Toyota has told investors it will pass rising build costs on to buyers, and the RAV4, HiLux and bZ4X are first in line. Here is what the increases look like, why the wait list works in Toyota's favour, and how to avoid paying the full jump.
Toyota has told its own investors that price revisions are coming, and the RAV4 has already climbed thousands of dollars. Here is what that means for Australian buyers, and how to lock in today's pricing before the next round of rises lands.
Australia's best-selling SUV just got dearer. The all-new 2026 Toyota RAV4 opens higher and climbs past $66,000 at the top. Here is what it really costs, why Toyota lifted the price, and how to stop a hot-selling car costing you more than it should.
Australia just had its strongest July ever, with 108,577 new vehicles delivered. The Toyota RAV4 and HiLux led the pack, electric cars topped one in five sales, and Chinese brands kept climbing. Here is what the record month actually means for your next purchase and where the real buying leverage sits.
GWM has given the Tank 300 a longer body, a punchier plug-in hybrid and a bigger screen overseas. The catch for Australia? The headline new diesel is going to the Tank 500, not the 300. Here is what that means before you sign.
Peugeot is cutting drive-away prices by as much as $27,000 across vans, hybrids and EVs while its distributor winds down. The savings are real, but so is the risk of buying into a brand whose local future is still unsettled. Here is how to play it.
Nissan has finally cut the price of getting into an X-Trail hybrid, adding three front-drive e-Power grades and a chunky new Rock Creek. Here is what actually changed, what it costs, and where the value really sits.
The next-generation Kia Sportage has been caught testing, and it lands in Australia in 2027 with hybrid power, a bigger screen and no more diesel or petrol-only engines. That timing changes the maths if you are shopping the current model right now.
Mazda has reworked pricing across its entire large SUV range, and most of it just got cheaper. Diesel and plug-in hybrid buyers are the big winners, but the sticker price is only half the story at the dealer.
Nissan has issued an urgent recall on 13,795 X-Trail e-Power SUVs over a battery software fault that can cut power while driving. The Qashqai e-Power is caught up too. Here is what owners should do, and how to make sure a dealer does not use it to upsell you.
Chery's first ute lands late 2026 with a drivetrain no rival sells: a diesel plug-in hybrid making 350kW and 800Nm. It tows 3500kg, carries a tonne and goes properly off-road. Here is what it means for buyers, and where dealers will try to play games.
Land Rover has updated the Defender for 2027 with a new Vertex trim, a six-seat 110 and a longer options list. It also quietly pushed the base price past $102,800 before on-roads. Here is what actually changed, and what it means before you sign.
