Detailed analysis of the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV Kaiteki 4WD · 203 CV (2016-2018)
General description
The 2016 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV Kaiteki 4WD presents itself as a bold and pioneering proposition in the plug-in hybrid SUV segment. With a robust aesthetic and a promise of efficiency, this vehicle seeks to win over those who crave the versatility of an SUV without sacrificing ecological awareness. Its price of €38,725 positions it as an attractive option for those seeking advanced technology and an environmental '0 emissions' badge.
Driving experience
Behind the wheel of the Outlander PHEV, the experience is surprisingly smooth and quiet, especially in electric mode. The transition between the gasoline engine and the electric motors is almost imperceptible, contributing to a sense of comfort and refinement. The 0 to 100 km/h acceleration in 11 seconds is not blistering, but sufficient for daily use, and the top speed of 170 km/h allows for confident highway travel. The 4WD all-wheel drive inspires confidence in various conditions, although its weight of 1920 kg is noticeable in more demanding curves, where the front McPherson suspension and the rear deformable parallelogram work to maintain composure. The electric steering, while not the most communicative, performs its function with precision.
Design and aesthetics
The design of the 2016 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV maintains the robust and functional line that characterizes the brand. Its 4695 mm length, 1800 mm width, and 1710 mm height give it an imposing presence on the road. The 18-inch wheels with 225/55 R18 tires complement its SUV aesthetic. The interior, while not dazzling in luxury, is practical and spacious, with 5 seats and a 498-liter trunk that offers good cargo capacity for family adventures or daily luggage. The central location of the battery does not significantly compromise interior space, which is a plus.
Technology and features
The true gem of the Outlander PHEV lies in its advanced plug-in hybrid technology. It combines a 1998 cc, 82 hp gasoline engine with two electric motors that, together, offer a total output of 203 hp. The 12 kWh battery (8.4 kWh usable) provides an NEDC electric range of 54 km, allowing for many daily emission-free journeys. The approved combined consumption is only 1.7 l/100km, an impressive figure for an SUV of its size. The single-ratio automatic transmission simplifies driving, and the 4WD all-wheel drive ensures optimal grip. Full charging with alternating current takes about 5 hours, facilitating home recharging.
Competition
In the competitive plug-in hybrid SUV segment, the 2016 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV faced rivals such as the Toyota RAV4 Hybrid (though not plug-in at the time), the Volvo XC60 T8 Twin Engine, or the Audi Q5 e-tron, although the latter two were usually positioned in a higher price range. Its main advantage lay in being one of the pioneers in offering a PHEV solution in an SUV format at a more accessible price, with the advantage of all-wheel drive and the '0 emissions' label.
Conclusion
The 2016 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV Kaiteki 4WD is a vehicle that, despite not being the most dynamic or luxurious in its category, stands out for its technological proposal and efficiency. It is an ideal option for families looking for a spacious, versatile SUV with a real commitment to sustainability, capable of offering a quiet and economical driving experience day-to-day, without sacrificing the ability to tackle long journeys or more complicated terrains. Its '0 emissions' label is a great incentive in a market increasingly aware of the environment.
