    GWM Ora 2024 review: GT
    6.9/10
    When the GWM Ora showed up in Australia last year, it seemed to rely somewhat on its divisive cutesy looks and sub-$40K entry price to draw attention - and to some extent it worked.Convincing Australians to buy an electric car is hard enough for any car company, let alone one that doesn’t have the brand cachet of Tesla or the traditional companies.But an entry price under $40,000 doesn’t apply here, this is the GWM Ora GT: the top of the range for the small electric car.[read-more-default-title]Australia's cheapest electric car! 2024 GWM Ora drive-away price slashed to undercut MG 4 and BYD Dolphin2024 GWM Cannon Alpha hybrid ute Australian release locked-in beating Toyota HiLux, Ford Ranger & BYD ute to the punch2024 GWM Haval Jolion facelift? Refreshed Toyota Corolla Cross, Mitsubishi ASX rival appears in government approval documentsIt’s just had a massive price cut, but is it worth paying more than $10,000 over the price of a base Ora for some extra goodies when simplicity and fun styling was the original selling point?

    Hyundai Kona 2024 review: Electric Premium Extended Range
    7.4/10
    With its EV-led design, the updated flagship Hyundai Kona Electric model, the Premium Extended Range, is a small SUV that's big on space and luxury features.Which feels increasingly necessary for EVs to compete in an ever-expanding market where change is celebrated and expectations remain high.Competition includes the newcomer Renault Megane E-Tech, the Kia Niro EV and even the Volvo C40. I've been driving the top model for a week to see how Hyundai's cutest EV fared with my little family of three.[read-more-default-title]2025 Hyundai Santa Fe XRT and more off-road focussed versions of Palisade and Tucson confirmed for Australia to take on Toyota LandCruiser, Subaru Forester and moreProblem?
