I am due to get a 2018 model next week on lease. I have been told that there is no change to the price at all.
StevieB said:Right, having a spoken to a few kind Mitsubishi folk, I can confirm the 2018 model has the following changes:
MMCS is now removed, and replaced with a system that has Apple Car Play.
(This has FM, AM, DAB, Bluetooth & USB connections. but no CD slot, and no SatNav).
You will need to pair your Apple or Androd Device to the screen, to use satnav from your phone.
Cobb said:If these changes have been made to the new 2018 model perhaps Mitsubishi have had to reduce production costs by cutting out some features such as SAT NAV and a sunroof in order to keep the 4H MSRP price below the critical £40000 road tax threshold. It was already only just below the threshold once a non solid paint had been added. I would be surprised if they could keep the price below with the 4HS though. Also with the government grant of £2500 due to go at the end of March that would be another potential pressure on costs of buying the car. Lets see when the brochure and price list comes out.

This is the system that is in the current Juro model in the UK (in case you want to look at one now). In my opinion it works very well and the Apple Car Play Sat Nav works for me.

Has anyone got any experience of Apple / Andriod with this?
My favoured satnav app at moment is TomTom Go - taffic alerts are very accurate in my experience. Do all satnavs apps work - or only selected ones?
My lease is up in 4 months and seriously considering another 4h.

Looks like the 4HS and 5HS still get MMCS but everything else gets SDA with Apple and Android.

I thought that might be the case. I'm collecting mine in Aberdeen next Tuesday, 2018MY 4H!

I intended to go for another, I've been very happy with it, but the lack of integrated satnav on the 2018 models could be a deal breaker for me. Whilst the MMCS is not great, it worked. It even managed to successfully redirect me due to congestion on a few occasions. BUT I live in North Wales, and often camp around Snowdonia where phone signals can be non existent. And guess what.....it's when I'm driving around unknown rural tracks that I need the satnav! And maybe it's just a point of principle, but I'd seriously resent having to buy a TomTom to add to a brand new £40k car! Not that I want to clutter a dash with aftermarket equipment and messy wires either.
I suppose I'll have to take a look at the VW Passat GTE Advance (which has satnav, sunroof, heated seats, electric seats, powered tailgate, etc.).........

I can't find a reference anymore ... but I remember I did read somewhere that next Outlander PHEV (2019?) should have bigger battery compared to the current 12kwh pack
Using more modern Lithium battery I'm sure they can squeeze at least 20kwh in the same space without weight penalty and without a relevant cost difference ...
Since 2013 battery did evolved in capacity and price .. and the old GS Yusa LEV40 look very outdated now.
Still .. the "GT" with 3 e-motors and more sporty look was very interesting ... but ... I'm not sure Nissan who does control Mitsubishi now has kept this GT project alive
