Blast from the past - Nissan’s Hardbody Hi-Rider

Nissan’s NP300 Hardbody series has been produced here for almost two decades, with very little in the way of radical change. Recently we got our hands on a 2019 version with some slight revisions.

Mitsubishi Triton 2.4Di-D 4X4 Auto Review

Seeing as South Africa’s national vehicle is the bakkie, there should be a large enough market for every contender to find plenty of buyers, right? That’s what you’d think, at least, yet some very worthy contenders are largely ignored in the sales race. One of these perennial runners-up comes from Mitsubishi, and carries a Triton badge. We spent some time with one, to figure out why people don’t seem to want them.

2019 Mercedes-Benz CLA 200 Review

The previous generation CLA functioned as a conquest model for Mercedes-Benz. It had a unique positioning that appealed to first-time Merc buyers who weren’t taken in by the dreary B-Class or the mainstream A-Class. The German automaker expects similar standings with its new generation model and is also looking toward current owners who are in the market to upgrade.

Toyota GR Supra 3.0T Review

Of all the (fairly) modern cars which have attained cult status, the Toyota Supra is possibly one of the most iconic. So it was understandable that enthusiasts rejoiced when Toyota announced the rebirth of this sports car, and it was also understandable when they cried about the new Supra using a BMW platform as a starting point. But maybe they just need to drive one to realise that the new Supra is so much more than just a badge-engineered Z4. Allow us to explain why.

BMW X4 M40d - At the edge of perfection

The coupé styling of the even-numbered X vehicles from BMW may not be to everyone's liking, so we took the latest X4 derivative on test and found that beauty is more than skin deep.

2019 Mercedes-Benz B200 AMG Line: Much like an A-Class, only better.

It may have started out as the weird A-Class’s even weirder MPV-like sibling, but the Mercedes-Benz B-Class has since matured into a model with its own merits, even though it’s always been built around A-Class bones. That’s not a bad thing these days, though: the latest A-Class is a very capable machine, and it’s loaded with fresh technology. So does starting with all that goodness and then scaling it up translate into the best B-Class yet?
