But now based on the Triton platform, it will be available from December this year.

Interest has been strong with over 3000 potential buyers registering.

It will come in three different versions. The entry GLS with a choice of either five or seven seats. The Exceed and the sporty GSR.

All come with

• 4L Euro 6 turbo diesel engine with 150kW of power and 480Nm of torque.
• This drives all wheels through the respected Super Select 4WD-II system
• Supporting this is Super-All Wheel Control with 7 drive modes with Active Yaw Control
• An updated eight speed Automatic Transmission
• And rear diff locks.

The modern design pays homage to the original Pajero’s while bringing futuristic style elements.

Inside its spacious, comfortable and luxurious. Especially in the Exceed version.

Seating design is inspired by rally experience, offering exceptional support in the bolsters to reduce fatigue and a range of adjustability to tailor the experience.

Powered lumbar support is available across the range. Something my ageing back appreciates.

All models get the full suite if safety features as well.

Pajero offers a 3.5-tonne braked towing capacity, while Trailer Load Assist (TLA) actively enhances stability while towing.

Many regular listeners will know I own a Pajero as my personal car. Its over 23 years old now, has something like 250,000km on it and has been to most outback places in Australia.

Im a big fan of the true 4WD capability. Even though its old it still remains a robust reliable 4WD.

Pricing for the new Pajero starts from around $68,500 through to around $85,000 all plus the usual costs.

Inside, leather-appointed seats, twin 12.3-inch screens, and a panoramic roof. The back seat swallowed two adults and their gear without a complaint.

Here’s how it works. A 2.4-litre petrol engine, two electric motors, 221 kilowatts all up. The 22.7 kilowatt-hour battery gives 103 kilometres of electric range — so the school run, the shops and the commute all happen on electricity. Charge it overnight from an ordinary power point.

On the road it just coasts along nicely — smooth, quiet, with Australian-tuned suspension that irons out the bumps.

Five-star ANCAP. Up to ten years of warranty. All-wheel drive. From $71,640 before on-roads.

The Outlander PHEV. Electric savings, without the range anxiety.

The post 2026 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV – driven for economy. appeared first on Motoring Minute.

A wider, stronger face, 18-inch alloys with privacy glass. Gives a real presence at the kerb.

Inside, the tech is the star. Everyone else chases wide screens, the ASX runs a portrait one that doesn’t block your view, with Google Maps in the driver’s display.

Under the bonnet, a 1.3-litre turbo petrol engine. 113 kilowatts, 270 newton-metres, with a seven-speed dual-clutch. It claims 6.4 litres per hundred k and over my week of testing it matched almost exactly.

Here’s the bit I didn’t see coming. I enjoyed the dual-clutch. Hold a gear, feel the shift land and ease back into the power. A flow an EV never quite replicates.

A soft, settled ride. Physical buttons that survived the touchscreen age. Up to ten years of warranty, servicing and roadside assistance.

From around $42,000 before on-roads.

The Mitsubishi ASX . Sharp to look at, sensible to drive and covered for longer than most people keep a car.

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.
