Alfa Romeo celebrates 100 000th Tonale SUV built

The model is the opening gambit for the Italian automaker into a new electrified era. The exact vehicle in question to signify this milestone was a red Sprint model destined for the Italian market, so it won't ever be seen on local roads, but it does represent a stylish niche offering in the premium SUV segment locally.

Launched in 2022, the Tonale was Alfa Romeo's first step into hybrid territory, which was globally offered across three levels of trim. Opening the line-up was the Sprint, then Veloce, and Intensa. Global engine options range from turbo diesel powertrains to more potent plug-in hybrid alternatives with all-wheel drive. The new Intensa special edition adds 20-inch gold-accented wheels, Alcantara interiors, and a 470W Harman Kardon sound system.

While South Africa doesn't get the full range, the Tonale has been available locally with a 1.5-litre turbocharged hybrid engine in either Ti or Veloce trims and is priced between R811 899 and R895 129 going up against premium rivals from Germany and Japan. With this milestone, Alfa Romeo has also highlighted some of its headline accolades since its inception. It's scooped up awards across Europe, the US, and Latin America – including Green SUV of the Year in the US and Best Design 2025 in Chile.

BMW E1: The unlikely 1991 concept that quietly shaped the future of EVs
Looking at the pictures of this dumpy, rust-coloured city car, you're no doubt wondering how such a creation could find its way onto our Cool Concepts page, but BMW's E1 was more cutting-edge and influential than its pedestrian appearance would suggest. Looking for a new or used vehicle? Find it here with CARmag! Unveiled at the 1991 Frankfurt Motor Show in response to tightening emissions laws coming out of the United States (remember, in the 80s, between 70 and 80% of cars there were V8-engined), the E1 was a product of BMW Technik GmbH: the same engineering division that brought us such novelties as the Z1 and the zany Z18, which placed a Z3 roadster-style body on a high-riding SUV chassis. BMW was all too aware of the limitations of battery technology at the time, especially with regard to operating range and charging, so it chose to develop E1 as an urban mobility solution. Related: All-New Honda Amaze Lands in SA – Pricing and Spec Unlike many concepts, which are little more than an eye-catching shell on a chassis, powered by a golf cart motor, the E1 was built as a fully roadworthy prototype. This meant that in addition to accommodating the practical considerations and high-quality cabin materials typical of BMWs, the E1 also had to conform to the crash-safety standards of the day. To achieve this, the car was not only fitted with dual front airbags, but also utilised an innovative construction comprising an aluminium frame clad with plastic panels that was both tough and lightweight. A rear axle-mounted electric motor fed by sodium-sulphur batteries mounted under the rear seat (another nod to production-viable crash safety) developed a modest 37kW but was good for a top speed of 120km/h and a very respectable range of 200km. Charging was achieved via a standard electrical socket, using a plug stashed in one of the E1's kidney grille panels, and took six hours. Related: Toyota Celebrates 40 Years at Le Mans With Throwback Liveries These features may not seem that significant by current standards, but they were cutting-edge at a time when EVs were little more than an automotive pipe dream. Unfortunately, the E1 was perhaps a little too far ahead of its time in some regards. Deficiencies in the cooling systems needed for the sodium-sulphur batteries, which had the double-threat disadvantages of high optimal operating temperature and highly combustible innards, were revealed when the original prototype caught fire while charging, destroying the car and part of an adjacent building. Consequently, BMW utilised more stable sodium-nickel chloride batteries for its successor, the 1993 Z15 concept. The E1 may have looked bizarre and been limited by the battery technology of the time (not to mention sadly combustible) but its design and architecture would go on to form the blueprint for BMW's first production-series EV, the i3, as well as casting the die for the growing range of impressive i EV models to come.

440kW Omoda C9 PHEV coming to South Africa this month
The Omoda C9 PHEV is set to launch in South Africa this month, bringing a formidable plug-in hybrid punch to the SUV market. Looking for a new or used Omoda C9? Find it here with CARmag! This new offering boasts 440kW of power and 915N.m of torque, derived from a 1.5l turbo-petrol engine combined with four electric motors. This output positions the C9 PHEV to challenge performance SUVs that are significantly more expensive. While official acceleration figures are yet to be released, the substantial power output suggests a 0–100km/h time that could potentially rival some German competitors. Of particular note are the impressive efficiency claims: Omoda states the C9 PHEV consumes just 1.4l/100km and features a 34.5kWh battery, providing an electric-only range of up to 150km — more than double what many PHEVs currently offer. The total claimed range extends to approximately 1 100km, and DC fast charging allows for a 30% to 80% charge in just 25 minutes. Visually, the C9 PHEV is nearly identical to its petrol-powered counterpart, with the key differences lying beneath the surface and in its badging. Initially, South Africa will receive only the top-spec Explore model. While final specifications are pending confirmation, it is anticipated to include features such as 20-inch wheels, Nappa leather upholstery, a panoramic roof, and heated seats for all occupants. Given the petrol C9's existing features, adaptive suspension and a 540-degree camera system are also likely to be carried over. Related: Review: Omoda C7 SHS As a reminder, the Omoda lineup currently comprises two models, namely the 2.0TGDI 400T Inspire and the 2.0TGDI 400 T Explore AWD, which are priced at R785 900 and R885 900 respectively. The jury is still out on pricing, but with the added tech, it could approach the clutches of a seven-figure price tag. Click here and browse thousands of new and used vehicles here with CARmag!

Innovation helps youth-owned brand RE-L8 thrive in competitive fashion world
Rustenburg-based youth-owned clothing brand RE-L8 (pronounced RELATE) has gone from strength to strength since its launch in 2016. The proudly South African label was founded by Kau twins, Bonang and Duduetsan, when they were still students. Starting with just 6 printed caps initially made for a group of friends, they managed to scale the business into a mini factory as demand grew for their growing product range. Gugs Mhlungu asks co-founder Bonang Kau about the inspiration for their distinctive multi-functional clothing items.
