Oh good, another crossover SUV. But instead of spitting sarcasm and ranting all day, I’ll try to give you a good impression of this new Volksie…
VW
Tested: 190kW Volkswagen Amarok V6 Tdi
Many manufacturers stick ‘sport’ badges on their top-tier models, knowing fully well that it might not be sporty at all. The new more-powerful 3.0 litre v6 Amarok, rather deserves this badge, yet silently springs a surprise on keen challengers.
International launch: Volkswagen Polo
Striking new look and features for the new Volkswagen Polo
Volkswagen just launched its restyled Polo – set to be introduced with a design similar to the new Golf 8 as well as an updated interior. This makes the new Polo look seemingly young and digitally integrated.
Comparison: Volvo XC90 vs everyone else
Why is it always the poor Volvos we compare to other vehicles? We at NamWheels believe that they offer such refreshing alternatives to those regular market dominators that direct comparisons are absolutely necessary.
Tested: VW Tiguan 2.0 TDi 4Motion R-Line
More expensive is always the better, right?
To answer in short: No. Ask me what I would purchase with the odd R650,000 and I will without a doubt choose the Volkswagen Golf GTi or even Golf R. These two models are sublime and the ideal small family package for those more inclined to have a heavy right foot.
First Drive: Volkswagen T-Roc
Drive to Defy. Although my co-pilot and I were tempted to visit an appliance warehouse, what Volkswagen of South Africa meant by that tagline is that their new compact crossover is meant for the defiant among us. City slickers get a T-Cross, families should grab a Tiguan while the movers and shakers may welcome this new T-Roc.
Padtoets: 2020 VW Amarok Dark Label
Gedurende Desember van 2019 het ons die geleentheid gehad om die Volkswagen Amarok Canyon vir ‘n maand deur die passe te plaas. Gerieflik genoeg is die Canyon gebruik om te help met ‘n verhuisings-proses asook ‘n kort vakansie deur die grondpaaie van die Suid-Kaap. Die Canyon het ‘n geweldige leemte gelaat nadat dit weggeneem is in vroeg Januarie. Nou, ses maande later, is die Amarok Dark Label aan ons gegee vir ‘n week.
T-Roc set to launch digitally in SA
One year after the successful launch of the Volkswagen T-Cross in South Africa, the slightly bigger T-Roc is set to be revealed to the general public on 17 June 2020. It should hit the roads of South Africa, Namibia and Botswana in November 2020. This will complete Volkswagen’s T-SUV range in South Africa.
Launch report: Volkswagen Golf (Limited Edition) GTi TCR
Final Golf 7 to hit South-African roads with some TCR vrrrrpha!
As the world currently sees itself in a pandemic, most of us are eagerly waiting to take on the roads again. Well, Volkswagen South Africa might just have the perfect solution, but you will have to jump as only a very limited number of these models will be sold in southern Africa.
