Along with the introduction of its first-ever fully-electric concept (set for a 2025 introduction), as well as the five-door Jimny, Suzuki also launched the new Fronx SUV, set for a Southern-African arrival.

Suzuki Jimny JB74: Nostalgia and an eye on the future
Warning: This article might be slightly biased.
When Suzuki launched their new Jimny JB74 model in the picturesque highveld region, back in 2018, it became my dream to own one of these small “do-it-all” vehicles. Fast forward to 2022, and our eyes were set on an extensive road trip, covering some 5500km, from the Southern point of South Africa to the Northern, and Eastern parts of the country. Our journey took as back to the location where I fell in love with the JB74, as well as towards Clarens, the town which is set to host the #JimnyGathering in September 2023.
Jimny 5-door revealed
At last, the 5-door version of the Jimny JB74 has been showcased at the 2023 Auto Expo in New-Delhi, India. Set to officially be launched in India around March 2023, Southern-Africans will have to wait a bit longer for the arrival of this eagerly anticipated off-roader.
Kort die Fortuner werklik nog blootstelling?
Die week op toets het ons die nuwe 2.8 Toyota Fortuner. Snaaks genoeg het altwee my bure ook een. Rits vinnig af na die winkelsentrum en dit is moeilik om nie langs ’n Fortuner te parkeer nie.
Tested: 2022 Suzuki Jimny Rhino Edition
“The Jimny is perfect, but keep a set of extra headlight bulbs close by.”
Padtoets: 2021 Ford Ranger Raptor SE
“Soos die huidge Ford Ranger Raptor met die 2.0 liter Bi-turbo enjin die einde van die lewens siklus haal en die vervaardiger gereed maak om formeel die 3.0 liter turbo petrol weergawe op die paaie te bring, het Ford onlangs die SE spesiale uitgawe uitgebring as ’n opgradering. Ons het die afgelope tyd die geleentheid gehad om, wel, Raptor tipe ekskursies aan te pak.
Are you ready for the #jimnygathering ?
One of the largest motoring gatherings, certainly in the southern hemisphere, and potentially the world, is winking on the horizon.
Padtoets: 2022 Lexus UX 250h
Welkom aan Lexus se kleinste Sportsnuts voertuig; die UX 250. Hierdie een is ook die hibriede weergawe en kompiteer met voertuie soos die Volvo XC40, Mazda CX3, Mercedes-Benz GLA, en BMW X2. Gedurende ons onlangse toets hiermee het ons dit op die langpad, die stad, sowel as grondpaaie getoets.
Tested: 2021 Volkswagen e-Golf
Galimoto Media recently took delivery of the Volkswagen e-Golf; a car that attracted numerous interest during our time with it. We wanted to see how useful this electric vehicle is within a country, and especially province (Western Cape), where electric mobility is becoming a buzzword.
