2024 Audi Q3 Summary

The 2025 Audi Q3 Sportback is a small but not-too-small SUV that sits within a close-knit segment. The Q3 Sportback attempts to spice up the premium end of this small SUV market by offering a design-focused 'coupe' body style, but is it enough for it to go 'tyre to tyre' against its main rival, the new BMW X2?

It's other rivals are also renowned for their luxury and on-road prowess - think the Mercedes-Benz GLA and Lexus UX. However, the changes for the new Q3 are small and its rivals have all benefitted from a recent refresh.

In this review we explore how the top-model Sportback S line 40 TSFI quattro handles being an urban dweller.

2024 Honda CR-V Summary

In the distant future, automotive historians will look back at the Honda CR-V as one of the true SUV originals.

Sure, it and the conceptually-identical Subaru Forester, trailed the trendsetting Toyota RAV4 of 1994 by three years, but collectively all three Japanese brands broke and then reset the Australian family-car mould in lightning-quick time. Too much so for the floundering local car industry to ever catch up.

Today, they remain the blue-chip mid-sized SUV contenders.

Six generations in, how does the completely-redesigned CR-V in all-new e:HEV (petrol-electric hybrid) guise stack up? Let's find out!
