SUVs are so popular it seems like you’re not doing family right unless you sell the old wagon/sedan and ‘upgrade’. Sure, some SUVs are bigger than sedans and some wagons, but then again, many SUVs are more like crossovers and make sacrifices compared to a nice big wagon.

Even though there are plenty of factory packages and options for the new Bronco, Ford decided to push the envelope a little further…

The Ranger has returned to the US market and Ford has created a one-off version with a bunch of factory accessory and aftermarket parts.

Mazda Australia has updated its CX-9 SUV for 2021, introducing three new models for its flagship family favourite.

Whether you call it a city SUV, a compact crossover or a jacked-up hatch, the only thing that matters to the bean counters is that cars on stilts sell.

Want to go bush but haven’t had much experience? Here’s the quick and dirty on what to do if (when) you encounter water.

Jeep loads up a Gladiator with Jeep Performance Parts, aftermarket products and custom touches to create the the Top Dog concept.

The car industry loves to brandish something as all-new. So trigger happy are some manufacturers that merely updating the styling or changing a few interior trims constitutes fanfare. However, not Hyundai. While the Santa Fe now rides on a new platform, one shared with the Kia Sorrento, gains a next generation engine and an overhauled cabin, the South Korean’s are resisting the urge to call it all-new.

Earthcruiser’s updated, Iveco Daily 4x4-based EXP camper has arrived and it’s got everything the serious off-road traveller needs.

People movers hardly move the needle when it comes to desire and cars like the Kia Carnival and Hyundai iMax are certainly proof of that. Yet they sell, so there’s is undoubtedly a market for big families that need an urban bus… but what about curb appeal?

Diesel is dying, electric will rule and heralding the way is Bollinger.

Restored under the ‘Reborn’ programme, this Series I Land Rover is as good as new – and it has an Australian connection.

Audi’s popular performance diesel SUV returns to Australian roads, but not for long.

Still an excellent option, Ford’s new Escape is a refreshing difference in a busy segment.

Twenty years ago, Holden showed just how far they could take their Jackaroo 4x4 with the wild ‘Jack8’ concept.

Mahindra might not yet be a household name in Australia but its no non-sense and down to earth approach is gathering momentum, including with local legends such as ex-Australian cricketer Matthew Hayden as a keen ambassador.

After more than a decade, Hummer is back. And while the name may be same, everything else is VERY different.

One of the great joys of being in this job is laughing at people who say they really want to buy an EV but just can’t justify spending eighty-odd grand on a Tesla. I always tell them that there are five EVs under sixty grand. Suddenly, it’s not just cost that’s the problem. All the excuses come tumbling out and they end up buying a car that isn’t even a mild hybrid let alone an EV. They just aren’t serious about buying an EV I tell myself.

Genesis means beginning and the while the car company with the same name has been on our roads for several years now, the launch of its latest model feels like a new beginning for the brand.

Blusteele’s 70 Series isn’t any ordinary LandCruiser wagon, it packs over 1000Nm underneath the bonnet and houses one of the best aftermarket clutch kits available for heavy-duty on and off-road performance.

Mazda’s BT-50 ute makes a fresh new start, sitting on an all-new platform that this time comes from a partnership with Isuzu, leaving behind its previous relationship.

It might be the base model in the new D-Max range but it offers much more than most budget utes.

Created 13 years ago, Ford’s Airstream Concept still looks futuristic today.

Is the new Mazda BT-50 the exact same as the Isuzu D-Max? No, so here’s the towing break down for it.
