Set to arrive in the first quarter of 2026, the Kodiaq Select PHEV will be the first Skoda PHEV sold in…

The Kia Tasman has had a tumultuous start in Australia. Kia’s first ute was supposed to be a game-changing moment for the South Korean auto brand, but the reception to its – frankly – polarising appearance has meant sales haven’t surged in the way that Kia was probably hoping. But that might be more of…

After an absence of around a decade, the Mercedes-Benz G-Class is set to go topless again. The German luxury automaker has released official “spy” photos of the born-again G-Class Cabriolet undergoing road tests in Austria, presumably not too far from the Magna Steyr facilities where it will be produced alongside its four-door hardtop sibling. …

The Audi Q5 is once again bringing Sportback. Horrendous music reference aside, the third-generation luxury SUV range ushers in the second-generation Q5 Sportback, following a successful first go at a mid-size SUV ‘coupe’.
