2025 Mahindra XUV700 AX7L vs Mitsubishi Outlander LS 2WD: Spec battle
The boundaries between compact soft-roaders or crossovers and full-size SUVs are becoming more blurry every day. Mid-size SUVs – Australia's most popular new vehicle type – were once exclusively suited to nuclear families, but there are now a raft of options that offer even more flexibility and seating capacity, like the Mitsubishi Outlander and Mahindra XUV700 that we're pitting against each other here. So if you need room for seven on the inside, but don't have the car parking space for a larger SUV, then these two deliver where it counts. But which delivers the most? Let's find out… The Mahindra XUV700 AX7L is the flagship variant in the two-variant lineup and has a regular drive-away price of $42,990. But the Indian car maker is currently running an end-of-financial-year incentive that returns it to 2024 pricing and slashes $3000 off the sticker, which makes it remarkably good value. In comparison, the Mitsubishi Outlander LS is the second step on a five-grade ladder but, more importantly, the most affordable one that can be had with the seven-seat option. Unlike the front-drive-only Mahindra , buyers have the choice of either a front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive transmission, with a starting price of $41,240 plus on-roads or $43,740 plus on-roads respectively. Mitsubishi also offers the Outlander with a plug-in hybrid powertrain, which Mahindra doesn't, but the most affordable model commands a $20k premium over the entry-level 2WD ES, starting at $57,290 plus on-roads. Both of these mid-size SUVs deliver a generous list of standard equipment that includes 18-inch alloy wheels, dual-zone climate control with rear air vents, push-button start and infotainment displays with Bluetooth connectivity and smartphone mirroring. But the Mahindra goes the extra mile in terms of luxuries and conveniences. Where the Outlander has cloth trim, a conventional instrument cluster, a six-speaker audio system and an 8.0-inch colour touchscreen display with wired connections for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, the flagship XUV700 has synthetic leather trim with ventilated front seats and electric adjustment for the driver, plus twin 10.25-inch displays with wireless smartphone connections, a wireless phone charger and a 3D sound system with 12 speakers, as well a panoramic glass sunroof. The Mitsubishi Outlander has a five-star ANCAP safety rating from 2021 with among the highest scores in its class for individual criteria including Adult Occupant Protection (83%), Child Occupant Protection (92%), Vulnerable Road Users (81%) and Safety Assist (83%). The Mahindra XUV700 has yet to be assessed by the independent crash test body despite being on sale in Australia for more than two years. However, both come equipped with an extensive array of essential safety features and advanced driver assist systems, including: The Mahindra XUV700 and Mitsubishi Outlander are almost identical in terms of exterior dimensions, but the Mahindra rides on a slightly longer wheelbase which provides a bit more packaging flexibility for the interior. The dashboard layout is relatively conservative in its overall design but looks more modern than the Outlander thanks to its twin digital displays and two-tone colour palette. Its synthetic leather trim brings a sense of luxury and the large panoramic sunroof bathes the cabin in light to give it a more airy feeling, both of which make the XUV700 a pleasant place to sit in. The front seats sit a little too high and restrict headroom for taller passengers, but the middle row is roomy enough for three with a commanding view ahead. Access to the third row is easy via a one-touch lever that tumbles the 60/40-split middle row forward. But, while there are cupholders and air vents back there, they are really only suited to small kids or occasional use. The Outlander is no different in that department, although its third row is even a little tighter, particularly in terms of headroom, and doesn't have separate air vents. You also have to install the head restraint each time you use them. With all three rows in use, neither the Mahindra or Mitsubishi have enough cargo capacity to cater for seven, but the XUV700's boot is significantly larger as a five-seater. The front seats in the Outlander do, however, have more adjustment and sit lower for a better driving position, and the middle row is big enough for three. The Outlander's darker trim on the lower half does make it feel smaller, and the overall design is pleasant and comprises good quality materials that feel robust enough to handle the rough and tumble of family life. Here's where these two cars deviate the most. Even though both are front-wheel drive and come with automatic transmissions as standard, the Mahindra has a 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine combined with a conventional six-speed auto, whereas the Mitsubishi has a 2.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol four-cylinder with a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT). Despite its smaller capacity, the XUV700 delivers healthy outputs of 149kW and 380Nm compared to the Outlander's 135kW and 244Nm. But it does require premium unleaded, and it does have to push an additional 200kg of mass, which gives the Outlander an slight advantage when it comes to fuel consumption (8.3L/100km versus 7.7L/100km). Mitsubishi raised the bar for aftersales ownership provisions when it became the first automotive brand to offer a 10-year factory warranty. However, it is conditional on the vehicle being maintained on schedule through its authorised dealer network and it's limited to the first 200,000km of running. Its capped price servicing scheme runs for the entire duration of the warranty period with an average annual cost of $434. However, roadside assistance is only offered for the first four years. Mahindra provides a seven-year, 150,000km warranty for the XUV700, with roadside assistance for the same length of time. But capped price servicing is only available for the first four years and costs fractionally more, at an average of service price of $445.50. Interestingly, Mahindra recommends the XUV700 is serviced at 10,000km during the first year of ownership, which then extends to 15,000km each year after that, the same intervals as the Outlander. Both the Mahindra XUV700 and Mitsubishi Outlander deliver in spades if you're in the market for a flexible, budget-friendly mid-size SUV. But if you have a larger family and need seven seats more than just every now and then, we'd recommend moving up a size to dedicated three-row large SUV. As for these two entry-level seven-seaters, the Outlander is the safe choice, and the 10-year warranty provides unparalleled long-term peace of mind.

Ontario woman's vehicle repossessed after 2 missed car payments
A report from Equifax found more Canadians are having trouble making their car payments and if you miss two or more payments your vehicle could be repossessed. A new report from Equifax Canada says more Canadians are having trouble making their car payments. Missing two or more payments could lead to your vehicle being repossessed. If that happens, you'll more than likely face additional charges to get your car back which could negatively impact your credit rating. 'It's been horrible with the whole situation,' said Rooselyn St. Jean of Brampton, who had her 2014 Mitsubishi Outlander repossessed in March of this year. St. Jean said when she finished college, her mother gifted her the SUV, but at the time her mom was still paying off a loan she had taken out for new tires and rims. 'The vehicle was under my name, but the loan was under my mom's name and she was making payments for it,' said St. Jean. St. Jean says her mother borrowed about $3,000 three years ago and still had a year left to make payments. She was paying $115 a month, but when she missed two payments in December and January, the SUV was repossessed from their driveway two months later. 'So, it was just two payments that were missed because my father wasn't working, and my mother was the only one working full time.' St. Jean was told with added towing, storage, and other fees she would have to pay about $2,000 to get the vehicle back, but it was money she didn't have. 'I know I don't have $2,000 sitting in my account, so I know for a fact there is a good chance I won't see my car again.' St. Jean's mother's loan was with FIX4 Capital. In a statement to CTV News, a spokesperson for FIX4 Capital said, 'Due to customer privacy regulations and in accordance with our internal policies we are unable to discuss or disclose any details related to this account.' 'However, we can confirm that the vehicle in question is currently in our possession, and the customer has not taken the necessary steps to redeem it. Please note that all internal and external procedures were followed in accordance with our company policy throughout the process—from the time of default to the repossession of the vehicle.' Canadian Debt Relief, a Canadian publisher that writes educational content on debt and personal finance topics, told CTV News it is aware there has been an increase in consumers having difficulties paying off car loans. 'We have definitely seen an increase in car repossessions,' said Martin Kosic. Kosic advises that if you receive a notice of repossession, you should contact your lender right away. 'If you contact the lender on the first missed payment, you may be able to discuss referral or restructuring options. Reach out to lenders, attempt a private sale on your own, look for refinancing options with credit unions or alternative lenders who may be able to offer more flexible payment options,' said Kosic. St. Jean said she believes her SUV has now been sold at auction and she has no idea how she'll get around, or back and forth to work. 'It's very sad and to think I'm not going to have my car is hard,' said St. Jean.

2025 Mitsubishi Outlander price and specs
The updated petrol-powered Mitsubishi Outlander has received retuned steering and suspension, plus new equipment, but all members of the range are now at least $2000 pricier than before. The refreshed mid-size SUV goes on sale locally from June. Mitsubishi has yet to release local pricing and specifications for the updated Outlander PHEV lineup. Hundreds of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now. Get the experts on your side and score a great deal. Browse now. The Black Edition that slotted between the LS and Aspire is dead, while the Exceed and Exceed Tourer lose their third row of seating. All petrol variants have subtly revised front fascia designs, new wheel designs, and smoked tail-light lenses with full LED lighting. Inside, there's a larger centre bin, cupholders that are now positioned along the length of the centre tunnel, and "higher quality materials" and "ornate interior stitching". All interior lighting is now touch-capacitive LED, as well. Gone are the 8.0 and 9.0-inch infotainment screens, as all variants are now equipped with a larger 12.3-inch touchscreen system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, plus three USB-C ports up front. A 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster is now standard across the lineup, as are Yamaha-branded sound systems. As we've previously reported, all 2025 petrol Outlanders are fitted with an Australian-developed steering and suspension package which has also been adopted for global markets. There are recalibrated front and rear shock absorbers and a smaller-diameter front anti-roll bar, while the electric power steering mapping has been adjusted to improve on-centre feel and provide "a more linear response when turning". There are also new Bridgestone summer tyres, and there have also been updates to the chassis and body to reduce noise, vibration and harshness.
