If you haven’t done so yet, meet the second generation of Mercedes-AMG’s hatchback monster…
A45
Bekendstelling: 2016 Mercedes-Benz A-Klas
Mercedes-Benz stel sy nuutse veranderinge aan die generasie A-klas bekend
Die nuwe generasie A-klas het in September 2012 sy intrede in die mark gemaak. As gevolg van die groot sukses wat hierdie model wêreldwyd bereik het is produksie vanaf Rastatt in Augustus 2013 na Valmet Automotive Sales in Finland uitgebrei. In Brittanje het verkope verlede jaar met 46% en in die groeiende mark in China met meer as 50% gestyg alhoewel die meeste verkope nog steeds in Duitsland is.
Tested: Volkswagen Golf R
The grumbling power
Just when you thought it was safe to venture out into the hot hatchback-mad streets again, Volkswagen comes to the late night drag racing party. Their venerable GTi embodies the hot hatch rather well but who will defend the family name at the traffic lights? The Golf R, that’s who.
Tested: Mercedes-Benz A45 AMG
The phenomenal shadow
I’ve been waiting for this car a long time. A few cancellations and finger nails later, Mercedes-Benz’ A45 AMG finally arrived for a week of testing. Why was I so excited to drive it? Not only is it the first proper AMG A-Class, it’s also the first four-pot AMG and the most powerful four cylinder in the world.
Tested: Chevrolet Sonic RS
The frisky number
One of the most popular automotive segments in the world and our country is the hot hatchback. You know the type. Medium-sized, two- or four-door runabouts minus a boot plus a whack of horsepower and go-faster bits. Today I’d like to introduce you to the latest arrival, Chevrolet’s Sonic RS.
