Episode 219 - Best utes coming to Australia in 2022!

In this episode, James Cleary, Matt Campbell and Tung Nguyen talk about all things motoring, including:

The best new utes coming to Australia this year. Utes are an incredibly popular segment in Australia and this year we look set to have some very exciting prospects hitting our roads, including: The new Ford Ranger and Ranger Raptor, Mazda BT-50, Volkswagen Amarok, and Isuzu D-Max.
The fresh metal we've been driving this week: the LDV T60 Max, Kia Sportage S Diesel, and Tung, our European correspondent, gives us a sneak peek at the new Nissan Qashqai.

You can get in touch with us on Facebook, Twitter (#CGPodcast) and Instagram, and let us know if you can see any of these utes in your garage by emailing comments@carsguide.com.au

You can subscribe to the CarsGuide podcast on iTunes, find us on TuneIn, Stitcher, Spotify, Pocket Casts, Whooshkaa, and, naturally, the CarsGuide website.
