Outlander PHEV

[JumboBeef]

Don't we have a thread for this motor yet?

I'm considering one. Opinions please?

I can get a GX4hs through work for £368/month nil deposit 15,000 miles/pa everything included bar fuel/volts.

Thanks.

Thanks for the replies. Food for thought. I'm hopefully taking one for a test drive on Wednesday.

[JumboBeef]

Thanks.

Test drove one today. Going to get one.

I liked the Ruby Black but was told I'd have to wait until the New Year. Black I can have now (ish).

I'm looking at the GX4hs.

well done for finding something you like

Thanks Jason. The 4x4 bit suits me better living on Dartmoor.

Full time with a "difflock" type button.

Is the 17MY out next month then?

Yes it is

Do you have any info or links please? I'd heard the rumours but can't find anything definitive. I asked the dealer and he denied it.

Any idea what changes there are for the new model? Better battery range.....?

[JumboBeef]

Interesting thanks.

The only new feature which I like is the EV only mode.

All these "safety" features I feel actually make worse drivers. I don't need blind spot function because I use my eyes.

I had a friend who worked at a body shop and he told me when reversing sensors first came out, they saw an increase in low speed reversing damage. People were trusting the technology rather than looking (for example hitting posts which were between the sensors).

My TVR doesn't even have ABS let alone airbags etc, it makes you feel more vulnerable and so more careful.

I've decided to wait for the 17MY which is out in a couple of months.

Around 40mpg isn't bad at all for a large 4x4. Thanks.

I'm waiting for the release date on 2017 model then I'll get one of those. Anyone know when that might be?
