the roads are salty here in the winter. I expect to drive 75% in EV mode, and I...

$15000 in Québec.

Necessity is the mother of all inventions ! Well done MiPHEV ! This makes Mitsubishi look even more ridiculous with a non start condition under -25C.

PArdon my ignorance. What are MITO and ICM?

Driving a conventional vehicule was easy and straight forward. Starting to think driving a PHEV is not as much driving per say, but it is about managing energy real time in the most efficient way.:) My daughter was never much concerned about the fuel burn when she owned and drove a gasoline...

Also, I was curious how the single gear transmission was engineered. Conventionnal transmissions have several gears with several reduction ratios to gradually and smoothly bring the car from stopped to full speed. CVT' s will do same but with infinite reduction ratios by design. The single...

Good idea if you have a tire close by. I dont have my Outlander yet. Will be delivered next week. In the meantime, I used some calculations.

( I am a car mamiac. I am obsessed by mechanics. ) :ROFLMAO:

I have posted preliminary results in this other thread: https://www.myoutlanderphev.com/threads/2025-model-year-cvt-transmission-or-one-gear-direct-drive.6963/

I will measure true RPM as soon as I have the possibility, and report back here.
