Ford’s updated Ranger pickup for 2016 was unveiled in Thailand this week, ahead of a third quarter arrival in Australia.
As expected, the Ranger gets the new ‘face’ of the Ford Everest 4WD and a new ‘chiselled’ bonnet design, but rear styling remains largely unchanged from the current model.
Four engines will be available globally, matched with six-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmissions.
Skoda’s all-new Octavia Scout is now on sale in Australia with a new $32,990 starting price - slashing a handy $7000 from the price of its predecessor.
Two diesel engines are available with 110 or 135kW, matched with manual and automatic transmissions respectively, and a new 132kW petrol engine joins the range for 2015.
As with the previous generation Scout, the new 2015 model picks up a ruggedised styling and protection kit on the outside, including unpainted wheel arch flares, skid plates at both ends and underbody protection.
