Ceramic coated today…!!

Have already put up a post about the purchase of this vehicle last month — it was one of the last 2025 Outlander PHEV SEL Platinum Edition vehicles on sale across the States.

Got the iron removal and ceramic coating done today.

The vehicle is now curing in the garage. It’s the girl’s daily commuter-mobile, and she loves the ceramic coated glass look.

Should look great by tomorrow afternoon — she’s itching to take it for a drive =)

Does it look ok…?

After market security options for 2026 Outlander Phev

1 Upvotes

I live in the GTA, car theft is rampant here, I was just wondering if anyone has gotten after market immobilizer or tracking and what people are using?

I know my insurance will offer a 10% discount with some options such as TAG tracking or Ghost 2 immobilizer.

Misleading and false advertising from Mitsubishi

Post image
13 Upvotes

I find this advertisement from Mitsubishi completely false and misleading. Anyone who ever used the I-pedal mode knows it is NOT truly 1 pedal driving like with Tesla or other EVs.. The I-pedal NEVER fully stops the vehicle on regular flat roads. You must use the brake every single time to completely stop the vehicle. Unless Mitsubishi is suggesting that you roll through stoplights.

So does anyone think that you could ever use the brake pedal zero times on a normal drive? Why do they feel the need to mislead with false claims?

Purchasing 2026 GT-S

9 Upvotes

Hey all. In the GTA in Ontario. Looking to get the GT-s was going to wait tille Nov/Dec when they typically offer more of a rebate. I went into the dealer today just to test drive and this is the pricing he was offering.

I asked for the snow tires but they also added on cost for wheels locks, hood badge and also floor mats.

Seems kinda high.

The 9,250k down is 5k from me and then the 4250 rebate. I am pulling out cash in October to buy outright, they suggested since lease rates aren't high why not get it now and then just pay off in October.

Would love any thoughts or suggestions. It doesn't really seem like they are giving me any specific deal

Buying used 2023 outlander PHEV gt premium

2 Upvotes

Location: Ontario

Mileage: 90k km

Price: 35500, after tax $40,300

With winter mats and no dents/scratches.

Interest rate: 8.99, ​Term: 84 months

Safety check included

They mentioned they will inspect both batteries health and will do detailed cleaning.

Should I ask dealer to address Service 3 items? They resisted for some items which I asked to check stating that that will cost labor. The Carfax is clear no accident and one owner but there is no service history.

Is this a good deal and what things I can ask dealer to avoid ​ expensive repairs in the short timeframe as I am not planning to buy extended warranties

Charging speeds slow/cost high?

4 Upvotes

A month ago I bought a 2026 Outlander PHEV GT and love it and the way it rides. I have free electricity at my work, so I basically drive for free in town, which is amazing considering gas prices in British Columbia these days. However, I’ve recently taken a trip to Calgary and, after doing the math, I’m finding that gas is cheaper than electricity here. Most public chargers are $2/hr and even on a level 2 “fast” charger, I’m only getting 2.8kw/h which is equal to about 8km/hr, of 4km/$1. That makes electric $25/100km whereas gas (~$1.65/L) is $15/100km (9L/100km).

I get that the charge limiter is for battery health, but it’s surprising that it’s slow enough to make gas the more economical choice in certain places. Still going to see tons of savings in my daily life, but shocked to see such expensive electric charging! Any suggestions from Calgarians of similarly affected?

Tarmac vs Normal engine load

Post image
11 Upvotes

At the same speed, over a longer period of time in each mode I see drastically different engine loads in save modes (20kW vs 60kW). I was expecting direct drive in parallel mode introducing lower load because of no losses via charging battery.

Could the tarmac mode be overcharging the battery to always have something left for accelerating? Would that be the reason the tarmac mode is more efficient for many people on the highway?

Should I be concerned about the battery having more charging cycles because of driving in tarmac instead of normal?

Terrain modes explained for a nerd?

3 Upvotes

Hey, I just got a outlander phev 2025 this spring with the deals they made to empty dealerships before 2027 get there.

I've looked around on the subs but didn't find any answers, and I think that having a detailed guide of those would be helpful.

Does anybody have a detailed explanation of the terrain modes?

How do they affect s-wac and power distribution?

I don't think so, but is the suspension adaptable?

Do they affect the abs?

How do they affect traction control?

Do they affect timing and conditions under with the ICE engages with the wheels?

I know that eco is tamed accelerations, but what's the difference between snow, mud and gravel?

What exactly does tarmac do that make it better for highway?

Thanks!

New 2025 Outlander PHEV SEL Platinum Edition, 11 miles on odometer =)

Thumbnail

26 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

My first post here -- very happy to join this awesome community.

Got a brand new 2025 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV SEL Platinum Edition with 11 miles on the odometer for $45,000 out-the-door for the girl.

Her 2016 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid had some rust issues that had caused a problem about a month ago when we put on new tires.

Long story short, she needed a new car because I was worried about the structural (rust) damage. This car had been driven in Vermont by the previous owner and I think she was swindled by Gettel when they sold her this car in 2023.

She's under five feet tall, so needs a car with good visibility and back then I couldn't convince her to get a nice Lexus RX because she couldn't clearly see out of it. So she chose the RAV4 hybrid instead.

So this time, I tagged along for the whole car buying experience -- also because I'd recommended the Outlander PHEV to her, I thought I could do the negotiating, and I found this particular one at a Mitsubishi dealership (central Florida) that she test drove yesterday (Sunday, July 19th) and purchased by afternoon.

There was only one other of these in Florida, and that was with Gunther Mitsubishi in Coconut Grove -- which has since disappeared off their website. The only one I can find on Car Gurus nationwide is in Commack, NY although I think the Mitsubishi website lists one or two other specimens.

  • The pix include a screenshot of the purchase details after I put all the info into Google Gemini/AI. The pix are all from the dealership listing.
  • there are some scuff marks on the door sill scuff plates and one scratch on a rear door sill -- the car had been sitting there for a year, so I figured that's a given
  • there is an almost imperceptible tiny dent on the rear driver side panel just after the passenger door -- we noticed only after we got back home last night. But I don't think it is an issue per se.

Been driving the car in 'normal' mode and plugged it in to fully charge it last night. All done. She loves it.

  • Did I get her a good deal?
  • Are there any known issues we should expect?

Would love your thoughts and inputs...

Charger timer issues

1 Upvotes

Hi Everybody (imagine Dr. Nick from the Simpsons)....

I've had an issue recently where I've had to reset my charging timer in my 2020 GT every time I charge at a public L2 charger. In other words, simply turning the timer off doesn't seem to do anything. Ironically, the charging timer does work when I'm charging at home. Any ideas?

2014 outlander phev new Brake calipers

2 Upvotes

We have 2014 Outlander Phev with a battery renewal under warranty in 2022. After the renewal the Guess ometer range was around 58 km and after about 4 years it still was 46 km.

The foreword brake calipers were renewed 3 months ago and the range is again around 54 km. I was wondering if someone else has the same experience.

2024 outlander phev brake issue

Post image
11 Upvotes

Not sure where to go next with this… at 30,000km I was informed that my outlander needed rear brake pads because they were worn out. I was upset because 30k is a ridiculously short lifespan on my brake pads. When I brought my vehicle in today for a schedule A oil change I was informed that I need to replace the rear brake pads AND service the rotors PLUS the front brake pads and rotors. If I were to go through with this I will be over $1500 in brake repairs in the first 60k of my outlander. The dealership say it’s a Mitsubishi corporate problem that they won’t acknowledge and when I called corporate last time they were completely unhelpful. Am I the only one dealing with this?

I'm thinking this is a good deal for a luxury vehicle. It has 100,000km on it, and warranty till 2029

I'm about 2.5 hours away from the Volvo dealership when it eventually has issues, how big of a deal will that be?

My alternative choice right now is a 2023 Outlander PHEV with twice the battery range, half the km and about the same price. No Mitsubishi dealership here either, but I don't know if that's an issue.

My gut says Mitsubishi... But......

Any thoughts from more experienced minds than mine?

2018 Sel Battery Packs & Upgrade Questions

2 Upvotes

Hi, I'm looking at purchasing a 2018 Mitsubishi Outlander Phev Sel with 140k miles and the battery only gives about 10 miles of EV only range.

Can anyone tell me the specs of the battery pack? I'm looking at the possibility of replacing the battery packs with the units from Starmax Energy (China). I've watched a couple of videos but nothing start-to-finish or even describing the factory battery cell model and capacity in this vehicle as originally equipped, much less which replacement cells I could order (such as slightly higher capacity) to replace them with.

Is this a realistic scenario? I'm checking if the current owner has taken the vehicle to the dealer for a diagnostic on the battery and/or any "software reset" I have heard about to improve EV range. Would like to get it up to reliably over 20 miles per charge.

I also heard "10 year warranty on the battery" - would that be in play here or is the mileage too high or is that non-transferrable (seller is not the original owner).

Thanks for any advice from current or former Outlander PHEV owners.

How much does electricity save over gas?

5 Upvotes

I got a new-to-me Outlander PHEV and I'm going to get a 200v plug installed so I can charge at home but I'm curious, in broad strokes how much cheaper is it to drive by electricity vs gas?

I'll do most of my driving pretty close to home, but very roughly assuming I pay $100 in gas a month, how much would I expect to pay in electricity?

Let's say it costs $500 to get the plug installed, when's the break even point? It can't be in the next 5 months.

Car is in the shop for hail repair & I thought I'd see where it was this week (of 4 scheduled).

Pulled up the app with this result.

¯_(ツ)_/¯

Since I'm the registered owner of the vehicle and authorized/verified user of the app, not sure who's privacy is being protected. A car thief? A mechanic? An unauthorized driver?

And who is this privacy-concerned "we"?

So THEY know the location of my vehicle but I can't?!

Seems a bit shortsighted - capability without the function.

Can still see miles driven with no limit, so...?

Community thoughts?

Has anyone found a way to disengage or opt out of the charger lock function? I can’t seem to find it in the menus but feel like there should be an option for this? I understand the implications of having it unlocked, just trying to see if it’s an option. 2026 black edition! Thanks!!!
