Mitsubishi Sigma Reviews

Mitsubishi Australia has confirmed the plug-in hybrid Outlander will follow its petrol-only sibling with the update revealed earlier this year.The 2026 Mitsubishi Outlander plug-in hybrid (PHEV) will arrive in the first quarter of 2026 and will gain improved tech, features and an updated look.While pricing and some more specifications are yet to be confirmed for the plug-in family SUV, Mitsubishi has confirmed the key changes and the model line-up outline.Headlining changes is a larger battery, now 22.78kWh up from 20.0kWh. Claimed electric range has only improved by 2km on paper to 86km up from 84km before.The good news is its claimed EV range is now under WLTP testing, which returns more accurate results than lenient NEDC testing. In reality the new 86km range is more likely to be achieved.It retains its 2.4-litre four-cylinder petrol engine, joined by an electric motor at each axle, though Mitsubishi hasn’t confirmed yet if there are any changes to the total 185kW/450Nm output for the Outlander PHEV.Its ride and handling had been updated with the petrol variant, carrying over to the PHEV along with changes to reduce the effects of NVH (noise, vibration and harshness) such as a new new steel bonnet, front fenders, and a ‘Dynamic Sound Yamaha Premium’ audio system from the entry-grade ES.While more details are yet to come, Mitsubishi says the ES will be joined by the Aspire, Exceed and Exceed Tourer variants. There’s no word yet on the GSR, which is currently available.The ES won’t be available with seven seats, but will have a large 12.3-inch multimedia touchscreen, LED interior lighting, surround-view parking cameras, a driver monitoring system, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a host of safety kit.The Aspire can be had with seven seats, plus gains synthetic leather, heated seats and a wireless phone charger. The Exceed gains proper leather upholstery and seat ventilation, whole the Exceed Tourer adds a 12-speaker Yamaha sound system, massage seats, and improved ‘Brick Brown’ leather.

Australian new car market continues to shift in October 2024.

Mitsubishi has quietly increased the price of its Outlander SUV and Triton ute without updating the models, but it’s all normal business according to the brand.CarsGuide spotted the small price increase recently applied to Mitsubishi’s two most popular models.The Outlander’s price has increased by $750 across all grades apart from the entry-level ES - which retains its $39,990 list price.Prices for the Triton’s 4x2 line-up have gone up by $250 for the GLX single-cab which now lists for $34,740 and $400 for the GLX dual-cab at $44,090. Meanwhile, the 4x4 Triton range has seen increases of between $250 to $750 for all grades apart from the top-of-the-range GSR dual-cab pick-up which is now $1450 pricier and lists for $64,590. Despite the increase in price neither the Outlander nor Triton come with any change of specification. Mitsubishi told CarsGuide the price increase was part of business.“The changes were part of the ongoing price assessment, taking into account market fluctuations, exchange rates and other factors,” a Mitsubishi spokesperson said.While the Outlander’s latest price increase may not correspond to any increase in value, it should be noted the SUV underwent a significant update in April and July this year. The upgrades brought new styling inside and out, also adding extra safety tech which ensured it maintained its maximum five-star ANCAP rating when it was assessed in September.Safety upgrades to the Triton also meant the ute was able to retain its five star ANCAP rating when it was tested in May this year.The Triton and Outlander are by far the best-selling models for Mitsubishi in Australia. Total 2024 sales of both came to 45,690 units, accounting for more than half the sales of all the brand’s models.

Modern 4x4s are packed with clever tech - but at what cost?

Topping the Mitsubishi ASX range for now is the Exceed, which costs $46,490 before on-road costs.

The midway point of the Mitsubishi ASX line-up is the Aspire, and it represents the best value of the lot.

The LS is the entry point of the second-generation Mitsubishi ASX line-up. It kicks off at $37,740 before on-road costs, which is more than $10,000 more than the previous entry grade. But grade for grade it’s about $7K dearer.
