Toby Hagon has spent decades behind the wheel of everything from high-performance electric vehicles to tough, terrain-tackling off-roaders. A passionate traveler, he’s always ready for the next adventure, no matter how far or twisty the road may be.
Since the 1990s, Toby has been a prominent voice in automotive journalism, contributing to well-known outlets like The Australian Financial Review, Qantas Magazine, Money Magazine, and The Guardian. He’s also the co-author of Holden: Our Car and Kings of the Road: 50 Cars That Drove Australia. While he respects the heritage of classic cars, his true enthusiasm lies in the innovation and energy that are transforming the automotive landscape.
As the former National Motoring Editor for The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age, Toby was instrumental in launching Drive Car of the Year and later joined the judging panel for Wheels Car of the Year. Today, his work is featured across platforms such as Carsales, News.com.au, RACV Magazine, The Australian, Unsealed 4×4, and many more, both locally and internationally.
