One of the Paris Motor Show’s most anticipated models has been unveiled more than a month out from the event; the 2015 Volvo XC90.

The all-new SUV is longer and wider than its predecessor, but weight is down 125kg thanks mainly to a high proportion of ultra-high-strength boron steel. 

After serving for 12 years, the outgoing model will finally be retired in all markets except China, where it will continue as the ‘XC90 Classic’.


Mazda’s new 3 range in Australia is now complete, with the addition of the diesel-powered XD Astina hatch.

The new model uses Mazda’s familiar 2.2 litre diesel engine producing 129kW and 420Nm, matched with a six-speed transmission in either manual or automatic form. 

The XD Astina now tops the Mazda3 range in Australia, priced from $40,230 plus on-road costs.
