The Leapmotor C10 REEV has some frustrations, but it has great practicality and some cool features that outweigh those frustrations
South Africans are increasingly open to hybrids as petrol prices and affordability pressures weigh on households
iCAUR will launch with two models, the V23 and the 03T, which will both be electric and affordable, with an added element South Africans might love
While the model is fully electric, it feels like an Alfa Romeo but there’s a big difference between the entry model and the top-of-the-range model
As cars become more digital, colour becomes a branding tool — almost like choosing a smartphone finish
It’s probably been one of the most hyped cars of the year and it’s very difficult to argue against it because it does everything right

Perhaps it is the pricing that contributes to the lack of popularity, but the Q7 remains a beast while still offering the value of a family car
The Chinese brands love a 1.5 litre turbocharged engine, but MG has finally got it right with the ZS Pro
Despite the ruggedness and effortless driving, it neither falls into the supercar or the off-road category, which is why I would rather just go for the regular EX30

But, it still works out more expensive than jumping into an entry Tiggo 7 Pro
