2025 JAC T9 UTE Summary

The JAC T9 is the latest value-packed Chinese ute to arrive in Australia, but this time with something of a difference.

That's because the JAC seems content to stay in its lane, with the T9 not promising to take down the Ranger Raptor, or go to work alongside a higher-grade HiLux. It says it is not trying to be the toughest or the towing-est ute in the country.

Instead, it’s aiming for the middle ground, doing just enough of everything, and doing it for less money than most of the competition, to keep most people happy. 

So, does it live up to that promise? Let’s find out.

2025 Volkswagen ID.5 Summary

At long last, Volkswagen’s electric mid-size SUV duo has landed in Australia.

The appeal of the ID.4 as an electric family SUV alternative to the likes of the Tiguan is obvious, but where does the more coupe-styled ID.5 fit?

It comes in a single GTX trim for now, taking aim at some of the more performance-oriented EV SUVs on the Australian market, of which there are now quite a few. But now it’s arriving later than many of its rivals.

Has VW done enough with the ID.5 GTX for it to justify a spot on your test-drive list? We went to its Australian launch to find out.
