Hyundai has released a facelifted version of its i30 Sedan, incorporating engineering enhancements from the new-generation Kona. The sedan features a restyled exterior with a fastback silhouette and new LED headlights. The base model comes with a 2.0-liter petrol engine, while a hybrid version is also available. The i30 Sedan offers a spacious interior with comfortable seating and a generous amount of equipment. It delivers impressive fuel efficiency and has strong handling and dynamics. However, the base model has a plain appearance and lacks storage space. Overall, the i30 Sedan Hybrid is a practical and efficient choice for those looking for a reliable and comfortable ride.

We're not sure if Volkswagen is trying to troll Ford, but it claims a millimetre more ground clearance for the Amarok versus the Ranger (235mm vs 234mm). Park this Ford and the Volkswagen side by side and most would probably think the Amarok was a lot more than $9K more expensive. To that end, we've chosen the penultimate Amarok model, the Panamericana. Volkswagen's 45-minute presentation on the new Amarok went into considerable depth, even mentioning at one point that the vehicle was designed -- by persons unnamed -- in Melbourne.

Two tonnes of metal being flung at thehorizon by 430kW/730Nm in the Kia's case, and approximately393kW/660Nm for the Model Y. The Model Y's initial snap is more visceral, yet its electronicsmarts expertly limit wheelspin to a minimum. Speaking to Kia's chassis dynamicist Graeme Gamboldrevealed that Australian EV6 GTs run higher compression andlower spring rates for better control of the body without thejiggle associated with excess rebound damping. The EV6 GT starts at $99,950 before on-road costs, whilethe Model Y Performance is a little cheaper at $98,955. Forward vision is generally excellent, owing to the highseating position and huge front windscreen, but the tiny slot rearwindow makes it hard to judge the rear of the Model Y. Swapping into the EV6's snug bucket seats on the bumpyBells Line of Road re-iterated Kia's chassis tuning nous; theEV6 GT is superbly suspended. [Extracted from the article]

As of September 2022, the queue for a BYD Atto 3 was five to six months long whereas if you were flexible on colour and happy to call around dealers hunting vehicles in stock, you could have a ZS EV -- and be part of that electric vehicle revolution -- in a matter of weeks, if not days. A small SUV built on a dedicated electric vehicle architecture, the Atto 3 is the first BYD model in Australia. The entry point for a new electric car in Australia is now $45K, and the competition for a spot in your driveway is intensifying thanks to the intriguing new, and very cheap, BYD Atto 3 electric SUV.

Kia says the dampers enable the EV6 to offer a slightly firmer, more planted ride when faced with lower frequency inputs, such as on a fast, winding road, and a more comfortable ride at highway speeds or over poor surfaces. Just on 55mm lower overall than the Ioniq 5, 100mm shorter in the wheelbase, and with stiffer suspension, the EV6 is fundamentally an electric avatar of the Stinger, the sporty rear-drive Kia fastback that has no counterpart in Hyundai's line-up. IT'S NOT JUST that the all-electric EV6 is the first Kia in history designed from the wheels up to be battery-powered; the EV6 signals its virtues in other ways, too. [Extracted from the article]

The Puma misses out on a centre armrest and rear vents, however the optional ($2000) electric panoramic sunroof in the Puma does bring extra light and fresh air into the cabin. /25 Hyundai's seven-tier Kona line-up starts from $26,600, with its N-Line variant less than $1000 dearer than the top Puma at $36,300 (plus on-roads). While the Kona's N-badged front seats look the sportiest here, the Puma's are plenty supportive and upholstered in full leather where the Hyundai's are leather-accented only.

Miki Biasion tested Mitsubishi Pajero Evolution on day two of the UAE Desert Challenge. The double world rally champion is now 45 and his weathered face has the look of a man who has been there and done that. Thierry Viardot, the team's technical director, takes him into the passenger seat for a demonstration run. Despite the heat, this car has no air conditioning and the token side windows suck in sand instead of cool air. The power output is nothing to write home about at 201kW, but engineers have concentrated on maximising the torque curve.
