Sydney, Australia - February 6th, 2026 - Drive.com.au, Australia's leading online automotive news and reviews platform, today announced its participation in Google's News Showcase program. This partnership aims to enhance the visibility of Drive's content within Google Search and Google News, allowing readers to more easily access the latest in motoring news, reviews, and expert advice. The move comes as Google continues to refine its news delivery services, focusing on user personalization and support for quality journalism.

Google News Showcase is an initiative designed to foster a more sustainable future for news organizations. By allowing publishers to curate and present their content in a visually appealing and informative way within Google News, the program provides a new revenue stream and increases brand recognition. Crucially, it also empowers users to have greater control over the news they consume, filtering their feeds to prioritize the sources they trust and value.

For readers, this means a more tailored news experience. Instead of relying solely on algorithms to determine what appears in their feed, users can actively select preferred publications, ensuring they see more content from the sources they find reliable and engaging. Drive.com.au believes this is particularly important in the fast-paced world of automotive news, where accurate and timely information is paramount.

"We're thrilled to join Google News Showcase," says James Sinclair, Editor-in-Chief of Drive.com.au. "The automotive landscape is constantly evolving, with new models, technologies, and regulations being introduced all the time. We're committed to providing our readers with the most comprehensive and up-to-date coverage possible, and this partnership with Google will help us reach a wider audience and ensure our content is easily accessible to those who are passionate about cars."
