Launch Report: 2024 Suzuki Swift
From strength to strength: Even more so after 20 years
It’s November 2004 and the all-new Suzuki Swift concept has just been launched at the Paris Motor Show. Fast forward exactly 20 years and the iconic Swift is one of Suzuki’s top sellers, and now in its fourth generation. We recently got to experience this new generation by taking it through the bustling City of Cape Town as well as the picturesque Overberg and Cape Winelands.
Launched: 2024 Hyundai Exter
Further proof of the dynamic leadership at Hyundai South Africa comes in the shape of this brand-new Exter mini-SUV… which was only meant for India but eventually came here on the insistence of its local retailers.

First Drive: Ineos Quartermaster
Recently we were very privileged to attend the Ineos Quartermaster Drive which took place over three days with two overnight stays in the beautiful Baviaanskloof Wilderness Area. The whole ‘glamp’site was set-up from scratch, so in other words, there was nothing there before!

Launch report: Suzuki Jimny 1.5 AllGrip (GL en GLX) 5-door
Suzuki ends off successful 2023 with the launch of the Jimny 5-door
In November 2018, Suzuki South Africa launched the brand-new and long-awaited 4th generation (code named: JB74) Jimny. While the 3rd generation Jimny was one of the key ingredients for Suzuki’s success, since re-entering the country in 2008, the model needed some modern updates. In fact, at that time, the third generation Jimny (JB23) had been in the country for a decade (two in other countries).
