outlander review

The Mitsubishi Outlander is a jack-of-all-trades SUV that tries hard to please but doesn't quite excel at any one thing. With a 2.4-litre four-cylinder engine producing around 124 kW and the option of a plug-in hybrid variant, it offers decent performance and fuel economy for Australian roads. Inside, it sports a practical but bland cabin, with seating for seven that’s more cramped than comforting. Safety-wise, it’s got the basics covered with multiple airbags and driver assistance features, but don't expect cutting-edge tech. New models hover around $35,000 to $50,000 AUD depending on spec, while used examples can be found cheaper on Tradingpost or CarShowroom. For those prioritising versatility over flair, the Outlander might just do the trick.
