HORSES FOR COURSES

At the start of 2025, Toyota Australia sales and marketing bossman Sean Hanley stated that Australia was set to reach “peak ute sales” on the back of yet another year of the Toyota HiLux and Ford Ranger dominating new-car sales in this country. It looks like business as usual heading into the end of 2025, with the two popular utes again topping the sales charts – and that trend is set to continue into the new year, with the new HiLux coming on line and Ford introducing fresh Ranger variants.

4X4 AUSTRALIA 4X4 UTE OF THE YEAR 2025

We round up a dirty dozen midsize 4x4 utes to find the best of them

3 mins

Ford Ranger Sport V6

As the only V6-powered ute in this year's test, the Ranger had a clear head start on the competition from the outset. The only other V6 diesel in this segment is the closely related Volkswagen Amarok - but VW didn't respond to our request to supply a vehicle for testing.

2 mins

Toyota Hilux SR5 Premium

There's a good reason the Ford Ranger and Toyota HiLux consistently top Australia's sales charts - they're the best-built and best-equipped utes in their class by a fair margin, even if the competition is slowly closing the gap.

1 mins

Kia Tasman X-Pro

Making a stunning debut in our Ute Of The Year testing was Kia’s all-new Tasman. This is Kia’s first attempt at building a midsize 4x4 ute in the style so popular in Australia, and for a first effort, the Tasman is an impressive result.

2 mins

Nissan Navara PRO-4x Warrior

The Navara PRO-4X Warrior was a surprise package in this year’s test — although, in truth, it shouldn’t have been. Previous testing of the now ageing and soon-to-be-superseded Nissan has shown it to be an excellent all-rounder and one you can confidently take straight from the showroom to the trails.

1 mins

Ford Ranger Sport Phev

We had three plugin hybrid (PHEV) utes in this year's test - the first time we've ever included any in a 4x4 Ute Of The Year lineup. Each impressed us with its own unique strengths, but one stood out clearly from the pack: the Ford Ranger Sport PHEV.

2 mins

GWM Cannon Alpha Ultra PHEV

It was interesting to see that the GWM Cannon PHEV landed right behind the Ford Ranger PHEV in the overall scoring. In fact, it was a close pick between the two hybrids, and it only came down to the Ranger's simplicity and solid build to split them.

2 mins

Mitsubishi Triton GSR

The Mitsubishi Triton is one of the stalwarts of the midsize 4x4 ute segment, and the current generation is still one of the newer models on the market as it approaches two years since its launch.

2 mins

KGM Musso Ultimate

There's been a name change from SsangYong to KGM, but really there hasn't been any other major change to the venerable Musso, which has long been one of our value-for-money favourites.

1 mins

Isuzu D-Max X-Terrain

The Isuzu D-MAX is fast becoming one of the older utes in the category, but that brings benefits - it remains a relatively simple vehicle.

2 mins

BYD Shark 6

The BYD Shark bit into the Australian ute market like its namesake tears into a school of baitfish. It entered aggressively with sharp driveaway pricing, a high level of specification, and the claim of being the first 4x4 PHEV ute on sale in Australia.

2 mins

Mazda BT-50 GT

The Mazda BT-50 is essentially an Isuzu D-Max wearing a sharp suit. The two share the same Isuzu engine, driveline, platform and systems, but differ in exterior and interior styling, along with some subtle changes to suspension tuning.

4X4 UTE OF THE YEAR 2025

When you look at the custom 4x4s we feature in 4X4 Australia magazine, there's one brand name that appears in nearly every custom build: REDARC – the go-to choice for auxiliary power systems in just about any 4x4.

RANGER TOPS OCTOBER 2025 4X4 SALES AS NEW HILUX LOOMS

The Ford Ranger once again maintained its grip on the Australian 4x4 market in October, selling 4195 units and holding the top spot for the month... but is that about to be flipped on its head with the launch of the new Toyota HiLux?
