9.1/10
Hatchback
From
$49,900
One of the world's most exciting hot‑hatches, the Honda Civic Type R has long existed in its own, thrilling orbit. Now, the 2023 (FLS) redesign broadens its horizons with far‑more down‑to‑earth styling, a huge cabin‑quality uplift and sustained efficiency improvements, dramatically boosting the Japanese firecracker's appeal. But what about its value, given that the price has rocketed up so much?
02.
Kia Sportage
SUV
From
$46,450
9.0/10
SUV
From
$46,450
Kia's previous‑generation Sportage was a bit of an also‑ran. Is the new one good enough to compete with the likes of the Toyota RAV4 and Mazda CX‑5?
03.
Nissan Qashqai
SUV
From
$45,640
8.5/10
SUV
From
$45,640
Hugely successful and wildly influential, the British‑built Nissan Qashqai has set the pace in small SUVs globally since 2007, but is more of a niche player in Australia. This may change with the third‑gen model's MY25 facelift, bringing fresh styling, cabin updates and more e‑Power hybrid variants, as well as an industry‑leading warranty. The improvements elevate an already premium proposition.

SUV
From
$42,490
The GWM Haval H6 has always been a solid budget buy, but this latest update sees it duke it out with segment stalwarts like the Toyota RAV4, Kia Sportage and Hyundai Tucson.

Lexus might not be the obvious brand to launch a potent hot hatch/SUV, but that's precisely what it's done with the LBX Morizo RR.
