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!

Launched: 2024 Mazda CX-60 Takumi
We were recently invited by Mazda South Africa to the launch of a semi-new model in their stylish passenger vehicle line-up.

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).

Launched: Suzuki Jimny 5-door (2023)
Déjà vu for Suzuki
Suzuki certainly kept the best for last today as it publicly launched their brand new 5-door Jimny at the 2023 Festival of Motoring (Kyalami Race circuit), just like they did with their 3-door version in 2018. This follows a very busy week for the brand, which saw the reveal of two other completely new models, namely the Fronx and the XL6.
