The middle child GXL is available from $54,950 for the 2WD and $58,950 for all-wheel drive.

The GXL has a sat nav, DAB digital radio, active cruise control, front and rear cameras, rear parking sensors, auto headlights, keyless entry and start, partial leather seats, and electric tailgate with separate glass hatch. The 6.1-inch screen from the GX is replaced with an 8.0-inch unit and picks up the sat nav.

On the five star ANCAP safety front, the GXL matches the GX's seven airbags, ABS, stability and traction controls, forward AEB, pre-collision warning and lane departure warning, those last three new additions. For the $1400 increase, the GXL also picks up reverse cross traffic alert and blind spot monitoring.

Peter grew up in a house in Western Sydney where automotive passion extended to white Sigmas and Magnas. At school he discovered "those" magazines that weren't to be found in the house. Magazines that offered him the chance to sit in the driver's seat of cars he’d never even heard of let alone seen. His path to rebellion was set - he would love cars, know cars and want to write about cars, much to his family’s disgust. They wanted him to be a teacher. He bought a series of terrible cars and lusted after Ford Escort Cosworths, the Alfa Romeo 164 Q and occasionally kicked himself for selling his 1977 Alfa GTV. From 1.0-litre three cylinders to roaring V12s, Peter has driven them all and can't wait to tell you all about it.
