4 X 4 Australia Editor

E Dewar 220817 Matt Raudonikis Portrait 8381

Matt is a 30-year veteran of the auto industry spending the last seven as 4x4 Australia editor. As a result, he has been pigeonholed in to the 4x4/off-road arena but he’s into anything with an internal combustion engine and wheels, or no wheels. He has been writing about cars since 1990 and video reviewing them for seven years.
