    Best Utes according to our experts

    01.
    Nissan Navara
    From
    $33,550
    7.2/10
    From
    $33,550
    Nissan Australia and Aussie vehicle‑engineering company, Premcar, have combined forces to produce a gung‑ho Navara ute via their on‑going Warrior collaboration.It looks the goods and certainly packs a punch, conversion wise, on paper at least.But how well will this upgraded and re‑engineered 4WD handle wild weather, flooded rivers and a pair of argumentative teenaged passengers?

    Ford Ranger

    7.6/10
    From
    $36,880
    There are plenty of variations of Australia's best‑selling ute, the Ford Ranger, from which to choose. And where once the XLT represented an appealing balance of price and features, has the new mid‑spec Ranger, the Sport, taken its place? Then the next question potential buyers have to ask themselves is: should I opt for the 2.0‑litre bi‑turbo diesel engine or the more expensive 3.0‑litre V6?

    Toyota HiLux
    From
    $26,475
    7.5/10
    From
    $26,475
    The 2024 Toyota HiLux represents a small step in an EV‑lite direction. Some new variants have 'V‑Active Technology', a combination of a motor generator, 48‑volt battery and DC/DC converter aimed at improving performance and fuel efficiency, compared to the standard HiLux's 2.8‑litre turbo‑diesel engine. It's not a hybrid HiLux, but it's the closest thing you'll get until that arrives in 2025.

    Volkswagen Amarok
    From
    $50,990
    7.3/10
    From
    $50,990
    The Volkswagen Amarok has been around since 2011 and it has garnered a stack of awards, a legion of fans and long ago set the standard for refinement in utes. Times changed, though, and the rest of the ute pack eventually caught up or even surpassed it. But the new Amarok is here and it shares the Ford Ranger's platform and many of that ute's components. Is it better than the top‑selling Ranger?

    Isuzu D-Max
    From
    $32,200
    7.5/10
    From
    $32,200
    The Isuzu D‑Max is the only diesel ute that's been able to stay within touching distance of the Toyota HiLux and Ford Ranger, and the brand hopes this updated model will close the gap even further.But have they done enough to keep the D‑Max fresh? We put it to the test to find out.
