The bakkie has the size, tech and power on paper to hold its own, but it’s what happens on the road that counts most.

At average price of over R800k, GWM P500 HEV was SA’s fastest-selling used hybrid car in April.

New SUV comes with lots of power, good looks, spec and starts at a great price to boot.

Sporty van takes six occupants on marathon trip while sipping only 8 litres per 100km.

SUV has pure electric range of 40km and goes on for 930km before recharging or refuelling.

The five-day route started in KwaZulu-Natal and ended in the Eastern Cape via a trek up the Sani Pass and into Lesotho.

L8 will formally debut locally before the end of the year.

Upgraded T1 is still to be confirmed for South Africa and will most likely only arrive either by year-end or in 2027 if granted approval.

Based on the Renault Duster, the Tekton will make its South African market arrival later this year.

Arriving four years after the panel van variant, the passenger Trafic is expected to provide seating for nine.
