BMW has uncovered its second-generation 2 Series Active Tourer, revealing a larger and sleeker MPV that adopts BMW's controversial design language.The new Active Tourer retains the tall-boy hatch body style of the original, but the narrow grille is gone i

Little cars in a big city can all seem to camouflage into the landscape, but not the Citroen C3 - just don't choose the Pigeon Grey colour.

The Subaru Impreza 2020 range has been tweaked, and the hatchback variant is the biggest-seller. We've sampled the top of the range 2.0i-S model to see if it can compete with newer rivals like the Mazda 3 and Toyota Corolla.

Honda's mainstream Civic hatch has been refreshed for the 2020 model year. 

Cars have never been safer or as well-equipped s they are in 2020, but they are also getting more expensive.The entry-price point for many brands is on the increase, and in some cases, dramatically so.

Skoda’s incoming Scala small car brings distinguished looks and a high level of standard equipment, but does the European hatch offer enough to take on less-expensive segment leaders?

Electric cars have come a long way in the last six years, and that's how long BMW's i3 EV city car has been with us. Does the sporty i3s version retain the spark required to mix it with the latest and greatest?

The VW Polo and Audi A1 are twins under the skin, but the new-generation versions are more individual than ever before. We put the entry-level Audi A1 30 TFSI model up against the highest-spec 'regular' Polo (non-GTI), the VW Polo Style, to see which deserves your money more.

Audi has morphed its A1 Sportback mirco car into a pint-sized crossover dubbed citycarver, however the new pseudo-SUV is unlikely to make its way to Australian showrooms.

Renault Australia has discontinued the entry-level Life and Zen variants from its Megane small car range - a move that increases the price of entry to the Megane line-up by $10,500.But like Holden’s recent decision to cull the Astra range to just a hatchback body-style, Renault has also killed off the Megane sedan and wagon locally.This leaves just the Megane GT-Line, GT and RS (Renault Sport) variants left, though the Megane RS Trophy and RS Trophy-R are due to be added later in 2019. Megane sales have slowed to a trickle in 2019 with just 15 sold to the end of May, according to VFACTS. This pales in comparison with the Mazda3 (12,682 units), Toyota Corolla (11,882) and Hyundai i30 (11,033). Sales of the Megane Sport range are more positive, with 155 sold in the same time period, although Renault Australia’s sales are down 20.7 per cent year on year to 3054 units. While slow sales are likely the reason to the Megane range’s culling, Renault Australia is also preparing to introduce the Kadjar small SUV that will sit between the Captur and Koleos. Due in late 2019, the Kadjar is based on the same platform as the Nissan Qashqai and is likely to be priced from around $27,000.
