I live in SA so no hilux for me due to hijacking and theft. Ford is also on the rader for thieves. Out of the rest i chose the navara. Isuzu was an option just too expensive. Otherwise i would have bought a toyota.

We're currently on a 5-year trip in a Grenadier across the world towing a Patriot X3, which we live in. If you're watching this review, it may be of interest. We set off from London in mid-July 2023 with our two young kids and we’re approaching 50000km. At least 70% of our journey has been off-road...

they Longed the manual gear ratio on purpose so it won't compete with the brothers or sisters.

That flower shirt hurts my eyes

2024. Finally paid off my Subaru Impreza Sport. I think back when going thru the negotiations and finally driving off the lot. A MEMORABLE CHAPTER IN LIFE. Good days back then and Great Days Ahead

It's awesome

The EV5 Air LR is an awesome car, test drive it, or at least take a look. If you don't you're missing out! *Note EV5 owner bias. The 500km+ range, 240V outlet in the boot, and fold flat rear seats really make it ideal for (on-road) getaways.

Just get PS5 and GT7 save yourself 124 k

What a joke

Fake engine noise? Why? It's electric. SMH.

Comments are so harsh. Get over it you lot. The judges liked the car, so just be happy for Hyundai for making a cool car. And having driven it myself, it’s brilliant. And I hate the sounds too.

Right up there with the Camira.

When price is irrelevant and does not score against it. They can’t get past having noise in a car. Love the peace and quiet in my M3.

Over priced Korea made and stupid in my opinion.

I drive EV but I don’t appreciate this car of the year though. Great car but I think car of the year should take into account the value and reachability. This is a great car but it’s generally an enthusiast car for the rich. It’s properly niche. Love the car. Just not sure if it’s car of the year.

As of about a week or so ago ENCAP rated it 5 stars. I thought this was a car news channel.

While I somewhat appreciate the fake engine/exhaust sound, I can never understand why all the fake engine/exhaust sounds have to be so….FAKE….seriously if video games can recreate good enough engine sounds of real cars, how hard is it to not be this bad for a real car playing audio!!!!

Looks and sounds like someone has cracked it! Can you play with the engine sounds?

Best Ever Car

Tempting....but comflicted when considering resale value. 🤔🤷‍♂️

Imagine deleting comments. 😂 Nearly as Biased as rigging your reviews.

How?

Comes with a complimentary MAGA hat.

I drove 2 tesla I was very impressed by the quality and power

With such poor build quality control how is this even possible as a contender?

Guess it comes down to what someone really looks for in a car…this could actually win on pure aesthetics but nothing else🤔

LOL .. Contender?

sigh!!!

You know times are tough when BYD is car of the year…

Longevity? Parts availability in years to come? Depreciation? Nah, I will pass

It's $133,000 dollars 🎉

Mad car, those specs!

Yes please!

Garbage

The value calculation seems a bit off. The Kluger Hybrid will make any extra outlay back rapidly with the savings on fuel. That's indisputable. And we drove one from Sydney to Batemans about 3 weeks ago. Insanely good fuel mileage. BUT, I hate that bloody 2.5 petrol engine. It sounds loud and broken.

That 2.5 litre 4 in the Hybrid Kluger is a hideous, intrusive rough-sounding engine. That said, the things are nice wagons, and that fuel economy is astounding for a vehicle of those dimensions.

How much in us dollars?

if you want more feel in the steering wheel, put it in comp mode.. by pressing the traction button twice

Ironically this road is less safe than the heavily limited roads where i went fastest.I could see hundreds of meters each side of the road. Here the chopper is a necessity for spotting animals!

2025 Civic released today in Australia. 2 models. The base model is $49,990. Honda and Nissan will merge. $50K for a Civic is a joke. Honda has lost it. They sold 1000 Civics in 2024 compared to 22,000 Toyota Corollas.

Am I hearing this right, the MK8 R-line was listed at $37,450 but is now $42,290 + on road costs? Yikes, didn't think prices went up that much in the last two years alone for exactly the same product.

Aftermarket exhaust is what pretty much all WRX owners have always done anyway. I'm 40 years old and for as long as I can remember, WRXs always had huge aftermarket exhausts on them. No point comparing those to a stock exhaust on this model that also has to comply to modern day emission rules.

7:10 he called us friends 🤧

Does it have all the head wrecking ott safety messages blurting out at you as you drive in Australia?

Dude, We need to talk about driving. Pay attention to the road. It's a car, not a TV.

Love the wide-opening doors. Good. Power tailgate? Just something else to break, sorry. If you can't open the tailgate, how will you lift your goodies into the car?

For me (might be biased) triton i the winner - everything you need nothing you dont, cheap to service, run and buy, 10 year warranty, much better offroad than mentioned here - with super select, sure not the best in class but the winner for bang-for buck. Not to mention can be upgraded and tuned. Ask many triton owners, they all say the same thing - bulletproof.

The Walkinshaw Group A "fueled the love affair with home-grown V8 muscle"??? Err, no! The"Plastic Pig" didn't sell well lest not it came after MANY more popular HDT Commofores

Either this or the C250 imma work it through
