As an avid performance car fan, I can’t help but tip my hat to Hyundai and what it has achieved with its N performance sub-brand. Note: This is a revised version of our recent review of the Hyundai i30 N, as there have been no major changes to the model since it was published. We have…

The design of the fifth-generationHyundai Santa Fe might be polarising and it’s certainly distinctive, but it’s not the reason we named it Australia’s best affordable large SUV in the inaugural 2025 CarExpert Choice Awards.

When it came time to name our best affordable small car in the 2025 CarExpert Choice Awards, there was really only one option. The new Kia K4 is a compelling small sedan, and the Mazda 3 sedan and hatch continue to attract large numbers of Australians for good reason, which is why we named both…

It’s been just one year since the new Mini Countryman Electric landed in Australia, but plenty has changed in that short timeframe.

Subaru’s North American arm has officially unveiled the brand’s third electric vehicle (EV), which takes the form of a small SUV with a name borrowed from a popular video game series.
