There’s nothing sweeter than when driver and vehicle are perfectly matched. With hot new models on the scene, there’s something for even the pickiest car-lover out there. Your ideal drive is waiting for you.
Sporty hybrids
For those seeking a fun and flexible compact vehicle that you can show off to all your friends.
The ultra-modern one
This fun-loving Hyundai Kona hybrid version is new for MY24. It lands with a super-efficient engine and excellent driving comfort, extra space, and fully reclining front and passenger seats for zero gravity relaxation. Kona is clever, too, with smart regenerative braking, remote smart parking assist and a smart power tailgate in the top spec. In the looks department, you’ll love its leather interior as well as the seamless horizon light which arches right across the bonnet.
The outdoorsy one
If you’re impressed by bushcraft, the new Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid will win you over in the great outdoors. If you haven't crossed paths since it arrived mid-2023, it's worth a look. Its off-road ability comes courtesy of a Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system for better grip and superior handling, class-leading ground clearance, and X-mode which tailors traction to the driving conditions. All topped off with that rugged Subaru exterior. Prepare to swoon.
Medium SUVs
For those seeking something practical for the family (or just like plenty of space).
The family-oriented one
Honda’s next generation of CR-V has been completely redesigned to be more spacious, inviting and sophisticated. Available since September 2023, there's options galore, from seven seat to all-wheel-drive to hybrid. Plus, the family-friendly hands-free power tailgate and multi-angle reversing camera come standard across the range. Very seductive.
The head-turning one
The latest generation X-TRAIL offers a lot of practicality and athletic all-new styling in a competitive package. November 2023 saw the arrival of additional ePower models, delivering hybrid driving and fuel efficiency at an affordable price point, without the need to plug in. If you choose the traditional petrol platform, you have the option of seven seats, making the X-TRAIL a truly appealing family SUV.
Abundant & adventurous
For those seeking an intrepid traveller to really light your campfire.
The bold one
The Ford Everest may have a tough exterior, but it's a big softie on the inside. Plush extra-padded seats (7 of them) and premium finishes make for a cosy cabin. With a muscular appearance (shown here in the Ambiente variant), it's confident and capable, featuring trailer reverse assist and an off-road screen for key details. New for 2024 is a Wildtrak variant adopting the hugely popular emboldened black styling and bumper from the Ranger line-up.
The accomplished one
Late 2023 brought an off-road icon's formidable new offering – the Patrol WARRIOR. This beast has increased the Patrol's capability both on and off-road. New features include a redesigned towbar with two recovery points, a higher ride height for excellent ground clearance, a wider track and new all-terrain tyres. All while still delivering a highly refined ride. And if you can’t resist a deep V8 growl, a bi-modal active exhaust lets you unleash a WARRIOR roar.
Electric Vehicles (EVs)
For those seeking a darling of the road (and Earth).
The famous one
The biggest name in EVs, Tesla has revamped the popular Model 3 to deliver a longer range, fresh new look and revised interior. Available now in Rear-Wheel Drive and Long Range, and coming very soon in the new Performance model, the latest Model 3 looks and performs better than ever. Inside it has a bigger touchscreen and new steering wheel, as well as 360-degree acoustic glass for a quieter ride.
The revolutionary one
A newcomer to the line up from the world’s second-biggest EV brand, Build Your Dreams. The Seal is a medium-sized sedan which, like BYD’s other vehicles, has an innovative ‘Blade’ battery that forms part of the vehicle’s structure and leaves loads of space for rear seat passengers. There are three variants to suit most budgets, all offering excellent driving range, with the top spec Performance model going from 0-100km in 3.8sec.
