2025 Tesla Model Y gets range boost, new colour in Australia
Australia's top-selling electric vehicle (EV), the Tesla Model Y, now has a longer claimed range in Long Range guise, while there are now six exterior finishes to choose from. The dual-motor Long Range version of the popular mid-size electric SUV now has a claimed 600km of range under the WLTP cycle, up from 551km. The base single-motor RWD remains unchanged at 466km. Tesla Korea certification data shared by Tsla Chan on X shows the Model Y Long Range's battery capacity has been expanded from 81.65kWh to 84.85kWh. Hundreds of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now. Get the experts on your side and score a great deal. Browse now. Previous overseas reports have indicated the Model Y Long Range had moved to new 2170 battery cells from LG Energy Solution. Performance figures are unchanged, with the RWD still doing the 0-100km/h dash in a claimed 5.9 seconds, and the Long Range in 4.8 seconds. There's also a new exterior paint colour for the Model Y… or rather, a new shade. Diamond Black is now a $1500 option for all Model Y variants. Some of the Model Y's other exterior finishes have also become cheaper. Pearl White Multi-Coat remains the standard finish, with Glacier Blue now costing $1500 and Stealth Grey costing $1900. Both previously cost $2300. Quicksilver and Ultra Red remain $2600 options. The Model Y range opens at $58,900 before on-road costs for the RWD, with the Long Range priced at $68,900 plus on-roads. The refreshed Performance flagship has yet to be revealed. Tesla's only SUV on sale in Australia recently received a substantial upgrade, referred to as the Juniper update. This brought new front- and rear-end styling and revised suspension, plus a raft of interior upgrades including new heated and ventilated front seats, a 15.4-inch infotainment touchscreen, colour-adjustable ambient lighting, heated and power-reclining rear seats, and an 8.0-inch rear entertainment screen. The update has helped arrest a sales decline for the ageing Model Y, and to the end of June Tesla has delivered 10,431 examples of its SUV in Australia this year. That puts it well ahead of the BYD Sealion 7, 3756 deliveries of which make it Australia's second best-selling EV, as well as other rivals like the Kia EV5 (2765) and Polestar 4 (676).

Hyundai: More petrol N performance cars coming, and they'll be affordable
Hyundai may have just revealed its second electric N performance vehicle, but that doesn't mean petrol power is dead at its go-fast division. 'We are not limiting ourselves into EV,' Hyundai N boss Joon Park told UK outlet Car. 'But this is some kind of tendency after we launched Ioniq 5 N, because Ioniq 5 N was a huge message for the entire car industry. And a lot of people thought, and think, that Hyundai N is going towards only EV. It's not true. 'We are not focusing on EV only. We are not. I'm not the person who actually really likes the EV. I've always liked the smell and the sound and all those kinds of race cars.' Hundreds of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now. Get the experts on your side and score a great deal. Browse now. Supplied Credit: CarExpert Hyundai has discontinued its petrol-powered i20 N and i30 N hot hatches in Europe, but they continue to be produced for our market. Moreover, Hyundai also has the i30 Sedan N – aka Elantra N and Avante N – for markets such as Australia, South Korea and North America. The i20 N and i30 N may be dead in Europe, but they're reportedly set to be reborn, with Car reporting word from Mr Park that his engineers are working on a hybrid-powered replacement for the hot hatches. They'll still be accessible to punters, too, unlike the Ioniq 5 N, which is more than twice as expensive in Australia as even the priciest i30 N. Supplied Credit: CarExpert 'Hyundai N has to be reachable. We actually want to play with our friend groups, with a proper-priced car and reachable price cars – we are not talking about a luxury exotic car,' he said. 'We are talking about the Hyundai N level. In that case, where should we go? Where nobody else is existing anymore, except for [the VW Golf] GTI.' Hyundai axed the i20 N and i30 N in Europe in 2024, and at the time said this was 'in line with our commitment to offering a zero-tailpipe-emission lineup to our customers by 2035 and to operating 100 per cent carbon neutrally by 2045'. 'The discontinuation of i20 and i30 N was a disaster for me. But it takes time to have a new one,' said Mr Park. Supplied Credit: CarExpert He suggested it would be harder work getting an i20 N replacement approved given that, typically, the smaller the vehicle the smaller the profit margins. He said the turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol engine that powers the i30 N won't appear in a successor model… at least not in Europe. 'I'm responsible for the global market. Europe is not going to be easy,' he said. 'The 2.0-litre turbo engine for 280PS [206kW]… That cannot exist anymore based on the current regulation and future regulation.' Supplied Credit: CarExpert Whether Hyundai could keep the 1.6-litre turbo-petrol engine of the i20 N alive with electrification is unclear. A version of this engine already features in hybrid crossover SUVs from the brand such as the Tucson and Santa Fe. Hyundai has never offered a hybrid N model. It now has three separate petrol-powered N models – the i20 N, i30 N, and i30 Sedan N/Elantra N/Avante N – as well as two electric ones in the Ioniq 5 N and the just-revealed Ioniq 6 N. The Korean automaker is planning a significant expansion in hybrid sales. Per a plan announced last August, it wants to sell 1.33 million hybrids annually by 2028, an increase over 40 per cent compared with its global sales plan from the previous year. To that end, it's launching a new 2.5-litre turbo hybrid powertrain that's debuting in the next-generation Palisade large SUV. Supplied Credit: CarExpert Hyundai has already confirmed the i30 Sedan N will move to a 2.5-litre turbo four, up from a 2.0-litre. That appears to open up the possibility of hybrid power for that model, though the sports sedan has never been sold in Europe. In addition to conventional hybrids, Hyundai also offers plug-in hybrids (though none are sold here presently) and is rolling out extended-range electric vehicles (EREVs) that incorporate a petrol engine used as a generator. It's unclear whether Hyundai would develop N vehicles with this technology, or with a hydrogen fuel-cell powertrain like the retro-styled N Vision 74 concept. Development of Hyundai N vehicles is centred in Europe, along with the new Magma performance vehicle line for luxury brand Genesis. 'There's been so much innovation at Rüsselsheim and some major investment. Our new building opened a couple of months ago, and it gives us so much more possibility, and allows us to develop EVs,' Hyundai Motor Europe Technical Center managing director Tyrone Johnson told Car. Supplied Credit: CarExpert 'We're going to be developing our own products in Europe. All [Genesis] Magma products will be developed in Europe, for the world – nothing will be developed in Korea.' Australia is a major market for Hyundai N vehicles. While VFACTS industry sales reports bundle the i30 N with the rest of the i30 lineup, we know exactly how many i20 Ns are sold here because Hyundai doesn't offer any non-N i20 variants. To the end of June, Hyundai has delivered 723 examples of the i20 N in Australia this year. That's more than the Skoda Fabia (164) and Volkswagen Polo (401), both of which offer a wide range of variants. MORE: Explore the Hyundai i20 showroom MORE: Explore the Hyundai i30 showroom

V8-powered Toyota GT Concepts preview new sports cars for track and road
Toyota has revealed both road and race versions of its new flagship performance coupe wrapped in heavy camouflage at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in the UK on the weekend. No official images or information has been released by the Japanese automaker, which used Goodwood to show off a pair of disguised V8-powered sports cars, including a hardcore race car that could wear Toyota badges and a road-going version that may be badged as the Lexus LFR. One looks like a worthy showroom successor to the Ferrari-rivaling, limited-edition Lexus LFA hypercar, the other a track-ready GT3 version of the next Toyota GR Supra that's already spied in testing multiple times in Europe. Hundreds of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now. Get the experts on your side and score a great deal. Browse now. While both were driven up the famous British hill climb in a series of demonstration runs, Toyota was coy on the details – including the auto brand/s, model name/s and engine/s of the low-slung, wide-bodied sports cars. At this stage Toyota and its luxury brand say they remain "brand agnostic" about the new flagship super coupe, but at its Goodwood exhibit – attended by CarExpert – Toyota labelled the cars as 'Toyota GT Concept' and 'Toyota GT Racing Concept'. A YouTube clip posted by Toyota Global also referred to the two cars as "Toyota's all-new sports cars". The deliberate vagueness points to the car running under two different names: the road-going model as the Lexus LFR (the long-awaited successor to the legendary V10-engined Lexus LFA hypercar), and the race car as the track-only GT3 version of the next-generation Toyota Supra. At the 2022 Tokyo motor show, Toyota revealed the Gazoo Racing GT3 Concept, a dedicated racer designed to be sold to teams for the sports car-based GT3 motorsport category – which in Australia includes the Bathurst 12 Hour endurance race, won earlier this year by BMW. The Goodwood GT Racing Concept – clearly not street-legal with its extreme aero package and extras including a large bonnet intake, sliding side windows, bigger race wheels and brakes, Michelin slick tyres and centrally-mounted rear spoiler, builds on the 2022 concept. The racer has been spied testing on iconic European race circuits including Spa Francorchamps in Belgium and the Nürburgring Nordschleife in Germany. The timing suggests it will replace the race version of the Lexus RC F, which is currently eligible for the GT3 category until the end of next year, indicating a 2026 reveal and a 2027 race debut for the Goodwood racing concept. Production of the road-going Lexus RC F is due to end in late 2025, and the mid-size performance coupe has not been available in Australia since 2021. We expect similar timing for the arrival of the more sanitised – yet far from pedestrian – GT Concept as a street-legal production car in showrooms. It has also been spied track testing and on public roads in California. If the concept is an accurate rendition of the production version, the road-going model's long, wide and low-slung two-door body will still feature aggressive front and rear bumpers comprising massive front air intakes, but more showroom-friendly bonnet vents and a much smaller rear lip spoiler. As you can see from the interior image of the GT Concept posted by the Goodwood FoS, which we've lightened to show more details, its cabin features two deeply sculpted bucket seats flanking a large central console bridge, at the front of which is a tablet-style multimedia screen, and a bright crimson red colourway. The engine in both cars at Goodwood – which clearly made all the guttural sounds of a V8 – has also not been disclosed, but it could be a further development of the 5.0-litre V8 (codenamed 2UR-GSE) that powered the road-going RC F. It's also found under the bonnet of the Lexus LC500 grand touring coupe and convertible, production of which is also expected to end in 2026. The GT3 ruleset for 2027 has not yet been locked in and may include mandatory hybridisation as part of a push for more 'road-car relevance'. The road-going Lexus LFR could emply a hybrid twin-turbo V8 powertrain regardless of the race rules. The V8 will also be used by Toyota Australia in local Supercars competition, with Ryan Walkinshaw confirming his team – Walkinshaw Andretti United – is planning its first Toyota GR Supra track test in late August ahead of its 2026 switch from its current Ford Mustang. Lexus has trademarked the LFR name in Europe, and the Japanese luxury brand would almost certainly make its new flagship sports car available in Australia following its global launch by 2027. The previous Lexus LFA was priced at $700,000 before on-road costs when it was sold in Australia between 2011 and 2012, with only 10 of 500 examples available globally landing here.

MORE: Everything Lexus MORE: Everything Toyota Content originally sourced from: Toyota has revealed both road and race versions of its new flagship performance coupe wrapped in heavy camouflage at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in the UK on the weekend. No official images or information has been released by the Japanese automaker, which used Goodwood to show off a pair of disguised V8-powered sports cars, including a hardcore race car that could wear Toyota badges and a road-going version that may be badged as the Lexus LFR. One looks like a worthy showroom successor to the Ferrari-rivaling, limited-edition Lexus LFA hypercar, the other a track-ready GT3 version of the next Toyota GR Supra that's already spied in testing multiple times in Europe.

While both were driven up the famous British hill climb in a series of demonstration runs, Toyota was coy on the details – including the auto brand/s, model name/s and engine/s of the low-slung, wide-bodied sports cars. At this stage Toyota and its luxury brand say they remain "brand agnostic" about the new flagship super coupe, but at its Goodwood exhibit – attended by CarExpert – Toyota labelled the cars as 'Toyota GT Concept' and 'Toyota GT Racing Concept'. A YouTube clip posted by Toyota Global also referred to the two cars as "Toyota's all-new sports cars". The deliberate vagueness points to the car running under two different names: the road-going model as the Lexus LFR (the long-awaited successor to the legendary V10-engined Lexus LFA hypercar), and the race car as the track-only GT3 version of the next-generation Toyota Supra. At the 2022 Tokyo motor show, Toyota revealed the Gazoo Racing GT3 Concept, a dedicated racer designed to be sold to teams for the sports car-based GT3 motorsport category – which in Australia includes the Bathurst 12 Hour endurance race, won earlier this year by BMW. The Goodwood GT Racing Concept – clearly not street-legal with its extreme aero package and extras including a large bonnet intake, sliding side windows, bigger race wheels and brakes, Michelin slick tyres and centrally-mounted rear spoiler, builds on the 2022 concept. The racer has been spied testing on iconic European race circuits including Spa Francorchamps in Belgium and the Nürburgring Nordschleife in Germany. The timing suggests it will replace the race version of the Lexus RC F, which is currently eligible for the GT3 category until the end of next year, indicating a 2026 reveal and a 2027 race debut for the Goodwood racing concept. Production of the road-going Lexus RC F is due to end in late 2025, and the mid-size performance coupe has not been available in Australia since 2021. We expect similar timing for the arrival of the more sanitised – yet far from pedestrian – GT Concept as a street-legal production car in showrooms. It has also been spied track testing and on public roads in California. If the concept is an accurate rendition of the production version, the road-going model's long, wide and low-slung two-door body will still feature aggressive front and rear bumpers comprising massive front air intakes, but more showroom-friendly bonnet vents and a much smaller rear lip spoiler. As you can see from the interior image of the GT Concept posted by the Goodwood FoS, which we've lightened to show more details, its cabin features two deeply sculpted bucket seats flanking a large central console bridge, at the front of which is a tablet-style multimedia screen, and a bright crimson red colourway. The engine in both cars at Goodwood – which clearly made all the guttural sounds of a V8 – has also not been disclosed, but it could be a further development of the 5.0-litre V8 (codenamed 2UR-GSE) that powered the road-going RC F. It's also found under the bonnet of the Lexus LC500 grand touring coupe and convertible, production of which is also expected to end in 2026. The GT3 ruleset for 2027 has not yet been locked in and may include mandatory hybridisation as part of a push for more 'road-car relevance'. The road-going Lexus LFR could emply a hybrid twin-turbo V8 powertrain regardless of the race rules. The V8 will also be used by Toyota Australia in local Supercars competition, with Ryan Walkinshaw confirming his team – Walkinshaw Andretti United – is planning its first Toyota GR Supra track test in late August ahead of its 2026 switch from its current Ford Mustang.
