Let’s take a look at what the latest issue of NZ Autocar magazine has to offer this month.
Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid Calligraphy AWD
Hyundai launches a new Santa Fe, a popular model here over the years. This one adds more tech, features and adopts that bold new look.
Jaecoo J7 EX
First Chery released its Omoda range here, and now it is joined by Jaecoo with a slightly different take on things. We drive the J7.
MG MG3 Essence vs Suzuki Swift GLS
Suzuki and MG recently renewed their small cars, both line-ups featuring hybrids. We compare two identically priced models, one a hybrid, one not.
Mini Countryman Core Classic
Mini has always dared to be different and that continues with the latest Countryman.
GWM Cannon Alpha Hybrid Ultra
GWM rolls out more Cannon offerings with the arrival of the Alpha. This is a bigger, glitzier machine, and one that comes with proper hybrid power. It’s also the first in the segment.
BMW i4 eDrive35
Generally you’d say no to the base model but in this case the newly added i4 eDrive35 may well be the star of the range.
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD LTZ Premium
There are full-sized pick-ups and then there are FULL-SIZED pick-ups. The Silverado 2500 Heavy Duty is one of the latter.
BMW iX1 eDrive20
BMW’s entry-level X machine goes well enough for us and it’s even better when you replace the engine with an EV powertrain.
Mazda MX-5 GT
We’ve lost count of the times we have featured the fourth generation of the MX-5. It’s been going for nearly a decade now, so is it ageing with grace?
Honda CR-V RS
After a couple of months with different CR-V models, we’ve reaffirmed why it was a good choice as our Car of the Year.
Volkswagen Multivan Family TDI
VW is bringing the diesel back for its human hauler. Is it better than the PHEV alternative?
Kia Sportage Earth Hybrid
We spend some more time with Kia’s fuel saving family-friendly SUV
1959 Chevrolet Impala
The 1959 Chevrolet Impala Sport Coupe is a prime example of American chromed excess. It’s big and draws a lot of attention.
Triumph Speed 400
Triumph is going places it never has before. Its Speed 400 has a single-cylinder powerplant, and the learner bike costs way under $10k. How does it stack up?
