Nissan Qashqai – from R343 500
Perfect for families in the city…
If your family spends a lot of time in the city, but also enjoys a good road trip from time to time, the new Qashqai offers a great balance of features to cater for this. It is light, relaxing to drive and really stands out on the road.
The new Qashqai introduces Nissan’s latest innovative technology, known as NIM (Nissan Intelligent Mobility), to make city and long road driving safer and more convenient than ever before.

Volkswagen Touareg – from R999 800
Perfect for families in need of a premium, upmarket VW…
Perhaps in the past, Volkswagen has never crossed your mind when you thought about premium SUVs in the local market, especially with so many high-end brands that would usually be associated with this sort of quality.
This is where the new Volkswagen Touareg steps up to offer a truly premium SUV option in the VW range. It’s also the most technologically advanced VW model in the range, and there’s loads of cool features for your family, such as Night Vision, a range of features in its Offroad Mode and an advanced Cruise Control system, to name just a few.

Opel Grandland X – from R429 000
Perfect for family road trips…
Offering top technology, off-road looks, new lighting, more space and comfort and a superbly smooth ride, this is the perfect family vehicle to road trip in. The Grandland X is where sporty character meets the spirit of adventure. We love that it boasts off-road intentions through its bold and outdoorsy personality.
Light and precise steering is a real joy, especially when maneuvering around twisty roads and gravel.

Volvo XC40 – from R489 500
Perfect for smaller families…
Sure, there are bigger Volvo SUVs to choose from but we chose the XC40 because even as Volvo’s smallest SUV, it still offers loads of interior space for the family. It also boasts a number of safety systems to keep you and your loved ones safe on long distance road trips.
