2020 Mitsubishi Outlander Reviews

It might be getting a little long in the tooth, but the Mitsubishi Outlander remains one of the cheapest ways into a proper seven-seat SUV in Australia. So is it ageing like a fine wine? Or a glass of milk? Only one way to find out...

The Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV is a plug-in hybrid SUV that promises the best of both worlds; an electric motor for fuel-free motoring, and a petrol engine for when you've drained the batteries. But does it live up to that promise?

You've probably seen a lot of Outlanders around, but what is it that draws consumers? We drove one for a week to find out.

The Mitsubishi Outlander is generally used as a five seat, mid-size SUV. That is, unless you get the Exceed model, which is the top-of-the-range and has two spare seats in the boot, propelling it into that small category of cars just that bit more practical than their five seat counterparts. It means it’s in competition with cars like seven-seat versions of the Honda CR-V and Nissan X-Trail, and the Holden Acadia, too.The Outlander Exceed costs $46,790 (about $50,000 on the road) and for 2020 the AWD version comes with a few new driving modes. Here’s how it did for this week’s family review.
