    Mercedes-Benz Unveil X-Class Concepts Previewing Their ‘Bakkie’

    I am sure all of you have seen images of the two pickup concepts from Mercedes-Benz previewing their X-Class but let’s breakdown the long press release. One was called the stylish Explorer offering a premium and sporty experience while the Powerful Adventurer is the rugged hardcore off-roader.

    The Explorer is probably the most accurate example of what the production double-cab X-Class will look like. It features a plush interior, sporty bumpers and a set of big, 22-inch alloy wheels. “With the X-Class, we will close one of the last gaps in our portfolio,” said Mercedes-Benz boss Dieter Zetsche. “Our target is to offer customers vehicles matching their specific needs. The pick-up will set new standards in a growing segment.”

    • Entry-level models will be offered with RWD as standard
    • AWD system offered as option
    • Engine range will include four-pot petrol and diesel units
    • A V6 diesel engine is expected to be the range topping unit
    • AWD V6-equipped X-Class can carry more than 1.1 ton
    • Towing capacity of up to 3.5 tons
    • AWD-quipped models will also come with low-range gearing, locking diffs and an advanced traction control to aid in the most extreme of off-road situations
    • Body-on-frame steel chassis shared with the Nissan Navara and Renault Alaskan

    Mercedes says that they will launch the new X-Class pickup truck in Europe in late 2017. Production for the European, Australian and South African markets will take place at the Nissan plant in Barcelona, Spain while the Latin American models will be built at the Renault plant in Cordoba, Argentina in 2018. That truck bed will need some good looking tonneau covers to match the stylish look of this pickup. Find the best tonneau cover brands in the market.

    • Looks like the new Mercedes-AMG S 63 E PERFORMANCE was spotted testing in South Africa 🇿🇦

That start-up sounds pretty damn promising!

This thing packs a whopping 791 hp (590 kW) and 1,430 Nm of torque.

    • We waited a fair bit for the Tiguan R to arrive but that means it has been given enough thought and executed with the sort of German precision that makes us happy to have waited.

As fast SUVs go it’s a cracker, and with a price tag starting from R1,014,900 it is actually decent value in the segment.

It’s fun, aggressive when you want it to be and remarkably civilised when you don’t. Cars like this rarely make sense, but the Tiguan R is one case where that argument starts to change one's mind.

We cannot wait to drive the matching Golf next week!

    • The very first SA-spec BMW M2 snapped at BMW HQ in Midrand.

Zandvoort Blue would not be our choice but the looks have certainly grown on us. What about all of you?

    • If you’re expecting a faster, angrier and more focused version of the original 86, you’re going to be happy with this car.

Toyota finally gave the 86 more power. It’s not take-your-breath-away power, but again, it’s not made to win drag races. If you want more power, get a Supra.

Sure it is a bit more pricey this time around but it is a no-regrets kind of car that you will enjoy just as much today as 10 years from now.

Long live the manual transmission, especially when it’s packaged within something as fun as the Toyota GR86.
