Kia’s crucial new medium-sized EV5 electric SUV condenses the brilliant EV9’s striking appearance and benchmark interior design into a more compact, much more affordable package

2024 Lexus LBX review: First Australian drive
Diminutive luxury SUV is a confused yet delightful drive – bring on an LBX F

2024 Toyota C-HR review: First Australian drive
The new-generation Toyota C-HR compact SUV range is here, with the second-gen line-up going hybrid only. That plays to Toyota’s strengths, but in a number of ways, this product is a bit of a miss for the small SUV market.

BYD sub-brand’s truly showstopping take on the luxury SUV, and it could come to Australia

2024 Ford E-Transit electric van review
In many ways, the electrification of Ford’s enduring Transit van just makes sense. But does the price?

2024 Volkswagen Passat review: International first drive
The Passat enters its ninth generation and sixth decade, but Oz sales look unlikely. Are we missing out?

2024 Subaru Solterra review
It’s Subaru’s first EV and its most expensive model, but can the Solterra trouble big-name rivals that include the Tesla Model Y?

Ferrari’s incredible 296 GTB offers an opportunity to consider how far the supercar has come and whether the genre still retains its lustre

BMW’s X2 returns with an electric stablemate as well as a level of technology and interior space to worry cars from the class above

The base MG4 has already impressed us and we’re now living with a mid-range long-termer, though how does the model with the longest range stack up?

2024 Hyundai i30 sedan hybrid review
The facelifted i30 sedan range covers just about every base when it comes to looks and driving flavour. But for most people, it’ll be this newly introduced, hyper-efficient hybrid model that stands out

2025 Volkswagen Tiguan review
VW hasn’t exactly been knocking it out of the park recently. Is Tiguan gen-three a return to form?

Secure dynamics and value prevail but more punch would be nice
