- It's the Everest with all the fruit
- Effortless V6 diesel performance
- Comfy, refined highway tourer
- Platinum is pretty pricey
- A touch firm on 21-inch alloys
- Not super efficient for a diesel

Comparison
Reviews
Mitsubishi has given its large off-road SUV the mildest of mild facelifts, but the core formula remains the same, for better or worse.
James Wong
The top-spec Everest is as good as gold... Platinum even. It blurs the lines between off-road 4WDs and SUVs with its class, though it's pricey.
