Toyota LandCruiser 200 GX review
Toyota’s new Land Cruiser 200 Series variant is badged a GX, but the compliance plate tags it as a ‘Commercial’, the handbook a ‘Station Wagon’.
Kia Sorento review
Kia’s Sorento has morphed from a cheap little 4X4 into a refined and big-value SUV.
Toyota HiLux review
Toyota has tweaked its ever-popular Hilux but will the changes be sufficient to see off new challengers from Ford and Mazda?

Jeep’s new Grand Cherokee is almost too cheap to be true, but does it compare to the king of the class, Toyota’s Prado, and the budget Land Rover D4?

It’s this magazine’s reigning 4X4 of the Year, but how does Jeep’s latest Grand Cherokee stack up against the established family wagon favourite, Toyota’s Prado GXL?
Tvan Tanami camper trailer review
The Tvan Tanami proves to be one of the best-designed units and scores particularly well for ease of set-up and need for minimal site area.
Ford SZ Territory review
A turbo-diesel engine from Land Rover makes the Ford SZ Territory the perfect SUV.

Even with respected road-car credentials, it was seen as a bold move by VW to move into a market dominated by Japanese manufacturers.

Toyota LandCruiser 100 Series review
Michael Beaumont’s sensibly modified 100 Series is a great example of a sharply-built budget tourer.
Toyota FJ Cruiser review
Normally staid Toyota breaks with tradition and goes all, well, traditional with its FJ retrospective.
