Australian 4x4 enthusiasts and those seeking to accommodate up to six passengers now have the choice of a new supremely capable SUV offering rugged looks, luxurious specification and strong performance on- and off-road with the launch of the all-new GX 550. Marking the first time for the GX nameplate in Australia, the latest Lexus off-roader slots in between the family-sized five-seater RX and top-of-the-line LX. GX arrives in Australia in three generously specified grades, including the debut of Overtrail for maximum capability over the most challenging off-road conditions. The all-new GX 550 range opens from $116,000 plus on-road costs for the seven-seat Luxury grade which brings with it a high level of standard specification, signature Lexus omotenashi touches and powerful performance from its 3.5-litre twin-turbo V6 petrol engine. Overtrail is the middle grade and is priced from $122,250 plus on-roads, with off-road focused enhancements including unique exterior features, all-terrain tyres and – in a first for Lexus – Electronic-Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System (eKDSS) for the perfect balance of off-road driveability and on-road handling stability. Topping the GX range is the opulent Sports Luxury grade from $128,200 plus on-roads, signified as the flagship variant with lavish appointments including 22-inch alloy wheels, semi-aniline leather accented upholstery and premium Mark Levinson®3 audio system. Lexus Australia Chief Executive John Pappas said the addition of the GX to the luxury lifestyle brand’s expanding lineup will meet the needs of customers keen to explore the rugged outdoors.

Following the launch of the CX-60, the all-new Mazda CX-80 is the second of two new models for Europe from the company’s Large Product group. It is the most spacious car in Mazda’s European line-up and will become the new flagship for Mazda in the region. In this latest evolution of Mazda’s unique Kodo design approach, the designers have focused on the elegance and purity of a minimalist Japanese aesthetic, which removes all unnecessary elements, achieved through the unique ‘hands-on’ approach of Mazda’s designers and master craftsmen, whose goal is to produce cars that could only have been Crafted in Japan. At almost five metres long and with a wheelbase of over three metres, the all-new Mazda CX-80 is longer, higher, and has a significantly longer wheelbase than the popular CX-60. In conjunction with two-fold-flat third row seats, the CX-80 will be available with a choice of three second row configurations, including the choice of two separate captain seats combined with either a centre console or a walk through to the third row. The all-new Mazda CX-80 features technology appropriate for the flagship of Mazda’s European model range and includes three new features: a new Alexa in-car voice control, a new hybrid navigation system combining the advantages of both offline and online services, and a new Trailer Hitch View which uses the centre display and advanced graphics to help position the vehicle relative to a trailer.

As the world continues its slow and fragmented march to carbon neutrality, more and more large-capacity engines are facing extinction. This is why most car enthusiasts celebrate whatever large-capacity engine remains on the market. SUVs, however, have a slightly longer shelf life due to these vehicles being subject to less stringent emissions regulations than passenger cars.

The striking design of the new Opel Frontera makes it stand out immediately. As the first production model, every variant of the Frontera proudly bears the new Opel Blitz emblem in the centre of the Opel Vizor brand fascia. Prominent wheel arches and sills as well as the eye-catching C-pillar underline the robust character. The modern looks with a focus on the essentials continue seamlessly in the interior. The driver and passengers look at a cockpit with a newly designed steering wheel and two 10-inch widescreens. The Frontera also offers many practical features as standard, including the innovative smartphone station. Suitability for journeys is a top priority for the new Frontera. At the front, the driver and front passenger can, if desired, sit on the new patented Intelli-Seats with a slot in the middle that relieves pressure on the tailbone. More than 450 litres of luggage can be stored in the boot; with the seats folded down even up to 1,600 litres. And those who want to spend the night outdoors can simply order the new Frontera with optional roof rails and a roof tent with ladder specially designed for the SUV. After arriving at its destination, the Frontera can shoulder up to 240 kilogrammes on its roof.
