Subaru’s latest Outback lineup features two turbocharged variants at the pointy end of the range, with this, the Sport XT acting as the adventurous, outdoorsy option. While not much has changed for the Subaru Outback range in recent years, the addition of a turbocharged engine will come as music to […]

2023 Honda Civic e:HEV LX review (video)
And here I was thinking Honda is starting to forget about its heritage and core values, and the the 2023 Civic e:HEV comes along. Sure, it is an ‘eco-focused’ vehicle featuring hybrid power, but it does boast a high-revving petrol engine and it handles like a dream. This could not […]
2023 Volvo C40 Recharge Twin review (video)
Welcome to the 2023 Volvo C40. This is Volvo’s fully electric coupe SUV alternative to its XC40 small SUV, bringing across all of the company’s usual suave and refined design qualities, wrapped up in a sportier package. Here we’re testing the twin motor version called, fittingly, the Twin, with an […]
2023 Toyota Corolla Cross Atmos Hybrid review (video)
It seems Toyota is on a mission to fill every niche in the Australian new car market, with the Corolla Cross designed to fit between the Yaris Cross and RAV4, and alongside the regular Corolla. This relative newcomer is designed to penetrate the small SUV segment, like the C-HR. Spun […]

2023 Cupra Formentor VZx review (video)

It is one of two high-performance little critters from the recently-introduced Cupra brand in Australia. The Formentor is based on the same MQB platform that […]
2023 Genesis GV60 Performance review (video)
First thing’s first, it’s an odd-looking one isn’t it? This is the Genesis GV60, otherwise known as the company’s first dedicated fully electric vehicle, based on Hyundai Motor Group’s E-GMP architecture like the Hyundai IONIQ 5 and 6, and Kia EV6. We think it does look better in person compared […]
2023 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV review (video)
Plug-in hybrid vehicles are on a steep upward trajectory here in Australia. VFACTS figures show sales have doubled from 2021 to 2022 alone. In early 2022, we saw the launch of the fourth-generation Mitsubishi Outlander. But it was launched without the PHEV offering that the previous generation Outlander boldly introduced. […]
