Skoda's smallest electric SUV yet has finally broken cover. The 2027 Epiq promises European price parity with the petrol Kamiq but Australia is unlikely to get the same maths. Here's what's confirmed for local buyers and what we are watching.
Denza's B5 and B8 luxury 4WDs have just gained a hydraulic suspension that can lift a single wheel, let you drive on three wheels at low speed, and prepare the chassis for bumps before you hit them. We break down what it actually does.
Ram has just unveiled the 579kW Rumble Bee SRT, calling it the fastest production petrol ute ever made. The good news for Australia: Walkinshaw still does right-hand-drive conversions, and Ram Trucks Australia is openly evaluating it.
BYD is barely done launching its first PHEV sedan in Australia, the Seal 6, and a second one is already lining up. The Seal 7 has cleared local government approval and looks set to slot in above the Seal 6 with more space and more range.
Volkswagen is going on the front foot in the plug-in hybrid SUV fight. The new Tiguan and Tayron eHybrids land with drive-away pricing until June 30 that undercuts both the Toyota RAV4 PHEV and Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV. Here's what's actually on offer.
Australia's only carbon-fibre wheel maker has clawed back from voluntary administration with new US private ownership. Geelong production stays, but the long-term Australian footprint depends on what happens next.
Cupra's updated plug-in hybrid Leon hatch arrives in Australia in June 2026, priced from $62,990 before on-roads. The Ve almost doubles its WLTP electric range to 123km, trades some peak power for usable battery capacity, and gets new design and tech upgrades.
Honda Australia has confirmed new Civic Type R stock for the second half of 2026, with order books reopening to customers who missed earlier batches. NVES emissions pressure is making the hot hatch harder to justify, and prices are creeping up with every allocation.
Toyota Australia has revealed a factory-fitted GVM upgrade for the 2026 HiLux range, priced at $4000. The option lifts payload by up to 435kg to a maximum 1525kg, and it is built into the truck in Thailand rather than retrofitted at the dealer.
Mercedes has revealed the first electric AMG built on a dedicated EV platform. The GT63 delivers 860kW, 2000Nm, 696km of WLTP range, and a 2.1-second 0-100km/h time. Local arrival is confirmed but timing and pricing are still under wraps.
Toyota Australia has confirmed a light running update for the rally-bred GR Yaris arriving in June 2026. Buyers get a redesigned motorsport-style steering wheel, retuned electric power steering, and Bridgestone Potenza tyres on the flagship GTS. Pricing holds at $55,490 before on-roads.
Volkswagen has revealed the 2027 ID. Polo GTI, the first GTI ever to drop combustion power. The electric hot hatch produces 166kW from a front-mounted motor, claims 6.8 seconds to 100km/h, and offers 424km of WLTP range. Australian arrival is under evaluation but not yet locked in.
