The Ranger Tremor still sits on the 2.0L Bi-Turbo diesel engine and full-time 4WD as the XLT. #FordRanger #RangerTremor

The new Audi A3 & A3 Sportback - spotting a striking front spoiler that connects the two intakes and makes the A3 appear lower, large angular side air intakes, up to four different daytime running light signatures and an interior resembling that of the RS models.

The A3 is set to launch with two engine/transmission options - the 35 TFSII 1.5L petrol engine that puts out 110kW as a seven-speed S tronic option and mild-hybrid technology. The 35 TDI is a diesel option that also puts out 110kW and has a seven-speed S-tronic transmission.

Camping trip in the Mahindra Scorpio-N? Don’t mind if we do.

@leruo_gumzito took the 2.2 diesel powered Scorpio-N on the beaten track and it proved to be able to take on the off-roads much the same as the urban tracks.

Pricing starts at R473 999 for this spacious SUV and we have a full review dropping on our site soon(link in bio)

The Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV has grown up a little, and made an even bigger impact on the road. We joined Mercedes at the launch of the fully-electric EQS SUV alongside its younger sibling, the EQE SUV at The Polo on a sunny Friday afternoon; certainly under the right conditions for the day.

Mercedes-Benz has retained its signature interior of the cars, with the addition of the hyper screen that spreads out from the passenger side(unfortunately, not available in our market) in some of the models and a well-off play with regards to how well laid out the storage in the car has been taken into consideration.

EQS SUV: R2 577 000 - also available in a 7-seater option.

Look out for a full review dropping soon.

The Audi RS arsenal is truly something else, and to experience these cars in a controlled environment as we did, in itself is also something else.

The Audi Driving Experience enables performance enthusiasts to truly experience the various RS models, including the RS6 Avant Performance & the RS7 Sportback Performance, in a detailed full-day program goes through safety elements before taking on the hot laps around the Kyalami Grand Prix Circuit.

A humbling experience that would easily remind one not to take RennSport lightly.

Spent the morning sampling the Isuzu mu-X 1.9L, which has been fitted with the same engine that took the KB LS from Joburg to Cape Town in 1 fuel tank.

Efficiency is the name of the game with the 1.9 mu-X while keeping the same comfort & ruggedness that the car has become known for.

The 1.9L mu-X LS A/T 4x2 is powered by an engine that puts out 110kW @ 350Nm & pricing starts at R708 000.

The new Mercedes-Benz V-Class has been unveiled to

The new Mercedes-Benz V-Class has been unveiled today and it looks at raising the bar even further not only in luxury mid-sized van but also to sharpen the premium business segment.

The Mercedes-Benz V-Class will see a refreshed look across the range, with an addition of the EQV & V-Class Marco Polo which is more on the luxurious side, the eVito & Vito.

One of the focal points will be the new front design, which is characterized by a striking radiator grille in different forms and a powerfully drawn bumper.

And then there's the all-electric EQV - we are yet to confirm the range on this model.

The winner would definitely be the new Marco Polo raising the bar a bit in terms of trim-levels(wonder if it'll make our market)🤔
