2022 Chevrolet C8 Corvette review: First Australian drive

2022 Skoda Kodiaq RS review
The Kodiaq RS is a fast seven-seater aimed at petrolhead parents. But is a switch from diesel to petrol power a move for better or worse?

Land Rover Defender 90 review: Exploring Victoria’s alpine forests
The old Land Rover Defender wouldn’t know its grandchild. So is the new short-wheelbase version a worthy successor to the original? Or just another luxo SUV wannabe?

2022 Kia Carnival S review: 2.2-litre diesel
Kia’s big new ride in town still nails its brief … just don’t call it a people mover

Nissan seems late to the electric crossover party with the Ariya, but it has a mixture of tech and heritage to make up for it. So how is it all coming together?

2022 Nissan Qashqai e-Power review: Prototype drive
When’s a hybrid not a hybrid? When it’s an electric car that uses an engine to top up its batteries. Time to try Nissan’s ‘disruptive’ new Qashqai e-Power

The heart of the Porsche 911 GT3 and mid-engine Cayman platform finally get the marriage we’ve always wanted

Genre-defining Mercedes CLS four-door coupe gets the Affalterbach-lite treatment and might just be close to perfection in AMG CLS 53 4MATIC+ form

2021 Hyundai i30 Sedan N Line manual review
Hyundai still thinks there are enough people who want their sedans small, turbocharged and wild-looking. Who are we to argue?

Fourth-gen Audi S3 packs in performance, practicality and a pleasing price

Are wagons coming back? The newest addition to the Australian market from Genesis seems to think so
