The Jaguar XF is arguably one of the most important models in the company’s passenger car portfolio as it was the XF that revitalised the struggling brand from oblivion in 2007, after years of producing ho-hum products under Ford’s ownership. It was the trailblazer model that shaked off Jaguars ‘old fashion’ …

The BMW 7 Series is a very important car for the German car maker. Of course, it’s the flagship of the line-up. But more importantly the 7 Series’ rival is the long-dominant Mercedes-Benz S-Class, a car it’s been aiming to topple iteration after iteration. Now, an all-new sixth generation 7 Series …

There’s a lot weighing down on the new Ford Focus RS. Not because its predecessor was hard to improve on, but because it’s such a late comer to the slew of new generation all-paw rockets. If it was to avoid come out second or third best, the Focus RS needs …

The Lexus RX started life in 1997 as a mid-size crossover offering car-like comfort and driving attributes in a roomy high-riding body. It’s the first compact SUV in the luxury space, says Lexus. And they might be right. Excluding the Range Rover, which is much larger, there really was nothing …

With the Volvo XC90 SUV a runaway success, Volvo’s march to greater heights continues unabated with the closely related S90 luxury sedan; the company’s best attempt yet at cracking the premium executive sedan market dominated by the Germans. Essentially a successor to the S80 (yes, remember that one?), the 2017 …

The sixth-generation Ford Mustang arrived with a bang last year. It started with over 1,200 confirmed orders and 15,000 registered keen buyers before the car even arrived in Australia. When it finally made it to our shores after almost two years since its debut, the queue was so long that …

Some relationships are doomed to end in heartbreak and tears; like the one between a shiny new 20-inch alloy wheel and the kerb, while others are more amicable; like the one between Nissan – Infiniti’s parent company – and Mercedes-Benz. Since jumping into bed together in 2010, the partnership has …

How do you keep a five-year-old model fresh with minimal spending? Make a special edition. That’s what Hyundai has done to its Santa Fe seven-seat SUV. But the Korean carmaker has one more reason to rejuvenate its flagship crossover – the brand is commemorating its 30 years in Australia. Limited to just …

Premium looks without premium price. That’s the best way to describe the third-generation Mazda 6 midsize sedan. To us, it is NOT one of, but THE best looking sedan in its class. Already on the market since 2012, the four-year-old design is everything but dated, a testament to the company’s solid …

Nothing has changed, but everything has. That’s the best way of describing the MY17 Land Rover Discovery Sport. You see, the SUV has been given a heart transplant in the form of the Jaguar Land Rover’s award-winning Ingenium turbo-diesel engine that is already seeing duty in the Range Rover Evoque …

Looking for a stylish, seven-seat and ultra-frugal SUV that is faster than a Porsche Cayenne GTS V8? Meet the 2017 Volvo XC90 T8 Twin Engine. Yes, a Volvo that is faster than a Porsche but sips less fuel than a Toyota Prius. Bet you didn’t see that coming, just like …

When a car maker calls its driving mode “Ludicrous” it must be dead serious about it. Found in the Tesla Model S P90D, Ludicrous mode transforms the electric car into the world’s quickest accelerating four-door sedan. We are talking zero to 100km/h in 3.0 seconds flat! And no, it’s not a wishful …

Made in China. It isn’t hard to find at least an item in one’s household that comes from the Middle Kingdom these days and that includes motor vehicles. The world’s second largest economy now produces more cars than Japan, with one out of every four cars in the world coming …

In an increasingly connected world, a car’s infotainment system is now as important as other crucial aspects of the car such as fuel economy and performance. For many, a car’s connectivity and technology are an important part of their decision making when buying vehicles. Ford recently introduced the new SYNC …
