Padtoets: 2017 Toyota Aygo 1L

17 January 201815 October 2017 by Franco Theron

Die Stedelike Ontdekkingsreisiger

In Suidelike Afrika is daar twee groot probleme. Stede soos Windhoek, Johannesburg en Kaapstad raak digter bevolk. Nie meer is dit ‘n vinnige uitstappie om in die kar te spring en na die naaste winkelsentrum te ry nie. Tyd, verkeer en padwerke moet in ag geneem word. Die tweede probleem is natuurlik die styging in petrol pryse. Dit is nie meer ekonomies vatbaar om met ‘n groot voertuig in die stad rond te vertoef nie en baie vervaardigers is besig om juis hierdie kwessie aan te spreek.

High mileage Hino!

30 August 201726 June 2017 by NamWheels Admin

MORE THAN 2.3-MILLION KILOMETRES AND STILL GOING STRONG!

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!

Sprint Review: Toyota Etios Sprint

24 February 201819 May 2017 by Hanjo Stier

One new car, lots of information in short paragraphs

What you may want to know: From the moment our test car arrived it was crystal clear that, thanks to its name, this car was always going to get a Sprint Review. Toyota’s cheapy Etios range is available in hatchback or sedan shape with a 1.5-litre petrol engine and three spec levels – Xi, Cross (hatchback only) or this “Sprint” version.

Bekendstelling: Toyota Etios Sprint

25 July 20175 April 2017 by Johan Mouton

Bekostigbare vervoer en ‘n naam wat mens kan vertrou.

Die Etios was nog altyd ‘n baie belangrike model in die stal van Toyota Suid Afrika en dié model is redelik gewild in ‘n baie kompiterende segment. Dit bied bekostigbare vervoer in ‘n tyd wat motors baie duur geword het. Toyota se Etios word in Indië vervaardig vir die Indiese mark, asook vir Suidelike Afrika, Brasilië en Indonesië.

Tested: Chevrolet Trailblazer 2.8D LTZ 4×4

24 February 20182 April 2017 by Hanjo Stier

Butch presence and new gadgets – we test the updated Chevrolet Trailblazer.

Right, so you live in Suburbia, have a couple of kids and lead an active lifestyle. Where before a “Kombi”, some station wagon or 4×4 double-cab may have done the trick, your next automotive purchase must tick all those boxes. Stand around any respectable Namibian braai and most attendees would strongly advise Toyota’s recurrent Fortuner, but we at NamWheels would like to suggest the new Chevrolet Trailblazer…

The basic luxury

26 September 20173 March 2017 by NamWheels Admin

Fancy equipment and new technology is good, right?

We may have a problem. Well, maybe not all of us but a very specific group of people. In fact, it’s only a tiny percentage of the population but I fear that the issue is so grave that it warrants its own set of paragraphs and a jolly good rant.

Sprint Review: Toyota Prius

27 July 201716 December 2016 by Hanjo Stier

A new car, lots of information in short paragraphs.

What you need to know: The Toyota Prius was the first petrol-electric hybrid vehicle to go into mass production around 1997 and its maker sold about nine million hybrids since (including Lexus). 2,900 of those were in bakkie-mad, long-distance southern Africa. Exact Namibian sales numbers unknown…

21 July 20171 December 2016 by NamWheels Admin

So here’s something different. Each year we list our favourite new cars which were launched over the last 12 months but this time around, instead of us telling you which ones we liked, our Facebook page invited YOU to vote your favourite new ride of 2016.

The list of candidates was chosen from the launches we attended or vehicles we thought were brilliant newcomers and worthy of being included in this line-up.

Top List: Boot Space

26 June 20172 August 2016 by NamWheels Admin

Ag no man. Your mother-in-law is coming along on holiday and the kids want to take ALL their toys and sports equipment along. Where are you going to fit all of this?

Perhaps you have already invested in a sizable trailer and decent roof-top box but your car simply can’t handle more luggage. Well, we at NamWheels love to help and have compiled a list of cars with at least 400L of luggage space. Big enough to put your skoonma in the boot.

Padtoets: Toyota Fortuner

25 July 201720 June 2016 by Franco Theron

“Ek wou nog altyd seil, maar my vrees vir water oorweldig my!”

Sedert Toyota se Fortuner model in 2005 bekend gestel is, het hierdie voertuig as die mees suksesvolle 4×4 familie-voertuig bekend gestaan. Ontwerp om ‘n tussenganger van die destydse Condor en die Prado modelle te wees, het hierdie voertuig ‘n relatief goedkoper opsie aan die koper gebied. Dit sou ook op die Hilux DNA ontwerp word en uiteraard ook dieselfde karaktereienskappe bevat.
