REVIEWS

2016 Audi Q7 e-tron 3.0 TDI quattro review
It’s a sprinter and endurance athlete, an eco-warrior and ultimately a luxury family trickster. Audi’s Q7 hybrid is the prince of diversity.

Alfa 4C v Audi TT v Peugeot RCZ-R comparison review
A cheap Italian supercar, a sharply suited German, or a firey, bolshy Frenchie? Better bring your gloves!

2016 Mercedes AMG C63 S Coupe review
Two doors fewer but so much more in new Mercedes-AMG C63 S Coupe

2015 Toyota Mirai review
Toyota has developed Mirai as the world’s first full-production fuel cell vehicle. Australians miss out though as Toyota will only sell it where refuelling stations are available.

2015 BMW 7 Series review
BMW reckons its new 7 Series, and not Merc’s S Class, is now the most technologically advanced car on the road. And they make a fair argument.

Mazda CX-5 v Hyundai Tucson v Ford Kuga v Subaru Forester comparison review
Can the turbocharged, top-spec Hyundai Tucson Highlander run with the best of the medium SUV bunch, when each is in its most powerful form?

2016 Ferrari 488 Spider review
The Ferrari 488 Spider gets all the good stuff from the GTB coupe – including a new turbocharged V8 – but adds a retractable hardtop that stows in 14 seconds. Can it be as good to drive?

2015 Subaru Forester 2.0D-L long-term car review, part 3
Diesel or petrol? The question’s still open

2015 Subaru Forester 2.0D-L long-term car review, part 2
Surprise in store as the Forester takes a belting.

2015 Honda S660 review
This little belter of a roadster, yours for less than $23,000 in Japan, is a reminder of how good Honda can be at making fun cars

2015 Hyundai Genesis long-term car review
We rate and review the 2015 Hyundai Genesis, the company’s first luxury sedan

2016 Subaru Levorg 2.0 review
A classic-Liberty sized sports wagon with WRX running gear, the Subaru Levorg will give the VW Golf R wagon a run for its money

2015 Toyota Fortuner review
Toyota brings us a seven-seat, off-road capable wagon that’s based on the Hilux dual-cab ute. Is the Fortuner really an enticing alternative to the Kluger and Prado?

2016 DS 5 Blue HDi review
An exquisite interior and smooth diesel engine distinguish the first car from premium Citroen sub-brand DS. How well does the chassis perform in an Australian environment?

Tokyo Motor Show: Honda Clarity Fuel Cell first drive
Honda was the first to register a zero-emissions hydrogen fuel cell vehicle, and Wheels has just driven an all-new, bigger, more powerful version launched at the Tokyo Motor Show

Hyundai ix35 Fuel Cell review
The Hyundai ix35 Fuel Cell is the world’s first mass-production hydrogen fuel-cell powered car, and its presence in Australia signals the Korean company’s focus on hydrogen power as a key part of sustainable motoring

2015 BMW i3 REx long-term car review, part 3
As the BMW i3 departs the Wheels test fleet, modern life strikes a cord

2015 BMW i3 REx long-term car review, part 2
Family bonding proves inevitable in the BMW i3’s unusually intimate cabin.

2015 McLaren 570S Coupe review
McLaren retains the form factor but shrinks the price, sending its 570S Coupe in to bat against the likes of the Porsche 911 Turbo, the Audi R8 and the Aston Martin Vantage

2015 Honda Civic Hatch Series II review
Honda has improved one of its most invisible models – the UK-built Civic Hatch – to the point where it is a viable alternative to the better of the C-segment five-doors

2015 BMW X1 xDrive 25i Review
A front-drive BMW X1 is a big step ahead in terms of packaging. It’s a shame the way it rides doesn’t live up to the same standards

2015 Jeep Renegade review
Jeep serves up a neat, petite and funky-looking city soft-roader, but seemingly abandons its super-sharp pricing policy. Good idea?

2015 Lexus GS F review
Forget grunt, it’s about grip with the new Lexus GS F medium performance sedan that uses an old recipe to find new and exciting flavours of fun.

2016 Volkswagen Passat review
The B8-generation Volkswagen Passat combines affordable luxury with handsome sheetmetal, generous space and an excellent chassis
