    The new-generation Mercedes-Benz A-Class has finally been unveiled, boasting more sophisticated looks compared to its predecessor, more efficient engines and plenty of modern safety and convenience tech.

    This A-Class represents the next step in their Sensual Purity design philosophy and looks a lot more elegant ans mature than before.

    • Low bonnet, flat LED headlights with chrome elements and the torch-like DRL’s
    • Larger wheel arches
    • Slim, two-section taillights
    • Free-standing widescreen display
    • Interior lighting with option of 64 colours
    • Three touchscreen display combos: either two 7-inch displays (17.78 cm), one 7-inch and one 10.25-inch (26 cm) display or two massive 10.25-inch displays.
    • First ever Mercedes-Benz model to feature this MBUX (Mercedes-Benz User Experience)
    • Head-up display, Car-to-X communication, vehicle tracker and Mercedes Me app
    • More shoulder, elbow and headroom (longer wheelbase and wider track)
    • Not only heated seats but also seat climate control and a Multicontour Seat package with massage function (front seats)
    • Initially there are three variants available; two petrol models (A 200 and A 250) and a diesel (A 180 d).
    • A 200 – 1.4-litre four-cylinder unit – 160 HP (120 kW) and 250 Nm – combined with either a 7G-DCT dual clutch automatic or a six-speed manual.
    • A 250 – 2.0-litre four-banger, with 221 HP (165 kW) and 350 Nm of torque.
    • A 180 d – 1.5-litre four-cyclinder pushes out 114 HP (85 kW) and 260 Nm peak torque.
    • The A 250 and A 180d will initially only come with the 7G-DCT gearbox.

    As for performance, the A 200 can sprint to 100 km/h in 8 seconds flat (7G-DCT) or 8.2 seconds with the manual. Top speed is 225 km/h and the average fuel consumption stands at 5.1 l/100 km for the automatic and 5.6 l/100 km for the manual. The more powerful A 250 needs just 6.2 seconds to hit 100 km/h, maxing out at 250 km/h and averaging (when possible) 6.0 l/100 km. As expected, the diesel will be the most fuel efficient, in need of just 4.1 l/100 km. It will also do 0-100 in 10.5 seconds and max out at 202 km/h.

    Mercedes-Benz says “further new engines will follow”, adding that the new A-Class will be available with the permanent all-wheel drive system with fully variable torque distribution on request.

    • 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.
