LET’S TALK CARS

We spoke to CMH Motor City Ballito about the various options and brands they offer for those looking for different types of cars.

Choosing a car for yourself is far from easy. With so many options out there, the decision of which car to get must come down to your lifestyle. Ask yourself: What is your current lifestyle and what lifestyle do you want? Are you a family man? An adventurous man? A luxurious man? Are you someone looking for their first car? A great way to find out is to shop around, and one place you can find amazing variety is CMH Motor City Ballito. So, c’mon! Let’s talk cars!

First, let’s look at entry-level vehicles. This should be your “getting from A to B” car. You might be looking for something within a tight budget and with a good warranty as a first-time buyer. A great option would be the Renault Kwid Life. It’s a comfy size for a first car, and the best part is that it comes with one-year free insurance, no deposit, and at only R2999 per month. The New Renault KWID is an SUV-inspired hatchback. Its rectangular black cladding and flared wheel arches point to its SUV inspiration while also affording additional protection. The large windows ensure good visibility for the driver and play a big part in travelling comfort, while the sharp creases on the bonnet give it a muscular look.

Another suggestion would be the Mitsubishi ASX. For Mitsubishi Motors, nothing is more important than occupant safety, making it a great option for someone who is looking to start a family or already has a small one. Even as a cross-over allowing drivers to access the SUV adventure lifestyle, the new ASX provides drivers and passengers with solid confidence. The ASX uses the latest version of this 2.OL MIVEC aluminium engine, offering 110 kW at 6000 pm and 197m at 4 200 pm, so it has great power. The safety features inherent in the new AS boast Hill Start Assist (HSA) and ASTC – an important safety feature in the rain and on gravel roads whilst manoeuvring.

What about a middle-level entry car that’s perfect for someone who loves those road trips? Well, how about the new 2023 Nissan X-Trail? Besides the completely redesigned exterior, the X-Trail has been updated with new technology and features that make it even more comfortable and convenient. Additionally, the X-Trail comes with a suite of advanced safety features, such as adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, and automatic emergency braking, which can help prevent accidents and keep drivers and passengers safe. Under the hood, the X-Trail is powered by a range of engines, including a hybrid option, which delivers excellent fuel economy without sacrificing power. The hybrid powertrain combines a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine with an electric motor, which produces a combined output of 215 horsepower. The X-Trail’s all-wheel drive system provides excellent traction and stability, making it a great choice for driving in all kinds of weather conditions.

If you’re looking for something more luxurious, check out the Proton X70 Premium. It boasts a sleek design, a spacious interior, and a host of advanced features, such as a panoramic sunroof, a touchscreen infotainment system, adaptive cruise control, and six airbags. It is powered by a turbocharged 1.8-litre engine that delivers 135 kW of power and 300Nm of torque (making it the fastest car of this selection) and comes with a six-speed automatic transmission. One of the main advantages of the Proton X70 is its affordability. Additionally, it has a five-star safety rating from the ASEAN NCAP, which is a testament to its safety features.
