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.

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.
Tested: 2017 Hyundai Creta 1.6 Executive Automatic Diesel
The awesome example
Recently I was involved in a discussion – or possibly an intervention – where I was accused of being too critical of new cars. I’ll save you my whining retorts but promised all participants that I can indeed be positive about deserving automobiles. And wouldn’t you know it, the Hyundai Creta is a perfect example.
Tested: Ford Ranger 3.2 XLT FX4 (Limited Edition) 6-spd AT
Working around stereotypes
Hearing the word “bakkie” or “utility vehicle” immediately brings certain stereotypical thoughts to mind. Bakkies have always been seen as the business workhorse, mainly being used for carrying or towing large weights. Yet, within recent years, that stereotype may have been put to rest as more and more manufacturers are trying their hand at changing this perception.
Comparison: Tucson vs. Tiguan
Do you need a new SUV with fancy tech and a punchy Diesel engine for about half a bar? We compare the surprising Hyundai Tucson with one of the industry’s new pin-up posters, the Volkswagen Tiguan.
Launched: Mercedes-Benz GLA facelift
Be Young
Presented in 2013 for the first time, the GLA was introduced as a new compact SUV range to the A-class Mercedes line-up. Becoming considerably popular in China, USA, Germany and Great Britain, the manufacturer has made quite an impact as the GLA proves relatively small from the outside, yet is spacious in design. Combined with the versatility of the model on any terrain, it is understandable that Mercedes have sold over 2 million if these models. Four years after the first GLA was launched, what can you expect from the new GLA facelift? Is it worth it and has the GLA range undergone considerable changes?
