4x4 Shed: 2017 Nissan Patrol Ti-L part 2

Y62 proves its worth as a comfortable and capable long-distance cruiser – on and off the beaten track.

2018 MG ZS review

Chinese-owned British brand MG has launched what it calls a premium SUV in Australia, for not much money

2017 Jeep Wrangler Range Review

The Wrangler can trace a lineage back to the brilliantly effective original Jeep that saw service in World War II. It is comfortably the most off-road capable vehicle Jeep makes.

2018 Mitsubishi Pajero Range Review

On-road handling and stability are strong points for the Mitsubishi Pajero compared with other dual-range 4WD wagons, and yet it is still good off road. All Pajeros seat seven.

2018 Skoda Octavia and Octavia RS Range Review

The mid-size Skoda Octavia has a regal look, and keen, frugal engines. All Octavias have auto-braking. The Octavia RS is like a VW Golf GTI in sensible clothes.

More hatchback than high-rider, the X2 is an X1 with flair

Clever driver-assist technology comes to the Nissan Patrol including a rear-vision mirror that can see through rear-seat passengers

2018 Volvo XC60 T6 quick review

The punchiest purely petrol-powered XC60 appears a tempting proposition but is it as good as it looks on paper?

The BMW X3 is a sporty medium SUV with enthusiastic but frugal engines, a slick eight-speed automatic gearbox, enjoyable all-wheel drive handling, and a big five-seat cabin.

2018 Jeep Compass Trailhawk first drive review

We head to some tracks just out of Hobart to see if the 'Trail-rated' Compass Trailhawk is bush-capable.

2018 BMW X2 review

Does BMW's new X2 have the substance behind the style to match the success of its larger siblings?

2018 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross review

A design-driven compact SUV that’s slightly larger than some segment rivals, and likely to tempt a chunk of Mitsubishi’s showroom traffic away from the ageing (but still strong-selling) ASX.
