SUPERCHARGED GO-KART FEELING AND LIFE-AFFIRMING DESIGN.

 

Opening a new chapter in our history, the all-electric MINI is MINI at its most intense. Combining MINI’s inventiveness and ingenuity, it empowers on a whole new electrifying level. Its modern aesthetic blends aerodynamic lines with signature details. With its iconic design, it still retains the classic MINI look – and it would scream style, if it wasn’t so stylish. It’s still the MINI you love. But a whole lot more besides.

MINI has always steered away from convention. But we have always kept to our principles. Creative use of space and human-centric design still inform everything we do. Now we’ve introduced a powerful new element – pure electric mobility. With its thrilling handling, driving a MINI has always been electric – now we’re giving ‘fully-charged’ a whole new meaning.

The new all-electric MINI is a real head-turner. It captures the soul of the streets with its independent spirit and playful personality. Confident yet charming, it’s the perfect choice for unconventional drivers. What’s more, there are four trim levels giving you a host of exciting ways to individualise your MINI inside and out. Forge a new path. Engage with the city like never before. The possibilities are electrifying.

Make an appointment today with your dealer to test drive the all-electric MINI – and get charged with passion.

In July 2006, Lexus was relaunched to the South African market as a unique standalone marque distinct in quality and craftsmanship from its mother company Toyota. As a result of the revitalisation project Lexus now sells more cars every year than in the 11 years prior to the relaunch, fast becoming a household name, living up to its covenant to provide a platform for the perfect moment.

With 13 premium, standalone dealerships situated in major metropolitan areas around the country, the Lexus showroom experience has been compared to that enjoyed at a Five Star boutique hotel.

Each Lexus model has been built to the highest levels of comfort and refinement, and each vehicle includes a level of specification and technological features as part of the package

LEXUS SOUTH AFRICA ARE GUIDED BY THE FOLLOWING PRINCIPLES:

To uphold to the ideals of perfection and the promise of luxury moments, Lexus lives by stringent principles, namely:

• Honour the language and spirit of the law of every nation and undertake open and fair corporate activities to be a good corporate citizen of the world.
• Respect the culture and customs of every nation and contribute to economic and social development through corporate activities in the communities.
• Dedicate ourselves to providing clean and safe products and to enhancing the quality of life everywhere through all our activities.
• Create and develop advanced technologies and provide outstanding products and services that fulfil the needs of customers worldwide.
• Foster a corporate culture that enhances individual creativity and teamwork value, while honouring mutual trust and respect between labour and management.
• Pursue growth in harmony with the global community through innovative management.
• Work with business partners in research and creation to achieve stable, long-term growth and mutual benefits, while keeping ourselves open to new part

When Lexus launched its first production vehicles in 1989, it made a commitment to pursue perfection – hence the original Lexus tagline: “The Pursuit of Perfection”. Within a short period of time, highly acclaimed cars and exceptional customer service became global hallmarks of the Lexus brand.

While the obsession with perfection has not waned, the Lexus brand has advanced into something much bigger than just a motoring marque. Lexus has become a way of life. This is evident in the way that the brand has been sharing its passion for craftsmanship by partnering with world-renowned artists, supporting up-and-coming designers, and working to create amazing from film to fashion. It seems to make sense that the Lexus tagline will change from “The Pursuit of Perfection” to “Experience Amazing”.

“The reason for the global tagline is because it delivers a strong, unified message and signals the brand’s new shift towards a “lifestyle” direction. The two key words are EXPERIENCE – which relates to the design and engineering ingenuity of Lexus vehicles – and AMAZING, which relates to the impressions we would like our customers to feel behind the wheel,” says Glenn Crompton, Vice-President of Marketing at Lexus South Africa.

As a manufacturer, Lexus has moved beyond its reputation for high quality vehicles with the integration of innovative technology, emotional exterior and interior designs, and engaging driving dynamics and performance.

While we hope that you will enjoy to “Experience Amazing”, Lexus also assures you that it will continue to pursue perfection in its evolving journey.

To celebrate World Land Rover Day, Land Rover has announced plans for the new Defender to complete a final phase of field testing with Tusk Trust, on location in Kenya.

A Defender prototype wearing a unique camouflage will experience life at the Borana Conservancy as part of Land Rover’s 15-year partnership with Tusk Trust.

The prototype will tow heavy loads, wade through rivers and carry supplies across unforgiving terrain in a series of real-world trials at the 14,000-hectare reserve.

By the time the new Defender makes its public debut later this year, it will have passed more than 45,000 individual tests in some of the most extreme environments on earth. Land Rover engineers have taken the test fleet to the 50-degree heat of the desert, the sub 40-degree cold of the Arctic, as well as up to 10,000ft altitude of the Rocky Mountains in Colorado to ensure the new Defender will take everyday life in its stride, for even its most adventurous customers.

Nick Rogers, Executive Director, Product Engineering, Jaguar Land Rover, said: “In addition to the extensive simulation and rig testing, we’ve driven new Defender 1.2 million kilometres across all terrains and in extreme climates to ensure that it is the toughest and most capable Land Rover ever made. The incredible opportunity to put it to the test in the field, supporting operations at the Borana Conservancy in Kenya, with Tusk, will allow our engineers to verify that we are meeting this target as we enter the final phase of our development programme.”

With on-road dynamics honed at the Nürburgring facility in Germany and all-terrain credentials tested on the muddy roads of Eastnor, UK, the rocky trails of Moab in Utah, and the sand dunes of Dubai, the new 4×4 promises to bring unparalleled breadth of capability and new levels of comfort and driveability to the Defender family.

The new Defender has been designed and developed in the UK, at Gaydon, home to Land Rover’s world-class design, engineering and testing facilities. The new home of global Defender production will be Land Rover’s recently opened state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Nitra, Slovakia.
Land Rover has been an official partner of Tusk Trust wildlife conservation charity for 15 years, helping to reach some of the world’s most remote locations. News of the testing initiative has been announced to mark World Land Rover Day, which is celebrated on 30 April every year to mark the world premiere of the original Land Rover at the Amsterdam Motor Show on this day in 1948.

Land Rover South Africa has worked with its counterparts at Special Vehicle Operations (SVO) in the UK to develop a one-of-a-kind Range Rover Sport SVR as a tribute to the Springbok rugby team.

Land Rover, which is a Worldwide Partner of Rugby World Cup 2019™ and South African sponsors of the Springboks worked hand-in-hand with the SVO team, not only to express its commitment to being the number one automotive brand in rugby, but also to demonstrate the bespoke commissioning capabilities of Special Vehicles Operations.

Created a in three-way partnership with SVO, Land Rover South Africa and the South African Rugby Union (SARU), the unique Range Rover Sport is the first and only vehicle to be completely finished in the Springboks’ very specific green hue. The exact Pantone colour match was applied to the Range Rover’s bare shell at the very start of its build process at SVO’s dedicated paint facility. Custom Springbok logos and bespoke yellow brake calipers finish off the exterior’s visual enhancements.

Normally reserved for Land Rover’s own trademark logos, the circular plaques on the Sport’s B-pillars and front and rear treadplates now also feature Springbok insignias and script. Custom touches inside include special yellow shift paddles, and contrast yellow stitching on the seats and door panels. The interior mood lighting has also been adapted to radiate a green glow.

Tina Pienaar-Smit, Jaguar Land Rover PR and Sponsorship Specialist, said:“Land Rover and rugby go hand-in-hand so it only made sense to demonstrate the allegiance in automotive form. We have a great resource in SVO, and its capabilities are ideal to make the connection between the Land Rover and Springbok brands a tangible reality. We hope each member of the Springbok team appreciates the final product as much as we do.”

Jurie Roux, CEO of SA Rugby, said: “We entered the process of designing this vehicle with Land Rover some months ago, and SARU is delighted to have played a part in the result. This project is the first of its kind for the Springboks and I’m sure there will be many excited conversations among the players who will get the opportunity to drive it.”

Opened in the British Midlands in 2016, the SVO Technical Centre specialises in manufacturing, personalisation and commissioning programmes for Jaguar Land Rover vehicles. Interested customers are encouraged to participate in the design of their own cars with near endless possibilities for custom schemes.

South African customers can contact any Jaguar Land Rover dealer for potential bespoke commissions to be fulfilled by Special Vehicle Operations in the UK.

The Springbok tribute Range Rover Sport SVR will makes its public debut at the Jaguar Simola Hillclimb on 4 and 5 May. Race fans can watch the 10^thanniversary edition of the Jaguar Simola Hillclimb via livestream at http://www.youtube.com/user/JaguarSA1
