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

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?

Jeep Wrangler

How do you change the Jeep Wrangler, without changing anything, but making it better than before? Well, they've done it and we've tested the updated Jeep Wrangler at its Australian launch.

Here's an even more easy‑to‑live‑with version of the adorable Suzuki 4X4 that everyone wants, or is there more to the Jimny XL than just that?

The next‑generation Nissan Patrol, the Y63, is due in Australia before the end of 2025, but in the meantime Nissan has upgraded the current‑generation Patrol in an attempt to address criticisms of the multimedia system and old‑style interior.Otherwise there have been no performance upgrades, and so, this much‑loved 4WD wagon remains largely unchanged for now, which is exactly what some fans want.
