2022 Honda HR-V Summary

Honda Australia has gone through a bit of a transformation in recent years, shedding its top-10 sales ambitions for a new approach that focuses on slimming down the range with high-spec grades.

The first new-gen model to launch with that approach was last year’s Civic, but it’s the latest launch, the HR-V, which might make or break Honda’s new strategy.

And that’s because the HR-V is a small SUV – playing a space dominated by Toyota, Mazda and Kia – that also offers up a so-hot-right-now hybrid powertrain for the first time in Australia.

No doubt, the HR-V will prove more popular than the Civic in sales as the market shifts preferences, but is it any good?

This is all you need to know about the 2022 Honda HR-V.

2024 Mini Countryman Summary

A new JCW (John Cooper Works) Mini variant usually attracts a bit of attention. And there’s a fair bit to talk about with this latest example. 

The third-generation Countryman is the largest model yet to carry the Mini name - it’s not far off the size of a Volvo XC40 now - so the question is, has Mini maintained its go-kart feel and darty dynamics with a vehicle that’s now firmly in small family SUV territory?

We travelled to Portugal to drive the new Countryman in SE electric and petrol-powered JCW guise. Despite the very different vibes, there’s some interesting parallels to their respective performance.
