8.4/10
From
$37,990
The Toyota RAV4 has proven to be the best horse in the Toyota stable and a sixth‑generation model is poised for release next year. But do we need it when the current offering is so good?
02.

7.0/10
From
$33,989
The Sportage is Kia's best‑selling model in Australia, where it battles heavyweights like the Mazda CX‑5 and Toyota RAV4 Hybrid in our biggest and most hotly contested segment. In other words, this mid‑life update is crucial. So Kia has added more hybrid options, a new look, and new tech and safety in an effort to win over buyers. But is that enough? We put it to the test to find out.

Mazda CX-5

7.6/10
From

The new Mazda CX‑5 Akera is well equipped but it's rivals are, too. How does it stay competitive?
04.

The XC60 proves that comfort and safety still appear to be at the top of the priority list for Volvo but style is being retuned to make this medium‑sized SUV a true competitor against its luxury rivals, the BMW X3, Audi Q5 and Lexus NX. The question is, has it been successful?

7.5/10
From
$34,999
Subaru's family SUV has been given the STI treatment... mildly. Has this near‑$50K Forester earned it?
