The article discusses the fifth-generation Hyundai Santa Fe, a large SUV that has undergone significant changes and improvements. The new model is longer and taller than its predecessor, providing more interior space and practicality. It features unique design elements, such as H-pattern LED headlights and tail-lights, and offers advanced features like a sterilization compartment for smartphones and a dual-charging pad. The powertrain is a hybrid system, and the Australian market will have the option for all-wheel drive. The article highlights the comfort of the front seats and the improved ride and handling. However, it also mentions potential concerns about fuel efficiency due to the increased weight of the vehicle. The pricing, fuel economy, and third-row experience are still unknown. Overall, the fifth-generation Santa Fe is seen as a step up from the previous model in terms of size and features. [Extracted from the article]

For the fifth-generation model though, Nissan wants to rekindle some of that original sense of adventure and deliver a Pathfinder that can stand out from the large affordable SUV crowd rather than disappear into it. IF COSTCO SOLD vehicles, its warehouse racking would be stacked to the purlins with cars like the Nissan Pathfinder. As for the rest of the driving package, the Pathfinder feels neat and tidy on the road with enough steering involvement to partially conceal its weight and large SUV status, while the ride quality is another step up in Pathfinder evolution.

Our COTY test car's value was further boosted by an optional N-Line pack that, for just $2000, adds a whole raft of goodies including LED headlights, full-size digital driver display, leather/suede upholstery, auto high beam, and various external/internal embellishments that lend the Tucson a slightly sportier -- read: better -- look. First, picking the 2.0-litre turbo-diesel over the two petrol drivetrain alternatives was a no-brainer: the base 2.0-litre petrol is underpowered and the 1.6-litre turbo is hobbled by a recalcitrant dual-clutch auto.

In its place slots the same 3.0-litre Ecoboost twin-turbo V6 petrol as found in the recently released Bronco Raptor, with which the new Ranger shares its T6 architecture. When we joke the Raptor seems to have more modes than a BMW M car, Capicchiano adds: "Yes, but you can drive this car in many more ways than a BMW M car. Combine that with a suspension set-up built around next-gen, semi-adjustable shocks from US supplier Fox, and Ford's engineers say the new Raptor is a different animal entirely to drive quickly.

STARING AT THE 2022 Kia Sportage's exaggerated styling -- headlined by striking, boomerang-shaped LED daytime running lights -- it's most definitely an understatement to say Kia has come a long way as a brand since the original SUV debuted locally nearly 25 years ago. Even on the bigger 19-inch wheels of the GT-Line model, the Sportage makes a case for being the best-riding Kia in the showroom. While vigorously tackling a set of corners isn't an essential talent for a family-oriented SUV, the lighter-weight, front-wheel drive Sportage S petrol is surprisingly enjoyable to punt along a scenic tourist route.

It's also worth considering that, while the Mazda and Hyundai both offer different driving modes, the Kia does not. But if Mazda's offering was regarded as a little late to the party in 2015, then more recent rivals from Hyundai and Kia have turned up after the glasses have been put away and the carpets shampooed. While the Stonic took nearly 20 seconds to get to 400 metres, the Hyundai was a little faster at 18.1sec, but the Mazda was noticeably quicker, doing the dash in 16.8sec. SINCE ITS LAUNCH in 2015, Mazda's CX-3 has consistently proven itself as the mainstream compact SUV to beat, and in its whopping 15-variant line-up there's something for everyone.

While the BMW is all about maximising corner entry speeds and managing traction on exit, the beautifully cohesive Cayman GTS is about flowing from corner to corner and trying to avoid pushing those skinny 235-section front tyres into under steer. This is a car that carves up the road in harmony, sitting a lot lower and more flat than the BMW, its sublime controls feeling like cheese to the BMW's chalk.

A car on 22-inch wheels and liquorice-strap 30-series tyres has zero right to ride as well as it does, but the air suspension does a brilliant job of ironing out freeway chatter.

The road surface up to and across the plains is loose coarse chip, and the lack of sound deadening in the GT4 coupled with its extravagantly sticky rubber sends a constant fusillade of pings onto its underbelly. Of course, were you planning to take your Porsche on-track on a reasonably frequent basis, the GT4 would be in its element, but as a road car, the Carrera has its measure. ALL IT the remnants of the cultural cringe: that belief that whatever we produce in Australia, Europe does it better. From the cabin of the GT4, the grey dash and yellow front guards look like physical extensions of the grey bitumen and yellow lines, almost as if the car has morphed bodily out of the road.

Those who have seen the final clay bucks of the car in Nissan's studio speak of a shape that echoes the hard points of the 370Z, but clothed in a far more striking design that fuses modern body-surfacing techniques with deliberately retro design cues. Because of the latter, Nissan isn't committing right now to a firm launch date for its 300kW twin-turbo tearaway. The all-aluminium 3.0-litre twin-turbo V6 from the Infiniti Q60 Red Sport is expected to slip beneath the 400Z's bonnet, marking a return to Z-car forced induction for the first time since the much-loved Z32 twin-turbo version of the 300ZX finished its production run in August 2000.

Simply put, the $69,300 A35 could be perceived as somewhat of a halfway house; a car built solely to plug the narrow gap between the A250 Mercedes and the unhinged A45 S from AMG.

It's not a lesson that Hyundai has embraced, however, when you look at the latest iteration of the Veloster er four-door hatch, I guess you'd call it. The first-gen Veloster lobbed into an unsuspecting market in early 2012, giving Hyundai something that it sorely lacked at the time: a hatchback with at least vaguely sporting pretensions. Hyundai's staid but solid 2.0-litre Atkinson MPi 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol engine can be teamed with a six-speed manual or six-speed (torque-converter) automatic (a $2300 uptick) in the entry-level Veloster, which starts at $29,490.

Containing the entry cost to mid-spec small-car money not only makes it appealingly affordable up front, it does wonders for minimising the cost of depreciation, despite a 41 percent three-year resale (compared with rivals' 44 and 47 percent figures.) 06 Servicing costs Widespread fixed- or capped-price servicing schemes would make it possible to compare car servicing costs, but for the fact they're not universal. The real cost of owning the car is depreciation, which is where purchase cost comes into our value analysis. 05 Real cost It's relatively easy to put a representative number on the three-year cost of depreciation, fuel and insurance, so the total of these running costs equates to 80 percent of a car's score.
