Now an eight-year veteran on the Australian scene, the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV was the world’s first plug-in hybrid SUV. The Outlander PHEV’s on the larger end of the mid-size SUV segment, allowing a third row of seats for super-breeders. Safety kit also runs deep. What is it? All prices are before on-roads.

And that means it’s not cheap. The Nissan X-Trail e-Power with e-4ORCE has a well-stocked cabin That $4200 premium goes into the EV tech, not the equipment list, so you can expect the same level of kit you’ll find in the ICE-powered equivalents. The result is a family focused SUV that genuinely falls into the fun-to-drive camp.

Wagons have often been stereotyped as boring – especially before the shift to minivans and later, SUVs, which made them seem cool again – but boring isn’t always bad. Speaking of price points, this is not a cheap car. A 20-inch-wheel kit replaced the 19s and cost $3,200. Sometimes it’s nice and peaceful. The cabin helps.

So instead it’s hybrid and EV tech for Kia’s new entry-level electrified SUV. The compact SUV sits under the EV6 from a pricing perspective. But even as a hybrid the Niro doesn’t come particularly cheap. The Niro has seating for five in what is officially a compact SUV body. But it’s spacious by compact SUV standards.

Very closely related to the Ioniq 5 crossover SUV and Kia EV6 , it rides on the same E-GMP architecture, has the same 400V/800V ultra-fast charging capability, same (in Long Range guise) 77.4kWh battery and same 239kW/605Nm from its twin motors. They’re a big improvement on the Ioniq 5’s slightly cheap looking and feeling doors.
