2024 Nissan X-Trail ST-L AWD review
Quiet, comfortable and well-built, the sensible Nissan X-Trail should tick a lot of boxes for mid-sized SUV buyers.

2024 Mazda CX-5 G35 Akera review
The CX-5 remains an old faithful for Aussie buyers, and the G35 Akera is a punchy and luxurious flagship – if a little dated and thirsty now.
