Visually, the SUV gets a bolder look thanks to an updated Dynamic Shield grille, revised front and rear bumpers, and new 18-inch alloy wheels. Inside, the cabin sees some welcome upgrades. There's now a fully digital eight-inch driver display and a new steering wheel that is said to create a more contemporary environment. Mitsubishi has also introduced a black headliner to continue to upmarket theme. Key features like black leather upholstery, dual-zone climate control, a sunroof, and an eight-inch touchscreen with smartphone connectivity remain standard.
Nothing has changed under the bonnet, the reliable 2.4-litre four-cylinder turbodiesel engine carries over, producing 133kW and 430Nm. It's paired with an eight-speed automatic gearbox and connects to all corners on four-wheel-drive models, which benefit from Mitsubishi's Super Select 4WD-II system, with selectable drive modes for mud, sand, gravel, and rock. It's a setup that's been tried and tested, particularly in harsh off-road conditions.

One of the oldest running automakers still in existence today, Alfa Romeo will celebrate 115 years of existence on June 24.

This year marks 100 years since the Tipo P2 claimed victory in the first-ever Grand Prix World Championship in 1925, establishing Alfa Romeo at the pinnacle of international motorsport. It's also been 75 years since the unveiling of the 1900, Alfa's first mass-produced model and a cornerstone of post-war Italian automotive resurgence, and 70 years since the debut of the Giulietta Berlina, the model that brought Alfa's elegance and sportiness to everyday life. 2025 also marks 60 years since the birth of the Giulia Sprint GTA. It's also 50 years since the 33 TT 12 won the World Championship for Makes, and 40 years since the introduction of the Alfa 75, the final production Alfa built on the famed Alfetta platform. Another momentous occasion for 2025 will be the introduction of Alfa Romeo's first all-electric model in South Africa. Dubbed the Junior, the platform can host multiple powertrain options, including hybrid and all-wheel drive derivatives and will slot in locally alongside the Tonale, Giulia and Stelvio. Pricing and specification are yet to be revealed and can be expected closer to its local launch. Click here and browse thousands of new and used vehicles here with CARmag!
