AUSTRALIAN SUV REVIEWS

2023 Corolla Cross GXL Hybrid AWD review
Mid-spec ‘E-Four’ (all-wheel drive) Corolla Cross should be the pick of the bunch but the price premium over a front-drive one might put you off

Hybrid SUVs compared: 2023 Nissan X-Trail E-Power vs Toyota RAV4 hybrid
Toyota’s dominant RAV4 is comprehensively pipped by Nissan’s clever new hybrid X-Trail E-Power – and not just because you can get one sooner

Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV review: Development prototype
This Outlander plug-in hybrid development car has seen some things…

2023 Mitsubishi Delica review: Should it come to Oz?
With a few spare minutes at our disposal, we had a brief spin in Mitsubishi’s quirky off-road minivan

2023 Hyundai IONIQ 6 review: Australian launch
Can Hyundai’s ‘electrified streamliner’ make the Tesla Model 3 look like yesterday’s news? We drive it and find out

2023 Mercedes-Benz EQB350 EV review
Merc’s quirky GLB goes electric but loses the third seating row in up-spec 350 form

2023 Subaru WRX RS review: Maybe CVT is best?
The most focused WRX has a bit of an identity crisis – blasphemously, we’d go CVT instead of manual…

2023 Nissan X-Trail vs Mitsubishi Outlander comparison
‘SYNERGY’ is a terrible buzzword, overused and often misused. In a manufacturing sense, though, it’s something carmakers strive for.

2023 LDV Mifa 9 review: Electric people-mover driven
Electric people mover offers style, space and surprisingly decent dynamics, but is undone by a colossal price tag

2023 Volkswagen Polo Style review
Volkswagen’s long-standing light car is more expensive than ever, but loaded up for the modern world

2023 Nissan Qashqai ST+ review
Want the sharpest-driving baby SUV? Nissan’s latest Qashqai is a great place to start looking

2023 Chery Omoda 5 review: First Australian drive
Chery’s comeback kid is a mostly decent small SUV hobbled by insufferable driver assistance tech

2023 Subaru Forester 2.5i-S review
Subaru’s quiet achiever is still a segment fave for many good reasons

Toyota GR Corolla GTS vs Cupra Leon VZx vs Subaru WRX RS comparison review
We had GR-eat expectations for Toyota’s hottest Corolla, but how does it stack up against a European upstart and the latest in a long line of rally-bred royalty?

2023 Tesla Model Y Performance vs Kia EV6 GT comparison review
You’ll lose your licence in less than four seconds, but are these electric SUVs really deserving of their performance car marketing?

2023 Tesla Model Y Performance review
The fastest version of Tesla’s popular electric SUV has landed in Australia at long last, but can the Model Y Performance justify its circa-$30K premium over the base version?

2024 Hyundai IONIQ 5 N review: Prototype drive
With a brief to make the most fun-per-dollar electric car, Hyundai’s N Division boffins are confident enough to let us loose in a prototype IONIQ 5 N – on ice!

2023 Volkswagen Tiguan R Grid Edition review
Pared-back Grid Edition diminishes little of the Tiguan R’s lovely liveability

2023 Land Rover Defender 130 review: First drive
Bigger is better, right? The Defender now comes as an eight-seater

2023 Volkswagen T-Roc R Grid Edition review
All-wheel drive R power for less than a Golf GTI? VW’s T-Roc Grid Edition leaps straight to pole position

2023 Ferrari Purosangue review: International first drive
Is it any surprise that Maranello takes ‘peak SUV’ and raises it?

Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV v Ford Escape PHEV 2023 comparison review
Two plug-in hybrids that provide immunity to range anxiety

2023 Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT review
Porsche attempts to tame targa high country’s blue riband route with the astonishing Cayenne Turbo GT Coupe

Kia Carnival 2023 review: Platinum diesel
Do you really, truly, need more than five seats? SUVs might be the obvious choice, but Kia’s Carnival makes way more sense
