Audi Australia has confirmed pricing and specifications for the updated RS3 Sportback and Sedan, both of which have seen markups of nearly $10,000. Due to arrive in showrooms from mid-2025, Audi’s smallest RS model cracks the $100,000 barrier for the first time in Australia. The RS3 Sportback is priced from $104,800 before on-road costs and the RS3 Sedan is priced from $107,800 before on-roads. Hundreds of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now.

Skoda Australia has confirmed preliminary details of its upcoming Elroq electric SUV, ahead of a sales launch in September. A pair of variants will be available at launch – the 85 Select and 130 Edition – with prices starting from $54,990 and $64,990 respectively, both before on-road costs. That puts the European-made Elroq smack bang up against the physically larger BYD Sealion 7 (from $54,990), and undercuts the related Volkswagen ID.4 Pro ($59,990) and Tesla Model Y RWD ($58,990).

Speaking with CarExpert, Skoda’s local director Lucie Kuhn said development vehicles are already in Australia for further testing, and while the Superb ‘iV’ will likely be aimed at fleet customers in a single variant, the Kodiaq iV should offer multiple options for different buyers.

In case you didn’t know, I’m a Golf GTI owner. Seems rather fitting, then, that I’m the CarExpert team member selected to test out the latest iteration of Wolfsburg’s iconic hot hatch. Like my beloved Mk7.5, the 2025 Volkswagen Golf GTI Mk8.5 is a mid-life refresh rather than an all-new model. However, there have been substantial revisions across the board to make this the most potent GTI yet… if you discount the GTI Clubsport, of course.
