Is Toyota cooking up a new LandCruiser FJ four-wheel-drive? The automotive rumour mill is currently in overdrive with whispers that the iconic nameplate will return soon as a mini 'Cruiser to rival the very popular Suzuki Jimny, or maybe even the larger Jeep Wrangler or GWM Tank 300. Either way, anticipations levels are sky high. So in this Newscast video, CarsGuide's Managing Editor, Tim Nicholson, is joined by News Editor Dom Tripolone and Contributing Journalist Andrew Chesterton to chat about what we know so far about the alleged next-gen Toyota LandCruiser FJ. They discuss whether it's happening at all, what it will be called, which platform it will use, which powertrains it will offer – including whether or not it will be hybrid or fully electric, or maybe both — what it will look like and exactly when it will be revealed and go into production. So, do Australian off-road enthusiasts have something to look forward to? Watch on to find out.

Is the Mitsubishi Pajero making a comeback? All signs point to a return for the iconic 4WD wagon, with the Japanese brand even going as far as to tease a new large SUV as part of its line-up of next-generation models. Better yet, Mitsubishi has recently trademarked 'Montero' in the US, where the Pajero was previously known by that name. So, what is the rumour mill saying about what to expect from the next-gen Pajero? In this Newscast, CarsGuide Managing Editor Tim Nicholson, News Editor Dom Tripolone and Contributing Journalist Andrew Chesterton gather together to discuss the future of the famous series, including all of the hot tips. Undoubtedly, the headline is the anticipated new Pajero isn't expected to be like its predecessor, with its diesel engine swapped up for a petrol-electric plug-in hybrid powertrain in a sign of the times. In fact, the rugged ladder-frame chassis could make way for a car-like monocoque platform.

The 2025 Nissan Patrol Y63 is one of the most anticipated new models that's yet to be revealed. That said, there are plenty of clues as to what the seventh-generation upper-large SUV has in store for buyers and fans alike thanks to the mechanically Infiniti QX80 that made its debut in April 2024. To that end, the big news is what is, or rather isn't, under the bonnet: a 5.6-litre naturally aspirated petrol V8 engine. Instead, in a sign of the times, a 3.5-litre twin-turbo V6 takes its place, albeit upping power from 298kW to 336kW, and torque from 560Nm to 698Nm. The seven-speed torque-converter automatic transmissions upgrades to a nine-speed unit, too. But, of course, there's a lot more to the new Patrol Y63 than just its powertrain. In this news video, CarsGuide Managing Editor Tim Nicholson is joined by Deputy News Editor John Law and Contributing Journalist Andrew Chesterton to discuss everything else that we know so far.
