Following the official brand re-launch by the Salvador Caetano Group, JMC South Africa announce the arrival of the All-New JMC Vigus.
The new Vigus commands attention with a mecha-inspired front face and muscular body lines, measuring 5 335mm x 1 882mm x 1 834mm.
Inside, the Vigus proves that a workhorse doesn’t have to compromise on comfort. The cabin features ergonomic seats from the world-renowned brand Lear.
It also has a 12.8” large touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto and a 9” floating instrument cluster and a two-spoke steering wheel.
Enhanced safety features including Hill-Start Assist (HLA), Hill Descent Control (HDC), and a Tire Pressure Monitoring System.
Powered by a 2.5L Turbo Diesel engine, the Vigus delivers a maximum power of 123kW and peak torque of 430Nm.
The Vigus has been validated over 4 million kilometres of intensive testing, the equivalent of circling the Earth 100 times, to ensure it lives up to the promise of unmatched durability, the manufacturer claims.
The 6-speed manual 4x2 is priced at R399 900. The 8-speed automatic 4x2 retails at R459 900, and the range-topping 8-speed automatic 4x4 is priced at R499 900.
Electric vehicles (EVs) have introduced a whole new vocabulary into motoring. Instead of simply talking about litres of fuel, cylinders and kilometres per tank, motorists are now confronted with kW, kWh, AC, DC, WLTP, regenerative braking and a host of other terms.
Young South African motorists are increasingly opting for more affordable and practical vehicles as the cost of living puts pressure on household budgets, while still maintaining comprehensive insurance cover.
The row over BMW’s Spider-Man promotion is not really about superheroes. It is about trust, control and the creeping feeling that modern cars are becoming digital platforms first and private possessions second.
