KIA CERATO IS WELL-EQUIPPED AND KEENLY PRICED

Launched here in 2004, the small Cerato hatch or sedan has been one of Kia’s biggest sellers, often sharing the Australian sales podium alongside Toyota Corolla, Hyundai i30 and Mazda3. The current, fourth generation, Cerato has been on sale here since 2018 with an upgrade in 2021 adding new tech features as well as the fresh new Kia logo. The next generation Cerato is due early in 2025 but it will be given a name change, adopting the global name of K4. Let’s hope that Kia doesn’t face the same… Read more

TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID SL

  By ,

Before discussing the Camry Hybrid, it should be pointed out that you can’t actually buy one right now. With a two-year waiting list due to production delays, Toyota Australia has been forced to “pause” orders for Camry hybrid variants due to extraordinary demand. A new ninth generation Camry was unveiled in the United States in November, so it will be interesting to see how Toyota plays this one.

  By ,

Audis come in standard (A) and high-performance (S and RS) variants. Our road test vehicle over the last week has been an Audi RS 3 35TFSI sedan.

2022 AUDI S3 SEDAN

  By ,

Audi is an upmarket German marque that produces a wide range of vehicles in many different body types and sizes. The ‘3’ is the smallest in dimensions and the Audi S3 is the sportier version of the A3. It’s aimed at those who are looking for more prestige than they would get from a Volkswagen Golf, though the Audi does share quite a few out of sight – and some not-quite out of sight – parts of its slightly more mundane brother. STYLING The exterior of has been updated for… Read more
