BMW has unveiled its first pure electric SUV – and its first new electric vehicle in seven years. The BMW iX3 midsize SUV is due on sale in Europe later this year before it arrives in Australian showrooms mid-2021.

2021 Ford Bronco revealed, still no closer to Australia

Ford has finally revealed its new Bronco four-wheel-drive and SUV range, with two-door and four-door off-roaders joined by the smaller Bronco Sport designed as a more family-friendly option. Despite the broad appeal of these models, none are planned for Australia as they are intended to be built in left-hand-drive only at this stage. Although the Ford Bronco was last sold in the US in 1996, the modern version has design elements from the original model sold in the US from 1966 to 1977.
