GWM wants to be Australia's Chinese giant (opens the original)
Read excerpt
GWM will almost double its model count in Australia next year, with the brand confirming 16 models will be on sale by the end of 2027, surpassing the 14 currently offered by core rival BYD. The brand currently offered nine models - the Jolion, H6, H6GT and H7 under the Haval brand, the Tank 300 and 500, the Cannon and Cannon Alpha, and the all-electric Ora 5 - but than number is set to boom next year with the arrival of new models and powertrains. The move is in response to a Australia's highly
Big problem with Toyota's EVs is Toyota (opens the original)
Read excerpt
You have to feel for the good folks at Toyota. The executive team spends years downplaying EVs for Australia - suggesting they're not the right fit for most Australians, are too expensive, and can't do all the things ICE engines can do - and then they have to go and bloody launch one. I was at the launch of the bZ4X in 2024, the brand's first-ever EV, and so was on hand to see the spectacular verbal gymnastics on display. One of the brand's then-most senior executives had described EVs as "impra
Mitsubishi Pajero 'Shorty' Oz's coolest 4WD (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Could Mitsubishi's new Pajero spawn a lust-worthy three-door version. We certainly hope so, with the internet producing 'Shorty' renders that have us drooling. We know that Mitsubishi has plans for the Pajero family to grow beyond the Triton-based 4WD that will launch in Australia soon. In fact, the brand says that: "In addition to the "Pajero" to be launched this year as a model that embodies the DNA of Mitsubishi Motors-ness, we will introduce additional new models going forward as part of the

The GWM Tank 500 might look like a big and bruising off-road-ready SUV, but it's actually a time machine. How else to describe it? In a world in which the uptake of electrification is booming (so far this year, some 207,000 vehicles with a diesel engine have been sold, compared to 334,000 with some sort of electrification), GWM has fitted its Tank with an all-new and newly developed diesel engine, swimming strongly against the tide in the process. But GWM makes the very solid point that 207,000
Diesel's not done yet! (opens the original)
Read excerpt
GWM says diesel has a huge role to play in Australia's future, citing the 'incredible amount' of its customers demanding diesel in the ute and SUV space. The comments came at the launch of the brand's new 3.0-litre turbodiesel engine, which made its Australian - and global - debut in the Tank 500 and Cannon Alpha this week. The engine in question is the brand's new 3.0-litre four-cylinder turbo-diesel, producing 170kW and an impressive 620Nm. The brand also says that it is one of the few diesel
