Volvo XC40 Recharge Pure Electric
Published: 18 February 2022
This is Volvo's first electric SUV. It's quick, powerful, luxurious and very well thought out. I wasn't expecting a lot when reviewing this electric car. However, after this review, I think this might be one of the best EVs on sale under $100,000 here in Australia.
Hyundai IONIQ 5 AWD
Published: 11 February 2022
This is it. Finally, in 2022 we have more competition than ever against the extremely popular Tesla Model 3. This is the Hyundai IONIQ 5 and it's potentially the best option below $100,000 here in Aus if you want a fast, comfortable and state-of-the-art EV. Take a tour of its features and see if its worth buying instead of opting for the car with a letter T on the bonnet.
Jaguar XE R-Dynamic Black P300 AWD
Published: 1 February 2022
You need to sign another 5 year lease for a luxury sedan for work. You've already tried the likes of the Mercedes C Class, BMW 3 Series and Audi A4. Now, Jaguar is launched the most convincing case to drive something a little more exciting. It's the better looking, more powerful and still very luxurious sedan from the iconic British brand. It now comes with a 5 year warranty and a capped price service plan. Find out in this review if this is worth buying in 2022.
Land Rover Discovery S D300
Published: 19 January 2022
The new Land Rover Discovery is more luxurious and more powerful than ever. However, there's another big, luxurious and powerful Land Rover called the Defender that's out on sale too. So, where does that put this 7-seater SUV in this crowded line-up? Is it worth buying over the cheaper Discovery Sport and instead of the larger and more rugged Defender? Find out in this review
Subaru Outback Touring
Published: 10 January 2022
Overlanding has exploded in popularity over the past two years. The Subaru Outback has been the car of choice for many as an option to head into the wilderness in comfort. We got our hands on the updated Outback, and wanted to see what's changed and to see just how capable it is on the rough stuff.
Kia Seltos GT-Line
Published: 20 December 2021
It's bigger than the Stonic and smaller than the new Sportage. The Kia Seltos AWD is the 'just right' flavour of small SUV offered from Kia. It's AWD, it's turbocharged and it's spacious. Is it a winning formula or are you better off grabbing the keys to something else?
Kia Sorento PHEV Review
Published: 09 December 2021
There's a new top-of-the-range model available in the Sorento line-up for 2022. It's the plug-in hybrid version of this popular 7-seater SUV. It's not a conventional hybrid like the Toyota Kluger Hybrid, but it's able to run purely off electric power for just over 60km of range. It's cheaper than a Volvo XC90 PHEV, but, is it worth going for the EV version of the Sorento?
Isuzu MU-X LS-T Review
Published: 03 December 2021
I really wasn't much of a fan of the last-gen MU-X being sold in 2021. It was very long in the tooth, and was in desperate need of an update. The 2022 Isuzu MU-X has coming in swinging against the current crop of competition. It's got the safety features, the comfort appointments, the styling and of course its renowned 4x4 capability. Just how good is it? Find out in this review.
Hyundai Staria
Published: 22 November 2021
The 8-seater van market is ageing quick. There hasn't been a new release from the usual suspects for far too long. That's where the Hyundai STARIA comes in. It's everything you'd hope for in a people mover being sold today. Check out all its features, technology and see what makes this one of the best MPVs on sale today.
Genesis GV70
Published: 19 November 2021
Motortrend labelled the Genesis GV70 as SUV of the year. I certainly was blown away by the build quality, performance and refinement this luxury SUV offered. It's Genesis' best bet at winning over more buyers, but can this feature-packed mid-size SUV impress me more than its European rivals?
Hyundai i30N Manual
Published: 12 November 2021
It's the review I've been looking forward to since I started reviewing cars here at ProductReview.com.au. The i30N is back and it's better than ever. It's a hot hatch that'll conquer the track, make ridiculous sounds and it's an ideal grocery-getter. The big question is, should you buy it over cars like the Toyota GR Yaris, Golf GTi, Golf R or even a Ford Focus ST?
Hyundai Tucson
Published: 09 November 2021
The original Hyundai Tucson was a little on the conservative side for its past couple of generations. Now, Hyundai have thrown the feature book at its latest Tucson. Has this update given the Tucson its mojo to make it the better pick than the Toyota RAV4 or Mazda CX-5? Find out in this review.
Genesis G70 Sport
Published: 05 November 2021
The Genesis G70 Sport packs an almighty performance car punch. It has a 3.3L twin-turbocharged V6, it's rear wheel drive and has plenty of creature comfort features. Against the cheaper Kia Stinger GT and the slightly more expensive BMW 340i XDrive, can it come out on top?
Genesis G80
Published: 01 November 2021
The first generation G80 was pretty impressive. But now, Genesis are getting series with the new G80. It's sexy, it's powerful and it's chock-FULL of features. See why you maybe shouldn't dump a pile of cash on a Mercedes S Class, BMW 7 Series or even a Lexus LS and get this instead.
Kia Cerato GT
Published: 28 October 2021
The Kia Cerato is Korea's answer to the VW Golf. For the longest time, the Golf has been the obvious choice between the two. In 2021, that's changed. The updated Cerato GT packs an almighty punch with an affordable price, beefed up performance and an industry leading warranty.
Genesis GV80 Diesel
Published: 26 October 2021
Time is one hell of a thing. It's the sole reason why we aspire to own brands like Mercedes and BMW as they've been able to prove themselves as luxury brands through the generations. The Genesis GV80 has landed in Australia and it's here to prove that if you take the leap of faith to a new brand, you'll be rewarded with one of the best luxury driving experiences of 2022.

Published: 22 October 2021

Hyundai Santa Fe Highlander
Published: 19 October 2021
I was very impressed with the all-new Kia Sorento...until the Hyundai Santa Fe Highlander came along. Personally, this is the more comfortable, more aggressively styled and more luxurious feeling family car I'd prefer to roll around in.
Range Rover Evoque
Published: 10 October 2021

Published: 26 September 2021
With an enormous 5.6L petrol V8 motor under the hood, is it worth saving $30,000 buying this latest generation Patrol over a top-trim Toyota Land Cruiser?
Hyundai Palisade AWD Diesel Highlander
Published: 6 September 2021
It's the American sized family car from Hyundai that offers seating for up to 8-people. It's won plenty of hearts over in the US, so, can it convince enough people to spend over $80,000 on a Hyundai SUV? I think so. See why I believe this is one of the best family SUVs you can buy, in this Expert Review.
Kia Cerato Sedan Sport+
Published: 24 August 2021
This is one of the more sensible daily drivers you can buy today. However, I believe after my week with this recently updated sedan, that it’s a car for those shopping with their head, rather than their heart.
Hyundai Venue
Published: 16 August 2021

Kia Stonic GT-Line
Published: 16 July 2021
This is Kia's smallest SUV it offers. It's marketing materials suggest it's 'Insta-worthy'. It's a small SUV that's aimed at a younger demographic - so, does it live up to the hype as an ideal first car or as an inner-city daily driver? Or, is should you just buy a traditional hatchback?
Hyundai i30 N Line Manual
Published: 4 August 2021
Hyundai offers both a full ‘N’ performance i30, and also this, the i30 N Line. It takes a few sporty cues both superficially and under the bonnet to try and provide a cost-effective but fun-to-drive ‘warm hatch’ - not quite a full ‘hot hatch'.
Jaguar F-PACE P400 SE
Published: 14 July 2021
This is the P400 SE trim of Jaguar’s larger SUV, and it’s now equipped with Jaguar Land Rover’s turbocharged inline six cylinder motor. It’s luxurious, it’s powerful, it has space, but does it have Jaguar’s requirements of having grace and pace?
Nissan Navara ST-X
Published: 25 June 2021
The Nissan Navara is a household name in many Australian households. For 2021, the Navara has received a refresh that really brings out plenty of American influence in both design and overall comfort. Has this redesign given the Navara the edge it needs to move closer to becoming one of the top 3 best selling utes in the country?
Isuzu MU-X
Published: 25 June 2021
Isuzu has a long standing history in the truck and ute market, but it more recently cracked the SUV market with a D-MAX derived 7-seater. This 4x4 SUV is built on the same chassis, but is engineered to make it more family-oriented. Of course, the MU-X is built with off-roading in mind, as it retains and slightly improves the four wheel drive capability of the ute it's based off.
Lexus RC350 Luxury
Published: 24 June 2021
Lexus, a relatively young brand with a stereotype for attracting older buyers, entered the two door market in the mid 2010s with the RC. The RC is unique for its attention to detail and in nailing the basics of what a luxury car should be.

Kia Stinger 330S
Published: 12 May 2021
Since the Stinger received a much needed face-lift, it's finally got the full power behind it's ability to punch up-market. This is the cheapest way to get yourself a Stinger with a twin-turbo V6, producing 274kW and 510Nm. There's a bi-modal exhaust, launch control...to be short, it's possibly the best sports-sedan you can buy for under $100,000.
