Discover the winner of 4x4 Australia's 4x4 of the Year 2013 as we count down from sixth to first place.

Toyota LandCruiser 79 Series review

Australia is the first country in the world to take delivery of Toyota’s much-anticipated LandCruiser 79 Double Cab* - and 4X4 Australia magazine has had an exclusive First Drive in it. (*That’s a dual-cab to the rest of us.)

Toyota FJ40 comparison review

Toyota’s take on its FJ40 swept all before it in 4X4 of the Year, but how does the FJ Cruiser rate against a couple of real icons?

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’.

Toyota 86 drive

An all-too-brief drive in the new Toyota 86 today at Fuji speedway revealed a sweet-handling, beautifully balanced little front-engined, rear drive coupe which will no doubt be a huge success for Toyota.

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?

Prado vs Disco 4 vs Grand Cherokee comparison review

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?

Toyota Kluger review

Toyota’s Kluger is a great family wagon for those forays that don’t stray too far from the bitumen, but it misses out on diesel power.

Jeep Grand Cherokee vs Toyota Prado vs Land Rover Discovery 4 review

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?

Jeep Wrangler Rubicon vs Land Rover Defender 90 vs Toyota FJ Cruiser review

The first four-wheel drive scrap began 70 years ago. Those miscreants are still on the prowl and they still wanna start something.

4X4 Australia: Best in class

2011’s Best in class 4x4s as judged by 4X4 Autralia

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.

Toyota Hybrid Camry

Oz-built eco-warrior ready to charge large-car rivals

LandCruiser 200 VX vs Discovery 3 HSE review

Allan Whiting takes two turbo-diesel giants - the Lancruiser 200 VX and Discovery 3 HSE - into tough bush terrain for an off-road slug-fest.

LAUNCHED: Mini Cooper D

Outstanding efficiency in cute-as-a-button packaging.

Positive spin - Toyota Prius

Geeks and greenies will love it unconditionally, but can Prius III also woo drivers?

LAUNCHED: Nissan Maxima

New model worthy of more than just a blip on buyers' radar.

Ssangyong Actyon

Cheap, but with the dynamics of a truck.

Mazda CX-9 short stay - April 2009

Space, the final frontier.

City Of Lights - Ford Fiesta LX vs Honda Jazz VTi vs Mazda 2 Neo vs Toyota Yaris YRS

We've established that Ford's globe-trotting Fiesta is a small car with sizeable talent. Time now to see how brightly it shines when facing its natural nemeses.

Second sight - Honda Insight

Gen-two of Honda's hybrid won't lure buyers with its driving dynamics, but a $30K price tag and low running costs might have the pull to convert Prius zealots.

Petrol versus diesel

Petrol or diesel? In the 4X4 arena, it's the campfire fight starter, but now more relevant than ever as fuel prices soar.
