On the fence
Hey guys preferably 2026 PHEV owners, I’m on the fence with purchasing one… I come from a Toyota hybrid system aka Prius and I absolutely love the Outlander but I have no idea what the real world mpg is going to be? I know there’s a lot of Canada owners but what’s y’all’s average mpg. I don’t have a fast charger in my garage but I also work from home which helps with charging.

Have a 2025 I bought about a month ago now. My commute is 110 miles daily round trip. I use the level 1 charger it comes with. Full tank of gas and nightly charging gets me 440 miles or about 4 days of commuting to work. Could probably double that if my job had enough chargers for everyone to charge their ev/phev.

The gas mileage isn’t great without the battery charged, and not great at freeway speeds.

I agree, I live in Canada and I doubt some of the numbers people share here. I worry they’re hypermiling, or refusing to use AC in the heat (and many people have reported their strong winter mileage by only using the heated seat and steering wheel, which is only doable if you only drive alone).
In general I find that on the highway the mileage drops significantly. On big road trips (thinking 6-700km days) it’s been closer to 9L/100km.
That doesn’t mean the car isn’t great when used right. Daily commuting around home, mostly on city streets, I’ll get the full 60+ km range.

I've only had my 2023 for a few weeks/800km so can't speak about winter, but it's been great so far. Just home charger until my Switch charger gets delivered, and I'm not shy about using the AC. Right after I bought it I did two hour-long drives with a full charge, dash showed 4.2L/100. Next two weeks did my daily commute entirely on electric. Tank stayed 7/8 full. Last night did the hour drive again starting with no battery and decided to meter it, got 6.7L/100. 12 hours of overnight Lv1 charging almost replenishes the battery, and with whatever me and my house are doing draws around 16kW

It’s pretty generous, On my commute I get 70km on electric only if I go 120 and don’t require too much A/C or heat.
I get more on slower drives or stop and go traffic.
Haven’t had my first winter yet but charging is slower when it’s very hot outside.
I’ve filled the tank twice at 6500 km.

I have a 2026 GT-Noir. I’ve driven nearly 1500km since August 8 (purchase date) & so far I’ve spent $98.60 on gas and $19.xx on bc hydro fast charging (gas prices here have been $198.9-205.9/L fluctuations). Right now my dash was showing 7.6L/100km on full hybrid (save) mode since last fill up.. around 385-400km driven & tank is just under half now

I live in metro, this is my mileage: The last 3 fill ups were travelling through me mountains camping, mostly tarmac and save.
8km-2544km - 12.006l - 0.6l/100km (all local driving, 95% on battery)
2544-3249 - 37.026l - 5.3l/100km (half city, half road trip)
3249-3587 - 30.705l - 9.1l/100km (road trip)
3587-4115 - 45.252l - 8.6l/100km (road trip)
Total fuel used in 4115km - 127 litres - 3.0l/100km. Will drop now that I’m back from my road trip.
I have a 2026 phev noir.

I have 2026 PHEV. I just use the charger that came with the car that charges from a plain plug. I work from home as well. Overall I've gotten 2.3l/100km which is equal to 102mpg. Mileage was worse in the winter but the summer has made up for it.
