In part one of our long-term Genesis G70 3.3T review, our editor Brett Davis went over the performance and handling aspects of the car. Having spent a week testing the G70 Sport with the 2.0T engine, I was very keen to feel the difference with the 272kW V6. As expected, […]

In case you felt you didn’t have enough choice when it comes to choosing a mid-sized SUV, there is another model that has just placed its best foot forward. The French-built Citroen C5 Aircross is the name. It continues the nameplate after the C5 sedan was recently retired. Citroen claims […]
2019 BMW X2 M35i review (video)
The M Performance sub-brand is rapidly expanding, spreading to more and more model lines within the BMW showroom. This is one of the latest, called the X2 M35i. It’s a small soft-roader, which could either water the badge down or strengthen it if it’s done right. Sitting at the top […]

2020 Hyundai Tucson Highlander 1.6T review (video)
The top-selling Hyundai Tucson keeps sales strong with a mid-2019 update for MY2020. We decided that the perfect way to test the flagship Highlander variant would be to take it on an adventure to the high lands of the NSW Kosciusko National Park. Buyers can choose from the entry level […]

2019 Genesis G70 2.0T Sport review (video)

After a 12-month delay, Genesis finally opened its first Australian showroom in June this year, in Pitt Street, Sydney. Showrooms […]
