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.

Subaru’s quiet achiever is still a segment fave for many good reasons

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?

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
