WATCH: Here’s what went down at the WOW x COSMO Drive Day with Mahindra SA
This weekend (31 August 2019) we teamed up with Mahindra South Africa in the Mother City where 20 of our readers embarked on a fun-filled Drive Day with some of Mahindra’s SUVs – one of which was the new and highly anticipated XUV300.
Here’s a recap of every exciting moment from the day:
The day kicked off at the Mahindra Ottery dealership where our energetic readers enjoyed a yummy ‘breakfast on a bakkie’ courtesy of Wild Sprout Cape Town, before being briefed on the day ahead. To demonstrate the capabilities and creature comforts of Mahindra’s city SUV’s, we put together an action-packed driving challenge for our readers to enjoy for the first half of the day. The challenge required our ladies, in teams of four, to carefully follow a route guide that would lead them into the heart of Cape Town in order to collect puzzle pieces at six different landmarks and tourist destinations. Part of the city-drive included some challenging navigation as well as some intimidating hill start control and parking manoeuvres – but our fearless females conquered every obstacle without any fuss and while smiling all the way, proving that women CAN drive!
Once all the puzzle pieces were collected our convoy then headed out to the Constantia Winelands for a delectable picnic-style lunch and pampering session at Simons, Groot Constantia. Between mini spa treatments by Beauty Atelier, a lucky draw took place and one of our winners won a weekend with the super snazzy XUV300!
Our Reader Drive Days are a fantastic way for ladies to come together and experience new cars in a relaxed and fun way, and of course, the goodie bags are always well received. If you missed it this time, keep your eyes peeled on WOW online, as we have some more exciting Drive Days planned!
