| Toyota RAV4 2.0 NRG 3-door
|
| |
The 'old' RAV4 became something of a fashion statement during its six years
on sale. But now it's gone, replaced by an all-new RAV which promises to
be bigger and better than ever. Is this a case of 'style but no substance'
- or is there more to the new RAV4 than meets the eye?

| Vauxhall Frontera 3.2 V6 Sport
|
| |
Take a relatively compact SUV and 'stuff' a whacking great V6 under the bonnet. Yes, Vauxhall has finally squeezed its 3.2-litre V6 powerplant into the three-door Frontera Sport, all for less than £20k. Does the combination work okay?

| Volvo V70 Cross Country 2.4t SE
|
| |
Fans of SUVs might be alarmed, but there's no getting away from reality:
like it or not, the four-wheel drive 'soft-roader' estate is here. And
it looks like it means business, as the latest effort from Volvo - the
V70 Cross Country - confirms

| Daihatsu Fourtrak TDL Limited
|
| |
It's been around longer than the Queen Mother (or feels as though it has),
which makes the Daihatsu Fourtrak one of the oldest 4x4 designs currently
on sale. Does that make it a well-proven workhorse - or an outdated old
dog?

| Toyota Landcruiser Amazon 4.7 VX
|
| |
It's bigger than a Range Rover, it's got more street presence than a limousine and it boasts one of the best V8s around. So why is the top-of-the-range Toyota Landcruiser 4.7 VX such a rare sight here in the UK?
