JAC Motors added ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) to its X200 2.8L TDI 1.5-tonne single-cab, enhancing safety for both the crew and cargo. This latest upgrade complements the ABS-equipped X200 1.3-tonne double-cab targeted at organisations with labour-intensive operations.
The X-Series includes two 1.5-tonne single-cab and two 1.3-tonne double-cab derivatives. The X200 double-cab offers seating for six people, an unmatched product offering in the local market. The X-Series is powered by a 2.8-litre four-cylinder direct-injection, inter-cooled, turbo-diesel engine, with customers being able to choose between 68kW (210Nm) or 80kW (240Nm) derivatives.
A forward-cab design is more practical than a standard bakkie. Its main benefit is the increased load box size, which results in much larger load volumes. The X200 single-cab's load box measures almost 2.8 metres and supports a large load area of 4.595mm².
Its cargo area of 2.785mm (length) x 1.650mm (width), coupled with 355mm high drop-sides, is designed for optimal space utilisation. Its maximum permitted payload of 1 500kg is the largest in the forward-cab market.
The X200 double-cab's maximum payload of 1 300 kg matches its single-cab rivals. Despite the space being used to fit three more people inside the extended cab, the X200 double-cab supports a large load area of 3 654mm². The cargo area of 2 215mm (length) x 1 650mm (width) and 355mm high drop-sides can still accommodate heavy and bulky loads.
The X-Series includes a factory-fitted air-conditioner, a height-adjustable steering wheel and comfortable synthetic leather seats with headrests for a relaxing drive. All derivatives feature a Radio/CD/MP3 player with Bluetooth for added safety, while the X200 double-cab also offers electric windows.

Mitsubishi Motors has revived the Pajero name with the launch of the fifth generation Pajero Cross Country. The new model does not simply replace the previous Pajero that disappeared from the market in 2021. Its relationship with the Pajero Sport is equally important, particularly for markets such as South Africa.
Range Rover, long regarded as the original luxury SUV, has introduced its first electric model. The vehicle is built at the Solihull plant in the UK, where Range Rover production has taken place since 1970.

Cars are the ultimate symbol of freedom, independence and individualism. They offer the freedom to ‘go anywhere,’ whenever it suits and with whom one chooses.
