GAC has revealed the Yue 7, a boxy hybrid 4WD with 400kW of combined power that is confirmed for Australia before the end of 2027. It takes direct aim at the Toyota Prado and Denza B5 in the increasingly competitive Chinese hybrid off-roader segment.
BMW's second-best-selling model in Australia is about to get a major overhaul. The 2027 X1 has been caught in camouflage wearing Neue Klasse styling borrowed from the brand's latest EVs, and the performance flagship looks sharper than anything the current generation offers.
The era of burying every car function inside a touchscreen appears to be ending. ANCAP's 2026 safety criteria now reward physical controls for indicators, wipers, hazard lights, and headlights, and car brands are responding. For Australian buyers, this is a meaningful practical improvement.
Australia's best-sellers always grab the headlines, but the real story of 2026 is in the second tier: the Toyota Camry defying the sedan death narrative, the BYD Seal nearly doubling year-on-year, and the GWM Tank 300 becoming a genuine large SUV force. Here's what their numbers mean for buyers.
Subaru has thrown performance enthusiasts three new breadcrumbs: a genuine performance hatch based on its Super Taikyu race car, a WRX with the legendary TY85 six-speed manual, and a sharper BRZ. All three land before 2027. Whether Australia gets any of them is the real question.
Ford has confirmed its Australian engineering team will continue to develop the next-generation Ranger and Everest locally, despite earlier warnings that NVES emissions regulations could force a rethink. The 1,500-strong local R&D team is already working on what comes next.
The Cadillac Lyriq is now $32,000 cheaper than when it launched in Australia last year. It's not alone. Across the luxury EV segment, prices are falling fast, and for buyers who've been sitting on the fence, the timing is getting interesting.
The third-generation Audi Q7 has been officially revealed, and the headline story isn't the exterior, it's the interior. Better materials, proper seat choices, and mild-hybrid diesel power are on the way to Australian driveways before the end of 2026.
Mitsubishi has signalled it wants to offer factory-backed GVM upgrades and heavier Triton variants, acknowledging it's currently losing money to aftermarket outfitters. With Ralliart and electrification in the mix, the next Triton generation could look very different.
GAC, the Chinese automaker now selling Aion-branded EVs in Australia, recorded its first financial loss since 2010. Its joint venture with Honda is under strain as BYD's price war erodes margins across the Chinese market. Here's what it means if you're buying or considering an Aion in Australia.
Honda's 2026 lineup is objectively competitive on specs, value and safety, yet annual sales sit around 15,000 while Toyota shifts 240,000. We asked Honda Australia's leadership directly about the gap, and their answers reveal both the problem and the path forward.
XPeng has opened a factory-backed dealer network in Australia, ending months of uncertainty following the collapse of its original distributor relationship. The updated 2027 G6 mid-size EV is the vehicle bringing it back. Here's what current owners and prospective buyers need to know.
