AUSTRALIAN SUV REVIEWS

2015 Toyota Corolla Hatch review
AUSTRALIA’S best-selling car – in Corolla hatchback guise at least – has undergone a raft of improvements designed to keep the hard-charging Mazda 3 and Hyundai i30 at bay. The changes aren’t massive, but they certainly lift the Toyota’s appeal.

2015 Citroen C4 review
The Citroen C4 five-door hatch gets a mid-life facelift, introducing a brilliant Puretech three-cylinder petrol turbo engine and six-speed automatic transmission

Snackable Review: BMW M235i Cabrio
Drop-top baby bimmer not only looks good, but feels good as well.

Comparison review: Five premium mid-size SUVs
We take the new Land Rover Discovery Sport on a multi-day drive with four other premium SUV middleweights including the Audi Q5, Lexus NX, Volvo XC60 and BMW X3. Can it rock the establishment?

Snackable Review: Audi A1 Sportback
Audi’s A1 Sportback hatch proves style and class does exist among the petite.

2015 Mercedes-AMG GT S review
The Mercedes-AMG GT S takes to Aussie roads so we can find out what sort of real-world boost its 375kW brings for the German brand’s supercar credentials

Mercedes-AMG C63 review
Former nat-atmo super sedan turns turbo. So what’s the verdict?

Snackable Review: BMW M135i
It’s a unique hot-hatch that’s big on performance, but less so on standard equipment.

Harrop HSV GTS 580 review
Can HSV’s finest handle almost 800hp?

Snackable Review: Mazda BT-50
The BT-50 is a workhorse. It has a big engine, a lot of power and it can lug a lot around. In other words, it means business.

Snackable Review: BMW X1 2015
The second-generation of BMW’s baby SUV brings new engines, a flexible and roomy interior and an even better looking design, that funnily enough, was penned by an Aussie.

Snackable Review: Mini JCW
Mini’s John Cooper Works is a polished performance hatch with the personality to match.

Head2Head: Lotus Exige S vs Alfa Romeo 4C
Lotus and Alfa Romeo have histories littered with lightweight sports cars, but it’s Lotus that sets the modern-day template. Can the 4C keep up?

2015 Audi Q7 review
Audi’s extra-large SUV is faster, safer and smarter than before – in fact it’s the cleverest car the Ingolstadt factory has built. And it’s spoiling for a fight with the new Volvo XC90, the fresh Mercedes-Benz GLE and the BMW X5

2015 BMW i3 REx long-term car review, part 1
What is it like to live with the electric BMW i3 on a daily basis? The controversial Car of the Year joins the Wheels fleet, complete with range extender, for a long-term evaluation

Mazda MX-5 1.5 review
It’s great fun, just in slow motion

Snackable Review: Volkswagen Amarok
When it comes to 4×4 utes, the Amarok is in a class of its own. It offers passenger-car refinement and is still tough and off-road capable. But most of all it feels ‘right’ – that rare feeling you get when you know you’re in a serious machine and not a toy.

2015 Volvo XC90 review
Swedish brand’s new dawn begins right here with the stylish seven-seat Volvo XC90 SUV that takes up the challenge to the German luxury brands, starting with the Audi Q7 and BMW X5

2014-2015 Ford Focus Review
The Ford Focus has long been one of the better small cars to drive. Power is excellent in most versions, and the revised Focus ST sports hatch is absorbing and quick.

2015 Ford Everest review
Ford’s all-new seven-seater has genuine off-road credentials and the ability to challenge the popular Toyota Prado, Isuzu MU-X and Holden Colorado 7 for 4×4 SUV honours

Snackable Review: Mitsubishi Triton
If you’re looking for a value-for-money four-wheel drive, it’s hard to go past the Mitsubishi Triton. Its tidy handling, user-friendly 4×4 system and the $36,990 entry-level price tag appeals to serious adventurers and weekend warriors alike.

Snackable Review: Nissan Navara NP300
Forget your silly little dogs, your Gucci handbags and your Toyota Yaris – there is nothing more attractive than a real woman, or bloke, driving a real car. The new Nissan Navara NP300 is no bubble-gum ride.

Ford Fiesta Sport vs Renault Clio vs Alfa Romeo Mito
Cool Euro hatches have gone viral, with tiny engines that thrive on boost juice. Does the formula work?

2016 Audi R8 review
New Audi R8 supercar continues with its Lambo-infused formula but adds more technology and more punch to tackle Lamborghini Huracan and Porsche 911 Turbo
