We’ve just returned from the launch of a N$750,000 Hyundai. Let that sink in for a while – ¾ of a million bucks! Take all the time you need but be sure to read on…
SUV
Padtoets: 2018 Volvo XC40 D4 AWD
Die nuwe klein SUV koning
Volvo het nie net in 2017 die Europese Motor van die Jaar toekenning gewen nie, maar ook nou ‘n voertuig gemaak wat as “cool” beskryf kan word. Volvo se nuwe XC40 is nie net visueel treffend en een van die mees tegnologies gevorderde voertuie op die mark nie, maar ook nou meer ‘generasie’ vriendelik vir enige ouderdoms groep met verskeie kleurskemas en binneruim styleringspakkette. Waar anders dan om die jeugdigheid van die nuwe XC40 uit te beeld as by ‘n Matriek- (Graad 12) afskeid?

Padtoets: 2018 Volvo XC40 T5
Volvo XC40 mik bo klas gewig
Veiligheid, gemak, spasie en gebalanseerde ryvernuf. Dit is begrippe waarmee die splinternuwe Volvo XC40 goed opgesom kan word. Tydens die loods van die model in April het ons dit al bevestig en na ‘n week met die voertuig, kan ons dit nét beaam. Die XC40 is ‘n voertuig wat goed bo sy eie gewig slaan en meer bied as wat verwag word.
Sprint Review: Nissan X-Trail 1.6 dCi 4×4 Tekna
A bronzey SUV, lots of information in short paragraphs
What you need to know: I hope you don’t know me personally because you’re bound to have heard the following rant on repeat… I miss boxy, practical SUV’s. There weren’t many to start with, mostly the Nissan X-Trail and Land-Rover Freelander or Discovery, but all of them were instantly recognisable and incredibly practical.
Bekendstelling: Jaguar E-Pace
Jaguar se welpie, die E-Pace
Na die sukses van die F-Pace is die aankoms van sy kleiner broer nie ‘n verrassing nie. Met die E-Pace het Jaguar ‘n ontwerp van ‘n sportmotor met die funksionaliteit van ‘n sportsnutsvoertuig (SUV) gekombineer. Volgens Jaguar is die E-Pace ontwerp om aanklank te vind by jonger mense met ‘n aktiewe leefstyl.
Padtoets: 2018 Mitsubishi Pajero Sport 2.4 4×4
‘n Uitblinker, wat mis gekyk word
Ons mees onlangse toets met die nuwe Misubishi Pajero Sport het as aangename verrassing gekom, veral nadat ons die voertuig op die grondpaaie van Malmesbury en die duine van Atlantis getoets het. Groot was ons bewondering vir hierdie voertuig en ons was bly om hom nou vir ‘n volle week in die stad te kon toets.
Launched: 2017 Honda CR-V
Known for its refinement, the Honda CR-V range has just been improved even further!
First launched in 1995, the Honda CR-V captured the global market as a trend-setter in the compact SUV segment. Globally, it has since been sold 9 million times in 150 countries, so this latest model has a lot to live up to.
Tested (again): Hyundai Tucson R2.0 Diesel Elite Automatic
The epic trip
I’m sure you’ve heard of the custom that bumping into a friend for the second (or third) time in quick succession means you should go for coffee together? Well, I firmly believe in this and when it comes to cars, the new Hyundai Tucson and I are going for coffee, muffins, cappuccino and a light brunch.
