2024 Audi Q3 Summary

The 2025 Audi Q3 Sportback is a small but not-too-small SUV that sits within a close-knit segment. The Q3 Sportback attempts to spice up the premium end of this small SUV market by offering a design-focused 'coupe' body style, but is it enough for it to go 'tyre to tyre' against its main rival, the new BMW X2?

It's other rivals are also renowned for their luxury and on-road prowess - think the Mercedes-Benz GLA and Lexus UX. However, the changes for the new Q3 are small and its rivals have all benefitted from a recent refresh.

In this review we explore how the top-model Sportback S line 40 TSFI quattro handles being an urban dweller.

2025 MG HS Summary

The meteoric rise of the Chinese-owned MG brand continues with the HS, a family-focused SUV stepping into the most hotly contested segment in Australia. 

When the first generation HS arrived in December 2019, it should have been MG’s big sales driver, yet it sat in the shadows of the cut-price MG3 hatch and ZS small SUV as they lifted the storied MG badge into Australia’s overall top-10 sellers.

The HS has so far been MG’s missing link and that’s down to the segment being full of such strong name plates such as the Mazda CX-5 and Toyota RAV4. The mid-size SUV has also been the focus of other strong value rivals that were better, namely the GWM Haval H6.
