The facelifted E-Class arguably lives in the shadow of Mercedes-Benz's recently unveiled all-new S-Class and C-Class models, but that does not mean the local arrival of updated versions of the executive range (sedan, coupe and cabriolet) isn't newsworthy, writes our contributor – #CarsAwards judge Ernest Page. When I first drove the current generation E-Class (W213) in 2016, the

Bakkie

Yes, there is an all-new Isuzu D-Max bakkie in the pipeline, but that will only become available in South Africa in 2021. In the meantime, Isuzu SA has updated the current range by introducing automatic-transmission versions of its 250 turbodiesel derivatives. Ernest Page reports… When General Motors' departure from South Africa was announced back in 2017, consumers were concerned about Isuzu's future

Lowering Speed Limits ‘not a Magic Bullet’

Road Safety

It’s said that the UK government introduced its first speed limit because a man named Jack Sears drove an AC Cobra coupe at 185 mph on the M1 highway. Back in 1964, that was perfectly legal. By December 22, 1965, however, the speed limit on the M1 was legally declared 70 mph. Speed limits are necessary,

Range Rover Velar SVAutobiography (2019) Launch Review

The SVAutobiography simultaneously adds further luxury, as well as 405 kW of supercharged V8 muscle, to the award-winning Range Rover Velar. We headed upcountry to race it against a train… obviously! It's been said that on the day the 2nd-ever automobile was built, motor racing was born. And since then, car enthusiasts have looked for any reason to race anything on wheels.

Toyota Hilux GR Sport (2019) Launch Review

The torrent of special-edition bakkie introductions shows no signs of abating. Only 535 units of the Toyota Hilux GR Sport will be sold in South Africa; we drove the newcomer in Botswana and Zimbabwe to see what it has to offer. Last year, Toyota made quite a marketing splash by demo-ing its “not for sale in ZA” Yaris GRMN. But there’s
