Racing on arguably the most iconic motorsport street circuit this past weekend, the FIA ABB Formula E took to the Monaco circuit for the sixth round of the 8th Formula E season. It was a significant event this time round as the new Gen3 car was also launched; the car which will race in Cape Town in 2023.

Except for Putin, EV’s are currently the hot topic
Public opinion is a very interesting development to always keep an eye on. Globally, in both higher (HICs) – and Medium Income Countries (MICs), the best current example is that of Electric Vehicles. While HICs have already accepted this paradigm shift, thanks to increased EV infrastructures, up until two months ago, MICs were still hesitant. This is about to change.
Tested: 2021 Haval Jolion
The Haval H6 which we recently tested took the Southern-African market by storm. As a motoring journalist, it became a bit of a draining topic in every conversation. So big was the demand, that the media itself struggled to get hold of the car for some test drives. And then came the Jolion…
Tested: 2021 Haval H6
Back in 2018, when we tested and drove the then new Haval H6 from Somerset West to Kamieskroon and back, the main question from onlookers was: “What is this Haval thing?” Fast forward to the end of 2021 and the Chinese brands are flooding into Southern Africa, and with good reason.
Padtoets: Mercedes-AMG E53 Coupe 4Matic+
Die AMG E53 Coupe 4 Matic + raaisel
In ‘n tyd waar Sportsnuts voertuie die mark oorneem, en luukse sports sedan voertuie sterk tweede kom, het ‘n sinvolle voertuig soos die Mercedes-AMG E53 Coupe sterk kompetisie. Tweedens, is hierdie ook nie die groot V8 E63 S nie. Waarom dan enigsens die AMG E53S oorweeg?
Padtoets: 2021 Toyota Land Cruiser Prado VX-L
Dit is die jaar 2021 en ons het twee pandemies wat ons in die gesig staar. Die eerste is natuurlik die COVID-19 virus, terwyl die motor-bedryf met ‘n nog ‘n drukkende pandemie sit. Nes die tekort aan elektroniese “chips” ‘n kopseer vir motor vervaardigers veroosaak, bleik dit dat daar ook ‘n globale tekort aan normale silwer of grys wiele is.
Tested: 2021 Renault Kiger
From best to worst
Two weeks and two different cars with two completely polar opposite outcomes. In a way, I am quite happy as to how it played out. Let me explain…
Padtoets: 2021 Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid
Toyota se nuwe Corolla Cross gereed om die mark om te keer:
Toyota se nuwe hybrid modelle het die Suider-Afrikaanse mark met ‘n storm getref. Nie net is Toyota sinoniem met betroubaarheid nie, maar bied die vervaardiger ook die beste pryse vir hibriede voertuie in die huidige mark. Hierdie is danksy hul Kwazulu-Natal plant, wat vervaardigings kostes aansienlik minder maak as die ingevoerde kompetisie.
Opinion: Buying the new Corolla makes even more sense now… Or does it?
Sometime in the recent past, Toyota notified the public of its move towards locally-produced hybrid models. Manufactured at their Kwazulu-Natal plant, the new Corolla, Corolla Cross and Rav4 models are set to turn the market on its head.
Waarom die Santa Fe oorweeg as Hyundai pas die Palisade bekend gestel het?
Dit is korrek. Skaars 6 maande na die Hyundai Santa Fe se bekendstelling in April, het die Koreaanse vervaardiger pas nog ‘n 7 / 8 sitplek sports nuts voertuig bekend gestel; naamlik die Palisade. Hoewel beide voertuie na dieselfde tipe voertuie mag lyk, was Hyundai eintlik baie slim met die bekendstelling van hierdie twee modelle.
