It would seem that a hybrid engine installation on a car should significantly save the owner's costs, but not everything is as simple as it seems at first glance. Salon Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV is quite spacious and comfortable. Rear passengers do not feel discomfort. The quality of finishing materials is all at the same good level. The only change is that the luggage compartment has decreased a bit. Its volume is now 451 liters, and with the rear seats folded down, it increases to 1,600 liters. You can significantly transform the car by applying some tuning solutions for the Mitsubishi Outlander.
The hybrid version of the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV contains three engines - one petrol and two electric. The first engine develops 121 horsepower and has a volume of 2.0 liters. Two electric motors show a power of 82 liters. With. each. The first hundred kilometers per hour are reached in 10.5 seconds. The maximum speed is 170 km/h. It should be borne in mind that the car weighs almost 2,000 kg.
This all-wheel drive crossover uses the PHEV system, which allows you to drive exclusively on electric motors. True, the range of travel in this mode will not exceed 40 km. But what really confused me was the consumption of gasoline, which in reality amounted to 7 liters with a kopeck. This is without the use of electric motors. In addition, the not weak cost of this crossover is striking. Compared to its competitors, Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV clearly loses here.
All in all, the all-distance hybrid vehicle is very comfortable, and the soft suspension ensures a pleasant driving experience.
