The facelifted Hyundai Tucson quietly moved into Southern Africa in April 2025 without a big fuss, which is strange, considering that the model line-up has been updated quite a lot from its 2023 predecessor. Another important factor is that the new facelift also comes into the market with reduced prices and a more modern interior. We spent a week with the flagship N-Line diesel AWD.
AWD
Launched: 2023 Hyundai Tucson N-Line
I like a good sleeper. If you ask Google what a sleeper car is, you’ll get an answer involving disguised potential or unassuming performance. The new Hyundai Tucson N-Line is the exact opposite of a sleeper, although that doesn’t mean I dislike it…
Sprint Review: 2021 Jaguar E-Pace D200 HSE

Tested: 2020 Jaguar i-Pace EV400 AWD S

Sprint Review: 2020 (Facelift) Isuzu mu-X AWD Locker (Auto)
Somewhere between all those hideously expensive luxury SUV’s and the oh-so trendy compact crossovers lives a whole horde of bakkie-based rustic 4×4’s with seven seats. We tested the face-lifted Isuzu offering.
Volvo XC60 T6 vs V90 Cross Country D5
There you are, standing outside your local Volvo dealership after close of business and that stunning blue XC60 you had your heart set on is parked next to a cool grey V90 Cross Country. Dang it, which dotted line do you sign on?
Sprint Review: Jaguar E-Pace D180 AWD
Small crossover Jaguar, small diesel engine, small thirst. So is there anything about this Jag that isn’t tiny?
Long-term test: 2019 Isuzu mu-X 3.0 AWD
The perfect flaw
Anonymity can be a wonderful thing. As 2019 was drawing to a close, I reflected on some of the colourful cars we tested and decided to book something mundane for the holidays. You know, some large bakkie-based SUV with seven seats and a clattering diesel engine. Have you met the Isuzu mu-X yet?
