It’s footy finals time and to get in the spirit, we’ve pitted some bestselling vehicles head-to-head with up-and-comers in their category. We’ll be comparing their performance, design and tech, practicality, and value. Let’s kick-off!

The Next-Gen Ford Ranger has been redesigned for extra capability at both work and play, with new tech like the clever zone perimeter lighting system for camping or working at night.

It has a beastly new 3.0L V6 turbo-diesel engine option and can tow 3,500kg. The tray now fits a standard Euro pallet across the range.

Engineered for Australian conditions, the Isuzu D-MAX is a great everyday workhorse. It was named ‘Best Dual-Cab Ute’ in the Drive ‘Car of the Year awards for both 2021 and 2022 due to its solid performance and outstanding standard features.

It represents great value, with a wide range of variants including single and king cab, auto and manual, 4x4 and 4x2.

For day-to-day usage, the Tesla ticks all the boxes, with fantastic boot space and an 88L ‘frunk’ under the bonnet.

Like all EVs, the 2022 Tesla Model 3 attracts a premium price – however, you also benefit from Tesla’s market-leading EV expertise.
