The Mitsubishi Destinator is the family SUV surprise of the year | Mail & Guardian (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I will be completely honest. I was not looking forward to the arrival of the new Mitsubishi Destinator. My last encounter with the brand's compact crossover offerings was the Outlander Sport last year, and that experience left me severely underwhelmed. My main gripe with the Outlander Sport was how sluggish it felt on the road, hampered by a lethargic naturally aspirated engine, alongside interior plastics that felt heavily compromised. So, when the keys to the brand new Destinator were handed t
How the Jetour T2 conquered Sani Pass and earned its place in SA motoring heritage (opens the original)
Read excerpt
With Heritage Day upon us, it is the perfect time to reflect on what actually constitutes South African motoring culture. If you ask the average enthusiast, a braai and a rugged bakkie are the standard answers. However, true motoring heritage in this country often lives high up in the mountains.

The new iX3 is a fully electric SUV that gained a fair amount of mixed reactions following its global launch in late 2025 due to its distinct design language and overly futuristic interior. However, it was also named 2026 World Car of the Year. In fact, it took home a double victory, also winning the 2026 World Electric Vehicle title against fierce competition. The main theme around the media launch was "More BMW than ever"
Vehicle sales surge but buyers hit the brakes on vehicles beyond R500K (opens the original)
Read excerpt
If you have scrolled through online configurators of major legacy automotive brands, you would be forgiven for thinking that every motorist in South Africa has suddenly stumbled into a trust fund. The pricing of modern vehicles has become untethered from the economic reality of the people expected to buy them. Top-tier double-cab bakkies, like the Toyota Hilux and Ford Ranger, vehicles that once served as the humble, utilitarian backbone of the economy, are comfortably pushing past the R800 000
