Electric Reviews

Audi's latest Sportback SUV has arrived and it's a swoopy take on the Q6 e-tron. Will it be enough to take on the new BMW iX3 and Mercedes-Benz GLC electric?

If you instantly associate electric vehicles with an inflated price tag it's time to think again. The compact BYD Atto 2 SUV has taken the crown of Australia's most affordable new EV and we've had a revealing first drive.

The Ford Mustang Mach-E GT is the high-performance flagship model in the American EV range, offering startling thrust and grip befitting that title.

The second-generation Porsche Macan might be the German sports car specialist’s most controversial model yet due to its fully electric line-up. But does the so-called Macan Electric deserve to be more popular?

The Ford Mustang Mach-E Premium is the mid-range version of the Mexican-made, American electric vehicle, and is based on the GE1 architecture that is loosely derived from the Ford Escape mid-sized SUV no-longer available in Australia.

The Ford Mustang Mach-E Select from America (via Mexico) is the base version of Ford’s first electric vehicle (EV) in Australia. Prices start from $65,990 before on-road costs.

Two months in, has the fancy veneer worn off the Geely EX5?

Finally, a new HiLux! A vehicle Toyota has been plotting and planning for a decade. And I know what you must be thinking: what the hell were they doing with the other nine-and-a-half years?

The Ford Transit Custom Trail is priced at $61,990, putting it below the electrified Transit Customs but above most of the diesel-powered range. In target-market terms it’s also somewhere between the two camps, and broadens the Transit Custom’s appeal by offering a blank canvas for a camper or mobile-home conversion.To achieve that, it uses the long-wheelbase Transit Custom platform and teams that with the conventional turbo-diesel, front-wheel-drive layout. The major difference is that the Trail rides about 30mm higher on revised springs and All-Terrain tyres, features underbody protection and, crucially, offers all-wheel drive for more go-anywhere ability.The cabin reverts to a two-seat layout (rather than the optional three-position bench) and the vehicle’s delivery van’s roots mean it’s practical and logical with lots of storage areas, charge points and easy access.The rear section is the real opportunity for personalisation, and its pretty easy to see how the large, long space could be turned into rolling accommodation. The only real limits are the owner’s imagination and the sub-2.1 metre overall height that keeps the Transit Custom underground car-park-friendly.Six airbags including front, side and side curtain are standard and the Transit Custom Trail also boasts the latest driver aids including auto emergency braking (AEB), lane-keeping assistance, rear cross-traffic alert, a 180-degree rear camera system and on-board tyre pressure monitoring.Servicing is every 12 months or 30,000km and the Transit Custom is covered by Ford’s five-year/unlimited kilometre warranty as well as eight years/150,000 on the PHEV battery. Capped-price servicing is also offered.

One of America's top-selling EVs struggles in Australia, but the 2026 Ford Mustang Mach-E facelift ushers in welcome changes, including improved suspension, more range and better value. Plus, as the badge so controversially suggests, the Mustang connection also means greater driving enjoyment, something that many electric SUVs fail to deliver. If that's your focus, it offers more than expected.
