The 2026 MG HS Vibe is a compact petrol SUV that delivers impressive value for budget-conscious families, offering a five-seat cabin with 507 litres of boot space and genuine practicality backed by a full 10-year warranty. Its standout strength is running cost efficiency, combining a frugal 1.5-litre engine that consumes just 6.5L/100km with an estimated $2688 annual running cost-among the lowest in the segment. One thing to consider is the modest 125kW power output, which means this front-wheel-drive auto will feel leisurely rather than responsive, though the 250Nm torque keeps highway cruising manageable.

The 2026 MG HS Excite is a compact petrol SUV that suits budget-conscious families wanting a practical five-seater with genuine safety credentials, backed by a 5-star ANCAP rating and 10-year warranty. Its standout strength is the combination of reasonable fuel economy at 6.5L/100km with a respectable 1800kg towing capacity, plus a 507-litre boot that handles family gear without compromise. The main consideration is its modest 1.5-litre turbocharged engine producing 125kW-adequate for suburban driving but worth test-driving if you frequently tackle motorway merging or loaded towing situations.

Its standout strength is the comprehensive 10-year warranty package paired with a 5-star ANCAP safety rating and relatively modest annual running costs of around $2278, making it one of the more affordable hybrid options in the mid-size SUV segment. One consideration is the front-wheel-drive setup and 1.5-litre petrol engine, which means performance feels modest compared to larger rivals, though the 507-litre boot and 1800kg towing capacity handle most family duties competently.

The 2026 MG HS Essence Hybrid+ is a compact petrol-hybrid SUV that suits buyers wanting fuel efficiency and low running costs, with genuine credentials including 85km of pure electric range and a claimed consumption of just 5.2L/100km. Its standout strength is the combination of that 85km EV capability for daily commuting, a 507-litre boot for practicality, and a 10-year warranty that's genuinely competitive in the market. One thing to consider: at 1677kg, it's on the lighter side for this class, which benefits efficiency but means you'll want to verify how payload and towing (1800kg) suit your specific needs before purchase.

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.

2027 Volvo EX90 Single Motor Priced for Australia: $106,990 Base Grade Ducks Under the Incoming EV Luxury Car Tax Threshold

Volvo adds a rear-drive entry to its seven-seat electric flagship. The EX90 Plus Single Motor is $106,990 before on-roads, $18,000 cheaper than the Plus Twin Motor ($124,990) and $28,000 under the Ultra Twin Motor Performance ($134,990). It deletes the front motor for a single 245kW/480Nm rear unit (rear-wheel drive), swaps the 106kWh battery for a smaller 92kWh pack, and drops WLTP range to 479km (from 521km), 0-100km/h to 6.8s (from 5.5s) and braked towing to 1500kg (from 2200kg), though the smaller battery DC charges 10-80% two minutes quicker at 22 minutes. Equipment mirrors the Plus Twin Motor (14.5-inch touchscreen, four-zone climate, heated front seats, 20-inch wheels, 14-speaker audio). The $106,990 price slots under the new $120,000 electric-car Luxury Car Tax threshold due from 1 July 2027 (up from $91,661), making it LCT-free from then while the twin-motors stay taxed. MY27 also deletes the EX90's roof LiDAR. On sale now, Australian deliveries September-October 2026.
