Hyundai Santa Fe Calligraphy review NZ

As you guys are probably well aware, there’s a new Santa Fe on its way (Hyundai NZ have yet to tell us exactly when), however, in the meantime, the brand has created a new range-topper for their flagship SUV, it’s called the Calligraphy edition and it’s rewriting luxury.

Dynamic Duel – The new BMW M2, feat. the OG M2

Just in case you managed to avoid me talking about this, I’m a happy owner of a first gen BMW M2. It’s an awesome car and I won’t shut up about it, and will definitely use that in my favour if it means a bit more seat time when  its new gen has just been […]

Lexus Electric Avenue – Lexus RZ450e Core Review

Arriving at a party first can be awkward at times. The social festivities don’t often quite get into full swing until a good chunk of the invited guests put in an appearance. Therefore, sometimes it is best to be “fashionably late” as you can assess how the other guests are and then you can swoop […]

Grand union – Opel Grandland PHEV review

Opel Grandland PHEV review

With one of our leading team members, Hazza, getting hitched to his beautiful bride, Julianna, in Tauranga, we took the opportunity to take the Opel Grandland PHEV on a roadie.

Lexus RZ review NZ

The all-new Lexus RZ is an all-electric model spawned from the RX nameplate. According to Lexus it stands for ‘Radiant Z-axis/Zero’ which signifies being both ‘shining’ and ‘the axis along which values of z are measured’.

Lex-tended and Lex-urious UX – 2024 Lexus UX 300e Limited review

2024 Lexus UX300e review NZ

The UX 300e, Lexus’ first all-electric model has been given a refresh, including more range and more safety, but as expected, it retains all its Lexus luxury and refinement.
