2017 Mazda CX-5 Maxx Sport review (video)
With the arrival of the 2017 Mazda CX-5, rivals can’t seem to catch a break from the pummelling they already received from its predecessor. Even towards the end of its life, the outgoing CX-5 enjoyed market dominance for the last four years as Australia’s most popular SUV. The magic formula […]
2017 Toyota Kluger Grande AWD review (video)

It has a face only a mother could love. But once you get past that ghastly front grille you’ll quickly come to realise the 2017 Suzuki S-Cross Turbo is one of the least-flawed vehicles in the small SUV market segment. Suzuki Australia introduced a facelift for the S-Cross (also known […]
2017 Tesla Model X P90D review (video)
For about the price of a BMW M3 and a BMW X5 M50d combined, you could buy a Tesla Model X P90D. And that’s what you’re essentially getting with the Tesla. A fast sports car and a fast yet efficient and roomy SUV, in one. It might come as a […]
