Out now: motoring iPad App 69

In this FREE issue of the motoring.com.au iPad App we take to the hills in two impressive compact prestige SUV's, the Range Rover Evoque and the new Benz GLA

Mercedes-Benz joins the compact prestige SUV segment this month with its new GLA-Class, a competitor to the likes of Audi’s Q3, the BMW X1 and, of course, the strong-selling Range Rover Evoque. With a starting price that’ll turn as many heads as its conservative good looks, the GLA is set to impress and will likely become one of the sales leaders in its class. So, how does it stack up to the current darling of the primo SUV hoard? We take to the hills to find out...

Unlike 99.99 per cent of racecars on the planet the Nissan Nismo RC is electric. Totally. Not hybrid – a full EV. A proof-of-concept vehicle built to test the viability of electric racecars, the Nismo RC made its first appearance at the New York Auto Show in April 2011 and we recently got to take it out on the track at Philip Island.  It was an interesting drive to say the least…

This year's New York International Auto Show featured some of the biggest names in the auto world. While the show will never rival the biggest Euro events, there was still plenty to look at... Check out our spread of pics in our NY show gallery.

Plus we get behind the wheel of the new Nissan X-TRAIL, which appears to be less off-road and more softroader. There is also driving impressions of the new Porsche 911 Targa and Volkswagen GTI Performance and a quick spin in the second Quattroporte variant, the S, which boasts effervescent twin-turbo V6 power and has now joined Maserati's local line-up.

Hours of fun for the whole family… okay, that might be stretching it. All this and more can be found in issue 69 of the motoring.com.au iPad App and it's available for download now from Newsstand in the iTunes store.
