2024 HYUNDAI KONA COMPACT SUV CROSSOVER
For those of us who’ve watched Hyundai’s continual upwards progress over the years, Kona is a relatively new nameplate.

Not many automakers give you […]
2023 ALL-NEW RANGE ROVER LUXURY SUV
Recently, Land Rover launched its fifth generation Range Rover and although it is entirely new, it still has visual design clues that go all he way back to the very first model of almost 50 years ago. The first Range Rover was one of those ‘right from the start’ products that still looks good. In […]
2022 AUDI E-TRON GT QUATTRO
The competition among manufacturers of luxury electric vehicles has intensified in recent times and most firms active in this class have been busy creating new products.

The Mazda CX-9 is the automaker’s flagship vehicle and offers a high level of luxury, performance and sophistication in a stylish and roomy body with three-row seating for seven passengers.

Automotive historians have interesting discussions on the topic of “who invented the minivan” but whatever the answer, it was Chrysler Corporation that kick-started the class in brilliant style back in the 1980s. Although minivans don’t enjoy the popularity they once did thanks to the boom in SUV sales, they are still arguably the most […]
2022 JEEP COMPASS SUV
Now in its second generation, the compact crossover Jeep Compass is an affordable way to get into the highly desirable Jeep range, other models having become quite costly in recent years.

2022 AUDI RS 3
There’s no denying the huge popularity of crossovers and SUVs, but there still seems to be a firm slot in the market for high performance sedans in various configurations. Mostly, they seem to come from Europe or Japan and the upcoming 2022 Audi RS 3 is a great example of the breed. High-spirited […]
2022 INFINITI QX60 LUXURY SUV
Infiniti has a long history of creating ultra-stylish SUVs and was ahead of most of the pack in the design department many years ago, so the automaker has a reputation to uphold. It seems to have achieved this splendidly with the all-new QX60 for 2022. Infiniti points to several styling features that have […]
2022 NISSAN PATHFINDER SUV
The Nissan Pathfinder SUV has been a stalwart in the automaker’s range for many years and in fact dates all the way back to 1986 when sport utility vehicles were something of a novelty and didn’t sell in the numbers we see today. The Pathfinder has always shared its basic specification with the Frontier […]
