    Mercedes A-Class Steady at the Top of the Bestsellers Chart

    With its customary combination of phenomenal German engineering and stylish good looks, it’s no surprise that the Mercedes-Benz A-Class continues to top the bestsellers as far as car sales in the UK are concerned.

    As of October 2020, the premium German vehicle had climbed two places in the standings to top the rest, with more than 4,000 new registrations within the month.

    The Mercedes A-Class has always been temptingly priced, and that goes double when it’s a couple of years old. Here’s everything you need to know about buying this classy family hatchback used:https://t.co/tyGLZ3FtHz pic.twitter.com/5Pn6vAvvb7

    — What Car? (@whatcar) November 24, 2020

    The A-Class usurped the Vauxhall Corsa as the most sold car in the UK, with the Ford Fiesta in third and the Volkswagen Golf in fourth. The Ford Puma rounded out the top five. Further down the top 10, two of the A-Class’ most notable rivals – such as the BMW 1 Series and the Audi A3 – had much slower months on the forecourt.

    When we look at the best sellers in 2020 as a whole, the Fiesta, Corsa and Golf lead the way – the demand for hatchbacks remains undimmed, and the A-Class leads the way at the premium price point with 31,604 registrations this year so far, just 2,000 behind the Ford Focus.

    We’ve written many times about the brilliance of the Mercedes range from top to bottom, and while we await the possibility of a brand new electric R-Class within the next few years, the A-Class remains an unstoppable choice for the everyday driver seeking reliability and high-end specifications.

    The rise of the A-Class in the rankings is likely down to a range of new and affordable financing packages that are available, but also don’t forget that Lewis Hamilton claimed his seventh F1 world title just a matter of weeks ago. His Mercedes has once again been the standout car in Formula One in 2020, and it’s no wonder they were the favourites in the Constructors’ Championship motorsport betting odds – just one of the markets you can wager on with bookmakers accepting F1 bets.

    Coincidence? That seems too far-fetched to be mere happenstance.

    C-Class Gets Ready for Launch

    New images have been revealed of the new Mercedes C-Class, and with less camouflage in the photos covering up the W206’S new design, fans of German engineering have been given their most tantalising glimpse yet of the model set for release in 2022.

    The initial feeling is that Mercedes want to produce a scaled-down version of the S-Class, and the early test runs of the C-Class suggest exactly that with sleek lines and what appears to be a slimmed-down body.

    Despite the firm’s best efforts to shield production details using the camo disguise, it appears as if horizontal teardrop taillights – cribbed from other models in the Mercedes family – have been ported to the C-Class.

    Internal detailing will follow its ‘big brother’ too, with the canon of digital instruments displayed on the top of the central dash and the touchscreen entertainment centre just below. And while not confirmed, it is believed that the HVAC can be modified using a touch-sensitive panel located below this main console.

    While no official release date has been confirmed, it is expected that the C-Class will drop in the first half of 2022. And you can expect sales to be as solid as those of the A-Class!

    • The BMW i4 M50 is quite possibly the best EV we have had the pleasure of testing.

It's superbly comfortable but at the simple touch of a button, it switches from tourer to tornado and you find yourself instantly doing speeds you should not be doing.

While not all EVs will have the same refinement or scintillating performance, this was both relaxing and thrilling to drive.

The Gran Coupé is a handsome car with a sense of sleek length and disguises its hatchback as a booted saloon rear end and that M Portimao Blue metallic paint certainly garnered a lot of positive attention.

Compared with the BMW iX it’s less of a show-stopper, but comes with a much more attractive price tag – and while the i4 is still quite the financial investment (R1,6m) we feel it gives you excellent value in return.

Yes, we did have a few charging issues (Eskom) and if you don't have a Wallbox charger at home filling up with petrol is MUCH easier. However, that being said if you’re looking for an outstanding driving experience both on the twisties and on the highway, this is definitely worth considering if you have decided to make the jump to the electric car.

    • The totally bonkers Ferrari 812 Competizione was spotted in Bryanston today by Brad Ainge.

Priced around R14m depending on spec.

    • Our time has come to an end with the most potent version of Mzansi’s favourite bakkie, the new Toyota Hilux GR-Sport.

The 2.8-litre turbo diesel powerplant has been tweaked to push out 165kW and 550 Nm thanks to an updated ECU which also responsible for the much needed revised mapping of the six-speed auto.

The sporty Hilux gets new monotube shocks as well as stiffer coil springs which make the bakkie a lot more settled at higher speed and provide great feedback on some of the twisty bits. If you don’t have a full load at the back however, you might find it a tad too stiff and rather twitchy for day to day driving. 

Inside you get a load of sporty touches including “carbon fibre” trim pieces but the highlight has to be the race inspired front seats complete with Alcantara inserts and some GR badging on the headrests. 

For the Hilux customers, this is a welcome addition to the range as the exterior and interior aesthetics align very neatly with the GR brand.

Yours from R891,400. Are you picking this or the Legend RS?
