best phev suv australia 2023 Page 6

Asking for the “best” PHEV SUV in Australia for 2023 is like asking which footy side never fumbles—depends on the day and your driveway.

• Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV: Pros—usable EV range and family-friendly cabin; Cons—firm ride on big wheels and prices climb fast with trims.
• MG HS Plus EV: Pros—sharp price and generous kit; Cons—smaller boot and gets thirsty once the battery’s spent.
• Mazda CX-60 PHEV: Pros—strong performance and plush cabin; Cons—ride can be busy and options send the sticker skyward.
• Volvo XC60 Recharge: Pros—long EV range for the class and serious shove; Cons—premium pricing and servicing isn’t exactly bargain-bin.

Pick based on budget, daily range and charging access; no single winner, just different flavours of “sensible-ish”.
