Got a tiny driveway but lots of baggage? These small SUVs offer properly big boots. With driveways, garages and streets shrinking or disappearing altogether, inner-city dwellers increasingly want the maximum amount of interior space within the smallest possible footprint. The popularity of SUVs, particularly among family buyers, has meant hatchbacks have fallen out of favour as shoppers prioritise cargo space, head room, flexible seating options and improved visibility. RELATED: What year of Toyota RAV4 is best to buy used? RELATED: What are some reliable used cars under $5000? So what happens if you need the compact footprint of a hatchback with the boot space of an SUV? Here, we’ve collated the small SUVs with the biggest boot spaces. What constitutes ‘big’, you ask?

Chinese electric-car giant BYD’s next two models for Australia – the city-sized Dolphin and larger Seal – are due closer to the end of this year than previously forecast.

2023 Toyota HiLux GR Sport imagined with this artist impression

Gambar
The new flagship of the Toyota HiLux range was caught on camera in Thailand late last year wearing little disguise. Now we have created an artist impression of what it could look like. Last month we got our first look at a camouflaged version of the 2023 Toyota HiLux GR Sport , the flagship ute set to replace the range-topping Toyota HiLux Rugged X in Australian showrooms later this year. Now we have an artist impression of the 2023 Toyota HiLux GR Sport (pictured above) that aims to remove some of the camouflage of the test vehicle caught on camera in Thailand mid-December 2022. As previously reported, although other versions of the Toyota HiLux GR Sport have been launched in Europe, South Africa and Japan over the past year or so, the 2023 edition appears to be the most aggressive yet. The latest Toyota HiLux GR Sport is set to come to Australia for the first time, though timing of the international unveiling and showroom arrivals are yet to be announced. A series ...
