The July 2026 issue of NZ Autocar is now on sale
Honda Prelude
The Prelude returns after 25 years. We drive it on challenging roads in Adelaide.
Porsche 911 turbo S
The sun doesn’t always shine when you have a special car to check out. As was the case when we had the latest Porsche 911 Turbo S. And yet the inclement weather highlighted how usable this sportster is.
Subaru Outback Premium
The Outback returns for another round, still family-friendly and capable. But it looks a bit different. Is it still likeable?
Kia EV9 GT
Kia has updated its EV9, the line up featuring a new GT version. It’s a sports luxury model with lots of power, premium features and a big price tag. Is it all worth it?
Kia Seltos
Kia has remade its Seltos, adding hybrid power, refinement, spec and striking new looks. But will it all come at too high a price?
MG4 Urban Essence 54
MG has quietly built one of the best small cars on sale, and it has done it by going back to basics.
Audi Q3 TFSI
The latest Audi Q3 is a little larger, more luxurious and comes with three distinct powertrain choices. So what’s the pick?
Hyundai Palisade Calligraphy hybrid
The Palisade continues to push Hyundai further into the premium sphere. Does it justify its elevated price tag?
GAC Emzoom vs Nissan Qashqai Ti-L
Compact SUVs are popular vehicles, and you can pick some of them up for cheap. You can also spend quite a bit on others. Here we compare two similar SUVs, one costing half as much as the other. Are either worth it?
LDV Terron 9 Premium
LDV’s main ute offering is now the Terron 9, sitting above the old T60. It’s a much improved option in the ute market, and a much bigger one too. But is it all a little too large?
KGM Torres Hybrid Ultimate
KGM adds another variant to its Torres range. Is this new hybrid the pick of them?
BAIC X55
It’s another entrant for the ever popular mid-size SUV ranks. Is this one worthy of your consideration?
Volvo XC60 B5 Ultra
If you have a little extra to spend on your next SUV, the XC60 is one to have on your list.
GAC M8 Master Luxury
Big people movers aren’t so popular here. Is the GAC M8 Master about to change perceptions?
Leapmotor B10 REEV Life
The B10 line-up grows with the addition of the range extender version. Is it better than the BEV?
BYD Shark 6 Ururoa
We wrap up our Shark 6 build as it goes on the block.
