2024 Mazda CX-5 G35 Akera review
The CX-5 remains an old faithful for Aussie buyers, and the G35 Akera is a punchy and luxurious flagship – if a little dated and thirsty now.

2024 Nissan X-Trail review
The petrol-powered X-Trail Ti offers a lot of metal for your money in Australia's most competitive segment, but e-Power is the way to go.
