2024 Mitsubishi Outlander Summary

The Mitsubishi Outlander was launched more than two decades ago and through four generations has proven to be a solid performer in Australia’s highly competitive SUV market.

The latest generation arrived in 2021, which includes petrol-only and petrol plug-in hybrid models, competes in the ‘Medium SUV under $60K’ segment where more than 20 rivals fight for buyers.

Toyota’s RAV4 is the current sales leader, but the Outlander is within striking distance and closely hounded by quality rivals including the Nissan X-Trail, Mazda CX-5 and Hyundai Tucson.

To be such a strong seller in such a competitive market means the Outlander must be ticking many boxes with buyers and Mitsubishi wants them to tick even more, with convenience and safety updates for the 2024 model year. We recently tested one of the top-shelf models to see why the Outlander is such a popular choice.

2024 Skoda Karoq Summary

Typically appealing to those seeking quality engineering and tech without feeling the need to make a boastful badge statement, Skoda is a low-key, ultra-confident brand.

On sale here since 2018, the Skoda Karoq is a comparatively small fish in one of the most hotly contested segments in the Australian new-car market, namely medium SUVs, the leading trio consisting of the Toyota RAV4, Nissan X-Trail and Mitsubishi Outlander.

To increase its appeal against these and other high-profile contenders Skoda Australia has introduced a new entry-level Karoq designed to hit the Goldilocks zone between attractive standard specification and sharp pricing. CarsGuide was invited to its local launch.
