Namibia's content-driven motoring portal
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.
Our southern neighbours have a guild of motoring journalists who, not always without some controversy, selected their pick of new cars since 1986. Here is a list of all winners since then and some links to our NamWheels Cars of the Year lists further down:
Here’s our list of cars we tested in 2015 which made such a good impression that we just had to tell you about them…
I’ve been so looking forward to testing the latest offering from Volvo. There’s been massive hype around the launch and I was privileged enough to get an early insight into this rather impressive SUV during August of this year, but it’s always even better to be able to poke around, fiddle with new knobs and dials and really get to grips with a new vehicle during a test week.
Volvo is known for building safe, reliable family cars and their big seven-seater XC90 SUV has always typified this. While the outgoing model was still a great car, a wave of fresh design and new technology is sweeping through the Swedish manufacturer with this brand-new XC90 at the pointy end.
Niche cars are all the rage nowadays. Niche cars, in case you didn’t know this, are vehicles which fill alleged gaps between various segments of the market. Volvo’s V40 already straddles hatch and estate chairs but has just been given a pair of gum boots to turn it into the V40 Cross Country.
Sometimes it’s great to be a motoring journalist. Hang on, actually it’s pretty awesome being a car journo. Our own cars tend to be non-existent, broken or extremely impractical so when some unexpected visitors propose a scenic tour around the Cape Peninsula, one simply phones around a bit.
