They're just twins with slightly different levels of luxury right? Not entirely. Here's where they diverge.

There's very little wrong with the new LandCruiser. Toyota's attention to detail is exemplary – but it's also considerably more expensive.

With seven seats and hybrid power, Lexus’s likeable RX L is really starting to show its advancing age despite evolutionary fettling.

No longer is it just a rugged seven-seater family SUV that can go virtually anywhere. The new Isuzu MU-X now does it with the latest safety and infotainment technology while also upgrading its creature comforts and cabin luxuries to a new level.

The Touareg R is VW's flagship of flagships, and it could be headed to Oz in the coming 18 months. Is this performance PHEV any good?

The new Isuzu MU-X is a big improvement, but can a top-of-the-range LS-T variant compete with a Toyota Prado VX in more ways than price?

The second-generation Isuzu MU-X is more capable and contemporary, and stacks up despite price increases.

Blacked out and brimming with technology, the Touareg 210TDI Wolfsburg Edition is a worthy Volkswagen flagship.

The 7 Series of SUVs proves to be a plush, spacious and capable luxury bus that more than caters for large families and the like.

The turbo-diesel xDrive30d might just be the sweet spot of the BMW X5 range, offering all the performance you need and decent fuel economy, too.

If you want a Hyundai Palisade, you might as well do things properly. The best Palisade is the range-topper, the Highlander Diesel AWD.

These family 4x4s are the same size and offer many of the same qualities. One strikes me as a more refined and comfy choice, while the other remains the better bet for proper remote touring and towing.

Outback is back, all new and yet oh-so familiar. We take the Sport for a spin to see whether the mid-ranger hits the sweet spot of the range.

While the Toyota LandCruiser may be the default option for some, there's a cheaper and punchier vehicle available that's often overlooked.

Hyundai's flagship SUV in Australia has a distinctly American flavour. With eight seats and acres of space, fares well against established rivals.

Big families who want a plush SUV are spoiled for choice, but few are plusher than the Mazda CX-9 Azami LE and Hyundai Palisade Highlander.
