The 2026 Polestar 2 Standard Range is an electric fastback that suits Australian buyers wanting a stylish EV with practical everyday capability, offering 554km of range and a 407-litre boot for real-world usefulness. Its standout strength is the combination of genuine performance (200kW/490Nm) with genuinely low running costs (~$1287 annually) and a respectable 5-star ANCAP safety rating for peace of mind. One thing to consider: as a single-motor rear-wheel-drive layout, it lacks the all-weather traction advantages of dual-motor variants, which matters if you regularly drive in wet conditions or tow the maximum 1500kg.

The 2026 Polestar 2 Long Range is a sleek electric fastback that suits buyers after premium Scandinavian design with practical range. It'll get you 659km between charges, which is seriously impressive for daily driving and road trips. The main thing to consider is that the single motor RWD setup might feel a bit less planted than AWD alternatives when pushing hard in wet conditions.

The 2026 Polestar 2 Long Range Dual Motor is a premium electric fastback designed for buyers seeking a stylish, practical EV with genuine long-distance capability-its 596km range and AWD powertrain make it genuinely suited to Australian road trips and varied conditions. Its standout strength is the combination of 310kW power, 740Nm torque and a 5-star ANCAP safety rating, delivering both exhilarating performance and family-friendly security in one package. One thing to consider is that at 2108kg, it's considerably heavier than conventional petrol equivalents, which may influence handling dynamics and tyre wear despite the single-speed gearbox's efficiency advantage.

The 2026 Polestar 2 Long Range Dual Motor is an electric fastback that suits Australian buyers wanting premium performance without petrol costs, delivering 350kW and 740Nm through all-wheel drive with a claimed 568km range per charge. Its standout strength is the combination of rapid acceleration and practicality-you get genuine five-seat comfort with a 407-litre boot and the ability to tow 1500kg, plus 5-star ANCAP safety and relatively modest annual running costs around $1287. One thing to consider: with a 2105kg kerb weight, you'll want reliable home or workplace charging infrastructure, as the single-speed fixed gearbox means efficiency is heavily dependent on your driving pattern and access to charging.

Mazda CX-5, BMW X3, MG S6 EV and Cupra Formentor All Score Five Stars With ANCAP

ANCAP hands maximum ratings to four family SUVs in a single sweep under its outgoing 2023-25 protocols. The all-new Mazda CX-5 posts a 93 per cent vulnerable road user score, the highest of any car tested in the entire 2023-25 protocol era. The MG S6 EV tops the batch for adult occupant protection at 92 per cent. The updated Cupra Formentor five-star result covers cars built from December 2025 onwards but excludes both the five-cylinder VZ5 and any four-cylinder ordered with the Extreme Package (the Sabelt bucket seats stop the centre airbag from fitting). BMW X3 (petrol G45) also confirmed at five stars, ratings apply to the current on-sale shape. Everything here sits under the older protocols, the tougher 2026 rules kicked in earlier this month and the BMW iX3 has become the first car to clear them.

Land Rover Recalls 20,985 Defender, Discovery and Range Rover SUVs in Australia Over Driver Airbag Clock Spring Fault

Jaguar Land Rover Australia has filed recall REC-006645 covering 20,985 Defender, Discovery and Range Rover models built 2019 to 2026, the local slice of a 250,857-unit global campaign. The driver airbag clock spring connector can suffer fretting corrosion over time, gradually lifting resistance in the airbag circuit to the point the airbag may fail to deploy in a crash. JLR says the SRS warning lamp illuminates roughly 300 to 400 miles (480 to 640 kilometres) before the fault reaches non-deployment territory, so the car is drivable and no stop-drive has been ordered. The fix is a short retailer visit: a technician exposes the clock spring connector and applies a protective lubricant gel to seal the pins, no parts replaced, free of charge. Range Rover Sport, Range Rover Velar and Discovery Sport are not on this campaign. JLR is posting owners individually and Land Rover Australia is taking calls on 1800 625 642. VIN lookup lives at landrover.com.au/ownership/vin-recall.html and the recall record is REC-006645 on vehiclerecalls.gov.au.

2026 XPeng G6 Final Pricing: Four Variants From $51,800, $3,000 Cheaper Than The Outgoing Car

XPeng ANZ opens the updated G6 order book on the factory-direct switchover. Standard Range $51,800, Long Range $56,800, AWD Performance $63,800 and AWD Performance Black Edition $66,800, all before on-road costs. That is a $3,000 cut across the equivalent outgoing variants at the same moment XPeng adds 800V silicon carbide architecture, 5C ultra-fast charging with a 451kW DC peak, LFP chemistry and a longer factory-backed warranty. WLTP range up to 525km on the Long Range, 480km on the Standard Range and 510km on both AWD variants. Peak DC is quoted at 451kW for a 10 to 80 per cent stop in about 12 minutes, adding up to 427km of range in a 15-minute pause. AWD Performance runs a 358kW/660Nm dual-motor stack for a claimed 4.13-second 0 to 100km/h, and the Black Edition adds gloss black paint, black-finish 20-inch alloys, smoked-black badging and black brake calipers over the standard Performance. Cabin standard kit spans a 15.6-inch central touchscreen, 10.25-inch driver display, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, dual wireless phone chargers, 18-speaker XOPERA audio, Nappa leather, heated ventilated and massaging front seats, and a Nvidia Orin-X XPILOT stack. Warranty steps up to 7-year unlimited-km for private buyers on cars sold from 1 June 2026, with 8-year 160,000km battery cover. Orders open now, deliveries during July 2026. ANCAP rating is a carry-over 5-star from the pre-update Euro NCAP score, no re-test announced yet.
