Wheels mag February 2023: Mediums well done, and plenty on the side

Our medium SUV mega test is the star of this issue, but for a little more wow factor, we've also driven the new 911 Dakar and Land Rover's ridonkulous Defender 90 P525 V8!

Whether you're looking for guidance on your next family hauler or it's only power you're after, the Feb 2023 issue of Wheels has you covered.


We drive Australia's most popular cars and figure out which medium SUV deserves its place at the top of the sales charts and which are mere also-rans.

Can Nissan's new X-Trail break into the top echelon of family transport and does Toyota's hot-ticket RAV4 Hybrid still warrant a place at the top table?

If that's all a bit sensible, we also have a Sahara desert drive in Porsche's new 911 Dakar and a road test of BMW's long-awaited M3 Touring.

We put Volkswagen's punchy Tiguan R up against Skoda's Kodiaq RS and also get behind the wheel of the Audi Q8 e-tron, the Porsche Macan T and the 386kW Land Rover Defender 90 P525 V8.

Yes, that last one's as unhinged as it sounds.

The Toyota Supra headlines our Modern Classic section – yes the iconic A80 version – while the Wheels garage sees Ford's latest Everest V6 sidle in alongside the Kia EV6 GT Line and the Hyundai i30 Sedan N.

We get the low down from Mitsubishi Australia boss Shaun Westcott, celebrate the life of the late Ken Block, and opinion from Andy Enright, Daniel Gardner and Dylan Campbell.

There's a bit of everything in the February issue, due on shelves Monday 13th February. Don't miss it.
