We put the Ranger FX4 Max to the test to establish whether it is Raptor-like or Raptor-lite

The AMG-engineered seventh-generation SL rediscovers the fabric top, adds AWD, token rear seats and more digital wizardries. No EV version planned, but a PHEV is under way.

Will this be the last great American four-door? Regardless, there are many other reasons why the CT5-V Blackwing is one unforgettable Cadillac – it’s only a shame we can’t have it in Australia

Not much separates the Tiguan 162TSI R-Line from pricier premium models –on paper at least – so we take one for a spin to see if that really is the case
