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.

2025 Toyota Prado Summary

This is one of the most important models to come from Toyota in ages. You guessed it. It's the new LandCruiser Prado.

Why is it important? The Prado is now in its fifth generation and aside from some minor facelifts, it hasn't seen a proper update since 2009!

Toyota loves the 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it' design ethos, and it usually works as their SUVs remain some of the most popular in Australia. But after 15 years, we deserved a new one and we're testing the base GX grade to find out if it's been worth the wait.
