Since the very first Lexus that I drove back in 2001, the brand has kept a distinctive level of comfort under the skin of every car. Yes, lots of German cars ride softly, but some Lexus models seem to have this duvet kind of feel on the road… often without the aid of air suspension.
Welkom aan Lexus se kleinste Sportsnuts voertuig; die UX 250. Hierdie een is ook die hibriede weergawe en kompiteer met voertuie soos die Volvo XC40, Mazda CX3, Mercedes-Benz GLA, en BMW X2. Gedurende ons onlangse toets hiermee het ons dit op die langpad, die stad, sowel as grondpaaie getoets.

Lexus lent us a small city SUV hybrid effort which is as achingly trendy as it is expensive…
Many years ago, the numbers on the back of cars actually denoted what was under the hood. A 280SE had 2.8 litres, your 528i also packed a two-point-eight and the Cressida actually spelt it out for you: 2.8i. Now though? Lexus has followed the (German) trend with this NX300…
What you need to know: Lexus is the luxury division of Toyota and this NX, which apparently stands for “Nimble Crossover” is a mild relation of the accomplished Toyota RAV-4 compact SUV. Starting out as the NX200t around 2014 (or 2015 in southern Africa), Lexus has now changed its name to NX300. No idea why.
Hino South Africa
“Two Bar” is the fitting nickname for Namlog’s Hino 500-Series 1324 freight carrier that has covered more than 2.3-million kilometres since it was purchased new in 2009. It certainly carries its age well and does not look like a truck that has covered a distance equal to going around the earth almost 60 times!
