    Porsche Cayenne 2024 review
    8.5/10
    Porsche and family-friendly rarely go together. Anyone who has tried to squeeze into the back seats of a 911 will testify that Porsches traditionally have been focused solely on the driver.That changed with the Cayenne, the brand’s first SUV, which became an instant hit and helped secure the brand’s long-term future by massively expanding sales.After two decades on sale the Cayenne remains the brand’s most family orientated car but for 2024 the company has given this third-generation model a major overhaul, with a goal to put a bit more sportiness back into every model.
    Mercedes-Benz GLC300 Coupe 2024 review
    7.8/10
    Just seeing a coupe SUV in the traffic makes some people very cranky, but others love the sight of them and it’s these fans that Mercedes-Benz is hoping to woo with its new GLC300 Coupe.This new-generation GLC Coupe arrives six months after the regular SUV version of the GLC landed in Australia and goes head-to-head with the BMW X4 and Audi’s Q5 Sportback.The coupe style with the ‘cut-down’ roofline which slopes towards a low tailgate means practicality is compromised and if you’re thinking of putting one in your family’s driveway then it might be an idea to read how this writer’s family coped with the GLC300 Coupe for a few days.
    Hyundai Kona 2024 review: Hybrid
    7.8/10
    This is the car Hyundai (and I suspect many of you) has been waiting for.It’s the Kona, of course. But this is the hybrid version, which was delayed for a few months after the launch of the regular petrol-powered models earlier this year.And as you probably know, hybrids are pretty damn popular in Australia. And that makes Toyota pretty damn popular, with the Japanese giant accounting for somewhere north of 80 per cent of all hybrid sales in Australia.But with this new Kona, Hyundai now has an answer for models like the Toyota Corolla Cross or C-HR Hybrids.So, how does the Kona Hybrid stack up?
