The top-5 most-read car news stories of 2023

This year was big in Australia, with brand-new metal – all-electric, petrol, diesel or hybrid – finally appearing in the local market.

The highlights included the all-new Volkswagen Amarok, new electric cars – like the Hyundai Ioniq 6, Cupra Born, BYD Seal, Kia EV9, and three affordable sub-$40k hatches in the MG 4, BYD Dolphin and GWM Ora – and much-needed new ZR-V and CR-V SUVs for the struggling Honda brand.

Performance car fans were treated to the Toyota GR Corolla and Honda Civic Type R hot hatches, off-roaders had the Ineos Grenadier, GWM Tank 300 and a four-cylinder automatic LandCruiser 70 Series, and premium SUV buyers can now choose from a pair of Mazdas aimed at German rivals: the CX-60 and CX-90.
