Out now: motoring iPad App 50 - Medium SUV Under $60K Comparison

Chances are that if you’re not already driving a Medium SUV, then it's the type of vehicle that you will seriously consider in the future. The modern-day SUV needs to be a little bit of everything, including the daily commuter, family taxi, sports change room and, sometimes, holiday workhorse.

So in this issue of the motoring.com.au App mag, we'll endeavour to see which one of the five fits your brood. From performance to comfort, to fit and finish, we'll cover everything you need to know, so you will be ably armed with the knowledge needed for that all-important family buying decision.

Also, in this issue we embark on one of the great European drives. The Mille Miglia, which translates to 1000 Miles. It’s a magnificent route that reads like a tour guide for the most charming of Italian villages and cities. The Mille Miglia is no longer a race, but open to any car that could have competed in the original. Our overseas scribe, Michael Taylor, paints a vivid picture of his drive in an extremely rare Alfa Romeo Sportivo.

In a drive a little close to home, we pitched two cars that aren’t exactly what you’d call direct rivals. The Holden Commodore and the Mercedes-Benz E-Class. They might both be large sedans, but according to Holden, the new VF-series Commodore has closed the gap on its European rivals where technology, ride and handling, and build quality are concerned. There was only one way to find out… Read what we found out from the 'Large Sedan Drive’.

Plus there's a preview of the new Mad Max game coming our way in 2014, and in Gadgets, discover the ‘must have’ accessory for any classic car -- it looks good but sounds even better.
