Reviews

2021 Kia Sorento GT-Line review - 8.4
The Kia Sorento is the newly crowned 2021 Drive Car of the Year. James takes a spin to see what all the fuss is about.

2021 Volkswagen Touareg 210TDI R-Line review - 8.4
Our Drive Car of the Year Best Large Luxury SUV winner has plenty of spec and a 600Nm diesel V6 under the bonnet; so, is the VW Touareg 210TDI R-Line the pick of the range?
Sam Purcell


2021 Toyota HiAce LWB review - 8.2
Some key competitors have come in for a refresh since the Toyota HiAce launched. Does Toyota’s stalwart work van still stack up?
Kez Casey


2021 Toyota RAV4 GXL Hybrid review - 8.6
Last year's Drive Car of the Year winner continues to lead the medium-SUV segment. It's the most popular SUV in the country, so what makes the RAV4 Hybrid so good?
Sam Purcell


2021 Isuzu D-Max X-Terrain 4X4 review - 8.4
From our very first test drive, we felt that the 2021 Isuzu D-Max X-Terrain had the chops to head straight to the top of the dual-cab class.
Trent Nikolic


2021 Skoda Kamiq 85TSI review - 8.5
The Skoda Kamiq stands tall in a crowded small-SUV segment.
Rob Margeit


2021 Porsche 911 Turbo S review - 9.2
Some may argue that in winning the 2021 Drive Car of the Year Best Sports Car over $100K, the Porsche 911 Turbo S is the best car on sale today, period. Kez finds that they aren't far off...
Kez Casey


2021 Volvo XC40 Recharge review - 8.3
For years, fashion and style have been synonymous with luxury, and our winner of the 2021 Drive Car of the Year Best Small Luxury SUV is no exception. James goes Scandi with the Volvo XC40 Recharge.
James Ward


2021 Kia Carnival Si review - 8.5
We know the new Kia Carnival is good enough to take out the Best People Mover category in Drive Car of the Year judging for 2021, and for the moment it is quite simply Carnival first and daylight second when it comes to dedicated people movers. It really is that good.
Trent Nikolic

2021 Ford Puma ST-Line V review - 8.3
From its launch, the 2021 Ford Puma ST-Line V injected a sense of style and sportiness into a segment that is frequently described as a little bland. Here we take a look at the range-topping Puma, our choice as the DCOTY Best Compact SUV for 2021.
Trent Nikolic


2021 Volvo XC60 T6 R-Design review - 8.4
In a segment where players stand out for technology, dynamics or technical ability, the Drive Car of the Year judges went back to basics and looked for a car that best answered the brief of simply offering practical luxury.
The Volvo XC60 does just that.
James Ward


2021 Audi RS Q8 review - 8.9
The Audi RS Q8’s blend of practicality and performance saw it crowned the best Sports Performance SUV in the 2021 Drive Car of the Year awards.
Rob Margeit


2021 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon review - 7.6
Utes are big in Australia, and few come bigger than the Jeep Gladiator that first launched in May 2020. But what’s it like to live with? We put the Gladiator Rubicon through a seven-day test filled with mundane chores like commuting, shopping, garden renovations and family life to find out.
Glenn Butler


2021 Toyota Camry SL Hybrid review - 8.6
As the rest of its competition fades away in favour of SUVs and dual-cab utes, the Toyota Camry soldiers on as one of the few torchbearers of the diminishing passenger car segment – is the SUV-loving market missing something?
Tom Fraser


2021 Land Rover Defender P400 SE review - 8.4
After winning the 2021 Drive Off-Road SUV of the Year, the new Land Rover Defender has proven its mettle as an off-road vehicle.
Sam Purcell


2021 BMW 218i Gran Coupe review - 7.9
BMW’s bringing prestige to the entry level with its 218i Gran Coupe, but is there substance to this style-oriented range-opener?
Tom Fraser


2021 Hyundai Venue Active review - 7.5
Babies are booming right now as Australians emerge from COVID’s unwanted embrace. Baby SUVs are particularly popular, as the category’s 132 per cent sales increase year on year shows, and perhaps driven by all that money we couldn’t spend on overseas holidays in 2020.
Glenn Butler


2021 Ford Ranger Wildtrak X bi-turbo review - 8.4
Ford’s best-selling Ranger is soon to be superseded by a next generation, but let’s see how the current Aussie favourite shapes up in Wildtrak X flavour.
Tom Fraser


2021 Honda Odyssey Vi LX7 review - 7.6
If your kids want to be Jedi knights then the Honda Odyssey is the car for you. Use the Force and make a swiping gesture with you hand along the sliding doors, and… hey presto, they will open magically. How cool is that?
Glenn Butler


2021 BMW M2 CS manual review - 8.6
Either you’re the kind of person who thinks $37,000 is a fair tariff to pay to get from A to B a few seconds faster, or you’re not. If you are, then the BMW M2 CS high-performance coupe is the car for you.
Glenn Butler


2021 Mitsubishi Triton GSR 4X4 review - 7.7
While the Toyota HiLux and Ford Ranger trade blows for first place on the Australian sales charts, the Mitsubishi Triton flies under the radar as a quiet achiever.
Tom Fraser


2021 Toyota Camry Ascent Hybrid review - 8.4
Refreshed and updated for 2021, the entry-level Toyota Camry Ascent hybrid is all the car most people will ever need.
Rob Margeit


2021 Kia Stonic S review - 7.7
There’s plenty to like about the smallest and most affordable Kia SUV in Australia, but it also has some shortcomings, as Glenn Butler finds out.
