CarExpert Choice winner: Best Affordable Sports Car
The Ford Mustang has been named Australia's best affordable sports car in the inaugural 2025 CarExpert Choice Awards. Ford's seventh-generation pony car beat out two very different finalists: the Mazda MX-5 roadster and Toyota GR86 coupe. Available in both coupe and convertible forms, it's larger, heavier and more expensive than those sports cars, but the recently redesigned Mustang is an utterly enthralling vehicle. A big part of its appeal is the GT's naturally aspirated V8 – available with a manual, no less! That's a combination that's becoming increasingly rare on our market. Hundreds of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now. Get the experts on your side and score a great deal. Browse now. But the Mustang is more than just its engine. For starters, you can get it without the V8, with the base EcoBoost featuring an engaging and oft-overlooked turbocharged 2.3-litre four-cylinder petrol engine. The American muscle car is the best-handling Mustang yet, while also proving comfortable for the daily commute – particularly with the optional MagneRide adaptive suspension. Mustang purists may scoff at the redesigned interior, but it's more modern and logically laid out than before. You can also still get the wind in your hair in the GT Convertible, allowing you to better take in that sonorous V8. A sports car should make you feel good when you drive it, and the Mustang makes us feel pretty damn good. To see all the CarExpert Choice winners, click here.

Koenigsegg Sadair's Spear: Road-legal track car revealed
The Koenigsegg Sadair's Spear takes the Jesko and adds more power, torque and downforce to deliver a big dollop of extra track-day fun. Behind the passenger cell is an upgraded version of the Jesko's 5.0-litre twin-turbo V8. Thanks to a revised calibration, and reworked airflow and cooling systems, when using regular unleaded the V8 now makes a mammoth 969kW of power at 7800rpm, or 1212kW if it's being fed E85 fuel. Torque figures are unchanged, with a maximum of 1500Nm produced at 5100rpm, and at least 1000Nm available between 2700 and 6170rpm. The engine is redlined at 8500rpm. Hundreds of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now. Get the experts on your side and score a great deal. Browse now. All of the engine's fury is once again fed to the rear wheels via a nine-speed multi-clutch "Light Speed Transmission". For reference, the regular Jesko makes a mere 941kW on 95-octane unleaded fuel, and 1177kW on E85. The Sadair's Spear power-to-weight ratio exceeds 1:1. Stopping ability comes courtesy of 410mm ventilated ceramic discs with massive six-piston calipers up front, and 395mm ventilated ceramic discs with four-pot calipers at the rear. To keep the car on the ground the aero package has been revised with larger canards, tweaked wheel-arch louvres, a bonnet vent with integrated Gurney flap, and a redesigned top-mounted double-blade rear wing. With a 1385kg kerb weight, the Sadair's Spear is 35kg lighter than the Jesko. Around 2.6kg of those savings come through reduced sound insulation, with a further 1.3kg lost thanks to "new carbon-fibre techniques". The cabin features redesigned carbon-fibre seats with memory foam padding, and can be fitted with a six-point racing harness. While niceties like the digital instrument cluster and infotainment display remain, the gear shifter has been eliminated, meaning the only way to shift gears is via the flappy paddles behind the steering wheel. The Sadair's Spear rides on 275/35 Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tyres with 20-inch rims up front, and 325/30 rubber wrapped around 21-inch wheels at the rear. Semi-slick Cup 2R tyres are also available. Christian von Koenigsegg, the company's founder, named the Jesko after his father as a "heartfelt tribute" for his support during the supercar maker's early years. The Sadair's Spear is in turn named after his dad's favourite horse, and the one he rode in his final race as a gentleman jockey in 1976. Production of the Sadair's Spear is limited to 30 cars, and all are already spoken for after a private unveiling in front of prospective customers. No pricing has been announced, but it's probably safe to assume it will cost more than the US$2.85 million (A$4.36 million) required to snaffle a Jesko.

CarExpert Choice winner: Best Luxury EV
The BMW i4 has been named Australia's best luxury electric vehicle (EV) in the inaugural 2025 CarExpert Choice Awards. The battery-powered premium liftback beat out two electric SUVs for the title: the Cadillac Lyriq and Porsche Macan. Unlike many other EVs developed from a combustion-vehicle platform, the BMW i4 feels like it was designed from the outset as an EV. Hundreds of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now. Get the experts on your side and score a great deal. Browse now. Not only that, but it feels like a BMW thanks to its superb ride and handling balance. It also looks like a BMW, given its close relation to the 4 Series Gran Coupe, which means a sleek design and a well-appointed, tech-rich cabin. The base eDrive35 also slides under the Luxury Car Tax (LCT) threshold for fuel-efficient vehicles, making it exempt from Fringe Benefits Tax (FBT) if you buy one through a novated lease. It also has plenty of grunt, though you can step up to more powerful eDrive40 and hot M50 variants if you so desire. Regardless of the variant, all i4s feature a liftback body, which makes the BMW more practical than rival sedans. All of this makes this fun-to-drive luxury EV a surprisingly sensible choice, and our pick for best luxury EV. To see all the CarExpert Choice winners, click here.

CarExpert Choice winner: Best Off-Road SUV
The Ford Everest has been named Australia's best off-road SUV in the inaugural 2025 CarExpert Choice Awards. It beat out the Nissan Patrol and Toyota LandCruiser Prado for the title. The Australian-engineered large SUV is an excellent all-rounder, just like the Ranger it's based on and which we named Best Ute for 2025. There's a choice of bi-turbo 2.0-litre four-cylinder and turbo 3.0-litre V6 diesel engines – the latter something none of its direct rivals can offer. Both engines come standard with a four-wheel drive system featuring not only selectable low-range gearing but also a 4A mode you can use on pavement. Hundreds of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now. Get the experts on your side and score a great deal. Browse now. There's an excellent hill descent control system, plus a locking rear differential for when you need to tackle really tough stuff. The Tremor builds on the Everest's off-road capability, with a rock crawl drive mode, all-terrain tyres, new springs and dampers, and a higher ride height. But the Everest doesn't just shine away from the bitumen. Its light and accurate steering make it easy to drive around town, and it's also a quiet and comfortable highway cruiser. The cabin will be familiar to Ranger owners, which means the same slick technology. All of that makes the Everest not just a great off-roader, but also a great family vehicle.
