Detailed analysis of the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV Kaiteki 4WD · 203 CV (2014-2016)
General description
The 2015 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV Kaiteki is a plug-in hybrid SUV that marked a before and after in its segment. With a combination of a gasoline engine and two electric motors, it offered a unique value proposition for those seeking efficiency and versatility. Its robust design and its ability to drive in all-electric mode made it an attractive option for families and urban drivers.
Driving experience
Behind the wheel, the Outlander PHEV Kaiteki conveys a feeling of smoothness and comfort. The transition between electric and combustion mode is almost imperceptible, contributing to a relaxed driving experience. Its suspension absorbs road imperfections well, and the steering, while not the most communicative, fulfills its function. The 0 to 100 km/h acceleration in 11 seconds is not blistering, but it is sufficient for daily use, and its top speed of 170 km/h allows for long journeys with confidence. The AWD all-wheel drive provides extra safety and capability in various conditions.
Design and aesthetics
The design of the 2015 Outlander PHEV Kaiteki is functional and robust, with lines that denote its SUV character. Its dimensions of 4655 mm long, 1810 mm wide, and 1680 mm high give it an imposing presence on the road. The 18-inch wheels and 225/55 R18 tires complement its aesthetic. The interior, although not luxurious, is well-resolved and offers good space for five occupants and a 498-liter trunk, ideal for family needs.
Technology and features
Technology is the heart of this Outlander. Its plug-in hybrid system combines a 1998 cc and 82 hp gasoline engine with two electric motors, offering a combined output of 203 hp. The 12 kWh battery (8.4 kWh usable) allows for an electric range of 52 km according to the NEDC cycle, earning it the '0 emissions' label. Full charging with alternating current takes about 5 hours. It features AWD all-wheel drive and a single-ratio automatic transmission, simplifying driving. Ventilated front disc brakes and rear discs ensure good stopping power.
Competition
At the time, the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV Kaiteki competed with other similar-sized hybrid and diesel SUVs. Its rivals included models such as the Toyota RAV4 Hybrid, the Honda CR-V, or even diesel versions of European SUVs. Its main competitive advantage was its plug-in hybrid status, which allowed it to offer significant electric range and an approved consumption of 1.9 l/100km, something unattainable for its non-plug-in competitors.
Conclusion
The 2015 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV Kaiteki was a pioneer in the plug-in hybrid SUV segment. It offered a balanced combination of space, comfort, efficiency, and all-wheel-drive capability. Its advanced technology and '0 emissions' label made it a very interesting option for those looking to reduce their environmental impact and enjoy the benefits of electric mobility in everyday life, without sacrificing the versatility of a family SUV. Despite not being the most powerful or luxurious, its value proposition was solid and very attractive.
