SMG continue the award winning way

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]SMG again takes top honours at the recent BMW annual awards held in Johannesburg on the 26th February 2018. SMG was awarded by BMW South Africa as the MINI Dealer of the Year.

To be recognised as the Dealer of the Year, BMW South Africa focuses on a number of key performance indicators. These measure the overall performance of the dealership and the customer centricity of the dealership in relation to the entire dealer network in South Africa.

Being awarded Dealer of the Year means, measured on the standards set by BMW South Africa, SMG delivered the best overall dealer experience throughout South Africa. These results were received through ensuring that customers experienced nothing less than perfect in a dealership environment that always puts customers first and delivers on the promise of service excellence.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”4534″ img_size=”full”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”4512″ img_size=”full”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Patrick McCarthy, Dealer Principal of SMG MINI Rocks, said “receiving the Dealer of the Year award on behalf of the team at SMG Rocks is an amazing honour. The team have worked relentlessly over the course of the past 4 years, winning MINI Dealer of the Year consecutively in 2015 and 2016, MINI International Dealer of the Year in 2017 and following that up again with MINI Dealer of the year this year. I would like to thank the team for their time and sacrifice to continuously push SMG Rocks to new heights. I would also like to thank our customers for their loyal support and assure you that we will continue to provide you with the SMG 5 star experience.”

Speaking on the accolades achieved by SMG, Sean McCarthy, Managing Director and Founder of SMG said “It has always been our goal to provide our customers with the most incredible experience. Whether purchasing a vehicle or aftersales requirements, our ethos has always been to have a customer centric approach. To have been recognised consistently by BMW South Africa over the years pays testament to the pride of the world class team that we have at SMG and their dedication towards our customers. We have seen a number of changes at SMG over the past few months in a strategic move to grow the SMG footprint within the greater Durban and North Coast regions. This year will be an exciting evolution of the SMG brand and we look forward to delivering the SMG experience through our new dealerships.”

SMG’s presence in KZN, as well as the Western Cape, is as strong as ever and you are invited to visit your nearest SMG BMW and MINI dealership for a coffee, a quote, test drive and most importantly to find your dream vehicle.

The New Mini Countryman D

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

Earlier this year the new MINI Countryman was revealed to South Africa. Boasting a bigger and bolder design,increased luxury and the latest technology, the new Countryman has never been more suited for a growing family.
Previously, MINI customers were only able to select from a derivative of petrol engines when speccing their MINI, Countryman or otherwise. All has changed as for the first time in South Africa, MINI has launched a Diesel engine into the range, and what better model to kick start this progression than the latest MINI model –  Welcome the Mini Countryman  D.

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”3547″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” onclick=”zoom” el_class=”imagecar”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”3549″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” onclick=”zoom”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”3551″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” onclick=”zoom”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Featuring a 2.0-litre diesel engine, the Countryman D produces 110 kW and 330 Nm of torque, providing an effortless, comfortable drive with fuel economy that would make a hybrid look twice – 4.3l/100km combined to be exact. The low-end torque produced by this new engine makes highway cruising a dream, especially when matched to the ultra-smooth 8-Speed Automatic gearbox.

With MINI’s driving modes, one can choose from Green, Mid or Sport, depending on their driving mood. Green mode emphasises the comfort and relaxed drive of the Mini Countryman by further optimising the accelerator for fuel saving purposes, and adjusting the steering and suspension for comfort, perfect for long distance adventures. On the other end of the scale, Sport Mode does the exact opposite, throttle sensitivity is increased, and steering becomes more precise, enabling a more spirited and enjoyable driving experience.[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”3550″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]With the MINIConnected system, the driver can always be in touch with their MINI no matter how much distance is between them. Via the mobile app, one can locate their beloved MINI and view valuable information such as fuel levels and range, the last recorded journey, where your MINI is currently parked and even receive directions to its exact location.

With the introduction of the MINI Countryman Diesel into the range, we can say that there is a MINI Countryman model suited to everyone. If you are a long distance road tripper, a daily city slicker, a budget minded family or even a performance infused petrol head – We have a Countryman to suit your needs.
