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?
02.
Mitsubishi Triton
From
$30,740
8.6/10
From
$30,740
The Mitsubishi Triton has been relaunched and features a bunch of upgrades and design changes. How does the flagship GSR variant fair over a week of family‑testing?
03.
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.

Foton Tunland
From
$34,990
7.4/10
From
$34,990
Foton is planning a bright light‑commercial future in Australia, with the 2018 Tunland dual cab leading the charge. Here's why you shouldn't write it off as another cheap Chinese ute.
05.
Mahindra Pik-Up
From
$26,990
7.0/10
From
$26,990
Mahindra's evergreen Pik‑Up dual cab ute is a tough, budget‑friendly workhorse, particularly popular in rural areas. And now for the first time since its arrival back in 2007 it's available with an auto transmission. Is it a better bet than a Ford Ranger or Toyota HiLux?
