2024 GWM Haval H6 Summary

This week I'm road-testing the new GWM Haval H6 Ultra Hybrid, which is the flagship model, and it offers the convenience of a hybrid engine and the space of much larger SUVs, despite only being mid-sized.

But that's not what should worry rivals like the ever-popular Toyota RAV4 hybrid, Nissan X-Trail e-Power and Kia Sportage - it's its price tag.

This Chinese competitor is shaking things up and in this review I'll unpack if it's as good in real life as it is on paper.

2025 Mahindra XUV700 Summary

I know you’re hearing a lot about the new Chinese brands coming to Australia, but why isn’t anyone talking about India?

I mean sure, Mahindra isn’t new to the country, but you can’t deny it has undergone a pretty serious glow-up, with the brand determined to become a fully fledged player in our new-car scene.

Leading the charge is the XUV700, with this new feature-packed Black Edition taking the fight to Chinese brands like Chery.

It has sharp styling, seven seats, plenty of tech and safety and a price tag of less than $44K, drive-away.

So, does it deserve a place on your consideration list?
