2024 Hyundai Santa Fe Review: The Best SUV I've Driven?
The 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe, particularly in the top-spec Calligraphy trim, is presented as a significant departure from conventional SUV design, elicit... moreing strong reactions. Beyond its polarizing exterior, the vehicle impresses with a surprisingly premium and functional interior, featuring dual 12.3-inch displays and innovative storage solutions, including a UVC sterilization compartment. The hybrid powertrain, combining a 1.6L turbo-four with an electric motor, delivers strong, responsive acceleration and remarkable fuel efficiency, achieving just over 6L/100km, close to Hyundai's claim. The ride quality is praised for its excellent body control and stability, especially on country roads, though it can feel firm around town. Practicality is a strong suit, with ample passenger space, especially in the second row, and a versatile cargo area. However, the review highlights significant drawbacks: the mandatory, overly intrusive safety systems require constant deactivation, and the towing capacity, particularly the down-ball weight, is limited to just over 1500kg, making it unsuitable for larger caravans. Despite these issues, the reviewer concludes it's one of the best SUVs driven recently, offering innovation and a compelling package for families, provided towing isn't a primary concern. less
Vfacts, Toyota Goes Hybrid Only Plus The Best Royal Cars | The CarExpert Podcast
The CarExpert Podcast discusses the latest VFACTS sales data, highlighting a record month with over 111,000 deliveries. Toyota remains the top seller,... more with strong performance from models like the Ranger, HiLux, and RAV4. The podcast notes a significant drop in Tesla sales, attributing it to increased competition and price cuts. A major focus is Toyota's strategic shift to hybrid-only powertrains for most of its passenger car range, including popular models like the Corolla and Camry. This move is seen as a response to market demand and potentially upcoming efficiency standards, though the exclusion of the RAV4 hybrid from Australia is questioned. The episode also touches on the enduring popularity of the Kia Carnival and Hyundai Kona, and briefly explores the royal family's diverse automotive tastes, from classic Aston Martins to Land Rover Defenders. less
2025 Toyota LandCruiser Prado Pricing Plus BYD Sealion 6 Driven | The CarExpert Podcast
The CarExpert Podcast tackles two significant new vehicles: the 2025 Toyota LandCruiser Prado 250 Series and the BYD Sealion 6. The Prado's prici... moreng is a major talking point, with significant increases across the range, making it considerably more expensive than its predecessor. While it boasts a new platform shared with the 300 Series, an 8-speed automatic, and a mild-hybrid system, the core engine remains familiar. The design is praised for being more modern and grown-up, aligning better with its premium price point and the broader Toyota 4x4 lineup. However, the substantial price hike raises questions about its competitiveness against rivals like the Ford Everest. The BYD Sealion 6, on the other hand, is highlighted for its compelling value proposition. As BYD's first plug-in hybrid in Australia, it offers impressive electric range (81-93 km) and a claimed combined range of nearly 1000 km. The turbocharged AWD model delivers strong performance, and the interior is noted for its more conventional and familiar design compared to other BYD models, making it less polarizing. Despite emerging concerns about BYD's dealer network and warranty support compared to established brands like Mitsubishi, the Sealion 6's aggressive pricing and feature set position it as a strong contender in the segment. less
2024 Volkswagen Touareg R Review: Performance SUV Bargain?
The 2024 Volkswagen Touareg R is presented as a compelling performance SUV bargain, sharing its platform with premium vehicles like the Bentley Bentay... morega and Porsche Cayenne. The reviewer highlights its potent plug-in hybrid V6 drivetrain, delivering a combined 340kW and 700Nm, enabling a swift 0-100km/h time of just over 5 seconds and an impressive 100-0km/h braking distance of 38.7 meters. The air suspension with adaptive damping provides a supremely comfortable ride, even on rough surfaces, and the vehicle handles remarkably well for its 2.5-ton weight, particularly in Sport mode. Positives include the extensive standard features, advanced IQ.LIGHT headlights, and the spacious interior with a full-length glass roof. Criticisms are minor, focusing on a slightly laggy infotainment system and an abundance of piano black trim. Despite its high price point (under $130,000 AUD), the Touareg R is considered excellent value when compared to its platform siblings, offering a blend of performance, luxury, and practicality. less
Best Eofy New Car Deals Plus Chery Tiggo 8 Pro Max | The CarExpert Podcast
The CarExpert Podcast discusses the Chery Tiggo 8 Pro Max, positioning it as a compelling alternative in the seven-seat SUV segment. The vehicle is pr... moreaised for its sharp pricing, starting at $41,990 drive-away, and its well-equipped base model. The top-spec Ultimate variant, priced at $47,990 drive-away, offers AWD and premium features like a fragrance system and unique interior options. While the turbocharged 2.0L petrol engine provides strong performance, particularly in the AWD Ultimate trim, the front-wheel-drive models can be overwhelmed under hard acceleration. The reviewer notes improvements in refinement and technology compared to previous Chery models, though some infotainment and driver assistance system quirks remain, such as the lane centering's tendency to hug the right side of the lane in right-hand drive configurations. Despite these minor issues, the Tiggo 8 Pro Max is considered a well-rounded and significantly improved offering from Chery, presenting a strong value proposition against established rivals like the Outlander and X-Trail. less
2024 Aston Martin Vantage Driven & EV Prices Slashed by $25k | The CarExpert Podcast
The CarExpert Podcast discusses significant EV price cuts in Australia, with Polestar, Nissan Leaf, and Porsche Taycan seeing reductions of up to $25,... more000. This is attributed to market normalization and potential overstocking, impacting resale values. The conversation then shifts to the new 2024 Aston Martin Vantage, described as a complete overhaul rather than an update. The reviewer highlights its significantly improved performance with 489kW and 800Nm from a reworked Mercedes-AMG V8, a more aggressive and beautiful design, and a vastly improved interior. The new nine-stage traction control system is praised for its ability to allow drivers to explore the car's limits safely. While the Australian price is set at $410,000 before options, the reviewer emphasizes the extensive customization possibilities and recommends the carbon ceramic brakes for track use. The episode concludes with picks of the week, including endurance racing onboard footage and the unique sound of a NASCAR at Le Mans. less
Rare $5m Lamborghini vs Insane V8 Ferrari & Hyundai EV Drag Race!
This video pits the legendary Lamborghini Countach against a Ferrari SF90, a Ferrari 812 Competizione, and the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N in a series of drag a... morend roll races. The Countach, a hybrid with a V12 and supercapacitor, proved surprisingly potent off the line, narrowly beating the 812 Competizione in the initial drag races, though the Ferrari's superior gearbox and power delivery gave it an edge in roll races. The SF90, a plug-in hybrid V8, demonstrated Bugatti-level acceleration, comprehensively defeating the Countach in both drag and roll races. The Hyundai Ioniq 5 N, positioned as an affordable electric performance car, showed remarkable traction and acceleration, narrowly losing to the Countach in a drag race but proving its mettle against hypercars. The reviewer highlights the Countach's unique hybrid system and the SF90's overwhelming speed, while expressing admiration for the Ioniq 5 N's ability to compete with multi-million dollar machines. less
2024 GWM Tank 500 On/Off-Road Review: Rip New Prado?
The GWM Tank 500 presents a compelling value proposition, particularly for those seeking a large, seven-seat SUV with off-road aspirations at a price ... morepoint significantly lower than its main competitors like the Toyota Prado. The reviewer highlights the surprisingly premium interior, loaded with features even in the base Luxe trim, and praises its off-road capability, noting impressive traction control performance and a capable low-range mode. However, the hybrid drivetrain is a significant point of contention. While offering strong combined power figures, its on-road manners are described as "eager at times and then not eager enough at other times," with noticeable lag off the line and concerning brake pedal feel due to the blend of regenerative and friction braking. The reviewer also notes that the hybrid system can interfere with braking and throttle modulation off-road. The steering is deemed a bit laggy in response, and the advanced driver aids, while comprehensive, are described as frustratingly intrusive and prone to misinterpretation. The vehicle's towing capacity and payload are also noted as being somewhat limited when fully loaded or towing at its maximum. The reviewer suggests that a potential V6 diesel variant, available overseas, could be a more sensible option for serious towing and overall performance, but for its sub-$67,000 drive-away price, the Tank 500 offers substantial equipment and capability, albeit with a drivetrain that requires compromise. less
How Much Does It Cost To Run An EV? Tyres, Insurance, Servicing, Resale? | The CarExpert Podcast
The CarExpert Podcast dives deep into the often-confusing world of EV running costs, comparing the GWM Ora, Tesla Model Y RWD, Kia EV9 Air, and Toyota... more RAV4 Hybrid GX. The hosts meticulously break down expenses including insurance, charging, tires, servicing, and resale value. Key takeaways highlight the significant cost savings on charging and servicing for EVs compared to the hybrid RAV4, which surprisingly holds its value exceptionally well, even appreciating in the used market due to supply shortages. Conversely, the Tesla Model Y, despite its efficiency, suffers from steep depreciation, particularly for those on novated leases, due to aggressive price cuts by the manufacturer. Tire costs are also noted as potentially higher for EVs due to their weight and torque. The podcast emphasizes the importance of shopping around for insurance and understanding energy provider plans for optimal charging costs. While EVs offer long-term savings, potential buyers are cautioned about the volatile resale market, especially for brands like Tesla that frequently adjust pricing. less
2024 Renault Megane E-Tech Review
The 2024 Renault Megane E-Tech is presented as a stylish and sporty alternative in the electric vehicle market, aiming to stand out from more conventi... moreonal designs. While it boasts an attractive exterior and a premium-feeling interior with good quality materials, it falls short in practicality, particularly in the cramped second row and a small, albeit deep, boot. The infotainment system is generally good, with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration, but the reverse camera quality is deemed exceptionally poor. On the road, the Megane E-Tech surprises with its sporty handling and engaging driving dynamics, especially for a front-wheel-drive electric car, performing remarkably well on track. However, the ride comfort is compromised by the large 20-inch wheels, resulting in a firm experience over bumps. Real-world energy consumption (averaging 18.6 kWh/100km) is higher than claimed. Despite its shortcomings in space and camera quality, the reviewer concludes it's the sportiest two-wheel-drive EV in its price bracket, offering a fun and stylish package. less
2024 GWM Ora/Good Cat GT Review
The GWM Ora GT, also known as the Good Cat, is presented as a sportier variant with styling enhancements and a larger battery. However, the review hig... morehlights that despite the 'GT' designation and sporty aesthetics like faux carbon accents and red brake calipers, it shares the same power output as the standard models. The interior receives a significant upgrade with red leather accents, Alcantara seats, and premium features such as seat massaging, heated/cooled seats, and a high-tech dual-display setup, which the reviewer notes are typically found in much more expensive vehicles. Practicality is a mixed bag, with decent cabin tech but limited storage and a cramped rear seat. Charging speeds are considered average, peaking just under 70kW. Performance figures, including a 0-100 km/h time of 7.97 seconds (better than claimed), are respectable for its class. The ride quality is praised for its comfort and refinement, even on rough surfaces, though road noise is noticeable on coarse chip surfaces. The lane-keeping assist system is criticized for being inconsistent and not a true lane-centering function. Ultimately, the reviewer's verdict is that the Ora GT, especially at its asking price of over $50,000 (before discounts), is not compelling enough over lower trims. The recommendation is to opt for the Long Range or entry-level versions, which offer better value, particularly with current discounts. less
Drag Race: Hyundai Ioniq 5 N vs Lamborghini vs Ferrari vs Porsche vs Brabus Mercedes-AMG
This video pits the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N against a formidable lineup of supercars, including a Porsche 911 GT3, a Brabus Mercedes-AMG G63, a Lamborghini ... moreHuracan STO, and a Ferrari 812 Competizione, in a series of drag and roll races. Despite the significant price and performance disparities, the Ioniq 5 N proves to be a surprisingly competitive contender, especially in straight-line acceleration. The reviewer highlights the EV's impressive launch control, 'N Grin Boost' feature, and preconditioning capabilities, which allow it to consistently deliver strong performance. While the Ioniq 5 N ultimately falls short against the V10 and V12 supercars in direct comparison, its ability to keep pace with, and even beat, the GT3 and G63 is presented as a remarkable achievement for its price point. The video emphasizes the Ioniq 5 N's dual nature, capable of both blistering straight-line speed and track-focused performance, making it a compelling performance EV. less
2024 Hyundai Kona Electric Review
The 2024 Hyundai Kona Electric, particularly the top-spec Premium Extended Range model, presents a mixed bag. While it boasts a futuristic design, a s... morepacious interior with ample rear legroom, and an updated infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay, its driving dynamics are a significant drawback. The suspension lacks body control, feeling overly soft and unsettled on country roads and even on a test track, a stark contrast to the more focused tuning found in other recent Hyundai models. The reviewer notes that the ride is comfortable for city driving but struggles at higher speeds. Performance is adequate, with a 0-100 km/h time of 8.32 seconds, but efficiency falls short of competitors like the Tesla Model Y. Braking performance is a strong point, achieving a 100-0 km/h distance of 37.25 meters. Ultimately, the reviewer suggests that while the entry-level models offer better value and are more resolved than some Chinese competitors, the premium price of the tested variant makes the Tesla Model Y a more compelling option. The extended range, non-premium versions are recommended for their city-driving suitability and range. less
Tesla Cybertruck in Australia & The Best of the Beijing Motor Show | The CarExpert Podcast
The CarExpert Podcast discusses the surprise appearance of the Tesla Cybertruck in Australia, clarifying it's a marketing stunt with the vehicle ... morebeing left-hand drive and registered on dealer plates. While Tesla is conducting a publicity tour, the permanent Australian release remains uncertain due to ongoing issues in the US, including recalls and build quality concerns. The hosts also touch upon Tesla's recent price cuts in Australia for the Model Y and Model 3, noting its continued sales dominance despite broader global challenges. The conversation highlights the potential for the Cybertruck's Australian tour to gauge local customer sentiment, even as other Tesla models like the Model S and X are no longer available locally. The segment also briefly mentions the Cybertruck's stop-sale order in the US due to an accelerator pedal issue, which has a temporary fix involving a small bracket. less
2025 Porsche Macan Review: Is The Huge Price Increase For This SUV Worth It?
The 2025 Porsche Macan marks a significant shift as it goes fully electric, replacing its internal combustion predecessor. This review focuses on the ... moretop-tier Turbo variant, highlighting its striking design, advanced aerodynamics contributing to a claimed range of nearly 600 km (WLTP), and an impressive coefficient of drag of 0.25. Inside, the Macan offers extensive customization options, a 12.6-inch curved driver display, and an augmented reality head-up display, though the latter's focus is noted as a potential drawback. The rear-seat space is surprisingly generous, a marked improvement over the previous generation. On the road, the Macan Turbo delivers relentless acceleration with over 400 kW and 1100 Nm of torque, feeling remarkably agile despite its 2400 kg weight, thanks to its low seating position and sophisticated chassis tuning. The ride quality is praised for balancing comfort and sportiness. However, the substantial price increase over the previous generation is a key point of contention, with the Turbo model starting at over $130,000 in Australia. While the performance and handling are undeniably Porsche-like, the value proposition at this price point is questioned. less
2024 Mitsubishi Triton Driven, Aussie EV Chargers Dead & New Kia Ute Details | The CarExpert Podcast
The CarExpert Podcast covers significant developments in the automotive world, starting with new details on the upcoming Kia Tasman ute. Spy shots rev... moreeal it will feature rear disc brakes and a leaf-sprung rear suspension, aiming for robust load-carrying capability and potentially a full-time four-wheel-drive system. The interior is expected to be upscale, possibly larger than a Ranger, targeting buyers seeking luxury without the F-150 price tag. The discussion then shifts to the concerning insolvency of Tritium, a local EV charger manufacturer. This raises questions about the future of Australia's EV charging infrastructure and parts availability, despite Tritium being a supplier rather than a network operator. Finally, the team shares initial impressions of the new Mitsubishi Triton. While praised for a much-improved interior and ride compared to its decade-old predecessor, the new Triton is heavily criticized for its overly intrusive and poorly implemented driver-assistance systems, particularly the driver monitoring feature, which significantly detracts from the driving experience. less
2024 Hyundai Ioniq 5 N Detailed Review: RIP Model Y Performance
The 2024 Hyundai Ioniq 5 N is hailed as a groundbreaking performance EV, potentially setting a new benchmark in its class. The reviewer highlights its... more exceptional track performance, noting its ability to deliver repeatable acceleration and braking without significant fade, outperforming rivals like the Tesla Model Y Performance and Mustang Mach-E GT. The vehicle's advanced thermal management, torque vectoring, and electronic limited-slip differential contribute to its impressive on-track capabilities. While praised for its driving dynamics and driver engagement, the reviewer also points out some practical drawbacks, such as increased energy consumption compared to less performance-oriented EVs and a less practical cargo area than the Model Y. The interior receives updates, including a new infotainment system, but the manual seat adjustment for a car at this price point is questioned, though justified by the desire for a lower seating position. Overall, the Ioniq 5 N is presented as a highly capable and exhilarating performance machine, albeit with compromises inherent to its high-performance nature. less
2024 Mahindra Scorpio, Porsche's 6 Second 0-200km/h EV & An Electric Alfa | The CarExpert Podcast
The CarExpert Podcast dives into the extreme performance of the Porsche Taycan Turbo GT, the naming controversy surrounding the new Alfa Romeo Junior ... more(formerly Milano), and a long-term review of the Mahindra Scorpio. The Taycan Turbo GT is lauded for its ballistic acceleration, achieving 0-200 km/h in under 7 seconds, though its practicality as a family car is questioned due to the removal of rear seats in its performance-oriented 'Weissach pack' configuration. The Alfa Romeo Junior's name change from Milano due to Italian government regulations is discussed as an outlandish but interesting case of protecting national heritage. The Mahindra Scorpio long-term review highlights its surprising refinement and capability for its $50,000 price point, especially off-road. However, criticisms include a lack of modern safety systems, some software quirks like the stop-start system's clunky operation, and a small fuel tank. Despite these drawbacks, the Scorpio is considered good value and a solid effort for its intended niche. less
How Much Does It Cost to Own an EV, Kia Sportage Hybrid Driven & VFACTS | The CarExpert Podcast
This episode of the CarExpert Podcast delves into the complex world of EV running costs, comparing the Toyota RAV4 Hybrid, GWM Ora, Tesla Model Y, and... more Kia EV9. While EVs generally show lower running costs, particularly when home-charged, the initial purchase price remains a significant barrier, especially for larger models like the EV9. The Kia Sportage Hybrid is also reviewed, with the hosts noting its comfortable ride and engaging drivetrain, though its real-world fuel economy fell short of official claims, especially on longer trips or in hilly terrain, falling behind the more efficient RAV4 Hybrid in this regard. The discussion also touches on March VFACTS sales figures, highlighting the strong performance of traditional models and improved supply chains, and briefly explores the debate around large SUV choices and the potential for performance utes. less
2024 Kia Sportage Hybrid Review: Over 1000km Range Per Tank!
The 2024 Kia Sportage Hybrid, specifically the entry-level SX trim, is presented as a compelling alternative to the Toyota RAV4 Hybrid, particularly f... moreor Australian buyers facing long wait times. The reviewer highlights its impressive fuel economy, averaging around 5.5L/100km, which is close to Kia's claim of 5L/100km, and praises its substantial real-world range exceeding 1000km per tank. While the exterior design is largely unchanged from non-hybrid models, the interior offers a premium feel despite cloth seats, though the extensive use of piano black trim is noted as a drawback due to its susceptibility to marking and scratching. Performance is a strong point, with the 1.6L turbocharged engine and electric motor combination delivering a punchy 169kW and 350Nm, making it more engaging to drive than many competitors. The 0-100km/h sprint is achieved in a respectable 7.67 seconds. However, a slight delay in power delivery due to the hybrid system's integration with the transmission is mentioned. The ride and handling are commended for their balance of comfort and control, even on rough surfaces. The reviewer concludes that while the price might initially seem high, the Sportage Hybrid offers a sporty and fun driving experience that transcends its fuel-efficient nature, making it a strong contender in the segment. less
2024 Toyota C-HR Driven, Hybrid Prado Coming & An Electric Isuzu D-Max? | The CarExpert Podcast
The CarExpert Podcast discusses the new Toyota C-HR, highlighting its striking, design-led aesthetic and premium interior, which sets it apart from mo... morere conventional offerings like the Corolla Cross. While the styling and cabin experience are praised, the reviewer notes that the driving dynamics, even in the GR Sport trim, lack the performance and engagement to match the car's sporty looks. The powertrain is described as a conventional, efficient Toyota hybrid, delivering under 5L/100km, but not offering significant grunt. Rear seat space and boot capacity are adequate but not class-leading, with the rear being somewhat dark and snug. Despite the higher price point compared to the previous generation, the C-HR is positioned as an attainable way to achieve a premium Toyota feel, offering strong value against the Lexus UX, especially considering its running costs and warranty. The consensus is that it's a comfortable, efficient, and visually appealing daily driver, but not a performance alternative. less
2024 Toyota RAV4 Prime Review
The Toyota RAV4 Prime is presented as the ideal version of the popular SUV, lamenting its absence in the Australian market. The reviewer highlights it... mores compelling blend of electric driving for shorter trips and the convenience of a plug-in hybrid system for longer journeys, effectively offering the best of both worlds. Performance is a standout feature, with the Prime delivering surprisingly rapid acceleration, achieving 0-100 km/h in a swift 6 seconds, thanks to its combined 224 kW output from the petrol engine and electric motors. The interior is noted for its premium feel and practical features, though the infotainment system is described as slightly laggy. Real-world electric range is estimated at 60-70 km, with a fuel consumption of around 6 L/100km once the battery is depleted. While acknowledging its premium price point, the reviewer strongly advocates for its introduction to Australia, citing its potential to fit under luxury car tax thresholds and its overall impressive package. less
2024 Nissan Qashqai E-Power, Victorian Ute Tax & Chris Harris on Aussie Cars | The CarExpert Podcast
The CarExpert Podcast discusses Nissan's innovative e-Power hybrid system in the 2024 Qashqai, highlighting its unique series-hybrid approach whe... morere an electric motor exclusively drives the wheels, while a petrol engine acts as a generator. Reviewers praise its EV-like driving experience and impressive fuel economy, achieving 5.4L/100km, comparable to or better than rivals like the RAV4. The system offers smooth, consistent acceleration and refinement, even surpassing the larger X-Trail in this regard, thanks to active sound cancellation. While the e-Power Qashqai is lauded as the best version, its higher price point (4,000 AUD more than petrol variants) and current availability only in top-spec are noted as drawbacks, positioning it against higher-spec competitors. The podcast also touches on the controversial 'ute tax' proposed by Yara City Council, criticizing its lack of clear definition and potential for unfair application, and briefly mentions the upcoming Volkswagen ID.3 GTX. less
2024 Toyota Bz4X Review (Inc. 0-100 & Braking)
The 2024 Toyota Bz4X presents a polarizing design, but offers a comfortable and familiar driving experience for existing Toyota owners. While it lacks... more the sophistication of some competitors like the Tesla Model Y or Hyundai Ioniq 5/Kia EV6, its strengths lie in its user-friendly interior, excellent air conditioning, and a ride quality that strikes a good balance between comfort and firmness. Key drawbacks include the inability to see the speedometer due to steering wheel placement, the absence of standard blind-spot monitoring (requiring an AWD upgrade), and a less efficient energy economy compared to rivals. The base front-wheel-drive model achieves 0-100 km/h in 8.25 seconds and offers a decent, though not class-leading, stopping distance. Toyota's strong warranty and guaranteed future value are significant appeals for those prioritizing reliability and ease of use over cutting-edge EV technology. less
