Off road

One of Australia’s most popular utes, and in fact one of its most popular vehicles, the Isuzu D-Max, has been given an adventure-focused makeover… just not here.

Upstart off-road brand Ineos has detailed a new-model offensive that will see it launch a smaller SUV and its take on a one-tonne ute that will sit below the Grenadier and Quartermaster, seemingly slotting into segments dominated by the Toyota LandCruiser

Dual-cab ute accessories are big business in Australia with a majority of 4x4 ute owners looking to customise their ‘rig’ in some way and, while a number of manufacturers continue to add variants within their model families that bring a custom appearance, there’s still a significant audience that would prefer to start with a blank canvas and do the job themselves.

Ineos has made a bold promise about its incoming Grenadier Quartermaster ute, with the new brand saying its double cab is better than the Toyota LandCruiser 70 Series when it comes to off-road capability.It's a big claim, and one that Ineos makes while ac

There's no denying that Australians are in a seemingly never-ending love affair with the ute - just a glance at the top-10 best-selling models here and you will see no less than four different pick-ups.In 2022 we saw the launch of the new-geneation Ford Ranger, while the Toyota HiLux was also updated, but that doesn't mean there aren't more exciting utes on the way for 2023.From big units like the Ford F-150 to Volkswagen's take on the Ford Ranger formula, here are the utes to look foward to in 2023.

Hyundai is aiming its next-generation 2024 Santa Fe at the adventure-ready buyer thanks to a rugged, boxy new look and a more capacious interior.

While it’s been rumoured that Ford intends to ‘Raptor-ify’ as many of its models as it can, its first electric car wasn’t quite the target many had in mind.

Fearsome competition in today's dual-cab market has transformed what used to be one of the most fundamentally compromised product offerings in Australia, into a range of machines that are well-rounded and significantly less agricultural.

One of Australia's favourite big things just got a little more expensive - not the Big Banana - with the price of the Nissan Patrol large SUV being nudged up towards the $100,000 mark.
