CarExpert Choice winner: Best Affordable Mid-Size SUV
The Nissan X-Trail has taken the win as Australia's best affordable mid-size SUV in the inaugural 2025 CarExpert Choice awards.
It beat out the top-selling Toyota RAV4, as well as the Honda CR-V.
Competing in Australia's largest vehicle segment by volume, the X-Trail offers a huge array of variants for buyers to choose from. You can have it with five or seven seats, front- or all-wheel drive, and with either a petrol or e-Power hybrid powertrains.

The latter is quite a different system to those employed by rivals like the RAV4 and CR-V, with the petrol engine serving as a generator instead of sending drive directly to the wheels.
The result is a smooth, EV-like driving experience, while still offering the thrifty fuel economy expected of a mid-size hybrid SUV.
But even the petrol-powered X-Trail offers a good balance of economy and responsiveness, while all X-Trails regardless of powertrain feature a spacious, well-appointed interior.
Throw in the longest warranty on the market – at 10 years or 300,000km – and the X-Trail is impossible to ignore. It's an excellent all-rounder with few compromises, and that's why it takes this trophy.

Volkswagen Golf GTI Edition 50: Race-ready hot hatch on the radar for Australia
Volkswagen Australia has voiced its interest in the most powerful Golf GTI ever, though it's unclear when it might make it into local showrooms. "The Golf GTI Edition 50 is currently under study by Volkswagen Australia for a local introduction, pending technical milestones and a business case for the vehicle," Sam Dabestani, product communications manager for VW Group Australia, told CarExpert. Despite being revealed at last week's 24h Nürburgring endurance race, Germany's largest motorsport event, the 2026 Volkswagen GTI Edition 50 isn't due to hit the European market until 2026 – meaning an Australian-market launch, if confirmed, may not be until the latter stages of next year.

WATCH: Volkswagen Golf GTI Edition 50 sets the fastest Nurburgring lap time by a production VW The GTI Edition 50 is the most powerful production GTI ever, turning up the GTI Clubsport's 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine to a hefty 239kW/420Nm, still sent to the front wheels via a seven-speed DSG dual-clutch auto. VW claims the anniversary edition can dash from 0-100km/h in just 5.5 seconds, 0.1s down on the 221kW GTI Clubsport and 0.4s quicker than the standard 195kW GTI currently on sale in Australia. But, the biggest gains have been made under the skin and on the track. The revised chassis sees the Edition 50 sit 15mm lower than the standard GTI, with revised spring rates, steering and Dynamic Chassis Control systems. European buyers will also be able to option the GTI Performance Package which lowers the ride height by a further 5mm, and adds 235mm Bridgestone Potenza Race semi-slick tyres wrapped around lighter forged alloy wheels as well as stiffer springs for better response and reduced pitching and rolling. Exclusive trimmings include red Queenstown alloy wheels as standard; GTI 50 logos scattered inside and out; black-painted roof and mirrors; Black-to-Tornado Red side stripes; red seatbelts; exclusive seat upholstery combining cloth and synthetic velour; as well as a "newly designed leather sports steering wheel". The optional GTI Performance Package brings the aforementioned black-painted 'Warmenau' forged alloy wheels, and an Akrapovic titanium sports exhaust as pictured above. Volkswagen has confirmed five exterior colours for the GTI Edition 50 abroad, including two exclusive finishes for the 50th anniversary special. Pure White, Moonstone Grey and Grenadilla Black carryover from the standard palette, with Dark Moss Green and Tornado Red offered exclusively on the Edition 50. Tornado Red is a paint synonymous with high-performance Volkswagen vehicles since 1986. Numerous models have worn the distinctive paint colour over the decades, including the Mk2 Golf GTI 16V, the Mk3 Golf VR6 and the Mk7 Golf GTI TCR. Earlier this month, company race driver Benny Leuchter piloted a pre-production Edition 50 to a 7 minute 46.13 second lap around the Nurburgring Nordschleife, making it the fastest production Volkswagen model around the iconic 20.8km German circuit. It beat the 2022 Golf R 20 Years by over a second, the previous VW record holder with a 7 minute 47.31 second time – again with Mr Leuchter at the wheel – despite the R's extra 6kW of power and all-paw traction. For reference, the GTI Edition 50's 7:46:13 Nordschleife record is within striking distance of the 2023 Type R's 7:44:881 and 2019 Megane R.S. Trophy R's 7:45:39 times. The record holder for compact vehicles, however, is the Golf's cousin the Audi RS3 – which holds a 7:33:123 best time.

Volvo XC60 overtakes iconic 240 as brand's best-ever seller
The Volvo XC60 SUV has now surpassed 2.7 million global sales, earning it the title of the "best-selling Volvo ever" and overtaking the iconic Volvo 240 that debuted in the 1970s. Since the original debuted in 2008, the XC60 has been a vehicle of numerous achievements for the now Chinese-owned Swedish brand – including becoming the first global Volvo model to be produced in China, and winning 2018 World Car of the Year. The current second-generation XC60 also was a driving force behind Volvo's plug-in hybrid push, and was Europe's best-selling PHEV in 2024. Hundreds of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now. Get the experts on your side and score a great deal. Browse now. Some 2,685,171 Volvo 240s were produced across a single generation between 1974 and 1993, across the company's Gothenburg and Kalmar factories in Sweden, as well as Ghent in Belgium. The final example rolled off the Gothenburg production line on 5 May, 1993, 15 years before the first Volvo XC60 first went into production. Now, the XC60 is assembled at the Torslanda plant in Gothenburg as well as Chengdu, China. The latter is where the XC60 for Australia has been sourced from for a number of years. While the XC60 and 240 are worlds apart in terms of their design, both have had safety front of mind (or chassis). The Volvo 240 was advanced for its time in offering front and rear crumple zones, as well as a reinforced passenger compartment. It was also among the first cars in the world to incorporate enhanced side impact protection, which later evolved into the company's patented Side-Impact Protection system. The 240's child booster cushion in 1978 was also a world-first innovation. Decades later the XC60 was the first car to standardise low-speed autonomous emergency braking, something that is now commonplace across the industry and around the world. The XC60 also introduced 'Oncoming Lane Mitigation' in 2017 which steers you back into your lane if the vehicle drifts into oncoming traffic. "Growing up in Sweden in the 1980s, the Volvo 240 was the iconic family car – you could spot one in almost every driveway," said Susanne Hägglund, head of Global Offer at Volvo Cars. "Today the XC60 has taken over that position in two ways. Not only as the family favourite, but also becoming our all-time top-seller, which in itself is the ultimate proof point of a successful car." Last year Volvo registered 1905 new XC60s in Australia, down on 2023's figure of 2542. While the most popular Volvo of all time, the XC60 trails the XC40 on today's yearly sales charts – 3142 v 1905 in Australia in 2024. For model year 2026 the Volvo XC60 has been given a facelift, headlined by the implementation of the company's latest user infotainment interface, in addition to subtle design changes and new personalisation options. Prices in Australia have only risen slightly, with the range now starting from $74,990 before on-road costs which is $1000 more than before. A pair of mild-hybrid petrol as well as two plug-in hybrid (PHEV) variants makeup the local lineup, all featuring standard all-wheel drive and an eight-speed automatic transmission.
