2026 Lexus UX Summary

Replacing the long-standing UX250h, the more powerful Lexus UX300h hybrid sits at the luxury end of the compact SUV segment, and the latest update brings a refined line-up along with tweaks to both design and technology. In this review, I’m looking at the base Luxury grade to see what it's like to live with this hybrid day-today and how it stacks up against its nearest rivals.

2026 Ineos Grenadier Summary

The Ineos Grenadier Quartermaster is the dual-cab ute version of the Ineos Grenadier wagon, which arrived a few years ago to much fanfare.

It’s a body-on-frame / ladder-frame 4WD with live axles, a dual-range transfer case, front, centre and rear diff locks, and plenty of features – onboard and optional – intended to turn you into an off-road expert.

The Quartermaster is a purpose-built work-and-play ute aimed at taking on the likes of the Toyota LandCruiser 70 Series and it’s a real breath of fresh air in a dual-cab ute market that’s increasingly looking same-same – although admittedly the Kia Tasman has also rattled the cage, but that’s another story.

So how does this Land Rover Defender-inspired ute perform off-road?
