3 Reasons Why Suzuki Vitara is #CarsAwards Finalist
What makes the Suzuki Vitara 1.6 GLX Auto a formidable contender in the Compact Family Car category of the 2017/18 Cars.co.za Consumer Awards – powered by WesBank? We investigate…
The higher-spec automatic sibling of the 2016/17 #CarsAwards Compact Family Car category winner is the quintessential compact crossover and seems perfectly in tune with modern tastes. The Vitara is a well-made product that offers an attractive blend of style, spaciousness, features, refinement and “Suzuki-ness”. The latter aspect is important because Suzuki is well-known for offering great service and reliability, which has made it the current #CarsAwards Brand Of The Year. Will the Vitara retain its champion status in the Compact Family Car category?
3 Reasons Why Suzuki Vitara 1.6 GLX is a #CarsAwards Finalist
1. Frugal sipper
Powered by a naturally-aspirated 1.6-litre petrol engine with 86 kW and 151 Nm of torque, the Vitara automatic offers good refinement with an indestructible demeanor. It’s also light on fuel and Suzuki claims a combined cycle consumption figure of 6.0 L/100 km and we’ve found the Vitara’s engine to be consistently frugal. We are quite confident, therefore, that owners should get close to 800 km from a single 47 L tank.
2. Practical design
The Vitara’s boxy design benefits interior space hugely. The well-shaped boot is rated at 375 L, but by folding the 60:40 split rear seats more than 1 200 L of space is on offer. Most impressively, this good luggage capacity doesn’t come at the cost of rear passenger space. Even comparatively tall adults will find the rear bench comfortable, with good levels of leg- and headroom. The ground clearance of 185 mm, generously plump tyres and good refinement also makes the Vitara one of the few modern-day crossovers that truly feels comfortable on rougher gravel surfaces.
3. Comfortable and packed with features
The Vitara’s comfort levels are benefited hugely by the cabin’s spaciousness and a suspension set-up tuned with comfort in mind. In fact, refinement appears to have been a major focus area, as the Vitara’s low drivetrain noise further contributes to a relaxed, pleasant ambience. The specification level is generous, too, with a height-adjustable driver’s seat, climate control, cruise control, keyless start, Bluetooth and USB support, suede upholstery, automatically activated lights and wipers, front and rear PDC, LED running lights, panoramic sunroof and roof rails.

The new Countryman range was recently expanded with the introduction of a turbodiesel derivative – marking the first time an "oil-burning" Mini has been made available in the local market. However, given how impressive the brand's turbopetrol powerplants are, is there space for something as seemingly "un-Mini" as a D version? We investigate.
We Like: Strong, yet frugal diesel powertrain; interior quality, practicality
We Don’t Like: Pricey optional features
Alternatives
The fashionista's choice: The Mercedes-Benz GLA 200d auto is powered by a 2.1-litre turbocharged petrol engine with 100 kW and 300 Nm of torque. It’s not as youthful as the Mini and perhaps not as playful to drive, but it’s definitely an alternative worth considering. It is also quite pricey, coming in at R534 000.
The Swedish crossover: The Volvo V40 Cross Country D3 Momentum is a little smaller than the Countryman but offers a sleeker, more hatchback-like shape that seems less bulbous. The current generation V40 CC is getting quite long in the tooth, but it does have an admirable range of petrol and diesel engines and a comfortable interior.
The tiniest Q: TheAudi Q2 2.0TDI Sport S Line Automatic has loads of styling appeal and a lower power output of 105 kW, although it has 20 Nm more torque (350 Nm). It’s not cheap, but competes well in terms of visual appeal; it suits those looking to draw attention.
Although turbodiesel Minis have been a part of the European motoring landscape since BMW took custodianship of the brand, this is the first D derivative in South Africa.
What is it?
What is the world coming to? First Mini introduces a sensible compact family car called the Countryman and now it's chosen a turbodiesel engine to power it! Here we have a vehicle that could quite possibly be called the Anti-Mini. It's the Mini Countryman, tested in Cooper D automatic guise. The 2nd generation Countryman is a decisive leap forward for the Mini brand. The 1st generation Countryman was hindered by an overly firm ride and featured some questionable quality cabin plastics that critics felt weren't quite up to Mini's attainable-luxury brand image. Compared with the outgoing model, the new Countryman is bigger, longer, wider, better finished and, indeed, a relatively practical family car.
The addition of a turbodiesel engine mixes things up a bit. Whereas you'd assume that a fun and funky brand such as Mini would be hellbent on using nothing but zesty turbopetrol powerplants, a turbodiesel engine makes a fair amount of sense. The Countryman is marketed as a more mature proposition and the economy offered by a so-called oil burner could appeal to those seeking a more relaxed way of driving. But does it actually work?
A turbodiesel engine makes more sense in the Countryman than you'd expect. Think of it as a cheaper, funkier and more stylish BMW X1.
The Good
The merits of the engine
The turbodiesel engine of choice is the N47 from BMW, which does duty in many products from the Bavarian manufacturer's Group. We've experienced this powerplant before in the BMW X1, but in that application, it has been tuned to deliver more oomph. On paper, outputs of 110 kW and 330 Nm are on par for the segment. It's not overly clattery like 'diesels of an older generation and the power delivery is reasonably smooth.
Quirky fascia architecture of the Countryman is still an acquired taste (especially the circular infotainment cluster), but build quality impresses.
Still-Engaging Ride and Drive
The Mini Countryman Cooper D undoubtedly retains its Mini-esque driving traits. The engine delivers all of its torque early in the rev range and liberal use of throttle will see the rev counter and speedometer needles climb almost in unison. It's only towards the top of the rev range that some rough engine noise translates to the cabin, but the newer-generation Mini cabins have super NVH suppression, which helps to drown out excess noise.
As we've sampled the Countryman's petrol-engined siblings before, we were quite relieved to find that the Cooper D drives in much the same manner, which is fantastic as some motorists regard turbodiesel cars as a trifle boring (if not controversial, but Dieselgate is another story).
Nevertheless, the Countryman drives well. The ride is a bit on the firm side and unlike its hatchback siblings, body roll is apparent, so you can't just pitch it into corners and plant your right foot on the loud pedal like the Minis of old. The steering is set up for more long-road comfort, so while the wheel is light to twirl, it needs more lock applied to turn in with urgency (compared with ordinary Minis, remember the Countryman has a wider track).
The six-speed automatic does a fine job of keeping the engine in the sweet spot as well as helping keep consumption down
The Not-so-good
Cost of options
Like all Minis, a vast array of optional features are on offer to customise your car to your preferences. For buyers, this is both an attractive and costly exercise. Fortunately, it's not as dire a situation as the Countryman flagship JCW whose price can rapidly inflate to crazy levels. With Countryman Cooper D however, the derivative's tantalisingly competitive price – it offers 50 N.m more torque than its Cooper S sibling, but costs about R44k less (November 2017) – means that, budget permitting, you could spec a few additional options while still coming in cheaper than its turbodiesel rivals and the aforementioned S derivative. May we suggest the Wired pack, which enhances the connectivity and navigation options at R28 000?
Price and warranty
This Mini Countryman Cooper D automatic is priced at R475 684 and is sold with a 2-year/unlimited km warranty and a 5-year/100 000 km maintenance plan with service intervals set at 20 000 km.
The diesel automatic combination of the Mini Countryman Cooper make for a refined and mature drive, but will anyone actually buy it?
What the Countryman Cooper D loses in driving fun compared with its petrol siblings (it has a more laidback throttle response, for what that's worth), it more than makes up for it in terms of value for money and fuel economy. A turbodiesel offering literally and figuratively sounds like the antithesis of what Mini stands for, but the reality is that greater choice and variety benefits the consumer.
We don't expect the Cooper D will be much of a threat to its petrol-powered siblings in terms of sales, but it makes sense for those who have a keen interest in consuming the lowest possible litres per 100 kilometres. The engine pulls well, offers plenty of in-gear overtaking shove and, while petrolheads may scoff at the idea of a turbodiesel family-friendly Mini, in reality, the D represents a sensible, value-for-money proposition.
The arrival of an all-new Range Rover has caused quite a stir – and understandably so. Essentially the cousin to the Jaguar F-Pace, the Velar is the boutique full-sized premium SUV equivalent of the Evoque, but much more sophisticated and exclusive, of course.
The Velar has arrived to almost universal acclaim for its stellar looks. But a car's appeal has to be more than skin deep for it to achieve success. In this video, we take a detailed look at the newcomer. We cover its rather exceptional interior and new features such as the dual touchscreen infotainment systems.
We stretch the legs of the potent V6 motor fitted to our top spec P380 HSE test unit and we even delve into the rather mundane but critical topic of rear leg room. And, given that the Velar and Sport are so similarly priced in South Africa, we sense some sibling rivalry in the Range Rover line-up. As impressive as the Velar may be, we couldn't help but ask ourselves: which one is the better Range Rover?
Mercedes-Benz has revealed the next-generation CLS 4-door coupe at the LA Motor Show! Take a look at the details below!
The Mercedes-Benz CLS is a stylish 4-door coupe that rides on the E-Class platform and an all-new, third generation model has been revealed at the LA Motor Show. The new CLS is expected to arrive in South Africa in the fourth quarter of 2018.
Styling details
The new CLS' styling has received mixed reactions, particularly when viewed from the rear.
Much like the CLS versions before it, this new CLS still exudes a distinct 4-door coupe outline. The front-end is dominated by a single louvre, diamond grille that slants forward and widens at its base. The grille is flanked by newly designed LED headlights that are flat and wide but inward slanting to follow the contour of the grille. From the side, the new CLS displays a high waistline with frameless windows, giving it a sporty edge. At the rear, the CLS features a new 2-section taillight design with a crystalline appearance that gives them a 3D effect.
A 12.3-inch Widescreen Cockpit first seen on the E-class has made its way into the CLS.
The interior design communicates a sense of width and general spaciousness with high-quality finishes. A major design highlight is the illuminated air vents which are inspired by jet engine turbines and they also enhance the overall visual appeal of the interior. Furthermore, a 12.3-inch Widescreen Cockpit will be offered as an option, much like that found on the E-Class. The fully digital cockpit can be configured according to your tastes with 3 styles on offer including Classic, Sport and Progressive. Interior ambient lighting is individually adjustable with 64 colours to choose from.
The seats were specifically designed for the CLS with the outer rear seats adopting the same appearance as the front seats giving it a sporty single-seat impression. However, the CLS has been designed to seat 5 people for the first time. The rear seats can be folded down in a 40/20/40 configuration to open up more space. The luggage bay offers 520 litres of space.
Engine details
A total of 3 engines will be offered from launch with outputs ranging from 210 kW to 270 kW.
The new CLS will be powered by a range of in-line 6-cylinder and in-line 4-cylinder petrol and diesel engines. At launch, the CLS will be offered with the choice of three 3.0-litre 6-cylinder engines seen in the CLS 350d, CLS 400d and CLS 450, all with 4Matic all-wheel drive.
The CLS 350d 4MAtic will offer 210 kW and 600 Nm of torque while the CLS 400d 4Matic will offer 250 kW and 700 Nm of torque. The petrol-powered CLS 450 4Matic is systematically electrified with an integrated starter/generator (EQ Boost) and 48 V onboard electrical system. Power outputs for this derivative are pegged at 270 kW and 500 Nm of torque with an additional 16 kW and 250 Nm available using EQ Boost for short periods. A bespoke CLS Edition 1 will also be available for a period of about 1 year after market launch.
The CLS rides on a 4-link front suspension and a 5-link rear suspension. A steel comfort suspension is offered as standard while the Dynamic Body Control and Air Body Control suspension systems will be offered as an option.
A smattering of safety and driver assistance technology is offered on the new CLS, mostly from the latest S-Class.
The CLS has inherited much of its latest driver assistance technology from the latest S-Class including the optional Driving Assistance Package which includes Active Distance Control DISTRONIC, Active Steering Assist, Active Speed Limit Assist, Active Brake Assist with cross-traffic function, Evasive Steering Assist, Active Blind Spot Assist, Active Lane Keeping Assist and PRE-SAFE® PLUS. Standard safety features include Active Brake Assist, Lane Keeping Assist, Attention Assist, Speed Limit Assist and the occupant protection system Pre-Safe and Pre-Safe Sound. The CLS also features an improved camera and radar system and for the first time, can make use of map and navigation data to calculate driving behaviour.
South Africa will see the release of the eagerly awaited Volkswagen Polo GTI in the middle of 2018. We gathered some intel from the small car line director, Ralf Kolling about the upcoming performance hatch. Here's what you need to know.
1. It's "better to drive than a Golf GTI"
Volkswagen is promising a sharper and more agile driving experience from the new 236 kph Polo GTI, compared with the more mature driving manners of the Golf GTI.
“The Polo GTi is shorter, lighter and better to drive,” said Volkswagen’s small car line director, Ralf Kölling. “The Golf has performance more oriented to the highway, the Polo GTI is more agile for a really good drive. The shorter wheelbase than the Golf gives the Polo that extra feeling of agility."
Kölling and his team have been working on the Polo GTI for 3-and-a-half years, helped by the green light from Volkswagen high-ups just six months after work began on the latest Polo. “We decided early in the project that we wanted a GTI version of the Polo and that has helped with having space under the bonnet for the bigger engine,” said Kölling.
2. The 2.0-litre turbo is all about consistent torque
Power for the new Polo GTI comes from a 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder unit with a peak output of 147 kW and 320 Nm. The previous Polo GTI made 141 kW/320 Nm from a 1.8-litre four-cylinder unit.
Peak torque is developed with a flat curve between 1 500 rpm and 6 000 rpm and is understood to deliver a solid surge of performance in the mid-range. Top speed is a claimed 236 kph and 0-100 kph in 6.7sec – very similar to the previous-generation Polo GTI
3. It will be DSG only, at first
A 6-speed DSG dual-clutch automatic gearbox will be standard at launch, with a six-speed manual becoming an option in 2018.
“It was a really hard decision between the DSG and manual, but the market is deciding and performance models are trending to DSG,” said Kölling.
4. The chassis and suspension are stiffer
The basis for the new Polo GTi is a much stiffer 5-door body based off VW’s ubiquitous MQB platform and with a torsional rigidity of 18k Nm/deg. The old Polo rated 14k Nm/deg, 28 percent less.
Other chassis refinements include a standard sport suspension with a 15 mm reduced ride height, stiffer solid front and rear anti-roll bars of 21 mm diameter and uprated springs and dampers.
The front spring rates are 31% stiffer and the rears 24% higher, while the dampers feature two selectable settings – Normal and Sport — under Volkswagen's Sport Select banner.
Bigger brake rotors — 312 mm diameter at the front and 270 mm at the rear — boost stopping power compared with the standard Polo.
5. It still has an XDS differential
Just like the previous model, the new Polo GTi also features electro-mechanical steering and an XDS differential lock, which uses the traction control system to limit wheelspin.
Jaguar has set a new record at the Nürburgring Nordschleife with the Jaguar XE SV Project 8 becoming the fastest four-door sedan in production-intent specification to lap the famous circuit.
The XE SV Project 8, developed by Jaguar’s Special Vehicle Operations (SVO), now holds the record as the fastest 4-door sedan with production intent to lap the famous Nürburgring Nordschleife in Germany. Only 300 examples of the XE SV Project 8 are slated for production and all units will be in left-hand drive only, which means it will not be sold in South Africa.
The 441 kW / 700 Nm XE SV Project 8 prototype is powered by a supercharged 5.0-litre V8 capable of zero to 100 kph in 3.7 seconds with a top speed of 322 kph. The XE SV Project 8 prototype lapped The Ring in a blistering time of 7:21.2, bettering the Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio’s previous record by almost 11 seconds!
Mark Stanton, SVO Director, said “The SVO design and engineering team’s mission was to create the most track-focused road-legal Jaguar in history – not only the fastest, but also the most agile. As a result, only the roof and front door skins of Project 8’s body are carried-over unaltered from XE and 75 per cent of its mechanical hardware is new. This astonishing Nürburgring Nordschleife record validates the success of such extensive changes.”
John Edwards, Jaguar Land Rover Special Operations Managing Director, said “SVO exists to push the boundaries of performance, luxury and all-terrain capability. The hand-assembled XE SV Project 8 takes that principle to the limit, extracting supercar-beating performance from Jaguar’s most compact four-door sedan. The Nürburgring Nordschleife record underlines our commitment to deliver the most extreme Jaguar ever to Project 8 clients, who will soon experience this sensational sedan for themselves.”
Land Rover is showing its range-topping Range Rover SVAutobiography at the LA Motor Show and it’s coming to South Africa in 2018.
The mighty Range Rover recently received a facelift with numerous exterior and interior changes being implemented. Jaguar is using the LA Motor Show to showcase a range of products including the ultra-luxurious Range Rover SVAutobiography. Here is some vital information for this range-topping Range Rover.
Key Features
Rear passengers travel in absolute comfort with reclining rear seats and various massage functions. Is this the ultimate luxury SUV?
The SVAutobiography will be offered in long-wheelbase form and features executive class rear seats for ultimate comfort. The seats can recline by 40 degrees and are 22-way adjustable with heated calf and foot rests as well as various massage functions including a hot stone massage to keep passengers relaxed. Another fancy feature is the ability for the passengers to close the rear doors electronically using buttons placed on the rear console.
Rear passenger convenience is further enhanced with electrically deployable rear tables and entertainment screens with 4G WiFi connectivity. There’s also a concealed refrigerator between the two rear seats that accommodate 600 ml bottles.
Loading of long items is made easier with a folding rear seat and customers can also choose to have an electrically deployable veneered loadspace floor to facilitate the loading process.
Up front the driver has access to a Touch Pro Duo infotainment system comprising two, high-definition 10-inch screens, as seen on the recently introduced Range Rover Velar. The system is easy and intuitive to use and information can be swiped from one screen to another. A classy touch is the Zenith clock on the rear centre console, inspired by the Elite 6150 watch.
Range Rover Engines
The SVAutobiography offers 415 kW and 700 Nm from its updated supercharged 5.0-litre V8 engine.
A number of powertrain options are on offer for the latest Range Rover, including a new plug-in hybrid model called the P400e, combining a 221 kW, 4-cylinder 2.0-litre petrol engine coupled with an 85 kW electric motor and a 13.1 kWh high-voltage lithium-ion battery to produce total outputs of 297 kW and 640 Nm of torque. The new P400e has a pure-electric range of 51 km.
There will also be 2 diesel engine options available including a 190 kW 3.0-litre turbocharged V6 and a more powerful 249 kW 4.4-litre supercharged V8 diesel engine. A next-generation supercharged 5.0-litre V8 petrol engine with 386 kW (previously 375 kW) will be offered as well as a supercharged 3.0-litre V6 engine with either 250 kW or 280 kW.
The Range Rover SVAutobiography Dynamic is the most powerful Range Rover on offer with its upgraded 5.0-litre supercharged V8 engine with 415 kW and 700 Nm of torque.
Local pricing and specification will be confirmed closer to it launch in 2018.
Mitsubishi has introduced a striking limited edition Triton Xtreme in South Africa! Take a look at what the Triton Xtreme has to offer.
Using feedback from its customers, Mitsubishi South Africa welcomes a new limited edition Triton Xtreme double-cab bakkie to market in South Africa. Only 50 examples of the Triton Xtreme are available in either 4×2 or 4×4 double-cab guise.
"This Xtreme Limited Edition is a local development, based on customer research from the launch of the new Triton earlier this year. With this new limited edition derivative, we offer traditional bakkie lovers a customised bakkie developed to their personal taste" says says Nic Campbell, General Manager of Mitsubishi Motors South Africa (MMSA).
Key features
Protective cladding on the Triton Xtreme will help prevent damage while on the 4×4 track while also providing a unique look.
The Triton Xtreme wears a striking body kit which includes a range of additional features and accessories worth R60 000. The factory-installed body kit, however, will only cost buyers R20 000 over and above the listed retail price of the Triton double-cab it is fitted to.
Notable features of the body kit include:
Bonnet guards
Grille and fog lamp covers
Front and rear light guards
Wheel arch covers
Front and rear door handle protection covers
Triton branded scuff plates
Heavy-duty rubber mats

What makes the Volvo S90 D5 R-Design a worthy contender in the Executive Sedan category of the 2017/18 Cars.co.za Consumer Awards – powered by WesBank? We investigate…
Volvo is on the comeback trail and after its big XC90 SUV brother trounced the German regulars, we figured that the S90 sedan may be able to pull off a similar coup in the sedan market. The S90 brings luxury, refinement, credible performance and semi-autonomous capability to the table and this D5 R-Design derivative is a particularly enticing offering in this segment. Can the S90 conquer all in the Executive Sedan category?
3 Reasons Why Volvo S90 D5 R-Design is a #CarsAwards Finalist
1. Strong performer
The long-held assumption that a 6- or 8-cylinder motor is required to propel a premium sedan along has been smashed by Volvo's 4-cylinder turbodiesel engine. It's a size more suited to cars half its size, but this plucky 2.0-litre powerplant pushes out tidy outputs of 173 kW and 480 Nm resulting in strong performance. Both turbochargers are supplemented by a smart system which fires compressed air into the turbo housing to minimise lag. Volvo claims its diesel-powered S90 will sip 4.8 L/100 km on the combined cycle.
2. Pleasing driving dynamics
The S90 is all-wheel driven, offering additional traction in wet/slippery conditions and Volvo has opted for a luxury driving experience as opposed to a sportier one. Brisk, yet comfortable cruising is this car's forte.
The steering arrangement is deserving of praise as it feels true and direct, but still with a focus on comfort. It has a fair degree of weight to it, which befits the S90's the big, luxury sedan persona to a tee. It's light enough to make low-speed tight parking manoeuvres less stressful, yet heavy enough to let you know you're at the tiller of something substantial.
3. Safe and packed with tech
It is palpably apparent that Volvo is determined to woo potential customers with a bedazzling array of safety features and modern technology. Apart from the impressive tablet-like touchscreen, this S90 features Pilot Assist, which, according to the firm, "is a semi-autonomous driving assistance system” which manages acceleration, braking and steering at speeds of up to 130 kph. The bestuse for this tech is in bumper-to-bumper traffic.
Other notable safety features includes Intellisafe with City Safety to detect pedestrians, cyclists and animals, run-off-road mitigation, auto braking in intersections for oncoming traffic, front collision warning with full auto brake as well as lane-keeping aid, lane departure warning and driver alert control, making this S90 one of the safest cars on the road.
