The Mitsubishi Pajero Sport is a rugged wagon that is very good off road but comfortable – and easy to drive – on the road. There are five-seat and seven-seat versions, both offering excellent fuel economy from a modern diesel engine and an eight-speed automatic gearbox.
Pros Excellent value for money, auto braking as standard
Cons Relatively cosy cabin, poor third-row head room
Mitsubishi has given its Pajero Sport large 4WD an update for the 2020 model year, adding further ammunition with which to battle the Ford Everest, Isuzu MU-X, Toyota Fortuner, and Holden Trailblazer. Like the MY19 Triton ute upgrade (the Pajero Sport shares much of the pickup's running gear), the revised SUV looks tougher thanks to its 'dynamic shield' grille and headlight combination, higher bonnet, and new running lights and bumpers.The polarising old vertically-arrayed tail lights have been reduced in size and the bumper made larger. The alloy wheel design is new, and side steps are apparently slightly higher-mounted to bolster ground clearance.
The 2020 Tesla Model X comes with all wheel drive. Available transmissions include: 1-speed direct drive.No major additions announced yet, but Tesla typically updates its vehicles throughout the calendar year.
Pros Instant and powerful acceleration Electric range is impressive Three-row seating is available Access to Tesla's extensive Supercharger network
Cons Finicky upward-swinging rear doors impede functionality Rough, choppy ride with larger wheels Vast windshield lets too much sun and heat into the cabin Apple CarPlay and Android Auto aren't offered
Ignore the silly falcon doors and the 2020 Tesla Model X is a compelling family electric crossover.
Pros Stupefying performance Rides well Quick, clear 17-inch touchscreen All-electric powertrain
Cons Awkward style Falcon doors are a gimmick Disappointing interior space Expensive
It's hard to know exactly what's new on 2020 Model Xs because Tesla, unlike almost every other automaker, makes constant running changes to its products throughout each calendar year. According to a blog post on its consumer site, Tesla touts more efficient electric motors, faster charging via more robust onboard chargers, and a fully adaptive air suspension system. Tesla is also testing a new variant of the Model S—the Model X's sedan cousin—at Germany's famed Nürburgring race course.
Pros Long driving range, quick-charging battery, impressive acceleration.
Cons Cabin doesn't live up to the price, gimmicky Falcon Wing doors, build quality could be better.
