Namibia's content-driven motoring portal

If there’s one thing we took away from the launch of the new Kia Sorento, it’s certainly that Kia South Africa is on the move. Behind the scenes, there’s been a quiet transformation — one that’s already starting to show real results in the numbers, the showrooms, and most importantly, on the roads.
As an addendum to our full review of the D-Max 3L 4×4 Auto Double-Cab (click here) I’ve compiled a few examples as to why this is better suited to the farm than suburbia…
Bad news, everyone. After a global pandemic, slightly misfiring electricity supply, a possible recession and other turmoil, I’ve identified another evil in our midst: the gentrification of simple bakkies and rustic 4×4’s.
We recently attended a day of off-roading with the new Mahindra Karoo Dusk, Dawn, and Storm editions. Taking it through the steep gravel angles and soft sands of the Klipbokkop farm near Worcester, we had to share our impressions about this newcomer.
I detest click-bait. And blatantly fluffed-up, agonisingly drawn-out, mostly American pieces that waste a substantial part of your life to eventually impart no more than a few seconds of valuable information. So, in order to not string you along any further: this Peugeot bakkie is not that great.
What are the most complicated things on the planet? Easy. Rocket Science, Quantum Physics, Nuclear Fission, Ford Ranger model line-up. In that order.
The Mazda BT-50 was never an obvious choice for bakkie buyers, mostly because the Japanese brand went for bizarre designs to distinguish their product. So, did they learn their lesson with this all-new 2021 model?
Oor die afgelope paar jaar het Mahindra as ‘n redelike onlangse vervaardiger dit goed reg gekry om ons, die joernaliste by NamWheels, te beïndruk. Natuurlik is elke vervaardiger nie volmaak nie en sal nuwe vervaardigers wat die mark betree meer swart skape hê as ander. Met Mahindra het hierdie hoeveelheid aansienlik verander.
