Amid the rollercoaster of exchange rates, Hyundai is hoping to get its refreshed 2019 Tucson noticed by buyers who are spoilt for choice when it comes to picking out a mid-sized SUV which all claim to do the same multitasking things. First there’s the cosmetic overhaul which to our...

We drive the new 2019 Ford Ranger Raptor in South Africa. Not some aftermarket kit, is it? Nope. Built locally in Pretoria on an assembly line that runs parallel to the new-gen Ranger, Ford’s 2019 Ranger Raptor isn’t merely one of the dressed-up Wildtrak’s you see affixed with different...

The Honda Type R had a good run – about two years at the top of Nurburgring’s FWD records. Now Renault’s Trophy-R is back to reclaim a record it last held in 2014. And it does so with a lot fewer wings than the Civic. Pity the 220kW 1.8-litre...

The trucks are all the same Sharks, Zombies, Bulls. Underneath the trademark Monster Jam bodyshells – which stands around 3.2 metres tall – each monster truck runs an identical chassis and engine setup built and assembled in the USA. Think of it like platform sharing between production cars. The...

Let’s not beat around the baobab; ahead of time we received what many would consider a Christmas wishlist and December holiday to make your neighbours jealous. A confluence of Land Rover, Thule and Specialized are mutual synergies to a fitter, healthier and more adventurous you with a discerning eye...

It’s been over a year since we homed an Isuzu as part of our garage. That car, also a KB. The contents of my current house largely attributed to the space behind the double cab section and its 1000kg payload. Now there’s the 2018 Isuzu X-Rider version which unlike the limited...
