4X4 Reviews

Land Rover Discovery SD4 SE Auto Review

The Discovery Sport is a big step up on its medium luxury rivals, with a willingness to clamber up some relatively challenging obstacles.

Ironman 4x4 D23 Navara

Nissan is launching its new Navara in Australia over the next couple of days and we had a sneak peak of the D23 taking the Ironman 4x4’s development vehicle for a spin.

Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit diesel review

The Jeep Grand’s appeal lies in its sensible (read: not too hulking) size, great towing credentials and decent blend of on- and off-road ability.

Techniques – Driving on Sand

Glenn Torrens explains a few simple practices for successful sand driving.

Land Rover Discovery TDV6 review

We took the expedition-ready TDV6 Discovery for a weekend shakedown in the Vic High Country.

Hyundai Santa Fe Review

There’s lots to like with the Santa Fe, starting with the practical, well-priced body. The diesel engine, too, is a win in a market segment where thirstier petrol models reign.

Mercedes-Benz G 500 4x4² Concept review

Mercedes Benz has raided the parts bin to create a Frankenstein G-Wagen to scare the bejesus out of anyone who dares test its limits. 4x4 Australia scored an exclusive first drive the concept.

Volkswagen Tiguan 130TDI Review

Volkswagen’s second generation Tiguan SUV is more evolution than revolution yet remains one of the better small all-wheel drive wagons. Toby Hagon takes a spin in the 130tdi variant.

Porsche Macan S Diesel review

If you want to make a statement and have fun doing it, the Macan is an excellent choice.

Mercedes-Benz GLA250 4 Matic review

The GLA250 4 Matic is a compact off-roader that’s best suited to a couple rather than a family, but for suburban duties it does a fine job.

Mitsubishi Pajero GLX review

It's showing its age but the Pajero represents reasonable value for those looking for a competent and reliable off-roader.

Nissan X-Trail TS Diesel review

If you’re happy to change gears yourself then the latest X-Trail is a thoughtful, well specified medium SUV that’s also impressively frugal.

Mazda CX-5 Grand Touring Diesel review

The CX-5 is an impressive mid-sized SUV – one of the best on the market - but one best left to light off-road duties.

Land Rover Discovery SDV6 SE review

The Discovery is pitched as a premium product and comes with an appropriately premium price tag. Entry to the family starts at $69,200 for the base model TDV6 diesel.

Colorado 7 LTZ v MU-X LS-U v Challenger LS

These three wagons are all derived from utes, but which one has made the best transition from workhorse to family favourite?

2014 Nissan Pathfinder Hybrid Ti review

A regular V6 model that won't break the bank

Nissan X-Trail video review

The third-gen Nissan X-Trail offers more of the same in a fresh cloak. Watch the first drive video of the Nissan X-Trail, put through its paces by the 4x4 Australia team.
