2026 Mitsubishi Outlander Summary

In the realm of family friendly mid-size SUVs, few names have the same reputation as Mitsubishi’s Outlander.

While this new one looks almost identical to the previous version, it’s hiding some serious, Australian-flavoured changes under the skin.

But in a segment now full of not only upgraded mainstream rivals, but also new cut-price alternatives from China, does such a modest upgrade to the Outlander do enough to deserve your consideration in such a crowded market?

We went to its Australian launch to find out.

2024 Land Rover Discovery Sport Summary

The Land Rover Discovery Sport is the sort of Land Rover you consider if you're not that serious about going off-road but still want something capable, but you don't want a car as large as it's Range Rover cousins.

Bonus points, the P300e mid-spec model I'm testing this week is a plug-in hybrid. So, you get the best of all worlds - capability, decent size and economy.

The new powertrain pits it against the Lexus NX450+, Volvo XC60, Audi Q5 and even the BMW X3 but while the P300e is great on paper, how does it stack-up in real life?
