EDITOR’S NOTE

IN THE MAY€JUNE 2022 ISSUE of the Motoring Journal, we preview the VW Amarok which will be launched by end of this year all being well. We do not doubt that CFAO VW will launch it when the time comes. We also preview the still under wraps all new Ford Ranger which is well represented by Croco Motors and Duly’s in Zimbabwe. We definitely will await the arrival of the all new Isuzu which was launched in South Africa recently. When models with dealerships are launched in South Africa, it’s a given that they will eventually find their way into Zimbabwe. We take a look at the Renault Kiger which has a quirky design that makes it stand out.

Zimoco has decided to bring back the Alfa brand through the Alfa Romeo Stelvio. It has ranked amongst the most affordable cars to own in the inaugural AA Spare Parts Pricing Guide. The Alfa Romeo SUV came out top in both categories in the Executive SUV class, one of only two brands to win multiple segments of the research. The recognition comes after its sedan stablemate, the Alfa Romeo Giulia, ranked the winner in the 30th and final AA Kinsey Report last year, which also researched parts and service costs across the South African motor industry. This is a ride for the senior executives in our industry and commerce. It’s a car for all occasions including work and family.

Did you know that the highly sought after Haval H6 is now available in Zimbabwe? Every unit that has landed since launch last year has been snapped up. Zimoco cannot keep up with demand for this hot seller.

There is an all new Honda Fit on the market. The 2022 Honda Fit’s powerful compact dual electric motors are connected to a 1.5-litre i-VTEC petrol engine, with peak power output from the propulsion motor. The total output of 80kW and 253Nm of electric propulsion torque can propel the car to 100km/h in just 9.4 seconds and on to a maximum speed of 175km/h.

Excellence and passion: this is what the members of the global jury of the Women's World Car of the Year are rewarding, having just named the new Peugeot 308 Urban Car of the Year. "Excellence in terms of safety, driving, technology, design, environmental efficiency and value for money", perfectly embodied by the new Peugeot model, according to the 56 - exclusively female - jurors from 40 countries and 5 continents that make up the WWCOTY. In its 12th year, the jury appraised no less than 65 candidates launched between 1st January and 31st December 2021.

The 2022 Zimbabwean Car of the Year (zimCOTY) has been launched. It is now bigger and more exciting with more categories to vote for. Do not let others decide for you. Let your vote count on www.zimbabweancaroftheyear.com

Be safe. Always Mask up. Always sanitise. Most of all obey the rules of the road but remember to practice defensive driving always
