Toyota’s Bold New Baby SUV on it’s way to SA

in-blog-high-image3

Slotting in under the Rav4 as the brand’s rival to vehicles like the Nissan Qashqai, the Auris-sized C-HR (it stands for Compact High Rider) displays distinctive styling with a coupe-like roofline, hidden rear door handles, and sharp geometric curves reminiscent of cousin Lexus. (Credit: IOL)

Not much technical detail was revealed at the car’s “launch” at the SA Festival of Motoring (it was displayed only in hologram form), except that it’s powered by a 1.2-litre turbocharged engine, marking Toyota’s long-awaited foray into force-fed petrol engines.

The four cylinder unit produces outputs of 84kW and 185Nm and it will be paired with either a manual or CVT transmission powering the front wheels.

Overseas the C-HR will be optionally available in all-wheel drive but it’s not yet confirmed whether this version will come to SA.

BMW Dealer of the Year

The 2015 BMW Group Dealership Awards took place earlier this year and the stakes were high, with so many dealerships across the country trying their best to outperform each other.

In the midst of the competition, we managed to walk away with a staggering 5 awards, including two of the coveted Dealer of the Year Awards, SMG Durban winning BMW Dealer of the Year and for the second consecutive year SMG Rocks winning MINI Dealer of the Year. The other three awards went to:

  • SMG BMW South Coast – Best Dealer in New Car Sales in the BMW Rural sector
  • SMG BMW Pietermaritzburg – Best Dealer in Aftersales in the BMW Metro region
  • SMG MINI Rocks – Best MINI Dealer in Aftersales

It’s also important to note that SMG BMW South Coast tied on Dealer Key Performance Indicators for Best Dealer in Aftersales in the BMW Rural sector, an amazing achievement.

These awards are a true testament to our unrelenting pursuit of perfection, unwavering care for our customers and unquestionable power in innovation. Our rich heritage and reputation of excellence in the South African automotive industry precedes itself, and we’ve managed to prove it, yet again.

We’ve always regarded ourselves as an organisation that does things the right way – which is not always the same as the easy way, and it is this attention to detail that separates us from our competitors around the country, and will continue to do so in the coming years.

Join us in celebrating this unbelievable achievement – we’re giving you R30 000 deal assist on all used and demo cars, click here T&Cs Apply

MINI Dealer of the Year

SMG Rocks achieved top honours at the 2015 BMW Group Dealership Awards when we took home arguably the two most prestigious awards that a MINI dealership could win. This included:

  • Best MINI Dealer of the Year
  • Best MINI Dealer in Aftersales

SMG Rocks is KwaZulu-Natal’s first exclusive MINI dealership, and after its opening in 2012, it has just gone from strength to strength with no indication of relinquishing its position as one of South Africa’s leading MINI dealerships. With these awards, having been just a mere four years since the dealership’s opening, it is safe to say that SMG Rocks has cemented our place as a service leader in South Africa’s motoring industry.

We have always prided ourselves as masters in innovation housing two BMW Approved Repair Centres, a state-of-the-art SMG Cape Town dealership which opened in 2009, SMG South Coast which opened in 2011 and scooping up awards in between.

This all comes as little surprise since SMG Rocks persistently pursues perfection in every aspect of our service and product offering, and we won’t stop now as we introduce the 3rd Quarter Select
Deals that will send you racing to our Umhlanga dealership.
