Ever wondered what happens when a new EV brand gets it right on the first try? The Deepal S07 might just surprise you.

• Performance

Power comes from a single rear mounted electric motor producing 160kW and 320Nm, fed by a 79.97kWh battery. Performance is smooth rather than aggressive, with instant torque making city driving effortless and highway overtakes easy. Eco, Comfort and Sport modes let you tailor the experience, while efficiency is equally impressive with a claimed consumption of around 18kWh/100km.

• Handling & Capability

On the road, the S07 feels composed and confidence inspiring. The suspension leans towards comfort without becoming floaty, soaking up rough roads well while still feeling planted through the corners. Steering is light, making it easy to manoeuvre, and despite being rear wheel drive, grip remains predictable with no nasty surprises.

• Comfort & Features

Inside is where the S07 really shows off. Soft touch materials, supportive seats and generous passenger space make every trip enjoyable, while the 445L boot is practical enough for everyday life. The panoramic glass roof adds to the airy feel, and the rotating 15.6” display is one of the coolest features that swivels to the driver or passenger to suit your liking, backed by responsive voice control, a quality sound system and a long list of driver assistance and safety tech.

• Final Verdict

The Deepal S07 genuinely exceeded expectations. It looks premium, feels well built and delivers a refined driving experience that makes it one of the most impressive newcomers to the South African EV market. From the moment you step inside, it’s clear this isn’t another budget focused electric SUV. The design feels genuinely premium, the build quality is impressive, and everything has a polished, well thought out feel that punches above its price point.

Price in SA: R995,900, including a 7-year/100,000km service plan and 8-year/200,000km battery warranty.

Can your car do this? 👀

Deepal is pulling out all the tricks with the S07. This is the built in Lightshow scene amongst eight different scenes to match your mood, including Nap Mode, Privacy Mode, Camping Mode, and several more.

Is it a feature you absolutely need? Probably not. But it’s exactly the kind of fun, unexpected detail that makes the S07 stand out. It’s quirky, entertaining, and adds another layer to the futuristic personality of the car. Sometimes it’s the little things that make you stop and say, “Wow.”

I’ve traded the Mother City for the bushveld as I join Volkswagen South Africa in Polokwane, Limpopo, for the media launch of the all new Caravelle eHybrid 4Motion.

Over the next couple of days, we are putting Volkswagen’s latest people mover through its paces to see how plug-in hybrid power transforms one of the brand’s most iconic nameplates.

Stay tuned, this should be an interesting one 🚐⚡

Thank you for your endless support, constant encouragement, and for believing in me, even on the days when I struggle to believe in myself.

Thank you for every laugh we’ve shared, every memory we’ve made, and all the little moments in between that have become some of my favourite parts of life. Life is simply better because I get to share it with you.

I love you with all my heart. Here’s to all the incredible adventures, unforgettable memories, and beautiful chapters still waiting for us.

What happens when a rugged adventure SUV gets a serious dose of electric power? You get the Jetour T2 PHEV, arguably the motor industry’s biggest disruptor since the Suzuki Jimny.

• Performance

Under the bonnet is a 1.5L turbo petrol engine paired with an electric motor, producing 265kW and 610Nm through an automatic transmission. It isn’t the rocket its numbers suggest, but the instant electric torque makes the T2 feel incredibly smooth and effortless around town. The claimed 2.3L/100km is optimistic, but real world consumption around 9.0L/100km is genuinely impressive for something this big.

• Handling & Capability

The catch? Unlike the petrol T2, the PHEV is front-wheel drive with 190mm of ground clearance. So while it still looks ready to conquer the apocalypse, it’s not quite as hardcore offroad. Handling is surprisingly composed, although the steering feels a little vague and the regenerative braking can be abrupt when you lift off.

• Comfort & Features

Inside, the T2 is seriously impressive. The cabin feels modern, spacious and well equipped, with comfortable ventilated seats. The 580L boot expands to 1494L with the seats folded, making it genuinely practical for everyday life and weekend adventures.

• Technology

A large central touchscreen takes centre stage, while a crisp digital driver display keeps key information directly in front of you. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, voice control, wireless charging, a 12 speaker Sony sound system and a comprehensive suite of driver assistance features make this a tech heavy cabin that feels more premium than the price tag suggests.

• Final Verdict

The Jetour T2 PHEV isn’t perfect. The front wheel drive layout limits its off road credibility, and some hybrid system transitions could be smoother. But as a comfortable, tech loaded and strikingly different SUV that delivers serious performance and impressive efficiency, it’s incredibly compelling.

That’s the T2’s biggest strength: it doesn’t just compete with the established players, it makes them look over their shoulders.

Price in SA: R779 900 including a 7 year/75 000 km service plan

What if the SUV that makes the most sense isn’t wearing a badge you expected?

The Changan UNI-S is here to shake up the family SUV segment, and it makes a convincing argument.

• Performance

Under the bonnet is a 1.5L turbocharged four-cylinder producing 138 kW and 300Nm, sent to the front wheels through a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox. There’s Eco, Normal and Sport mode and when the power arrives, it is properly punchy. Throttle response can feel a little disconnected at low speeds, while the DCT sometimes hesitates in traffic before delivering a sudden surge. Claimed fuel consumption is 7.0 L/100 km, although real world driving will likely see closer to 8–9 L/100 km.

• Handling & Capability

The UNI-S isn’t a sports SUV, but it handles confidently and the multi link rear suspension gives it a composed comfortable ride. The steering is light, making it easy to manoeuvre around town, and the suspension soaks up South Africa’s less than perfect roads.

• Comfort & Features

Inside is where this car really impresses. The cabin feels modern and premium for the money, with quality materials, comfortable seats and loads of space in the back. The 475L boot is practical for family use, with a panoramic sunroof, electric tailgate and 19-inch wheels.

• Technology

Tech is everywhere, a 12.8-inch infotainment screen, digital driver display, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a 540-degree camera and driver aids including adaptive cruise control, blind spot monitoring, lane assistance and automatic emergency braking. The touchscreen controls take some getting used to.

• Final Verdict

So, is the UNI-S worth considering? Absolutely. It’s stylish, comfortable, spacious and loaded with technology. The powertrain calibration isn’t perfect, but at this price, the amount of car you get is seriously impressive.

Price in SA: R389,900, including a 5-year/150,000 km warranty and 5-year/90,000 km service plan.

What if your next electric car didn’t need to be fully electric?

Meet the Leapmotor C10 REEV an SUV that gives you the smoothness of an EV, without the usual range anxiety.

• Performance

The clever bit is that the wheels are driven entirely by a 158 kW electric motor, while the 1.5L petrol engine acts as a generator when the battery needs support. That means instant, smooth power, 320 Nm of torque and a claimed 0–100km/h time of 8.5 seconds. It’s not a sports car, but it feels properly quick when you need it to be. With multiple drive modes, you can prioritise electric driving, performance or maximum range, while claimed fuel consumption sits at around 5.5 L/100km.

• Handling & Capability

Despite weighing over two tonnes, the C10 feels composed and surprisingly easy to manoeuvre. The ride is super comfortable, the cabin is incredibly quiet and there’s enough grip to make it feel secure without pretending to be something it isn’t.

• Comfort & Features

Inside, this is where the C10 truly punches above its weight. The materials feel premium, the seats exude comfort and there’s heaps of space for passengers. The 435L boot is practical, while the panoramic roof, heated and ventilated seats, ambient lighting and insane 12 speaker sound system make the cabin feel genuinely luxurious.

• Technology

Technology is everywhere, with a huge 14.6” central screen, a digital driver display, 360 degree cameras and plenty of driver assistance systems. But there is one feature that genuinely frustrates me: the NFC card key. Having to tap a card against the driver’s mirror to lock and unlock the car, then place it on the centre console to start, feels unnecessarily complicated. It’s clever, but not convenient.

• Final Verdict

Overall, the C10 REEV is a seriously impressive SUV. It’s refined, comfortable, premium and offers the best of both worlds for someone who wants to drive electric without planning their life around charging stations.

Price in SA: R774,900 including a 5-year/100,000 km service plan and warranty
