Bentley has released the 2021 Bentayga Speed, which remains one of the world's fastest SUVs. The facelifted vehicle is powered by the existing 6.0-litre twin-turbo W12 engine producing 467kW and 900Nm, however, according to Bentley, new cylinder-deactivation technology provides “significant economy gains under part-throttle cruising conditions.”

Ford Australia has given its Ranger line-up a price increase – joining other brands in recent currency-driven changes – while adding new variants and new options to the range. Almost every variant has risen in cost by $400 since May, with the exception being the flagship Ford Ranger Raptor, which has increased by $700. Ford has also bolstered the line-up, with the introduction of XL Special Edition and XLT Fully Loaded variants.

Details of the 2021 Skoda Kamiq have been announced for Australia, with deliveries to begin from September 2020. Pricing for the small SUV begins at $26,990 plus on-road costs, with the range-topping Limited Edition variant costing $35,490 plus on-road costs.

The 2021 Isuzu D-Max will have the most advanced safety of any ute in Australia when it goes on sale in September, however we won’t know if it has earned a five-star crash score until a full round of testing is completed in the coming weeks. Significantly, every model grade in the 2021 Isuzu D-Max line-up – from the base model cab-chassis with a dropside tray, to the new flagship X-Terrain – will come with advanced safety features, giving buyers in all price ranges access to the latest tech.

The 4J diesel engine family has been the bedrock of Isuzu’s light trucks and utes for many years, and we are now seeing the opening of a new chapter in Australia. The 2021 Isuzu D-Max will get an all-new 3.0-litre turbo diesel engine under the bonnet, replacing the long-serving and much-loved 4JJ1.
