Here’s where you’ll find the newest cars and our reports about them – in Afrikaans, English or German.
Johannesburg Festival of Motoring launch report: Suzuki Jimny
Liked the previous Suzuki Jimny? Well, you are going to love this!
Since its inception in the 1970 with the Suzuki LJ10 (have a look at our NamWheels Suzuki Jimny Lineage article: https://www.namwheels.com/lineage-suzuki-jimny/) the Jimny has been a success from the word “GO”! However, as Jimny sales figures rocketed exponentially, the brand has not seen a new Jimny in nearly 20 years. Well, the wait is over and it was certainly worth it!
Launch Report: Hyundai H-1 Facelift
It seems like Hyundai is on a mission to keep all its products fresh ‘n crispy – we recently attended the launch of their face-lifted H-1 bus range.
Launch report: 2018 Nissan Micra
New Micra sure to gain more market presence
With striking new looks and a refreshed interior design, the new Nissan Micra not only looks completely different from the previous model but promises improved ride quality, more space and better fuel economy. Ideal for the growing inner-city demand on cars. Here is what we think of the new Micra:
Launch Report: 2018 Suzuki Dzire
The new stand-alone Dzire
Suzuki South Africa has just launched the new Dzire range, which will now be a model sold separately and not as the sedan version of the highly praised Swift. Looking at its sales figures, the Dzire comes to South Africa as the bestselling B segment car in India, where it sells 25,000 units every month!
Launch report: 2018 Suzuki Swift
New Swift to stun the market
The Suzuki Swift has, since 2008, become unanimous with affordability, compactness and easy city commuting. With the new Swift line-up launched in 2018, the brand aims to stun the market even more. Thirty percent of all Suzuki sales in Southern Africa takes the form of the Swift.
Launch report: Volkswagen Crafter (4th generation)
“Built to build your business”
Fancy a roadtrip with family and friends through South-Africa and Namibia? Or are you looking for a reliable workhorse to help grow your business? Then the all-new Volkswagen Crafter may just be what you looked for.
Launch Report: Hyundai i20 Facelift
Hot on the heels of the Grand i10 refresh, its bigger brother i20 just received an injection of youth.
How do you improve on perfection? While it may seem odd to use that term for the report of a Hyundai i20 refresh, I struggled to see where (or why) they even bothered. The outgoing model only arrived 2,5 years ago and in my humble opinion, it still looked perfectly modern while offering a great value proposition.
Launch Report: Volkswagen Arteon
Meet the all-new Volkswagen Arteon
We recently attended the launch of the all-new Arteon model in Johannesburg. Launched as the top-end sedan in the Volkswagen line-up, the Arteon surprised us tremendously. It might have more to offer than you think.
New Volvo XC40 hops into Southern-African market
We were recently invited to the launch of the all-new Volvo XC 40 in Johannesburg to test this new vehicle in the busy urban terrain.
