The new body, which is longer, lower and wider than before, apparently was designed under a team-focussing theme known as “Street Wolf”. flat. For me the most interesting version in the four-model range was the entry-level car, using a 2,4-litre engine and a six-speed manual gearbox to drive the front wheels. This is the only petrol version in the range, and the car has fairly basic spec, offering on this model only two airbags. But it sells for a very enticing R379 995.A lot of car for the money. The other models are equipped with six airbags and all employ the more punchy 2,2-litre diesel motor, and prices range from R499 995 for the two-wheeldrive version to a heady R634 995, this range topper offering plenty of extra spec, seven seats and all-wheel-drive. Warranty is at an impressive five year/150 000 km, and as for servicing, the entry level car gets a fouryear/90 000 km service plan while the more expensive models enjoy a five year/100 000 km maintenance plan. 21
