Namibia's content-driven motoring portal
In ons Namibiese / Suider-Afrikaanse mark doen klein en bekostigbare luikrug voertuie uiters goed, waarvan die Renault Kwid, Datsun Go, Peugeot 108, Mahindra KUV 100, Hyundai Atos en Toyota Aygo maar net sommige van die top-verkopers is. Suzuki is die mees onlangse vervaardiger wat nou ‘n voertuig ingebring het om in die segment mee te ding.
My bekoring vir die Suzuki Swift het sowat 14 jaar gelede begin. Toe Per-Gunnar Anderson in ‘n helder-geel Swift Super 1600 die FIA Junior Wêreld Tydren kampioenskap gewen het. Met drie seges het Anderson die seisoen domineer. In soortgelyke styl het Aaron Burkart die laaste S1600 jaar in 2010 verower. Hierna sou die Junior Wêreld Tydren kampioenskap na R2 masjiene beweeg.
Suzuki isn’t exactly known for innovation. Value for money, yes. Reliability and no-frills motoring, most certainly. But now the Japanese brand may add more glory to their local, award-winning reputation with the innovative launch of their new S-Presso compact urban SUV.
Toilet paper. Airtime. Socks. Not only do these everyday necessities have a symbolic resemblance to my latest test car, I’m also waffling a bit because I’m fairly convinced that nobody hunts for reviews of budget seven-seater minivans. Or do they? In which case, welcome, dear friend of big cars for small money…
Oral in Suid Afrika se groot stede raak Suzuki’s gewilder, met die Japannese vervaardiger wat bykans elke nuwe maand hul eie rekord breek. Natuurlik is die klein Swift een van die hoofredes vir hierdie suksesverhaal en met ons onlangse besoek aan Johannesburg is dit weereens bewys waarom hierdie klein voertuig (met ‘n enorme persoonlikheid) so suksesvol is.
After more than twenty years, the Jimny has been replaced by this all-new fourth generation and it is better in every way; quite literally. Following, we will show you why the new Jimny is the perfect companion for two adventurous travelers.
I’ve just returned from an exciting Suzuki launch at Redstar Raceway in eastern Gauteng. This tyre-shredding day celebrated the arrival of the Japanese brand’s “Boosterjet” turbocharger technology in the agile Swift Sport and popular Vitara models.

Ford Mustang, Ferrari F40, Mercedes 300SL Gullwing. All of these are legends in their own right and will get you plenty of attention but if you need a little more – right now I guarantee it – just get yourself the brand-new Suzuki Jimny. Our test car’s black stickers on crazy lumo-green-yellow paint can probably help as well.
Looking for a small seven-seater car, with ample leg- and head room, to expand your travel business or to zip along the Garden Route with the family? Well, Suzuki has just launched their solution to this and it is not going to cost you an arm or a leg.
