The new Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV is the Japanese carmaker’s second attempt at the world of electric propulsion, after the introduction of the Mitsubishi i-MiEV in 2009.

The Jeep Grand Cherokee is one of Australia’s most popular SUVs, and it’s not hard to see why. When we drove the 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland, we loved its driveability, off-road abilities and the long list of standard equipment. With the range starting at just $43,000, this soundly engineered SUV hits …

The last-generation Nissan Pathfinder was an unapologetically rugged SUV, with genuine rock climbing and mud crawling abilities.
