Practical, nimble, and fun to drive. For rather small drivers up to 1.75 m there's plenty of space even on the back seat. Useful driver-assist systems, and Android Auto works well. Very economical in summer. In winter a lot of energy is used in the first five minutes to bring the battery up to 20°C, which makes consumption on short winter trips very high.

Mitsubishi Outlander

The Mitsubishi Outlander is a sensible family SUV that blends roomy practicality with a calm, assured ride—ideal for school runs and weekend getaways. It won’t set pulses racing, but its tidy interior, straightforward equipment and low-stress ownership make it a smart, unfussy pick for buyers who prefer reliability over flash.
