🚙🏕️ Planning the big lap with the van in tow? You don't need a brand-new 4WD to do it safely – $40k on the used market buys serious towing muscle. 🇦🇺

We've picked six proven used tow vehicles: the Isuzu D-MAX 3.0L and Ford Ranger 3.2L (both 3,500kg braked), the Ford Everest 3.2L for family comfort, the seven-seat Isuzu MU-X, the Toyota Prado 150 for remote Outback touring, and the great-value Mitsubishi Pajero Sport (3,100kg).

Our top all-rounder? The D-MAX 3.0L and its MU-X wagon twin – a truck-derived 4JJ1 diesel with real long-term durability. But the right pick depends on your van's actual loaded weight, not the brochure.

💡 Tip: A 3,500kg tow rating doesn't mean you can tow 3,500kg with a full ute – check GVM and GCM, then confirm your real numbers at a public weighbridge.

🛻🔧 Your ute is your office, your toolbox and often the family car too – so which one actually earns its keep on an Aussie worksite? 🇦🇺

We've compared five of the best dual-cab utes for tradies: the Ford Ranger (184kW/600Nm V6, $1,596 five-year capped servicing), the Toyota HiLux (proven toughness and strong resale), the Isuzu D-MAX (240mm clearance and a 6-year/150,000km warranty), the Kia Tasman (1,000kg+ payload and a 7-year unlimited km warranty) and the GWM Cannon (under $40k drive-away).

All five carry 5-star ANCAP ratings and tow up to 3,500kg braked (2.4L variants on the Cannon) – the real differences come down to payload, servicing costs, cabin comfort and warranty cover.

💡 Tip: Load up your tools, canopy and trailer on paper first – tools plus a heavy trailer can quickly push you past legal GVM and GCM limits.

🚙 Petrol bills climbing? A wave of new plug-in hybrids is heading to Australia by 2027 🇦
With the average Aussie driving about 37km a day, a PHEV can handle the school run and commute on cheap home electricity, with 60–140km of pure EV range, and still have a petrol engine for the long highway trips.

Coming soon: the Toyota RAV4 PHEV with around 200–220kW and AWD, the Omoda 7 with 255kW and ~90km of EV range, the BYD Shark 6 plug-in ute with V2L power in the tray, plus the GWM Haval H6 PHEV, Skoda Kodiaq PHEV and Cupra Formentor VZe.

💡 Tip: A PHEV only saves you money if you plug it in. Most charge overnight on a regular 10A socket, and the FBT exemption for PHEVs has ended, so base your sums on real fuel savings.

🚙⚡ Australia's best hybrid SUVs for 2026 – which one belongs in your driveway? 🇦🇺

High fuel prices have pushed hybrid SUVs to the top of the sales charts, and there's never been more choice.

The Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid brings seven seats and a huge cabin, while the Toyota RAV4 Hybrid remains the benchmark for low running costs and strong resale value.
Want to commute on electricity?
The BYD Sealion 6 offers up to 92km of EV range from $42,990 + ORC, and the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV adds a seven-seat option with up to 84km of EV range. Prefer an EV feel without plugging in?

Nissan's X-Trail e-Power drives its wheels with electric motors at all times.

💡 Tip: Only buy a plug-in hybrid if you can charge it regularly – otherwise a regular hybrid like the RAV4 or Sportage Hybrid is the simpler, lighter choice.

⚡ Best Electric Cars in Australia: Top EV Picks for 2026 🇦🇺
Thinking about going electric?
Lower running costs, better charging and more choice than ever make 2026 a great time to switch.

From the budget-friendly BYD Atto 2 (from $31,990 + ORC) and family-ready Kia EV3 to the long-range Tesla Model Y, the premium Zeekr 7X and the thrilling Hyundai IONIQ 5 N, here are the EVs worth a test drive.

💡 Real-world range is often 10–20% below the official figure on the highway or with the air-con on, so buy with some buffer.

🔌 Hybrid, plug-in hybrid or full EV – which one actually suits the way you drive? 🇦🇺
Electrified cars are now a huge slice of new car sales in Australia, but the right choice comes down to one thing: how (and where) you'll charge. A traditional hybrid charges itself and needs no change to your routine.

A plug-in hybrid gives you 40–100km of electric driving with a petrol backup. A full EV offers the lowest running costs – if you can charge at home or work.

Got a driveway and a short daily commute? A PHEV like the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV or BYD Sealion 6 can cover the average ~35km Aussie commute fuel-free. Apartment living or street parking? A traditional hybrid is the easy, low-risk pick – and hybrids are holding their resale value exceptionally well.

💡 Tip: If you buy a PHEV, plug it in every night. Run it on petrol only and you're hauling a heavy battery around – fuel economy can end up worse than a regular petrol car.

⚡ Upcoming Electric Cars in Australia: the new EVs landing in 2026 & 2027 🇦🇺

The next wave of EVs is almost here, and it's not just city commuters any more. There's more choice than ever, from the affordable MG 4 FWD and Mazda 6e (under $55k before on-roads) to the 604km Nissan Leaf.

Families can look at the Smart #5 (up to 590km range) and BMW's new iX3. Enthusiasts get the 478kW Hyundai Ioniq 6 N and the Genesis GV60 Magma. Need room for everyone? The six-seat Cadillac Vistiq arrives in early 2027.

Many of these new models use 800-volt tech, which cuts a typical 10–80% fast charge to under 20 minutes.

💡 Thinking of a novated lease? The EV Fringe Benefits Tax exemption lets you pay for the car, insurance, tyres and charging from pre-tax income.

🚗 Upcoming Cars Australia: New Models & SUVs Arriving Soon 🇦🇺

Thinking about your next car?
It might be worth the wait. Australian showrooms are filling up with new hybrids, plug-in hybrids and EVs, and some of the country's best-sellers are getting all-new generations.
From the Toyota RAV4 PHEV and refreshed Mazda CX-5 to the BYD Atto 3, Kia Seltos Hybrid, BYD Shark 6, LandCruiser 300 Hybrid and Leapmotor B05, here are the new models and SUVs worth watching. GWM, Jaecoo, XPeng and Nissan are all bringing new metal too.

💡 Looking at an EV or PHEV? FBT exemptions can make a novated lease a smart way to fund it.
