In 2024 we tested the new Volvo EX30, a car we thoroughly liked. Similarly, it extended the agonising search for a “problematic” car from this brand. During my own journalistic career, spanning almost a decade, I am yet to find the ‘ugly duckling’ in the Volvo range, a vision shared with several other motoring journalists. Volvo’s Swedish engineering and design has always made it very difficult to find any faults.
Sprint Review: 2025 Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid XR
Wow, did we get stopped and questioned about this car! It’s no surprise though, because it’s a locally built and sensible crossover sold at a decent price.
Padtoets: 2025 Suzuki Dzire
Die Suzuki Dzire het homself gevestig as een van Suid-Afrika se gunstelinge onder die klein sedan-segment. Met sy kombinasie van betroubaarheid, ekonomie en praktiese spesifikasies bied dit ’n pakket wat moeilik geklop kan word in ’n mark waar kopers steeds waarde soek bo alles.

Met drie modelle in die plaaslike reeks, naamlik die Trend 5-spoed handrat, Comfort 5-spoed handrat, en Comfort CVT—posisioneer Honda die Amaze as ’n praktiese en betroubare opsie vir kopers wat waarde vir geld en Japannese ingenieurswese soek.

GWM se P500 bakkie ’n absolute wenner
Elektriese-verstelbare agter sitplekke, ‘n sondak, verhitte en verkoelde sitplekke vir beide sitplek rye, en uiterse gemak. Hierdie is die tipe funksies wat gekoppel word aan meeste nuwe luukse SNVs, tog het GWM elk van hierdie in hul nuutste P500 HEV bakkie geplaas.
