Luxury 4x4s
The word icon is probably thrown around too easily these days, but the Range Rover and Mercedes-Benz Geländewagen are two vehicles that certainly fit the tag.
Toyota Kluger review
Toyota’s Kluger is a great family wagon for those forays that don’t stray too far from the bitumen, but it misses out on diesel power.
Jeep Grand Cherokee vs Toyota Prado vs Land Rover Discovery 4 review
It’s this magazine’s reigning 4X4 of the Year, but how does Jeep’s latest Grand Cherokee stack up against the established family wagon favourite, Toyota’s Prado GXL?
Tvan Tanami camper trailer review
The Tvan Tanami proves to be one of the best-designed units and scores particularly well for ease of set-up and need for minimal site area.
Ford SZ Territory review
A turbo-diesel engine from Land Rover makes the Ford SZ Territory the perfect SUV.
Volkswagon Amarok vs Mitsubishi Triton vs Nissan Navara review
Even with respected road-car credentials, it was seen as a bold move by VW to move into a market dominated by Japanese manufacturers.
Jeep Wrangler Rubicon vs Land Rover Defender 90 vs Toyota FJ Cruiser review

Toyota LandCruiser 100 Series review
Michael Beaumont’s sensibly modified 100 Series is a great example of a sharply-built budget tourer.

Normally staid Toyota breaks with tradition and goes all, well, traditional with its FJ retrospective.

It’s that time again as we say goodbye to a particularly popular long-term test vehicle: the Jeep Wrangler Unlimited.

The new Range Rover Vogue TDV8 manages a scale of economy not yet seen with the luxury mud-plugger.

All this year's finalists will make a pleasant vehicle for touring both the wilder areas of Australia and the city backstreets, some just do it better.
Land Rover Discovery 4 vs Range Rover Sport review
Sometimes, more technological attention needs to be paid when developing new versions of old-school stuff that worked.
Hummer H3 review
There's no mistaking the lineage of the Hummer H3.
Land Rover LRX review
It's not often you get to drive a concept vehicle - especially on public road. Andrew Frankel was lucky enough to nab a drive of Land Rover's all-new hybrid LRX concept in New York.

Allan Whiting takes two turbo-diesel giants - the Lancruiser 200 VX and Discovery 3 HSE - into tough bush terrain for an off-road slug-fest.
Lexus LX570 review
