The halo Touaregs have always been subtle, impressive beasts but here's why this latest one might appeal to the most specific market niche of all of them.

The Ford Everest is the Blue Oval's most popular SUV and for 2025 the range has been expanded. The new Everest Tremor has arrived to take on the latest Toyota Prado in what should be an epic battle of family‑friendly off‑roaders.We hit the bush in the Everest Tremor to find out if it's tough enough to worry Toyota.

Toyota Prado
From
$80,350
7.4/10
From

The 2025 Toyota LandCruiser Prado (aka the 250 Series) is big news: it's larger than previous versions of the Prado and it is now able to tow the industry standard 3500kg rather than the 3000kg the previous generation is limited to.It also looks a lot different to the softer style of Prados past. But does being bolder and bigger make it better?

Mazda CX-8

Mazda has a tendency to have a lot of similar looking horses in the stables; blink and you'll miss the (very) subtle differences between the CX‑8 and the CX‑9 but if you're not super keen on the bulk of the CX‑9 and you've outgrown the space of the CX‑5... this one's for you.

Hyundai Santa Fe

8.5/10
From
$48,990
A front‑wheel‑drive petrol option has been added to the new Santa Fe range, but will it satisfy fans who miss the old V6 engine, and does it fall short against its hybrid siblings?
