When driving with bub on board safety is always on your mind. The Outlander comes with a Five star ANCAP safety rating along with a high child protection rating.

But the driver monitor system is annoying. Even when you look at the central screen it bings at you. Remembering to turn it off every time is frustrating.

Having a clear reverse camera,  heads up display, and digital rear view mirror all add to the feeling of safety.

Auto headlights and wipers also means there are less things to worry about.

Both Outlanders came with a 2.5 litre, 4 cylinder petrol motor. Driving all four wheels through an all-wheel drive system and an 8 step CVT.

It’s not a powerhouse engine but ample for everyday driving. It can also be a little thirsty.

Mitsubishi has a plug in hybrid versions as well.

But honestly, I would prefer a normal hybrid for better economy.

Overall, the Outlander Exceed has a lot going for it. Style, interior space, safety features and a full 10 year warranty for peace of mind.

But the biggest appeal is the outstanding value for money.

The Mitsubishi Outlander definitely gets the Mum and Bub tick of approval.

The post Mitsubishi Outlander Exceed Baby duties week two. appeared first on Motoring Minute.

My first impressions of the Outlander is I actually like the design. It’s a little boxy but manages to hide its size quite well.

Step inside and you immediately are impressed with the space. Theres lots of it.

In both versions the front seats are exceptionally comfortable. Quilted leather along with heating and ventilation keeps you feeling relaxed. For those cold winter mornings, the steering wheel is heated as well.

Rear seat leg room is generous, and the seats are better designed for two people. Both outer seats have isofix and top tether points.

Access is not bad, but the wheel arches do get in the way a touch.

But placing bub in the  baby seat is easy and the wide opening doors make that simple. There is a pull up sunshade for the rear windows to keep bub comfortable.

Being a five seat version, boot space is practical and the load height means that you aren’t struggling to place gear back there.

I almost forgot to mention the hands free tailgate opening. Just kick under the sensor if you have your hands full and the boot opens.

The opening height can be adjusted for low roof garages as well.

I managed to squeeze a drive in for some thoughts.

I’ve always been fan of the Outlander. It manages to strike a good balance between interior space, safety and comfort and price.

Both the models I drove come with a 2.5 litre, 4 cylinder petrol motor. This provides 135kW of power and 244Nm of torque. Driving all four wheels through an On Demand 4WD system and an 8 step CVT.

It’s definitely no powerhouse but has adequate performance for its purpose.

The latest styling also appeals to many people. It has the advantages of SUV practicality without the bulk that some have.

Inside both these top spec  models come well equipped.

The Outlander Exceed comes with

• heated and ventilated front seats,
• heated exterior mirrors that dip in reverse, and
• aluminium pedals and more.

The Exceed Tourer has upgraded Semi-aniline Leather seat Trim – quilted brown and a 12 Speaker Dynamic Sound System.

Both have comprehensive safety features as well as wireless smart phone connectivity.

One thing I appreciate is the large boot space being a five seat version and a full size alloy spare wheel for both.

Pricing for the Outlander Exceed is from $55,890 and the Exceed Tourer from $58,740, both plus the usual costs and that’s excellent value.

Based on the top model GSR the Triton Raider adds both functional and cosmetic appeal.

This is achieved by implementing a unique front and rear suspension damper package.

With the front damper utilising an internal rebound spring to maximise suspension control, was developed for Raider. A front spring and bump stop was also deployed.

There is also an upgraded frontal bash plate that is laser cut with Raider wording.

Premcar engineering team selected the Bridgestone AT002 all-terrain tyres, matched to a heavier-duty ROH ‘Assault’ 18-inch alloy wheel. These wheels are finished in a distinctive Brushed Bronze with specific ‘Raider’ hub caps.

Overall front clearance has increased by 25 mm from the combination suspension and wheel and tyres. The rear sees a 15mm lift from the wheels and tyres.

Overall wheel track has also widened by 20mm front and back.

The YAMAHA Performance Damper system which debuted in the 26MY Triton GSR is retained. This horizontally-mounted damper connects to the chassis to further enhance NVH performance.

There are some other cosmetic exterior additions to enhance the appeal.

Inside, the Triton Raider enjoys all the key equipment found in the top-spec GSR.

The black leather seats feature orange stitching, with the addition of Raider branded front headrests and a further Raider badge fitted to the centre console.

Available by mid-June in dealer showrooms, the Triton Raider will be priced from $74,990 plus the usual costs.

The post Mitsubishi Triton Raider 4WD Ute pricing announced. appeared first on Motoring Minute.

The entry level work Ute is the GLX. Its available in single, club cab and dual cab versions, as well as tray back and pickup models. I drove the dual cab chassis pickup 4WD version recently.

The GLX is a workhorse yet well equipped with practical features.

I am a fan of the new front grill design and interior fit out. Recent models have also reduced some of the intrusive safety features allowing for simpler selection to turn them off.

Having wireless smart phone connectivity is handy as is the long list of standard safety features. Rubber floor mats and hard wearing fabric seats are appropriate.

Powered by a 2.4L bi-turbo diesel engine that provides 150 kW of power and 470Nm of torque from 1500 rpm.

This drives through a six speed AT and Mitsubishi’s simple yet effective Easy Select 4WD system.

Towing is rated at 3500kg and payload for the dual cab tray back is a handy 1200kg. To manage this the Triton GLX retains the ‘heavy-duty’ 4-leaf rear suspension arrangement.

With this suspension, the Triton GLX can be a touch rough riding when empty but handles a heavy load with ease. It’s ideal for towing, heavy duty work and off road recreation.

Pricing for the GLX models ranges from $37,090 through to $51,640 plus the usual costs.

The post Mitsubishi Triton GLX 4WD Dual Cab Ute driven for 2026. appeared first on Motoring Minute.

Im a bit of a fan of the Triton styling. It seems to blend the smooth and masculine trends just right.

My Ute came with a stylish front bull bar that wrapped around the lights as well as a tow bar. Ready for work and recreation.

Inside the GLX comes with hard wearing cloth trim, nine inch central touch screen and wireless smart phone connectivity. It also came with an old school key start and  vinyl floor covering with rubber mats. Very practical.

One feature I appreciated was the additional electronic lumbar support, perfect for my aging back.

Powering the Triton is a 2.4L bi-turbo diesel engine. This provides 150 kW of power and 470 Nm of torque. Peak torque comes in around 1500 rpm, which allows for controlled low speed work and easy cruising.

This drives through a six speed AT and easy select 4WD system. The GLX also comes with a rear diff lock.

This combination is simple, robust, and reliable.

Being a work Ute, it has heavy duty rear leaf springs, which can be a touch bouncy unladen. Payload is a bit over 1000kg.

Currently Mitsubishi is pricing the Triton GLX dual cab Pickup from $46,490 drive away and that’s excellent value.

The post Mitsubishi Triton GLX Pickup 4WD Ute driven for 2025. appeared first on Motoring Minute.

This is a real workhorse of the range. Yet adds some comfort features. There are four models,  the GLX, GLX Plus, GLS and GSR.

Most models come with fabric seats, seats for five and a large work tray. The GSR comes with leather interior and a host of additional comfort bling.

On the GLS model I drove I appreciated the

• wireless charging tray for my phone,
• additional electronic lumbar support
• LED headlights and fog lights
• and the rear diff lock. Not that I needed it this time.

It’s a good looking Ute, especially with the contrast between the deep Impulse Blue body colour and dark grey 18 inch alloys, silver highlights, and black grill.

I find the Triton very easy to live with. With a 2.4 l bi turbo diesel engine it provides 150 kW of power and 470 Nm of torque. Interestingly the peak torque comes in around 1500 rpm and combined with a 6 speed AT it feels like you always have enough performance.

Some Utes, even though the headline figures read better, you have to work the engine. The Triton seems to just flow smoothly.

The Mitsubishi Triton strokes a good balance between work horse, off road performance and on road ride and handling.

The post Mitsubishi Triton Tray back Dual Cab 4WD Ute. appeared first on Motoring Minute.

The workhorse 4WD Utes come in a wide range. With Single Cab, Club Cab, and Double Cab chassis styles as well as a double cab pickup. These are the GLX, GLX  Plus and GLX – R

The more recreational 4WD vehicle styles include the GLS and GSR. Unusually buyers can opt for these with a dual cab chassis format. These also come with a slightly different suspension setup aimed for more comfort.

All models come with a 2.4L bi turbo diesel engine. This provides some 154kW of power and 470Nm of torque.

The entry level 2WD work Ute comes with a 6 Sp manual transmission. Every other model comes with a 6 Sp automatic transmission. This is tried and tested reliable transmission.

4WD models come with a version of the Mitsubishi Super Select 4WD system.

Triton is rated to tow 3500 kg along with a 350 kg tow ball rating.

Pricing for the Mitsubishi Triton ranges from $34,490 through to $63,840 plus the usual costs. Given the pricing of other Utes the Triton remains excellent value.

However, the Triton remains a dependable, robust, 4WD Ute that is comfortable to drive around town. As well as capable of heading to the most remote parts of Australia.

This is the mid-range model that comes with leather seats, soft padding on touch points, wireless smart phone connectivity and charging tray. There is an optional pack that adds heated front seats and power adjustment for driver seat.

It has a smaller central screen compared to other Utes, but it is functional and easy to use.

Outside it comes with 18-inch alloy wheels, Tub liner, heated exterior mirrors, LED lighting and more.

The Triton comes with a 2.4 L twin turbo diesel engine with power of 150 kW and 470 Nm of torque between 1500 rpm to 2750 rpm. This is combined with a six speed AT and the Super Select 4WD -ll system with Terrain Control. The GLS also comes with active Yaw control and a standard rear diff lock.

This combination is particularly good for both on and off-road driving.

The latest Triton maintained its 4WD capability while substantially improving its on road ride and handling. In fact, the GLS with its standard rear suspension is amongst the best on road riding and handling Utes on the market.

The Triton GLS will tow 3500 kg and has a payload of around 1000 kg.

Priced from around $59,000 plus the usual costs the Triton GLS is excellent value. This model had the $1500 option pack that includes Black leather trim, heated front seats and power drivers seat.
