The Defender gets the attention.

The Range Rover gets the admiration.

The Discovery quietly gets on with it.

That is exactly what makes the new Land Rover Discovery D350 Gemini so compelling. It delivers much of what makes the flagship models great, but without constant affirmation.

The Volkswagen rolled on today with another spectacular route, this time from Sani Pass Resort in KwaZulu-Natal to Barkly East via Matatiele and Rhodes in the Eastern Cape.

After yesterday’s stint behind the wheel of the V6, it was time to sample the new 125 kW 2.0-litre single-turbo diesel Amarok Life 4Motion. While it may not have the outright muscle of its bigger sibling, it proved itself remarkably capable across a demanding route, while rewarding with noticeably lower fuel consumption.

The seemingly endless gravel roads also provided the perfect opportunity to experience the Amarok’s excellent Goodyear all-terrain tyres. Highlights included tackling Naudé’s Nek, South Africa’s highest gravel pass and a road steeped in local motorsport history as a former stage of the South African National Rally Championship.

Tomorrow, the convoy heads to Graaff-Reinet as this memorable adventure draws to a close.

Keep an eye on for the full video review coming soon.

Not everyone wants to plug in their car every night.

And that is exactly where the new OMODA C5 SHS Hybrid sees an opportunity.

With a claimed range of more than 1,000 km, hybrid efficiency and a long list of standard features, it delivers many of the benefits of electrification without asking drivers to change their habits.

Day 1 of Volkswagen and already we've crossed the SA/Lesotho border twice, on-route from Durban to Gqeberha, via Barkley East and Graaff-Reinet. 🇿🇦🇱🇸

Our steed for day 1 and 2 was this Reed Green Metallic 3.0-litre V6 TDI producing 184 kW and 600 Nm torque.

Is there any better way to see South Africa (and conquer the infamous ) than behind the wheel of one of it's most beloved bakkies?

Full video report coming to Driven soon!

Easter weekend and the N3 are not usually words you'd associate with relaxation.

Yet a week spent exploring the South Coast in the new Toyota Prado VX-L turned one of South Africa's busiest holiday routes into a remarkably easy journey.

The biggest surprise? Just how refined and fuel-efficient this large SUV has become.

Remember when family cars were designed around families first?

The returning Kia Carens feels like a throwback to that philosophy, albeit wrapped in modern SUV-inspired styling.

Seven seats, impressive practicality and a frugal diesel engine make it a surprisingly compelling alternative to the usual crossover crowd.

Ferrari has finally entered the electric era.

And judging by the internet's reaction, not everyone is ready for it.

The new Luce delivers 765 kW, a 530 km range and all the performance you'd expect from Maranello. Yet much of the conversation has focused on something else entirely: whether it still feels like a Ferrari.

The most satisfying thing about the new Geely E5 EM-i is not where it comes from, but how convincingly premium it feels.

The cabin quality, refinement and hybrid drivetrain all punch well above expectations. The only real frustration comes from a digital experience that occasionally tries too hard to be clever.

Every motoring dynasty has an origin story.

For Isuzu in South Africa, it began with a small Chevrolet bakkie that most people have long forgotten.

The Chevrolet LUV may have looked modest, but it laid the foundation for the KB and eventually the D-Max, creating one of the country's most enduring bakkie bloodlines.
