We take you behind the scenes of Wheels Car of the Year, the world's longest running and most coveted automotive award. Meet the panel that decides which is the best new car to arrive in 2018 and how they find a winner.

Then we’re outback in a new ute from Mercedes-Benz to see if it can handle the toughest country on Earth. Matt finds out if the X-Class is a genuine off-roader that can take hard yakka or a ute more at home on the road?

Next, Alex meets a big new SUV wearing Holden badges but finds it is shamelessly American, before throwing it against its main rivals from Mazda and Toyota. It's a claws-out Acadia, CX-9 and Kluger three-way battle to close the week.
