2026 Audi Q5 Summary

Audi has sold millions of its Q5 mid-size SUV since it launched in 2009.

The previous version was such a hit it continued to sell in large numbers thanks to tasteful upgrades long past what should have been its use-by date. And that’s what makes this one such a big step for the brand.

It’s the largest and most comprehensive overhaul of the Q5 since its original launch. The brand has thrown out the rule book and started fresh. Everything this time around is new.

Was it worth the wait? Does the new one have what it takes to live up to the popularity of the previous version? We attended the Australian launch to find out.

2023 Range Rover Evoque Summary

Range Rover has developed a bit of an image problem in the last few years.

To many the brand is still the face of a quintessentially British aspirational luxurious off-roader. But to a growing group, it has become synonymous with the concept of an environmentally reckless fuel-guzzling SUV.

They’re big, heavy, and still feature V8 engines, but Range Rover knows all too well the writing is on the wall for its increasingly infamous range of combustion vehicles.

The trouble is, customers love them, and while the I-Pace from sister brand Jaguar is a big leap into the future, there needs to be a happy medium for easing some of its existing customers away from combustion, while still offering the kinds of excess and aspirational performance the Range Rover brand is associated with.

Enter this car, the Evoque HSE P300e. It’s a plug-in hybrid, notably only available in the top trim level, with top-shelf performance, too.

Is it the right car to represent Range Rover’s entry-level model at a critical time of technological transformation? Let’s take a look.
