    Ford Ranger

    $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

    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.

    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.

    Mazda BT-50
    From

    From
    $35,520
    Mazda's BT‑50 ute competes in one of the Australian new car market's hottest segments against the all‑conquering Ford Ranger, evergreen Toyota HiLux, and many more. Can a new premium XTR LE grade zoom zoom a few more 4x4 ute buyers Mazda's way?
