The Ford Ranger Super Duty ute lineup is here, with multiple body styles and a big step up in capacity and capability for the best ute in the segment. It comes at a cost, however, with some extreme price tags that might put potential buyers off – but for those who need huge towing capacity and massive payload usability, it could be worth every cent. Read on to find out more about what it’s like to live with the Ranger Super Duty Double Cab Chassis in this real-world review. How much does the Ford Ranger Super Duty cost? You could…

The facelifted Volkswagen ID. 4 will not only feature a significantly redesigned exterior, but a new name as well. According to Automotive News, the heavily revised ID. 4 will be sold as the ID. Tiguan. The name change has been heavily hinted at and speculated about, but the industry publication says it was confirmed by IG Metall, the union representing the automaker’s German factory workers, at a press conference held last week at Volkswagen’s Emden plant. The Emden factory has been converted to EV-only production, and is currently one of two sites — along with Zwickau — in Germany manufacturing…

The race car in which Australia’s most recent Formula 1 world champion and Australian Hall of Famer Alan Jones made his 100th world championship start will be a star attraction at the 2026 Canberra Festival of Speed next weekend. The 1985 Lola-Hart THL1 will be one of the major drawcards at this year’s event, alongside the Holden Commodore in which Larry Perkins won the 1997 Bathurst 1000. The two iconic racers will be among more than 200 entries at this year’s Canberra Festival of Speed, now in its third year, which will take place at Thoroughbred Park on the weekend…

Taste is subjective, and that goes for car design, too. And isn’t that a good thing? Otherwise, we’d all be driving generic-looking, virtually indistinguishable SUVs and utes. Okay, so a lot of Australians are. Nevertheless, in our diverse market, if you look beyond the ubiquitous and often conservative mid-size SUVs and utes, you’ll find everything from fashionable French cars and futuristic Chinese electric vehicles (EVs) to flashy American pickups and SUVs, and seemingly everything in between. Those of us in the CarExpert editorial team have decided to share the vehicles we find the most attractive. Yes, we’re just judging a…

We’re a long way from the days of the Button plan and rampant model rebadging, but there are still some vehicles in Australia that appear to differ only in the logo on their grilles. Sure, the recently launched LDV Terron 9 and the even more recently launched MG U9look almost identical inside and out, but this isn’t just a redux of the old Ford Falcon and Nissan Ute twins as there are some key differences between these two Chinese-made dual-cab 4×4 utes beyond their badges. Launched last year, they’ve entered a hotly competitive segment that contains three of the top…

The Bugatti Veyron FKP Hommage is the second car from the company’s Solitare bespoke commission division, and is named after Ferdinand Karl Piëch, the former CEO of the Volkswagen Group, and the driving force behind the original Veyron project. While the Veyron FKP Hommage looks as though it uses the same body as the hypercar produced between 2005 and 2015, the FKP actually uses “the highest evolution” of the W16 platform, which means it is actually a Chiron that’s been extensively restyled to resemble the Veyron. According to Bugatti, the FKP’s exterior is a “subtle yet significant evolution” of the…

The theme of the past 12 months has been the never-ending onslaught of new electric vehicles (EVs) in Australia, but Polestar is confident it can cement a place in the local market despite its niche status. Polestar – owned by China’s Geely and therefore a sister brand to Volvo, Zeekr, and Lotus – has struggled to penetrate global markets since its 2017 launch. It’s by no means the only brand to have adopted an EV-only strategy globally, but it’s consistently and comprehensively outpaced by brands like Tesla, while also grappling with the rapid growth of China’s EV industry as a…
