2025 Toyota Prado Summary

This is one of the most important models to come from Toyota in ages. You guessed it. It's the new LandCruiser Prado.

Why is it important? The Prado is now in its fifth generation and aside from some minor facelifts, it hasn't seen a proper update since 2009!

Toyota loves the 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it' design ethos, and it usually works as their SUVs remain some of the most popular in Australia. But after 15 years, we deserved a new one and we're testing the base GX grade to find out if it's been worth the wait.

2022 Audi SQ5 Summary

The Audi Q5 now has a sportier-looking sibling, with the German brand's all-time best-selling SUV welcoming a sleeker, more aggressive solution it calls its Sportback range.

And look, spoiler alert, it looks better than the regular Q5. It's as simple as that. So if that's all you're here to find out, feel free to close the laptop, put the phone away, and move on with your day.

But you'd be doing yourself a disservice, because there are more questions to be answered here. Like will you paying in on-board comfort for this new raked roofline? Do the Sportback's sporty intentions make for a more annoying daily drive? And how much does Audi want you to pay for one?

All these questions and more answered. So stay with me.
