Spitzkoppe feels like stepping onto another planet. The burnt orange granite formations glow as the afternoon light slowly turns golden, painting every curve and texture with something that almost doesn’t feel real.

Camping out there is a different kind of freedom. No noise, no rush, just nature in its purest form and the feeling of being completely present in it all.

And then night falls… The sky explodes with billions of stars, lighting up the darkness in a way you have to see to believe. Few places make you feel smaller, freer, and more connected to the world around you than this corner of Namibia 🇳🇦

Namibia after dark is something that doesn’t even feel real. The silence, the endless horizons, and a sky so full of stars it looks painted on. ✨

For a few nights we checked into our 5 billion star hotel parked out in the middle of nowhere with nothing but the crackle of a fire, the desert air, and the Milky Way above us.

Seeing Namibia from the ground is incredible… but seeing it at night is pure magic. 🇳🇦

The Jaecoo J5 is a compact SUV that looks clean and confident, feels thoughtfully put together, and then quietly proves it’s more than just another stylish crossover trying to find its place.

• Performance

Power comes from a 1.5L turbo petrol engine paired to a smooth CVT gearbox, delivering performance that feels well judged rather than overhyped.

Fuel consumption stays sensible when light-footed, and selectable drive modes subtly adjust the car’s character without making it feel artificial.

• Handling & Capability

On the move, the J5 is easy to live with. Suspension is tuned nicely for comfort, soaking up rough roads without feeling floaty. Steering is light and predictable, which makes parking and tight city manoeuvres effortless. Push harder and it stays composed, with safe, mild understeer reminding you this is built for balance and everyday confidence rather than aggressive driving.

• Comfort & Features

Inside, the cabin is a pleasant surprise. Materials feel solid and modern, with soft-touch finishes where it matters and a design that feels fresh without being flashy. Seating comfort is good front and rear, space is generous for its class, and the boot offers enough practicality for daily life and weekend escapes. A panoramic sunroof adds a nice sense of openness.

• Technology

Tech is a strong suit. A wide digital display setup handles infotainment and driver info clearly, supported by voice control, a decent sound system, and a comprehensive suite of driver aids and safety tech that do it’s thing in the background.

• Final verdict

The Jaeco J5 is a calm, confident all-rounder. It does comfort, tech and value exceptionally well, making it a strong option for buyers who want modern design and everyday usability without paying premium-brand prices.

The Omoda C9 PHEV feels like the quiet overachiever in the room. It rolls in looking sharp and futuristic, then gently reminds you it’s packing serious tech and performance without needing to expressive about it.

• Performance

Power comes from a 1.5L turbo-petrol engine paired with 4 electric motors, working together through a smooth automatic transmission. It delivers 440 kW/915 Nm power, 0-100 in 4.9s and a 150 km EV range, which will give you over 1100km off a tank! Around town, the electric assistance makes it feel instant and refined, with seamless power delivery that suits daily driving perfectly. Push a little harder and there’s enough punch to keep things fun, while fuel consumption stays incredibly low if you play the hybrid game properly. Multiple drive modes let you lean into efficiency or sharpen things up when the mood strikes.

• Handling & Capability

On the road, the C9 is calm and confident. Suspension tuning prioritises comfort but still keeps body roll dialled in, making it easy to live with on both highways and broken urban roads. Steering is light and anticipated, which helps manoeuvrability in tight spaces, and while it’s not pretending to be a performance SUV, grip levels are solid and safe.

• Comfort & Features

Inside is where the C9 really screams premium. The cabin feels modern and high-end, with soft-touch materials, clean design lines and a sense of space that punches above its class. Seats are supportive, rear legroom is generous, and the boot remains practical despite the hybrid setup. A large panoramic sunroof adds to the airy feel.

• Technology

Tech is front and centre, with a wide digital display setup, crisp graphics, voice control, and a full suite of driver-assist and safety systems that work phenomenally in the background. The sound system is well balanced and a pleasure for everyday use.

• Final verdict

The Omoda C9 PHEV nails comfort, tech and efficiency in a stylish package. If value, a premium look and feel, low running costs and modern design matter to you, this is a seriously compelling option.

The Ford Everest Sport feels like that friend who’s always keen for a weekend mission but still rocks up to work on Monday looking sharp. It has presence, confidence and just enough attitude without trying too hard.

• Performance

Under the bonnet sits Ford’s trusted 2.0-litre Bi-Turbo diesel mated with a 10-speed automatic. It’s not built to win drag races, but the power delivery is clean and steady, giving you effortless overtakes and relaxed cruising. Fuel consumption stays reasonable if you don’t get too heavy-footed, and with selectable drive modes, the Sport adapts easily from city errands to gravel adventures.

• Handling & Capability

On the road it’s surprisingly refined. The suspension smooths out bumps without feeling floaty, and the steering has just the right weight for manoeuvring something this size. It stays composed through corners no dramatic understeer moments while the generous ground clearance keeps confidence high when the tar disappears.

• Comfort & Features

Inside, the Sport hits that sweet spot between rugged and premium. Soft-touch materials, comfy seating, solid space for families and a boot that swallows just about anything you throw at it. It skips the panoramic sunroof of higher trims, but the cabin still feels airy.

• Technology

Tech is where Ford continues to shine: a large central touchscreen, clever driver aids, solid safety systems and simple voice control. Even the sound system feels punchy enough for road-trip playlists.

• Final verdict

The Everest Sport nails versatility. It’s stylish enough for town, capable enough for adventure and comfortable enough for long hauls. If you want Everest attitude without Everest pricing, this is where the value sits.

Price in SA: From around R1,109,000 including a 4-year/120 000km warranty and 6-year/90 000km service plan.

Built to Impress — On and Off the Map

The Ford Everest Platinum V6 is confident, smooth, and unapologetically capable. Whether it’s the daily grind or the weekend getaway, this Everest feels ready for both.

• Performance

A 3.0L V6 turbo-diesel is paired to a 10-speed automatic, putting down 184 kW and 600 Nm of torque. The power delivery is silky yet strong, effortlessly moving its weight without breaking a sweat. Ford’s drive modes (Normal, Eco, Tow/Haul, Slippery, Mud/Ruts, Sand) adapt beautifully to terrain changes, while the gearbox keeps things calm and composed. Expected fuel consumption around 12–14 L/100 km.

• Handling & Capability

The Everest handles with surprising poise. Suspension tuned for comfort yet capable off-road, makes gravel roads feel like tarmac. Even with its 226 mm of clearance and slight lean in corners, it never feels clumsy. Steering is light for city use and tight enough for trail work.

• Comfort & Features

Step inside and it’s all class. Plush leather, ambient lighting, and just the right mix of rugged and refined. Space is generous, three rows that can actually fit adults and the panoramic sunroof brings the outdoors in. The boot swallows gear for days, especially with the rear seats folded flat.

• Final Verdict

The Ford Everest Platinum V6 isn’t perfect it’s big, thirsty, and not cheap but it’s also one of the most complete SUVs in its class. It blends toughness with polish in a way few others can’t. If adventure with luxury is your vibe, this one’s worth the bucks.

Price: from R1 186 500 (includes 4-year/120 000 km warranty and 6-year/90 000 km service plan)

Built to Roam, Not Just Commute

Whenever I get behind the wheel of the Ford Ranger Tremor, I feel completely at home not just behind the office desk, but out in the wild. If the standard Ranger is your weekday workhorse, the Tremor is its weekend warrior: the Ranger after a protein shake, tougher, bolder, ready for mud and mountains.

• Performance

Under the bonnet sits the familiar 2.0 L Bi-Turbo diesel delivering 154 kW and 500 Nm. The engine’s unchanged, but everything around it is engineered to break free from pavement. That means serious off-road capability not more speed, but more grit.

• Handling & Capability

The Tremor rides higher and wider. With off-road-tuned Bilstein dampers, a wider track, and serious 4×4 tech (including Full-Time 4WD, eMTC transfer case, and selectable terrain modes like Rock Crawl, Mud/Ruts, Sand), it takes the beaten track in stride.

• Interior

Inside, you get the same sturdy practicality as a regular Ranger but enhanced with water-resistant upholstery and Tremor‐specific accents. It may skip the luxury bells and whistles, but it doesn’t compromise on comfort, usability or tech: SYNC 4 infotainment, big screen, Apple CarPlay/Android Auto daily driving is effortless, weekend exploring is exhilarating.

• Ride Quality

On dirt, the Tremor earns its badge: planted, composed, confident. On tar, yes, you’ll feel more firmness than a standard Ranger but that’s a small trade-off for serious off-road readiness.

• Final Verdict

This isn’t just a lifted Ranger. It’s a purpose-built adventure machine straight from the showroom. For lifestyle drivers who need everyday practicality and genuine off-road muscle, the Ranger Tremor hits the sweet spot: workweek reliable, weekend unstoppable.

Price in South Africa: approx. R978 600 with a 4 year / 120 000 km warranty as well as a corrosion warranty of 5 years / unlimited km
