Some vehicles don’t just arrive – they announce themselves. The Jeep Wrangler is one such icon. Its presence instantly evokes a rich heritage woven into pop culture, military legacy and rugged outdoor freedom. When the 2025 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon was delivered to me – courtesy of Stellantis South Africa – I was immediately transported to the era of Baywatch, where the original 1987 Wrangler once played a starring role on California’s sandy shores.

There are some vehicles that don’t whisper their intent and spark conversation before you even turn the key. The BYD Shark 6 falls squarely in this camp. With its bold design and future-forward tech, this newcomer isn’t just dipping its toes into South Africa’s competitive bakkie waters. It’s diving in headfirst, with eyes set on shaking up a segment long dominated by the likes of the Ford Ranger, VW Amarok, Toyota Hilux – and even the elusive Mercedes-Benz X-Class.

And what a launch it was.

Few nameplates in the automotive world command respect quite like the BMW M5. For four decades, this legendary super sedan has not only defined high-performance luxury – it has consistently redefined it. And now, as the seventh generation makes its electrified debut, it doesn’t merely keep up with the times – it sets the pace. Thanks to BMW South Africa, I had the distinct privilege of experiencing this next chapter firsthand, and I can confidently say that this is no ordinary evolution.

Time with the Spirit of Ecstasy! It was an honour to spend time with the @RollsRoyceCars Middle East and Africa team last night at the official local launch of the Black Badge Spectre – the most powerful Rolls-Royce ever built – hosted by Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Johannesburg https://t.co/rFCreqPXwN
You’d be forgiven for thinking Tesla has finally arrived in Mzansi, but it’s actually their biggest rival (@BYDSouthAfrica) making serious waves! Last week, I had the privilege of living with the all-electric BYD Sealion 7, and what an electrifying experience it was! Powered by https://t.co/vv5yMcMBeS
After the privilege of testing it for a few days, I’ve just – albeit reluctantly – returned the keys to the new Lexus LX 700h Overtrail. With this flagship SUV, @Lexus_SA is clearly positioning itself to challenge the established dominance of a certain Coventry-based luxury https://t.co/sSaNoPcgPu
