2026 Mahindra Xuv 3Xo Summary

Mahindra has long been known as a tractor brand and a maker of rugged utes and SUVs, but it’s now dipping its toe into Australia's light SUV segment.

The XUV 3XO marks a further shift in the Indian brand’s local focus from rural and regional to metropolitan.

This tiny SUV goes up against some stiff competition including the Chery Tiggo 4, Hyundai Venue and Kia Stonic, among others. However, the Indian-made SUV holds a specific title that’ll make it stand out among the crowd.

2024 Kia EV6 Summary

Going electric has never been cooler and Kia has beefed up the line-up of its mid-sized EV6 so buyers have the same number of options as its fiercest competitor - the Tesla Model Y.

On test this week is the Air, which is the entry-grade model but it still boasts the same battery size and excellent charging capacity as its more powerful siblings. All packaged into a more affordable price-point but with popular rivals like the Model Y and the Hyundai Ioniq 5 as running mates, how does it compare?

My family of three have been family-testing it to find out for you!
