SUV Reviews

The CX-60 Touring is another new version of the largish, medium-sized SUV from Japan.

The Elegance is the mid-grade in the third-generation Volkswagen Tiguan range.

With a slick, new (mild) hybrid powertrain and a seriously premium cabin, the Peugeot 3008 GT Premium Hybrid looks the part, but how well does it drive, and is it worth the price?

The Hyundai Inster Extended Range ($42,500) shares mostly the same equipment list with the cheaper Standard Range, but scores a slightly more powerful motor, along with bigger battery, unlocking a better driving range. Standard Range cars get a 42kWh lithium-ion battery, producing a driving range of 327km.The Extended Range gets a bigger 49kWh battery, increasing the range to 360kms. The front-mounted motor’s outputs have been ticked up slightly, too, now producing 84kW and 147Nm.The Inster Extended Range nabs 17-inch wheels, dual 10.25-inch screens (one for the multimedia, 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. 

For the third-generation Tiguan, the Life is the base variant, which ships exclusively with the base 110TSI engine.

The CX-60 Evolve is the mid-spec version of the longitudinal-engined, rear-drive-biased Mazda all-wheel-drive SUV, which is a bit larger than other most mainstream mid-sized SUVs.

Tesla may grab lots of headlines - for better or worse - but there is another electric car company on the rise. We headed to Los Angeles to drive the Rivian R1S, an all-electric premium SUV designed to take on the best from Audi, BMW and more.Is it the next big thing in electric vehicles? And would it suit Australia? We have the answers...

The Inster is a bold new play for Hyundai - an all-electric micro SUV that packs plenty of practicality into its bite-sized dimensions. And with it, the Korean brand wades into waters currently patrolled by plenty of cheap Chinese rivals. So, does the Inster have what it takes?

What sets Volkswagen's Tiguan apart from an increasingly crowded mid-size SUV crowd? In the mainstream factor, its German origins is a key factor, but there's a lot more to its story than just that. In fact, this next-generation model has plenty going for it, as we find out in this Australian first drive.

The CX-60 Pure is the entry-level version of the larger-than-normal mid-sized Mazda SUV. It is a new addition to a range that has been upgraded to be more comfortable and smoother to drive thanks to extensive suspension and transmission calibration work.
