Mitsubishi Australia is about to do something it hasn't done since 2012: put a full battery-electric car in showrooms. The new Foxtron-sourced EV has been specifically developed with Australia as the primary market, which is a rarity in this industry. Here's what buyers need to know before pricing opens in August.
Lexus has publicly acknowledged Denza and Zeekr as genuine competition for the first time, while pledging to double down on its ownership experience rather than engage in a price race. For Australian buyers shopping luxury SUVs and people movers, the competitive landscape has shifted significantly in the past 12 months.
The Mercedes-Benz CLA Shooting Brake wagon is coming to Australia in October to December 2026. It is the first Mercedes wagon sold here in five years, arrives with hybrid and fully electric options, and will be priced a few thousand dollars above the CLA sedan. Here is everything buyers need to know.
Ford says BYD's 5000-vehicle ship to Australia is overblown PR, pointing out it has been moving the same volume by sea for years. The facts are more nuanced than either brand wants to admit, and the NVES pressure underneath this story matters far more for buyers.
The Volkswagen Group is rolling out a proper full hybrid system, and the Skoda Octavia is next in line. For Australian buyers who have been weighing up the Toyota Camry hybrid, this changes the equation. Here is what you need to know before committing.
A new nationwide study from insurer ROLLiN' has ranked Australia's capital cities on EV-friendliness, scoring charging infrastructure, public charging costs, ownership rates and adoption growth. Canberra tops the list at 84.37 out of 100. Darwin sits at the bottom, with the highest public charging costs in the country.
MG has rolled out the 2026 S6 EV from $49,990 drive-away, claiming more range than a similarly-equipped Tesla Model Y RWD for thousands less. With dual-motor AWD also on the menu, it is now the lowest-priced mid-size electric SUV with a genuine 530km claimed range on the Australian market.
BYD has revealed its smallest plug-in hybrid yet, the Dolphin G, designed for European markets as a rival to the Toyota Yaris and MG 3. BYD Australia has confirmed the model is not part of its current local strategy, but the right-hand-drive UK availability means the door is not closed forever.
The updated MY26.50 Ford Ranger and Everest entry-level diesel loses 29kW and 95Nm against the engine it replaces. Ford insists the single-turbo 2.0-litre is more responsive, more refined and more efficient, while quietly walking away from the troubled wet-belt design. Here's what the change actually means for Australian buyers.
LDV Australia has recalled 8,643 examples of the 2019-2023 Deliver 9 over a low-pressure fuel delivery line defect that could allow fuel to leak and potentially cause a vehicle fire. The recall supersedes an earlier 11,962-vehicle action from November 2024. Affected owners should book a free inspection with their nearest authorised LDV dealer.
LDV has fast-tracked the eDeliver 5 to Australian showrooms with a $47,990 drive-away introductory price for ABN holders, more than $20,000 cheaper than the next electric van on sale. Three body styles, up to 335km of WLTP range and a five-year warranty give fleets and tradies a real reason to look past diesel.
Land Rover's CEO has confirmed a radical direction change for the next Discovery, with the model now Land Rover's worst seller in Australia. The reboot will need to fight the Toyota LandCruiser Prado and the incoming Chery-backed Freelander sub-brand.
