Six-cylinder diesel is a beauty
Comfort-focused drive is plush
Updated tech works well

Misses

$30,000 dearer than equivalent X5
Still needs (expensive) options ticked
Cabin execution feels underdone

2024 Mercedes-Benz GLE review

The updated GLE SUV pushes further upmarket with its pricing, but the recipe remains the same – does it justify $30,000 over an X5?

2023 Mazda CX-9 Sport review

Mazda's largest SUV may be on its farewell tour, but even the base CX-9 has plenty to offer to Aussie families wanting bang for buck.
