Why is BMW XM so expensive?

MG already confirmed it’s working on a ute, but before that arrives the company will unleash a wave of new models in 2025. 

Mazda will replace its best-selling CX-5 mid-size SUV, but it won’t happen overnight.

Jeep announced plans at the Los Angles motor show last week to add a brand-new hybrid model to its lineup for 2025.

Everyone has an idea of what LandCruiser means to them, but it’s a nameplate that’s gone through monumental changes since its introduction. 

You could look at the CX-80 Pure as evidence that the brand’s new 'Mazda Premium' strategy - and the prices associated with it - is still finding its feet in Australia. 

The Toyota LandCruiser FJ will be priced at the equivalent of $35,000 in key international markets, suggesting the long-awaited mini Prado or Fortuner could be the brand's ultimate off-road bargain in Australia.

GWM is having a near range-wide sale with between $1000 and $6000 cut from drive-away prices until the end of the year. Additionally, the majority of discounted cars sold between now and November 8 get their three first scheduled services thrown in for free, valued between $297-$1870. The only exceptions are the Jolion Premium and Lux grades.Anyone who purchases GWM’s only battery electric car, the Ora, also gets a free charging station installation thrown in, valued at $1690. What’s the reason? Well, like BYD, MG and others with big offers on the table, it's partially about sales bragging rights but mostly clearing excess stock. GWM is on track for a record-breaking sales year in 2024, up 21.8 per cent having delivered 35,143 new cars. In October, it was in 10th spot, just shy of Nissan (37,710) and with a few strong months to round the year out, it could climb into ninth place.The new Cannon Alpha now starts at $49,990 drive-away with a $2000 discount on both the 135kW/480Nm diesel and unique 255kW/546Nm plugless hybrid version. Its smaller Cannon ute sibling with its smaller 120kW 2.0-litre turbo-diesel can be had from as little as $35,490 drive-away, a $3500 discount, while the blacked-out Vanta black-pack is $5000 more affordable at $42,490. The related Tank 300 Jeep Wrangler-rivalling off-roader now wades in at $45,990 ($2000 off) while the hybrid versions get $5000 knocked off the sticker, as low as $50,990 for the Lux. The only model to miss a straight discount is the Tank 500, though it still gets $1870 worth of scheduled servicing thrown in. GWM’s Haval SUV range includes a Kia Seltos challenger, the Jolion, which can be had for up to $3000 less in petrol guise, handily undercutting a Mitsubishi ASX at $23,990 drive-away.The larger H6 is also on offer with up to $3500 off the hybrid version, meaning the rival to Toyota’s in-demand RAV4 can be as low as $38,990 on-the-road. A petrol version can be had for $30,990 drive-away. Finally, the Ora electric car nearly makes its way as low as the MG4, with $2000 knocked off the Standard Range guise making it $33,990. The Extended Range gets a tantalising $6000 lopped from the price at $34,990 — plus a free home charging station.

The Azami is the flagship offering in what Mazda calls it flagship five-seat SUV, the CX-70, and you can have it with one of two big and powerful engines.

Geely is gearing up to launch its first electric car in Australia.
