The Ford E-Transit electric commercial van has been recalled due to a fault which could see the vehicle’s parking brake fail, causing it to roll away. “Due to a manufacturing defect, the left-hand rear driveshaft may have been incorrectly installed.

Mazda is launching another electric vehicle (EV) in Australia this year, giving it a pair of models to take on the top-selling Tesla Model Y and Model 3… and like those, the new Mazdas are also built in China.

The new MG 7 could be the best looking car on the market for the money. This sleek liftback sedan offers a delightful design and gorgeous finishing, and it’s bound to make your neighbours think you’ve spent a lot more than the asking price. That’s because this gorgeous mid-size model starts at less than $50,000 drive-away, and MG has kept things simple by only offering one version at launch. Sadly, that also means there aren’t some of the options you might have been hoping for. But let’s go through the nitty-gritty, and see whether it’s worth your consideration or not.…

While the electric Hyundai range has a hatch, sedan, and too many SUVs to count, the new Staria Electric is the automaker’s first EV people mover. Based on the facelifted Staria unveiled in late 2025 that’s due in Australia some time this year, there’s little visual differentiation between the electric, and petrol, diesel and hybrid siblings. Only the most dedicated of car spotters will notice the Electric badge on the tailgate, and the off-centre charging port located just above the front number plate.

With little fanfare, the Nissan Z — known as the Fairlady Z in its homeland — has been revealed at the 2026 Tokyo Auto Salon. Externally, the major components of the facelift are the new front bumper, alloy wheels, and the Unryu Green hero paint option. The new bumper dispenses with the current car’s confronting slab-like rectangular grille opening in favour a wider design broken up by a body colour bar. The bumper itself is more sculpted and more cleanly continues the creases established by the bonnet. It’s not only a more cohesive design, but it decreases front lift by…

The axe has officially fallen on the Toyota Fortuner, with the HiLux ute-based seven-seat off-road SUV not expected to return to the Japanese automaker’s lineup. But with the heavily updated ‘new-generation’ HiLux launching recently, the idea of a Fortuner borrowing its best bits from Toyota’s newest ute is something buyers would more than likely be keen to see. In fact, despite the Fortuner being discontinued in 2025, sales of the large off-road SUV were up 12 per cent year-on-year. Along with fresh-looking front and rear ends, the latest HiLux benefits from suspension updates, new safety technology, and an all-new interior…

The Holden Commodore was the best-selling car in Australia from 1998 to 2010. Having passed that honour on to Mazda and then eventually Toyota and now Ford, the once-iconic Australian auto brand never recovered. Going back to 2015, Australia’s best-selling car was the Toyota Corolla with 42,073 deliveries, representing 3.64 per cent of the total market of 1,155,408 vehicles. From there, the baton was passed to the Toyota HiLux, which became the annual leader for seven consecutive years (2016-2022). Then the Ford Ranger took over as the nation’s best-seller in 2023, and continued to hold the top spot in 2024 and 2025. That ‘winner list’ is short, but the underlying sales volumes are not. The…
