SUV Reviews

The small electric SUV segment is ramping up. The Kia EV3 is making waves and so is the freshly launched MG S5 EV. But could this perky BYD Atto 2 be their biggest rival yet?

We give our final verdict on the impressive Toyota Corolla Cross hybrid GXL. Is it a solid, frugal family-friendly small SUV?

The BYD Sealion 7 and the Xpeng G6 are both alternatives to the Tesla Model Y with comparable specs but a slightly lower price.If you're a bit apprehensive about that particular brand, these two could end up on your shopping list so we're finding out if one, both, or neither are up to the task.

The CX-60 Azami is the flagship model in Mazda’s medium-to-large-sized five-seater SUV.

The 2025 Kia EV5 GT-Line has a lot going for it in the fully electric mid-size SUV segment, but it has one key flaw that some buyers might not be able to see past.

The CX-60 GT is the overtly sporty version of the Hiroshima brand’s big mid-sized SUV.

We drive GWM's insane $100K+ hybrid off-roader

The Inster Cross, which is $45,000, lists at the top of the Inster tree, above the entry-level model, which comes as a Standard Range for $39,000, or an Extended Range for $42,500.The Inster nabs 15- or 17-inch wheels, dual 10.25-inch screens (one for the infotainment, another for driving info, a six-speaker stereo, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, cloth seats, two V2L connectors (one inside the cabin, the other outside), a wireless charging pad and rain-sensing wipers. The equipment list for the Extended Range is the same, but it rides on 17-inch alloys.Stepping up the Inster Cross scores you a unique and off-road-inspired look, but also leather trim inside, a unique design for its 17-inch alloys, heating and ventilation for the front seats and heating for the steering wheel, some extra safety kit and practicality perks, and the option of a sunroof or an exterior roof storage box, the latter of which seriously eats into the driving range.Both the Extended Range and the Cross get a bigger 49kWh battery, increasing the range to 360kms. But, that roof box… It does look cool, but you’re going to really need to carry stuff to choose that option, given it increases energy consumption by 25 per cent, reducing the Cross’s range to just 293km. 

The small electric SUV segment is growing fast in Australia, and MG has just launched a model that could not only undercut more established rivals, but even beat them on the road.
