BMW Australia has bolstered the 6 Series Gran Turismo range with a new 620d GT variant, priced from $99,900 before on-road costs. Powered by a 2.0-litre turbo-diesel making 140kW of power and 400Nm of torque, the 620d GT claims a 0-100km/h sprint time of 7.9 seconds, while using a claimed 5.4L/100km on the combined cycle. Drive is sent to the rear wheels through an eight-speed automatic transmission.

Jaguar has filed a trademark application for the C-Pace name with the European Union Intellectual Property Office, suggesting another British SUV could be on the way.

Infiniti is yet to make a real splash in Australia, despite six years of trying, but the Nissan offshoot isn't in a screaming hurry to chase big sales numbers. Instead, the brand will continue with the slow-and-steady approach. Speaking with CarAdvice at the opening of the world's first joint Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance distribution warehouse in Truganina, Infiniti Australia managing director, Guy Street, said "steady growth and progression" is the name of the game locally.

When it launched the Cullinan in May, the Rolls-Royce team boldly pitched it as the only purpose-built luxury SUV in the world.

Speaking with CarAdvice at a local preview of the Cullinan in Melbourne, Ian Grant, Rolls-Royce client sales manager for Asia Pacific, said the car is attracting plenty of new business.

The company's European arm has confirmed the fourth-generation Toyota Supra will make its debut in prototype form at the 2018 Goodwood Festival of Speed. Unfortunately the vehicle will be clad in the black, red and white camouflage seen here, and in an earlier teaser.
