2020 Audi Q7 Summary

You never want to be left behind by the competition, especially in the automotive world, where things change at a breakneck pace. Case in point: The Audi Q7.

If Audi is well-known for its subtle mid-life facelifts that make you question the difference between new and old, then the second-generation Q7 is the exception to the rule.

Make no mistake, the large SUV has been given a major facelift – one that it needed to keep up with its new-generation rivals.

So, has it been worth the extra effort? We put the updated Q7's volume-selling 50 TDI variant to the test to find out.

2023 Lexus LX Summary

The Lexus LX500d is the base-spec variant in the Lexus LX range, so it’s your entry-level introduction to a prestige line-up. 

But “base-spec” and “entry-level” usually mean “budget-friendly”, right? Well, this seven-seat four-wheel-drive SUV has a price tag tickling the $150 grand mark, so it’s not a cheap vehicle, but it is a very refined, plush and feature-packed urban-friendly vehicle – and it is an effective off-road touring platform.

So, is the Lexus LX simply a Toyota LandCruiser 300 Series in a nice suit?

Read on.
