Lexus unveiled the next chapter of its flagship SUV with the electrifying LX 700h. For the first time, the LX is available in a Hybrid (HEV) version, marking a key milestone as all Lexus models now offer HEV options.
What is it?
The LX700h is available in three variants – Overtrail, F SPORT, and VIP with a 3.5-litre V6 hybrid engine in the petrol variant that generates 341kW of power, making this LX the most powerful model to date. For those seeking a diesel option, the LX delivers 225kW with a 10-speed automatic transmission.
LX 700h Overtrail:
Designed for pure adventure, the LX 700h Overtrail pushes boundaries with its off-road capabilities with 4x4 technology, a new petrol hybrid engine and rugged 18-inch wheels.

Contoured headrests and vibrating (massaging) seats elevate the journey.

Range anxiety remains one of the main concerns for motorists considering a switch to electrified vehicles, particularly in markets where charging infrastructure is still developing. iCAUR believes its new V27 SUV offers an alternative by combining electric driving capability with extended driving range through a range-extender powertrain.
GWM has expanded its P300 line-up with the introduction of the P300 2.0T Pioneer Hi4-T PHEV, marking the arrival of the first electrified version of the bakkie range.
As a relatively new player in South Africa's motoring industry, LDV is often assumed to stand for "Light Delivery Vehicles". The acronym actually originates from Leyland DAF Vans, a heritage that dates to the founding of Leyland Motors in the UK in 1896. The brand is now part of the SAIC Motor Group, one of the world's largest automotive manufacturers.

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.
