Beautiful, compliant ride; Fun to drive; Enjoyable manual gearbox; Striking exterior design with customisation options; Slick cabin presentation; Servicing only $195 per year (or 15,000km)
Shallow boot; Claustrophobic rear seat; Rear vision limitations; Modest performance
Flexible cabin with class-leading space and flexibility, and an upmarket feel; decent list of standard equipment; willing drivetrain
Notable NVH levels; middling dynamics; some rivals have sat-nav and modern software such as Apple CarPlay/Android Auto
Spacious back seats; Soft-roading credibility; Comfortable ride, sharp handling; Improved running costs
Shallow and small boot; Engine never better than average; All manner of chimes and beeps
Smart looks, particularly with 19s; Spacious cabin for the class; Solid build quality; Decent equipment list; Eats up highway kays
No adaptive cruise or lane assist until Ti arrives; It's expensive; Atmo petrol can feel underdone; Busy ride on 19s; Tyre roar can get intrusive; No rear air vents; Cruise control doesn't brake downhill
Semi-premium cabin; Easy-to-use infotainment; Urban-focussed driving character
High-set rear seat; Lack of highway-speed ride control; Doesn’t follow Mitsubishi’s traditional value pricing
Highly efficient diesel engine; Plenty of punch with a smooth shifting eight-speed automatic gearbox; Generous interior room in the second row and accessible cargo space
Wind noise at highway speeds can be intrusive; The standard 6.5-inch infotainment system can look a little low-rent in comparison to the optional 8.8-inch unit
Quick without being manically so; Adroit handling; Edgy styling; Seamless seven-speed S tronic transmission; Excellent off-road dynamics
Plenty of road and wind noise; Some cheap elements in the cabin; Pretty cramped second row; Boot space well short of class leaders
Long list of standard equipment at long last; the driver’s choice as the 2.0-litre petrol is a fun little unit; smart looks and practical interior just what buyers want
Front-drive platform and cheaper-feeling components make the price-parity X3 seem like a better value proposition; need to roll in the M-Sport pack to score dynamic suspension – it’s a start
Sprightly turbocharged engine; Plenty of traction on offer; Has the latest Smartphone connectivity; Good standard safety equipment; New LED headlights are really good
Still a bit expensive compared with rivals; Not as practical as most competitors; Cramped back seat; Suspension can be upset by sharp edges; Some low-speed quibbles
Petrol engine is punchy and rapid while remaining relatively efficient; steering and handling are both excellent; interior has more room than you expect
Options pricing can push the buy-in price up alarmingly; not enough standard equipment for the price; misses out on next-gen central control pad and rotary dial
