BMW M3 TOURING - Party up front; family stuff at the back. The practical bit is well taken care of, but at its heart, this thing is still a beast.

FERRARI PUROSANGUE - A former boss at Maranello once said the company would never build an SUV. We’re glad for the change of heart.

CAR OF THE YEAR GROUPS 1 - 5 - This year, we’ve split our field into SUVs, EVs, dual-cabs, sports cars, and small cars. But ‘best in segment’ is no guarantee of becoming a finalist.

MODERN CLASSIC
The fourth-gen Toyota Supra was one of the best performance cars never offered in Australia. So what happened?

FORD F-150’S LOCAL DEVELOPMENT
Shifting the steering column over to the right is just the start of it. Ford’s big 4x4 ute is copping a You Yangs torture test.

NISSAN X-TRAIL
The atmo powertrain may carry over, but elsewhere there’s plenty to elevate this generation over its medium-SUV rivals.

TOYOTA COROLLA CROSS v RIVALS
Frugal hybrid newcomer takes on Kia Niro S, Mazda CX-30 and Honda HR-V e:HEV L. If you need a compact SUV with a small thirst, you’ll find it here.

VOLVO AUSTRALIA’S EV BLUEPRINT
Volvo’s local boss seems very confident about how our automotive tech will look in the future. His surname is Connor? All makes sense now.

MASERATI MC20 CIELO
What’s better than a mid-engined Italian supercar? One with a glass folding roof to allow you to wave to your adoring fans.

FORD MUSTANG MACH E
This Mustang is unlikely to be the star of a car chase in the Bullitt reprise, but it’s actually a very persuasive EV..

THE WRAP
How to beat toilet queues, how Apple could build an electric dual-cab ute, the EV battery that charges faster than you can fill your tank.

FORD F-150 LIGHTNING
Blue Oval’s electrified 4x4 ute brings torque and tech, yet doesn’t kill the weekend (we told you, ScoMo).

FORD RANGER RAPTOR v REEFTON SPUR
The shift to V6 turbo petrol power has transformed the character of Ford’s 4x4 beast, so time to get dirty and let it eat..

TOYOTA GR COROLLA - Everything great about the GR Yaris, but more liveable and with more power. What’s not to like?

BMW X1 - Now in its third generation, what was once a small SUV that was hard to love has become one that’s hard to ignore.

TOYOTA TUNDRA FOR OZ - Oversize pick-up is about to be over
here as Toyota preps to take on RAM 1500 and Chevrolet Silverado.

MODERN CLASSIC: LAMBORGHINI GALLARDO - The baby bull that would become the beast that kept the cash flowing through Sant’Agata.

MERCEDES-AMG EQE 53
If you ever wanted to know what a nextgen Mercedes-AMG E-Class without pistons would be like, mosey straight in here. Alex Inwood is your guide.

FORD RANGER RAPTOR
We all secretly wanted ridiculous power in the old Raptor but were too polite to ask. Ford has saved us from ourselves.

LEXUS LX v TOYOTA LANDCRUISER
When Japan decides that extreme overengineering merely represents a good start, accept nothing less..

MODERN CLASSIC: VW SCIROCCO
How this curvaceous curve ball managed to land in Oz cheaper and better equipped than a Golf R.

TESLA MODEL Y v KIA EV6 AIR
The most-hyped EV of 2022 gets thrown in the deep end against the cheaper sibling of our reigning COTY.

HONDA HRV v TOYOTA RAV 4
If you want bowser-dodging hybrid frugality without the charging cable, you’ve come to the right place..

GENESIS GV60
Korean premium brand gets its shot with the Hyundai/Kia e-GMP platform, and delivers a properly polished EV.

THE LEGENDS OF M
You want M Division icons? Try these seven and mount a case against them.

XM DRIVEN
PHEV SUV is M’s first full in-house development since the M1, and probably the most divisive BMW ever..

First verdict on Italian SUV gunning for Q3, X1

MASERATI GRECALE DRIVEN
We give Italy’s 390kW Macan mauler the full tomatoes

DRIVEN: ALFA ROMEO TONALE
Small SUV carrying big expectations has plenty of chic showroom appeal, but does it have the on-road brio?

CAR OF THE YEAR 2022 - A tweak to the rules saw only one variant selected from the range of each eligible model, meaning it was very much a case of put your best foot forward.

COTY ROUND ONE - This year, 21 models entered the proving ground in an attempt to survive the punishment and become part of the heroic half-dozen.

LUCID AIR
Start-up rival for Tesla’s Model S delivers huge performance and long range, but can it succeed without an Elon factor?

MODERN CLASSIC: LEXUS LS400
Toyota’s plan was beyond audacious: build the world’s best full-size sedan to topple Merc’s dominant S-Class.

FERRARI 296 GTB DRIVEN
It’s the first V6 Ferrari since the Dino, but hybrid tech means a stampede of prancing horses to kick down the door..

THE LONG WAIT
For new-car buyers, COVID-19 is the gift that keeps giving, with deliveries of some models delayed by up to nine months.

CADILLAC CT5-V BLACKWING
Not headed here, but when you learn this super sedan has nearly 500kW and 900Nm, you’ll probably wish it was. 

PROFILE: TREVOR WORTHINGTON
Meet the Aussie whose influence is all over the Blue Oval’s global line-up..
