Great but!

If your usage is right it can be a great car but it requires effort. If you do not have the right usage buy a different car!
Short trips can be all electric - very cheap , about 2p / mile (Economy 7 charge) Realistic 20 mile range on pure electric.
Medium trips, if you are careful it can still do really well - I often see well over 200 mpg on trips of around 40 miles. (But if you are not driving it to maximise economy it will be nothing like this)
Gentle driving on long trips, it is a big, heavy petrol car and does OK - low to mid 40s mpg. A diesel would do better.
Long trips, at high speed - it is thirsty - low 30s without crushing speed limits - even worse if you ignore the speed limits! Diesel does a lot better!
It fires up the petrol to run the heater unless you pre-heat This can clobber fuel consumption in cold weather.
I get best fuel consumption driving in no regen mode mostly, except going down hill and use save mode on the high speed sections saving the battery for lower speed travel. Gentle breaking uses regen and so with careful use brake pad wear is very low
It tows well, but you want to have battery charge available for any hills. Fuel consumption towing is not great!
The infamous bonging can be turned down but is irritating and the sat nav is poor and expensive to update. I use a TomTom!
Drives rather like a barge, You can hustle it - it has lots of grip, but it encourages Grandad driving! Very comfortable, but suspension is not cosseting, remarkably quiet. Software interfaces are awful to use and spoil the car. Mobile phone app is awful and will not run on many more modern phones. Mitsubishi need a competent User Interface Engineer! (And also to listen to their customers)
