SUV

The SUV (Sports Utility Vehicle) is the evolution of what was once known as the four-wheel-drive (4WD). SUVs range in size beyond the usual small, medium and large, while their shape can either be that of a practical wagon or a style-focused coupe. They also come with the option of all-wheel drive or two-wheel drive.

Genesis GV80 Coupe 2024 review: snapshot
The GV80 Coupe is a new addition to Genesis’ large SUV offering, with a sloping roofline and some small design changes (as well as an alternate seating arrangement) marking its differences from the wagon-style SUV.The Genesis GV80 Coupe starts from $136,000, before on-road costs, making it the most expensive GV80 offering, and comes with five seats, the same 279kW/530Nm twin-turbocharged 3.5-litre V6 as the SUV, and just about exactly the same hefty list of standard features.Leather upholstery, heated and cooled massage seats for the front, a heated steering wheel, an 18-speaker Bang & Olufsen sound system, wireless phone charging, plus the unmissable 27-inch OLED screen for the multimedia and driver display are all standard.It also has the same fuel consumption (11.7L/100km) claim, the same 10-airbag fitout and safety tech including advanced driver assistance, the same five-year/unlimited kilometre warranty and free servicing for five years or 50,000km as the wagon SUV.The major difference for practicality is less boot space and a lack of third row. The roofline means the Coupe has 644 litres of luggage space with the second row up, or 1033L with the second row down while the SUV has 735 litres and 1097L, respectively.
Genesis GV80 2024 review
8/10
The Genesis GV80 was the brand’s first SUV, having launched only a few years ago.Since then, along has come the smaller and more popular GV70, and the new electric GV60. Now, there’s an updated GV80 with a coupe body style.This blingy big dog’s sloping roofline wants to throw down with the BMW X6 and the Merc GLE Coupe, bringing a slimmed-down range and V6-only powertrains, but more standard features and some cool design tweaks.We attended the updated GV80’s launch on Melbourne’s Mornington Peninsula - perhaps where the bougie GV80 might feel most at home - to find out one main thing: should the Euros be worried?[read-more-default-title]Genesis launches Magma performance sub-brand: New Genesis GV60 Magma to lead new wave of BMW M and Mercedes-AMG-rivalling hot rodsGenesis Neolun concept revealed: Hyundai's luxury brand goes after Bentley Bentayga, BMW X7 and Range Rover with ultra-plush SUV that previews the 2025 Genesis GV90Watch out Porsche, Mercedes-AMG and BMW M, Genesis is coming: Why its new Magma performance brand is a big deal
BMW X2 & iX2 2024 review: EV test
7.9/10
Following its global launch in February this year, the second-generation 'U10' 2024 BMW X2 and iX2 have landed in Australia.The coupe SUV range comprises four variants with turbo-petrol and pure electric models sitting alongside each other in showrooms with precious few visual differences.That'll either be a good or bad thing, depending on how much you want to parade your choice to go for current or combustion.[read-more-default-title]New BMW iX sibling and possible iX3 replacement previewed with 'close-to-production' Vision Neue Klasse X electric SUV that will take on Porsche Macan EV and Tesla Model YPetrol power to live on! 2025 BMW X3 'G45' will arrive with combustion engines and plug-in hybrid powertrains to rival Audi Q5, Lexus NX and Mercedes GLC as Neue Klasse X flies electric car flagHow BMW's Neue Klasse concepts will shape future design and powertrains across the company's range - but will the new electric cars be called BMW iX3 and i3?More clear cut is the X2's new – and more sensible – position in BMW's SUV line-up. Rather than a quirky curio that's smaller and less practical than the X1, the 20cm longer gen-two X2 finally makes sense in BMW's X line-up.To see if the driving experience and build quality live up the shiny new exterior, we've been invited to Tasmania to sample the new car's attributes on typically testing (and picturesque) roads.
