Our top picks for mom • With Mother’s Day around the corner, we scouted some cool gift ideas for the adventurous moms out there!

Feels like HOME • It’s been called the most trusted name in the medium SUV segment, iconic and commanding… and all the while it remains at the top of the bestseller list. Having driven the latest iteration at the recent South African launch, LIANA REINERS understands why.

Hello FRENCHIE! • Ten years after the Renault Captur was first introduced to the world, the highly anticipated updated version has been launched in South Africa. LIANA REINERS reveals all that is good about the newcomer.

Certainly no ONE-TRICK PONY • December 2022 saw Ford unveiling the long-awaited next-generation Ranger double cab, with immediate acclaim from critics and consumers alike. Now Ford is looking to take a big step in a market sector where it has historically fallen short, with the introduction of the Ranger single and super cab line-up. ANTON WILLEMSE JNR explains why this is his favourite segment of bakkies.

The truth is that things or places are often described as grand when they really aren’t. Although the central part doesn’t really apply to Suzuki’s latest new offering, it most certainly is quite grand. She drove it during the recent local media launch.

Defenders IN THE MIST • For the 2023 Defender Trophy – Limpopo, 16 Defenders and a sole Ineos Grenadier traversed one of South Africa’s lesser-known treasures, the Soutpansberg Mountains. PATRICK CRUYWAGEN joined in the fun.

Best served with a twist of a cold front and a dash of South African humour. CHRISTIEN NESER recently experienced this once-in-a-lifetime adventure.

Go, hamba, gaan… TSAMAYA! • The Karoo is not normally a place one would associate with a crossover vehicle such as the Kia Seltos. It sounds more like 4x4 country. ANTON WILLEMSE SNR met up with five fellow motoring scribes for a three-day roadtrip to prove that it can, indeed, be done.

THE TOUGH keep going • In the previous issue we shared the first part of the AUTOBARN CHARTWELL TO CHARTWELL (C2C) mission from South Africa to the United Kingdom. We pick up the...
