Shortly after we tested the new Ford Ranger Wildtrak 2.0 Biturbo, we found the new Everest in our driveway. With the same engine and gearbox combination, how did it compare with the Wildtrak?

Travel safely to your next vacation points by following these tips
The financial year has officially closed (for most of us) and almost everyone will head out onto the open road for a calm end to a busy year. You have done all the checks and are ready to hit the road, yet it will be important to take into account that you will be sharing the roads with more tourists, potentially not having taking as many precautions as you would have think.
Tested: Ford Ranger 2.0 Bi-Turbo D/C 4×4 Wildtrak
Yes, you read correctly. A Ford Ranger Wildtrak with a two-litre turbo-charged engine. Even more astonishing is that this engine and 10-speed automatic gearbox pairing can also be found in the new Ranger Raptor. While the Raptor impressed us immensely, the engine combo did not. However, this same engine is ideally suited to the Wildtrak model. Here is why:
A go for the new Datsun GO CVT?
Looking at a price point below the R190k mark and opting for an automatic hatchback will always be a head-scratcher. Especially if you are thinking of buying new…
Launch Report: Datsun Go Automatic
Datsun aims to broaden market share with CVT range
Have you heard any rumors during the past few weeks, stating that Datsun might move out of South Africa? Well, think again. Datsun and Nissan South Africa have the best possible answer to counter any suspicion.
Tested: 2019 Volkswagen Polo (6th generation) Beats
Last year, Galimoto Media took to the roads of the Eastern Cape to test the new Volkswagen Polo range as the sixth generation of this car was launched. Now, some time after this initial; and a few other; tests with the Polo, we got to test the Beats version.
Padtoets: Ford Kuga 1.5 TDCi Handrat
Twee weke nadat ons die splinternuwe Ford Kuga ST-Line deur die passe gesit het, is die Kuga 1.5 Trend 6-spoed handrat aan ons afgelewer. Met Ford, wat reeds die mylpaal so hoog gestel het met die Kuga 2.0 ST-Line, kan die 1.5 Trend 6MT enigsens byhou?
Padtoets: 2019 Ford Ranger Raptor
Vir vele stedelike inwoners is daar nie veel aanloklikheid rakende bakkies nie… en met goeie rede. Behalwe vir die duursame V6 bakkie hier en daar, is die natuur van hierdie tipe voertuig onprakties vir die stad. Breed, harde vering en ‘n tekort aan ‘n kattebak is maar net sekere van die probleme. Tot onlangs is die bakkie (of die “pickup” in Engels) gesien as ‘n voertuig vir die plaas en werkverrigting. Die klem word ergter hier geplaas op ‘tot onlangs’…
Padtoets: 2019 Audi Q8 55 TFSi
Audi se nuwe groot baas?
Sedert 2006 het Audi die tree geneem na die SUV mark met hul Q7 model. Met die groei van die mark na kleiner en meer stedelike-vriendelike SUV’s het die Duitse vervaardiger die Q5 en Q3 bekend gestel. Aanvraag het gegroei en Audi het dus in 2017 die kleinste Q uitgebring, naamlik die Q2. Met bykans 14 jaar se ervaring (meer sodra Volkswagen se produksie van die Touareg ingebring word) het Audi besluit om nog die grootste Q-voertuig tot op hede uit te bring.
Tested: Mitsubishi Triton 2.4 L DI-DC A/T 4×4
The true dark horse
In a world ruled by Hiluxes, Amaroks and Rangers, one bakkie doesn’t get as much attention as it deserves. Yes, the new Triton might have the public on polar opposites, yet it provides a worthy value-for-money package.
