Kia Sportage Review

Corne Venter, CEO of the retail and rental division of Motus South Africa, discusses the launch of digital brand Motus.cars, the new emotive brand campaign, as well as the importance of having a real dealer network behind all of their cars….

The R1m-plus club of muscular, off-road capable, snazzy SUV's has just acquired a new member - the luxuriously furnished, plush and powerful eight-seat Infiniti QX80 which is the latest addition to the brand's growing local range....

With 15 different models to choose from it is fair to presume there are already more than enough VW Golf variants on the local market to satisfy everybody's needs - but just to make doubly sure the German carmaker has added a new "stretched" version which offers more space and practicality than any other Golf.

Nissan is one of the “other” brands running flat-out to catch up to the world-dominating German smart sedan three-some – and with its new seven-model Q50 Infiniti range, it has certainly narrowed the gap.

The new C1 Citroen is the prettiest of the three virtually identical motoring triplets who share the same engine, mechanical set-up, body parts and chassis but have individual exterior looks and living quarters....

Nissan has employed a nifty designer to trim some excess fat as well the many sharp edges off its likeable X-Trail to give it a much softer, more elegant urban warrior look but without sacrificing any of its bush and dirt capabilities.

Hyundai's popular i20 hatchback is now dressed in stylish European fashion to give it an even stronger presence in the toughly fought B segment where it has already established a strong foothold....

When Mercedes-Benz launched the CLS 10 years ago it was dubbed Claudia Schiffer because at the time it was one of the sexiest non-supercars car on the planet. Now in its 10th year the latest CLS is even more striking and has such magnetic appeal that it could rightfully claim to be the Scarlett Johansson or Helen Flanagan equivalent of the sexy wheels set.

The Honda Accord 3.5 V6 looks smart, slick and sophisticated but it also rings some nostalgic bells that hark back to the days when family sedans were big, spacious and as the comfortable as well-worn old leather chairs you would find in Gentlemen’s Clubs.

If you think that Mercedes-Benz will never stoop to down-sizing its potent AMG cars you are in for a huge surprise because they have done just that and in the process created a two-litre engine that is the hottest four-pot engine in general production.

It's as graceful and as fast as any member of the cat family, gentle and adorable when in purring mood and quick to show its claws when provoked -- all of which makes the new XF Jaguar the classy cat it is.

To plug an important price and size gap between its i20 and i30 models Hyundai has launched another attack on the highly competitive B-segment with the introduction of a neat and practical five-door Accent hatchback.
