Kia's newest electric vehicle is its most affordable, but as you'll see, value-for-money is what marks it as a disruptor.
Novated drivers could get behind the wheel of the Korean-built EV3 from as little as $211 weekly^ for the expectation-busting entry grade Air Standard Range (or from $225^ for Air Long Range); the mid-range Earth from $245^ per week; and from just $260 weekly^ for the top-level GT-Line. 

Cocooned in the cabin, the sci-fi design aesthetic is boundary pushing, yet also has you feeling comfy and at ease. The entire range is impressively spec'd, from a seamless panoramic digital display of 12.3" + 5" + 12.3" for driving info/climate control/infotainment, to an extensive list of active safety features such as Highway Drive Assist with Lane Change Assist, Smart Cruise Control, and Safe Exit Warning. Over-the-Air capability sends software and map updates straight to the vehicle; thoughtful Kia touches abound, such as adjustable luggage floor height.

The Air Long Range lasts the longest distance at a class-leading 604km. Meanwhile, the Earth variant offers a surprising 1000kg braked towing capacity as an urban SUV. Otherwise, it's tough to go past the GT-Line's plushness for the price point.

There's no doubt EV3's a crowd-pleaser.

Australia's most popular large SUV has added a permanent new variant to its line-up. A spin-off from Everest Sport, the Tremor is made for those keen to lean more towards the tough stuff. It's shaking things up (sorry) by introducing a powerhouse 3.0L V6 turbo diesel engine, a new suspension setup, additional ground clearance, and the widest track width of the Everest range. 

Other off-road-ready improvements include General Grabber AT3 tyres, underbody protection, Rock Crawl Drive mode, and a tougher exterior. However, its comfortable cabin reveals it's really a softie on the inside. You still get all the Everest’s family-friendly features for everyday practicality including 3-row seating and a great tech and safety suite.

If you're ready to rumble in an Everest with more power, more roar, and more roadtrip capability, make your move – we're predicting these will sell like hotcakes!

Volkswagen has upgraded the CityLife base variant of its popular T-Roc small SUV for 2025 with increased standard safety and convenience tech, meaning it’s anything but basic when it comes to inclusions.

Side Assist double-checks your blind spots once you indicate, warning if there are any cars behind you and if necessary, invoking Lane Assist to prevent collision. Proactive Occupant Protection System kicks in to tighten seatbelts and roll windows up if a possible hazard is detected. Rear traffic alert makes reversing far more reassuring. 

T-Roc's existing appeal includes its contrasting gloss black roof and door mirrors (stylish) and shape (classic VW cool), with excellent ride height for hopping in and out with ease.

For value and versatility in a small SUV, the street-smart T-Roc CityLife is worth a place on your list.

Audi Australia announced that the upgraded A3 features the highest level of equipment on the iconic A3 model ever. It retains all the desirable qualities of the A3 model line – which is now in its 30th year – with some dynamic improvements based on Aussie driver feedback.

A sleeker, athletic high-gloss body reflects a sportier driving experience. The performance theme is capped off by sport front seats with four-way lumbar support and heating. Further cabin upgrades include a larger virtual cockpit screen (12.3 inch) and enriched infotainment system.

As a mild hybrid, it continues to be powered by a highly efficient 1.5L turbocharged petrol engine with 48V electric assistance. This allows you to coast on the highway to conserve fuel and reduces fuel consumption even further by capturing braking energy to boost acceleration from low speeds.

The A3 enhancements result in an even more value-packed premium small car to be taken very seriously.

This hot hatch has gotten even hotter.

Instantly noticeable up front is the more angular design, from headlights to grille to lower bumper; the rear has also been re-styled for presence, and it’s not purely aesthetic. The body changes have grown its length and height, increasing boot space by 80 litres. BMW also states that body rigidity, shock absorption and steering have been bolstered.

A single curved panel now seamlessly integrates a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster and 10.7-inch infotainment touchscreen. Standard luxe features include heated seats, a powered tailgate that’s so practical you’ll wonder how you lived without it, and automated independent parking (learning to find and leave its parking space after you execute it once). Travelling with kids this Easter? Keep them entertained (or bribe them to behave) with inbuilt games that can be played when parked.

One for seekers of compact comfort and convenience – with a side of the delightful.
