Mitsubishi Outlander
Consistently one of the top-selling mid-size SUVs; the PHEV is the segment's established plug-in.
The sharp-value family pick with a genuine PHEV option: sensible pricing, a usable occasional third row, and a long conditional warranty. Cross-shopped against RAV4 on economy and against Chinese newcomers on price.
Wait note: Generally available; PHEV grades vary. Our sourcing team sees live dealer allocations — the quoted factory wait is not always the real wait.

The petrol drivetrain is adequate rather than impressive, the third row is kids-only, and the brand's 10-year warranty headline requires servicing inside the Mitsubishi network to hold.
Every decision page names one. If the downside matters for how you'll use the car, tell us — recommending a different car, or keeping your current one, costs us a fee and earns your trust. We'll take that trade.
What it costs to run
Owner-reported servicing, insurance and real-world consumption unlock here as verified owners contribute — official figures hold the line until then.
Verified reviews
Every review is badge-labelled with how it was verified. We never gate, cherry-pick or pay for sentiment — see the review policy.
Reviews here come only from people who actually drove or bought one through our network, so they start at zero and grow honestly. Book a Outlander test drive and we'll invite your structured impressions right after the drive — good or bad, published either way.
Deciding on a Outlander?
Is the Outlander PHEV worth it over the petrol?
If you can charge at home and most days are under ~60 km, the PHEV can run largely on electricity and the FBT treatment changed in April 2025 — get a novated quote both ways before deciding; the after-tax answer surprises people.
How does the 10-year warranty actually work?
It is 5 years unconditional, extending to 10 years/200,000 km only if you service within the Mitsubishi network on schedule. Price that servicing into your comparison.
Drive it before you decide
86% of Australian buyers say they need a test drive before purchase. We arrange the right drive — and if you go ahead, we source, negotiate and handle finance with a disclosed fee.
