340 kW. 709 Nm. 0–100 km/h in 4.8 seconds. The surprising part? The Volvo XC60 T8 still feels like one of the calmest family SUVs on sale. 🔗 drivenmag.co.za/quiet-power-… #Driven #VolvoXC60 @volvocars

The Discovery may be the most underrated vehicle in Land Rover's line-up. Seven seats. 257 kW. 700 Nm. Genuine off-road ability. And somehow it still flies under the radar. 🔗 drivenmag.co.za/sensible-yet… #Driven #DiscoveryGemini @LandRover

The clever thing about the new OMODA C5 SHS Hybrid is its simplicity. No charging. No range anxiety. Just more than 1,000 km of claimed range and a hybrid system that quietly gets on with the job. 🔗 drivenmag.co.za/omoda-c5-1-5… #Driven #OMODA #Hybrid @Omoda_SA

A week on the South Coast highlighted what the new Toyota Prado does best. Not rock crawling. Not showing off. Simply covering huge distances in effortless comfort. 🔗 drivenmag.co.za/escape-to-th… #Driven #ToyotaPrado @ToyotaSA

While most manufacturers are chasing bigger screens and sportier styling, the new Kia Carens focuses on something refreshingly simple. Making family life easier. 🔗 drivenmag.co.za/kia-carens/ #Driven #KiaCarens @KiaSouthAfrica

Ferrari's first EV may already have answered the performance question. The bigger question is whether enthusiasts will accept the design. The Luce has sparked one of the most polarising reactions to a new Ferrari in years. 🔗 drivenmag.co.za/future-perfe… #Driven #FerrariEV

The Geely E5 EM-i is a reminder of how quickly Chinese brands are closing the gap. Premium cabin. Excellent refinement. Impressive efficiency. Ironically, the biggest frustrations come from the technology, not the engineering. 🔗 Full story in the comments #Driven #GeelyE5 @GeelyAutoGlobal

Before the KB. Before the D-Max. There was the Chevrolet LUV. A small workhorse from the 1970s that quietly laid the foundations for one of South Africa's most respected bakkie lineages. 🔗 drivenmag.co.za/the-chevy-th… #Driven #Isuzu #BakkieHistory @isuzusa

For truck operators, trust is built long after the sale happens. That is why Mpho Matseba’s appointment as Head of FUSO Trucks Southern Africa matters. Stability and continuity still carry serious weight in the commercial world. 🔗 drivenmag.co.za/daimler-truc… #Driven #FUSO @DaimlerTruck

For years, diesel has been the default answer in the bakkie segment. The updated Ford Ranger asks an interesting question: what if a turbo petrol deserves a seat at the table too? 🔗 drivenmag.co.za/ford-ranger-… #Driven #FordRanger @FordSouthAfrica

I did not expect to say this about the Toyota GR Yaris. But the automatic gearbox genuinely works. The car still feels raw, playful and properly alive, only now it is far easier to live with daily. 🔗 drivenmag.co.za/all-grown-up… #Driven #ToyotaGRYaris @ToyotaSA

The most important number attached to the new Isuzu D-MAX is not its power output. It is 400,000 km. That is how far Isuzu tested it across Africa before handing over the keys to customers. 🔗 drivenmag.co.za/tough-where-… #Driven #IsuzuDMax @isuzusa

The future luxury car may have less mechanical drama and more intelligent calm. Software-defined vehicles, steer-by-wire systems and lounge-like interiors are changing the industry faster than many expected. 🔗 drivenmag.co.za/future-perfe… #Driven #FutureCars

The interesting thing about the Changan Uni-S is not one headline feature. It is how much it delivers for the money. Space, refinement, strong tech and surprisingly mature road manners. 🔗 drivenmag.co.za/changan-uni-… #Driven #ChanganUniS @ChanganMEA

The new Mitsubishi Destinator understands something many SUVs have forgotten: Families care more about usability than drama. Seven seats, sensible size and properly thought-out practicality. 🔗 drivenmag.co.za/mitsubishi-d… #Driven #MitsubishiDestinator @mitsu_motors

The new Bentley Continental GT Azure feels like a reminder that luxury does not need to become sterile in the hybrid era. Silent when you want it. Brutally fast when you do not. 🔗 drivenmag.co.za/azure-state-… #Driven #BentleyGT @BentleySA

The interesting thing about @nissanza at #NAMPO Harvest Day 2026 was not just the heritage on display. It was the sense that the brand is trying to carefully reconnect its past with its future in SA. 🔗 Full story in the comments #Driven #NissanSA

HERITAGE, HOPE AND THE ROAD TO BOTHAVILLE - Driven

There is something uniquely South African about setting off before sunrise with a convoy of bakkies pointed towards the Free State. The roads are quieter, the coffee stronger, and conversation tends...

It's a bittersweet day at the @DrivenMotoring office... Yesterday, we broke the EV charging record at the launch of the Zero Carbon Charge N3 Roadside facility at the Leeukop Padstal, charging the @volvocars ES90 at a fantastic 251.26 kW! A day later, the record was broken again, when another ES90 was charged at the Charge N3 Tugela station at the Three Towers Farm Stall, at over 321 kW! Congratulations to Volvo for this amazing achievement! #ZeroCarbonCharge #N3 #EV #EVRevolution #Charge #Volvo #ES90 #Driven
