    Lexus LM 2024 review
    7.9/10
    Most people that are wealthy enough to be ferried around in a car or limo choose a long luxurious sedan like a Mercedes-Benz S-Class, BMW 7 Series or a Lexus LS. Of course, there are now also SUVs that are used for the same purpose.But what about a plush people mover? There are very few of these available in Australia and they don’t sell in huge numbers. But Lexus believes there is a market for such a model and it has just launched the big and bold LM. The hybrid-only range is a unique proposition and the LM should hold appeal for limo and tourism operators, and larger cashed-up families. This initial launch drive was a slightly different format to usual. Given the intended use of the lounge-like model, Lexus arranged for us to be collected in the LM by a chauffeur and ferried from Melbourne to the Mornington Peninsula. From there we got behind the wheel for a brief drive, but many of my impressions will focus on the passenger cabin experience.Note too that the LM500h does not land until early 2024, so we only sampled the LM350h AWD.So jump aboard and let’s see if this Lexus can do everything the LS can do - and maybe even a little bit more.
    MG MG4 XPower 2024 review
    6.9/10
    MG has been one of the fastest growing brands in the Australian market in the past five years, carving a spot for itself amongst the best-selling names.But now it’s about to take on arguably its toughest challenge yet - selling a performance car.MG’s success until now has been built largely on value, with its affordable MG3 and ZS SUV leading the way. The arrival of the all-new, all-electric MG4 XPower means the brand will try its luck at selling cars based on performance, dynamics and an emotional connection.It’s not the first electric hot hatch in Australia, that distinction arguably belongs to the Cupra Born. But, MG has achieved much higher sales locally than Cupra, making it the first electric hot hatch from a mainstream brand, and that’s why it has the potential to be a game changer for the market.If the XPower succeeds it will likely reshape the hot hatch market, which until now has been dominated by long-time players and big-name brands, including the Honda Civic Type R, Hyundai i30 N, Toyota GR Corolla and Volkswagen Golf R.
    BYD Dolphin 2024 review
    7.8/10
    It’s about time for a change. Since the beginning of the EV era, Tesla has been the dominant name, and not without good reason.Tesla made electric cars popular, cool, and above all, accessible. To this day, the Model 3 and Model Y remain excellent purchases in their respective categories.And yet, the tide seems to be turning. Many buyers haven't been thrilled by Elon Musk's antics, how popular the Tesla brand has become or maybe they never liked the look and feel of Tesla to begin with.For those prospective EV buyers, it looks like BYD is set to be the next big thing in electric cars.Offered at a far more accessible price-point, the Chinese brand still stands out with its distinctively styled vehicles and innovative features.And the new car we’re looking at for this review, the Dolphin hatchback, could be the one to elevate the brand to the levels of popularity and recognition Tesla currently enjoys.At the time of writing, it was also the most affordable electric car you can buy in Australia. But is it more than that? Read on to find out.
