Feels like the new‑generation Ford Ranger ute has picked up all the headlines, but its five‑seat Everest SUV sibling is making a big impact with family buyers. We spent a week with the Trend Bi‑Turbo to see how it measures up.

9.0/10
From

The Mazda CX‑8 has long lived in its CX‑9 big‑sister's vast shadow, but some smart additions have turned the Japanese seven‑seater SUV's fortunes around. Case in point: the Touring SP. It combines low pricing, generous equipment, ample space and proven engineering with newfound sporty styling and keen driver appeal. The result is an appealing family car that ought to be on most buyers' shortlist.

If you happen to be Australia, then this is the biggest new car launch of 2024. It's the Toyota LandCruiser Prado 250 Series and it has seriously big shoes to fill. Capable off‑road, comfortable on‑road and able to lug a 3500kg load while keeping a family friendly price tag. How does it stack up? Jump in to find out.
