Volvo never ceases to amaze me. As if achingly stylish designs, fastidious safety and responsive chassis’ weren’t enough, they’ve just made their XC40 compact SUV even more attractive…

Sprint Review: Renault Koleos 2.5 Dynamique 4WD
One of the first official press cars I ever received was a jet black Renault Koleos. Back then I was in awe of this new ride and our market wasn’t bulging with SUV’s yet. Let’s see what this second generation is like, shall we?
Sprint Review: 2019 Mahindra XUV500 2.2 CRDe W10
Another day, another SUV. Thanks to our insatiable thirst for high-riding station wagons, even firms like Mahindra are getting in (or staying) on the action. We test the top-spec XUV500.
Padtoets: 2019 Isuzu MU-X 3.0 4×2
Isuzu roep die troepe
As dit by voertuie kom, is daar maar nou net een baie sterk neiging in die Suider-Afrikaanse mark tydens die afgelope paar jare (of eintlik dekades). Meeste van ons soek ‘n gemaklike, veilige en praktiese voertuig vir die langpad. Nog meer, is ons selfs meer in ons nappies as die voertuig ‘n kamp sleepwa, karavaan of boot kan sleep.
Tested: 2019 Jaguar E-Pace D240 R-Dynamic
That’s it, I’ve had it. Enough! Enough already with this stupid SUV malarkey, it’s gotten completely out of control. Who would’ve ever thought that Jaguar (and Bentley, Maserati, Porsche, Lambo, etc., etc.) will get in on the action and what the hell is the meaning of E, F and I Pace?
Ford Turns Plastic Bottles into Carpets
Ford Turns Plastic Bottles into Carpets to Help Recycle More Than 1 Billion Drinks Containers Every Year
PRETORIA, South Africa, 27 June 2019 – Ford has found a clever way of reusing millions of plastic bottles. Each EcoSport SUV that the company produces is fitted with carpets made using 470 single-use plastic drink bottles.
Padtoets: 2019 Mahindra XUV 500 2.2 CRDe W10
Minder uit die beursie, meer waarde.
Die SUV (Sportsnut voertuig) mark is nie onbekend aan Suider Afrika nie. Nie net is die een van die mees populêre segmente nie, maar verkies amper elke vervaardiger om deesdae ‘n gedeelte van hierdie koek te neem. Om ‘n voertuig te ontwikkel, wat bekostigbaar is en goeie kwaliteit behou, is dus uiter kompiterend. Mahindra mag dalk net met die oplossing vorendag gekom het.
Tested: 2019 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross 2.0
What was once a laughable trickle became a sizable stream, then a raging river before morphing into a fully-blown tsunami with no discernible end: the onslaught of compact SUV’s. Most vehicle manufacturers now have more Mommy 4×4’s than any other vehicle on their disjointed websites… and Mitsubishi is no exception.
Tested: 2018 Kia Grand Sedona 2.2 CRDi EX+
The beluga whale
New cars are jolly expensive these days, especially when you consider the amount of metal you get for your money. MPV’s and minibuses represent the best value but they tend to look (and feel) so boxy… enter stage left, this cool new Kia.
Bekendstelling: 2019 Mahindra XUV300
Mahindra se nuutste sportsnuts, die XUV300
In die passasiersmotormark in Suid-Afrika wat tans maar traag is, is die segment vir die kleiner gesinsmotor die enigste een wat groei toon. Hierdie nuwe produk van Mahindra is duidelik vir die mark bedoel. Dit word die XUV300 (drie dubbel nul) genoem en pas mooi in tussen sy twee familielede, die klein KUV100 en die groter XUV500.
