…workhorse, with a clean layout and proper physical controls, though tech like Apple CarPlay can be a bit hit and miss. On the road, it drives like an EV most of the time. Smooth, quiet and surprisingly punchy, with the petrol engine…

We spent some time with the Changan Hunter REEV and it’s easily one of the more interesting bakkies in SA right now. Finished in Olive Green, it looks the part with a bold, modern design and a slightly premium edge. Inside, it feels more SUV than… #ChanganSA #HunterREEV #KOWGarage

…engine is a gem. Replacing the D300, it brings an extra 36 kW and 50 Nm, and you can feel it. The Defender rides smoothly thanks to its air suspension, handling both highway cruising and stop-start traffic with ease. It is a bit thirsty though, with our stint…

If there’s one car you see almost every single day, especially in the city, it’s the Land Rover Defender. The keen-eyed will notice the updates, but even without them, the design of this large SUV remains timeless. Inside, we love… #LandRoverSA #DefenderD350 #KOWGarage

…alloys give it proper presence, and it suits the boxy SUV shape well. The HEV setup is the highlight. With 179 kW and 530 Nm, it feels strong low down and effortless in daily driving. Fuel economy is also a big plus compared to its ICE counterpart. The only downside is that…

After sampling the Haval H6 PHEV yesterday, we had the opportunity to get into the H7 HEV Black Edition right after. The styling leans darker and more assertive this time around. The blacked-out grille, darker trim and new… #HavalSA #GWMSA #HavalH7 #H7HEV #H7BlackEdition

…more. Inside, it’s tech-heavy and comfortable, with the large infotainment screen and premium touches adding to the overall feel. Early impressions are promising, especially in 4x4 form. 📝/📸: @malusicmsomi

…delivery feels smooth, and the way it puts it down makes the car feel planted and composed. In electric mode, it’s quiet and refined, with up to 106 km of range, while the switch to hybrid power is seamless when you need…

Today we spent some time with the H6 1.5T DHT Ultra Luxury 4x4 PHEV. With 268 kW and 760 Nm from its Hi-4 plug-in hybrid setup, it’s properly strong, but it’s the AWD system that stands out. Power…#GWMSA #HavalH6 #H6PHEV

We’ve touched down in Midrand with GWM South Africa for the launch of the new Haval H6 PHEV. At a glance, it builds on the familiar H6 formula but adds a proper electrified twist. The new plug-in hybrid pairs a turbocharged petrol engine with… #GWMSA #HavalH6 #H6PHEV

…especially when summer decides to act up. Driving the Across is a joy. The mild-hybrid powertrain works well with the 6-speed automatic, and we’re glad it doesn’t go gear-hunting every five seconds. During our drive, we managed a solid…

Today we spent some time in the new Suzuki Across GLX auto. We have to say, we appreciate the simple styling, especially at the rear, with the brake light spanning the width. Clean, no drama. Inside, it’s a good… #SuzukiSA #SuzukiAcross #Across
