2024 Mitsubishi Outlander Summary

At this point in history, hybrid vehicles are your best bet if you want to feel good about trying to save the world while actually enjoying daily driving duties and avoiding any (real or imagined) driving-range anxiety you may experience in a full EV. 

A hybrid vehicle – i.e. one with a traditional fuel source (petrol or diesel) and electric power – is a cheaper alternative to a full-blown EV and yields better fuel economy and less environmental impact than a standard ICE vehicle (powered only by petrol or diesel). 

And the Plug-in Hybrid EV (PHEV) version of the Outlander offers welcome fuel cost-savings over ICE vehicles and, in top-spec GSR guise, it has a premium look and feel and, on paper, packs plenty of standard features into a sub-$80,000 package.

But how does this seven-seater SUV hybrid handle daily-driving duties?

2025 GWM Tank 300 Summary

GWM’s Tank 300 struck a chord with Australian buyers when it launched in 2023. The rugged, boxy design, serious off-roading ability and unbeatable value for money - especially compared with similar models like the Jeep Wrangler - won it a number of new fans.

But something was missing. With an uninspiring petrol engine and a patchy hybrid powertrain the only options, the Tank 300 was sorely missing a diesel.

GWM itself says about 75 per cent of models in the off-road-focused large and upper-large SUV segments are made up of diesel-powered SUVs, so it was missing out on a chunk of sales.

Thanks to some serious nudging from GWM Australia and New Zealand, the Chinese parent company saw the potential and have added a diesel engine to the mix. This is the same diesel unit found in the GWM Cannon and Cannon Alpha utes.

Is the diesel now the pick of the Tank 300 range? Or should you look at another oil-burning 4x4?
