Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV review
There's a new PHEV on the block that aims to build on its previous success. Is Mitsubishi on to a winner with the new Outlander PHEV?

Hyundai Palisade review
As an affordable luxury SUV with room for up to eight, the 2023 Palisade has hit the ball out of the park – no question.

Haval H6 GT review
GWM Haval has entered the SUV coupe chat. It's half the price of a BMW X4 and has little if any direct rivals. Is it any good though?

Audi S3 Sportback review
The new Audi S3 Sportback doesn't deviate far from the path laid down by its predecessor, for better and for worse.

Hyundai Ioniq 6 review: Prototype drive
Whichever way you cut it, the Hyundai Ioniq 6 looks and feels like an infinitely more resolved car than the Tesla Model 3.

Skoda Superb review
Does the likeable big Euro liftback still impress despite its creeping age, rising price and key spec omissions due to ongoing part shortages?

Toyota Fortuner GXL review
A seven-seat SUV based on the Toyota HiLux should be a knockout success, but the Fortuner has struggled to cut through in Australia. Why?

Hyundai Fastback N Limited Edition review
The final edition of the black sheep in Hyundai’s i30 N flock is such a charmer that we’re sad to see it go.

Mazda MX-5 Roadster review
The Mazda MX-5 formula hasn't changed much over its life, but the little roadster is more relevant than ever in 2022.

Lamborghini Huracan STO review
The best of the last naturally-aspirated Lamborghinis. The Huracan STO is a race car for the road that laughs in the face of noise and emissions laws.

Audi RS3 review
Audi's littlest RS model soldiers on with sonorous five-cylinder grunt and is as quick and engaging as ever. AMG A45 who?

Genesis GV80 review
The flagship family hauler from Korea's luxury challenger brand is dipped in excess – and it tastes very good indeed.

Lexus RX450h Sports Luxury review
An all-new RX is on the horizon, but the current-gen hybrid flagship still has a bit going for it. Should you buy now or wait for the new one?

Ford Ranger XLT V6 review
The XLT badge might be associated with workhorses, but its price and technology are in keeping with what you'd expect from rival flagships.

Kia Stonic GT-Line review
The turbocharged Stonic GT-Line continues to be a strong value option in the Light SUV segment, but the servicing costs might shock you.

Car Comparisons
100% impartial car comparisons from the CarExpert team
Ford Ranger V6
vs
4-cylinder: Dragparison
It's the question you've all been asking: Just how much quicker is the Ford Ranger V6 than the familiar bi-turbo four?
SUV sizes compared: Small/medium/large/XL, which is best?
Buying an SUV can be confusing! So we've tested a small, medium, large and larger SUV to figure out which size is best for you.
Isuzu MU-X
vs
Toyota Fortuner comparison
The Fortuner is a rare sales struggler from Toyota Australia. We've put it head-to-head with the Isuzu MU-X to find out why.
Ford Ranger
vs
Volkswagen Amarok design comparison
The new Volkswagen Amarok was developed alongside its Ford Ranger donor vehicle, but Volkswagen has made some efforts to differentiate.
Haval H6 Hybrid
vs
Toyota RAV4 Hybrid comparison
The RAV4 Hybrid has had few challengers, until now. Can China's Haval H6 Hybrid steal buyers from Australia's favourite SUV?
Subaru BRZ: Old
vs
new track comparison
Rally driver Chris Atkinson puts the old and new Subaru BRZ models through their paces on-track and compares the differences.
Subaru WRX
vs
Hyundai i30 Sedan N comparison
The Subaru WRX is a performance icon, with a storied history. The i30 Sedan N has no heritage, but plenty of potential.
Audi A3
vs
Mazda 3 comparison
It's Japan meets Europe in this latest mainstream v premium duel. The top-spec Mazda 3 Hatch takes on the base A3 Sportback, both with mild-hybrid tech.
Mazda CX-5
vs
Haval H6 comparison
We put the top-spec Mazda CX-5 to the test to see if it's a $15,000 better car than the top-spec Haval H6.
Kia EV6
vs
Polestar 2
The Tesla Model 3 is the best-selling electric car in Australia, but it's facing tougher-than-ever competition. Here, it takes on the Kia EV6 and Polestar 2.
Ford Puma
vs
Kia Stonic comparison
Ford and Kia's baby crossovers bring a sporty European flavour to the segment and are very similar on paper... But which is the better bet?
