Legend 55 signals the end for the seventh generation or AN110 Hilux, which has been on-sale globally since 2015.

Gateway to seven-seater ladder frame SUV range now R128 000 cheaper than before.

New off-roader even manages to undercut its direct Chinese rival by almost R16 000.

This victory marks a historic milestone. With the brand becoming the first Chinese automotive manufacturer to claim the prestigious title in the competition’s 40-year history.

New energy brand launches with two EVs, with a range-extending EV or REEV joining either by year-end or in early 2027.

Seemingly, the Pajero will take the place of the Pajero Sport. However, this remains to be confirmed.

As Tata only re-entered South Africa last year, for the moment, the facelift Taigo has not yet been approved.

South African star will lose his Red Bull KTM seat, but there could be other possibilities.

If approved for South Africa, the Dolphin G DM-i could become the country’s most affordable plug-in hybrid.

Built as a 735kW, 1 200Nm homage to Brabus founder, Bodo Buschmann, only 77 units of this car will be produced.

While BYD’s Sealion 5 currently holds the accolade of most affordable plug-in hybrid, the Atto 2 DM-i will likely change that.

The second recall in as many weeks involves 920 vehicles sold between 2021 and 2023.
