This is Australia’s most affordable plug-in hybrid vehicle. It’s the Chery Tiggo 7 ‘Super Hybrid’ and you can have one for just $39,990 drive-away at the time we put this review together.

The Exceed sits second from the top of the Outlander range and is available only as a five-seater in all-wheel drive.It is priced from $55,140 before on-roads and features all of the equipment from the lower grade Aspire, plus 'high-grade leather-appointed' seats and interior trim, heating, ventilation and power adjust for the front two positions, memory options for the driver's seat, a digital rear-vision mirror, a hands-free power tailgate, an upgrade to tri-zone climate adding a third climate zone for the second row, aluminium pedals, a panoramic opening sunroof, built-in sunshades for the rear windows, and a full-size alloy spare.It scores the full safety suite consisting of the standard auto emergency braking (front and rear), lane keep assist with departure warning, blind spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, driver attention alert, traffic sign recognition, adaptive cruise control with traffic jam assist, and adaptive high beams.All combustion Outlander grades are powered by the same 2.5-litre four-cylinder petrol engine (135kW/244Nm) mated to a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT). Importantly for the 2025 update, all Outlander grades now score an Australian-developed ride and handling tune.Fuel consumption is rated at 8.1L/100km. All combustion Outlanders can use 91RON petrol.Boot capacity is 485 litres in all five-seat combustion-powered Outlanders, and the spare resides under the floor.

The angry-looking Cupra Tavascan is more like a cream puff in the daily commute.

Australia's seven-seat SUV market is crowded, but can the new Peugeot 5008 GT Premium Hybrid stand out with its hybrid powertrain and premium features?

The Aspire is the third variant in the Mitsubishi Outlander range, and serves as the top-spec seven-seat version, as the halo Exceed grade is only available in five-seat form.

Sharp new pricing pitches the KGM SsangYong Torres Ultimate into battle with the cheaper Chinese newcomers, rather than its Korean siblings in Hyundai and Kia, which feels like a much fairer fight. Perfect timing, then, for Chesto to spend his final month with his Torres, which has mysteriously changed colour...

The LS is the mid-grade Outlander, and the most affordable version available with seven seats.

The Audi S5 Sedan and S5 Avant join the new Audi A5 from launch as the more performance-focused variants in the line-up, coming in at $114,900 and $117,900 respectively.

The Outlander ES is the entry point to the mid-size SUV's range.

Subaru Australia wanted to wait until the Forester’s hybrid variant was available before launching the new model locally, which means Subaru is introducing a car that could properly rival the Toyota RAV4. Has the cult car brand finally delivered a vehicle that feels like it belongs in the 2020s?
