TorquePress

Independent Australian Automotive Journalism

TorquePress is an independent Australian automotive publication built for drivers, not dealerships, manufacturers or advertisers.

We cover the full spectrum of Australian motoring: new car reviews in local conditions, head-to-head comparisons that cut through the marketing, ownership guides that tell you what things actually cost, gear reviews for Australian roads, and news that matters to drivers here.

Our editorial position is simple. We work for the reader. Every conclusion we publish is our own. Sponsored content is always disclosed. We don’t accept payment for positive coverage.

What we cover
Reviews & Evaluations · Head-to-Head Comparisons · Ownership & Running Costs · Automotive Gear · Industry News & EV Trends · Australian Road Trips & Drives

Based in: Australia Publishing since: 2026 Articles published: 25+
