For far too long, BMW has been watching rivals Mercedes-Benz and Audi racking in from the lucrative compact premium market. Mercedes’ A-Class and CLA-Class have brought a whole new group of young buyers to a brand once only accessible to wealthy older buyers, while the strong-selling Audi A3 hatch and …

The Hyundai Ioniq has taken over the mantel from the once poster-child-of-green-motoring, the Toyota Prius, in being the most recognisable eco-warrior on our roads, thanks to its myriad of electrified drivetrains. While Toyota might be the pioneer of the technology, and still sell far more hybrids than any other manufacturers …

When we drove the Lexus ES 300h in Luxury and Sports Luxury trims last year, we were impressed by its frugal fuel consumption, ride and handling balance, and elegant yet stylish design. The mid-size sedan from Lexus has come a long way, with each generation a stepped improvement of the …

The Subaru Impreza has a special appeal in the saturated compact car segment, for it is the only one in class equipped with all-wheel drive as standard across all variants.

The current Mitsubishi Pajero Sport was launched in 2015 as a more comfortable and stylish SUV alternative to the Triton workhorse ute, while retaining its full suite of all-terrain capability.
