2026 VW T-Roc leaked ahead of official reveal
The new Volkswagen T-Roc has been leaked ahead of its official reveal later this month, with screenshots from a since-deleted YouTube video showing the second generation's exterior and interior. Previewed in concept form at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show, the series-production version of Volkswagen's first-generation T-Roc would make its global debut three years later, in 2017. Now, following an eight-year lifespan, which included a facelift in 2021, the second iteration will reportedly be revealed in August 2025. However, before the official unveiling, screenshots, taken from a YouTube video that's since been removed, of the 2026 T-Roc has surfaced online. Shared on Spanish online forum Cochespias, the leaked images show the next-generation model's exterior and interior. Starting with the former, the new T-Roc's exterior styling largely resembles that of the Tiguan, which CAR mag evaluated for a road test in the December 2024 issue. The upcoming model features a more prominent front facia. The front grille and bumper have been redesigned to lend the new model a more purposeful appearance. The new headlamps, which feature fresh daytime-running light signatures, are connected via a light strip. Those with a keen eye will notice the fore and aft VW emblems are illuminated – in white and red, respectively. The new tail lamps are also connected via a light strip, which spans the tailgate. It also looks like new wheel designs will be on offer. The interior of the new T-Roc resembles that of the Tiguan and Mk8.5 Golf. The cabin features such items as new digital instrumentation and a larger touchscreen infotainment system. The haptic buttons on the steering wheel has been replaced by physical items, though climate is still operated via touch sliders.

South Africa's electric vehicle ambition stuck in neutral
Panelists at a discussion on a South Africa's EV roadmap on Wednesday said the country's ambitions were hampered by infrastructure, energy uncertainty, policy developments, decarbonisation deadlines, fuel quality, import tariffs, and the pricing to suit the market. Image: Leon Lestrade / Independent Newspapers Banele Ginidza South Africa, currently selling about 1 000 electric vehicles (EV) a year constituting 1% of the 13 million vehicles on the road, is still miles from realising its EV ambitions. Panelists at a discussion on a South Africa's EV roadmap on Wednesday said the country's ambitions were hampered by infrastructure, energy uncertainty, policy developments, decarbonisation deadlines, fuel quality, import tariffs, and the pricing to suit the market. They pointed to the high grid carbon intensity, which will have to be reduced to comply with Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanisms (CBAM) and other decarbonisation penalties. The discussion was a reflection on the Norwegian experience, which has been in the fast lane to electrify its passenger car sales by 2025. In the first half of 2025, all-electric cars made up a record 94.3% of new car registrations in Norway. In a bid to electrify road transport to help meet Norway's climate commitments, the Norwegian parliament agreed on the National Transport Plan for 2018 – 2029 to have all new car sales as zero emissions by 2025. In South Africa, the rollout of electric vehicles began with Mercedes-Benz's hybrid C-Class in 2018, followed by Toyota's Cross Hybrid in 2021 and BMW's Plug-in Hybrid. Recently, Ford launched the Plug-in Hybrid Ranger in Silverton, Pretoria, showing manufacturers' commitment to enter the evolving EV landscape. Yet despite these introductions, the country's trajectory appears daunting as less than 1 000 EVs were sold in 2024. "The barriers to EV adoption remain the cost of EVs and that we need to talk about," said Saliem Fakir, executive director of the African Climate Foundation (ACF). "Fossil fuel subsidies at the moment amount to R2.3 billion a year, that is according to the National Treasury statistics, that is another reason to look at this." Video Player is loading.

Advertisement Next Stay Close ✕ Ad Loading Hiten Parmar, executive director of the Electric Mission, said there had been a slow progression in the industry. However, Parmar said from 2022 onwards, the EV industry had crossed the 1 000 milestone in every year and just in the first half of 2025 had already reached the 4 000 mark. "This is still not where we need to be. We are still less than 1% of our total fleet of approximately 13 million vehicles in our roads," Parmar said. "There is still work required items of that, but we do acknowledge the models from various manufacturers being introduced into our country and markets with difficult conditions like tariffs and existing structures in place." He said the country's value proposition compared to other regions with automotive industries showed SA was certainly lagging behind with a need to have policy reform and really structuring the demand side and supply side regulations. "Other economies are accelerating very quickly and SA is being left behind in terms of that. We need to advance the sector and take SA forward to the ambitions of the Automotive Master Plan where we want to be at 1% of global production," Parmar said. "It is still a challenge where we export our vehicles because Europe has announced specific timelines in terms of the bans of the vehicles we produce. SA's export market is primarily driven to these two regions that take all the vehicles we produce, and by these bans we won't be able to export the 75% of our vehicle. SA radically needs to change its manufacturing base for EVs towards which global policies are speaking to."

1963 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Roadster heads to auction in the UK
A rare 1963 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Roadster will go under the hammer at H&H Classics' inaugural auction at Kelham Hall in Nottinghamshire, England, on September 10. Expected to fetch between £650,000 and £750,000 (about R15.4m to R17.8m), the car is one of just 209 examples originally fitted with a lightweight alloy engine block and Dunlop four-wheel disc brakes. These late-production Roadsters are among the most sought-after in the 300SL line-up. According to H&H Classics, the alloy engine block has since been replaced with a more robust cast-iron unit — a common modification, as the early aluminium design was prone to warping when overheated. Aside from the block swap, the car is described as retaining its original components, including chassis, body, gearbox and, separately, its original differential. A limited-slip unit is now installed, better suited to the car's rally set-up.
