Is the base diesel worth the $5300 jump over the petrol equivalent?
Fancy yourself a car enthusiast? While being an enthusiastic car owner and a good driver are both part of your overall street cred, a lot of it comes down to being able to talk the torque. And where many of us can come undone when showing off our automotive prowess is butchering the pronunciation of brand or model names as badly as Kim from Kath & Kim used to pronounce 'chardonnay' (she said 'kar-don-aye', for the record)...

We all know your rationale when it comes to buying a medium-sized SUV with all-wheel drive. You want a vehicle with more room for the kid(s) – or kid(s) that are coming – but you also have in the back of your mind that one day you might need to go off-road. Anybody that's done any proper off-roading knows that the type of off-roading you think you're going to do, compared to the type you'll actually do, is very different...
Ten of the best and most popular mid-sized SUVs go head-to-head, but there can only be one winner.
Both the Skoda Karoq 110TSI and Hyundai Tucson Highlander are built around the same ‘utility vehicle’ philosophy, but despite differences in their makeup, they arrive at very similar conclusions.

UPDATE: Making what it can from lockdown conditions, Hyundai has had its design chief SangYup Lee present a walkaround tour of the Vision T concept that will inform the look of the new 2021 Hyundai Tucson. The new Tucson has been spied testing in recent months, and you can learn more here...

We were downsizing from a much-loved 100 Series Toyota LandCruiser. It used to tow our now long gone caravan, and we thought was going to be challenging finding a smaller SUV we were going to be happy with. When we first went looking for a new mid-sized SUV we visited all the dealers for the vehicles we were interested in - including the Toyota RAV4, Mazda CX-5, Honda CRV, Kia Sportage, Nissan X-Trail and the Hyundai Tucson - and obtained brochures with specifications...
I purchased a new Tucson in November 2015 as a novated leasing package through work. This worked out well for me due to my line of work and repayments.

In short, this is a fantastic car. We've only had it one week, but we absolutely love it. We did consider a Mazda CX-5 but it would have been over $8000 more than the Tucson while also lacking some of the features. And a small sunroof as opposed to the moonroof in the Tucson and no powered tailgate. The diesel engine is powerful and the styling and look of the car is great...
