There are many expressions in the English language to describe the passing – or lack thereof – of time and, pretty much all of them, except for ageing, has relevance only to the subject matter at that . . . well, time. Still, it does not feel like more than 30 years have passed since the Renault Clio made its European debut – an event missed...

Renault was once synonymous with safety. The Laguna was the first car to get five stars, back in 2001. But these disappointing results for the ZOE and the Dacia Spring show safety has now become collateral damage in the group’s transition to electric cars - Michiel van Ratingen, Secretary General of Euro NCAP

25 Jun, 2019
The Renault Koleos competes in a very crowded segment, competing with the likes of the RAV4, CX-5, Tucson, and more. However, in an age of appallingly anodyne vehicles, it is gloriously distinctive – along with the Peugeot 3008, which sits in the same segment – and for perhaps that reason alone, it deserves to succeed. James Siddall explains…

Calvin Fisher has driven the new Renault Koleos - its second coming in fact - playing in the D SUV Segment, rivalling the likes of the Volkswagen Tiguan and Ford Kuga. If you’re not put off by a car that is more handsome than you – the Koleos is a hot prospect and trumps by some margin its marmite (you either loved, it or hated it) predecessor.

Renault hit it out the park with the original Duster, offering no-frills charm with big value-for-money prospects. These days, however, there are a number of brands offering pocket-friendly, practical cars that suit the lifestyle of the more outdoorsy type. Can the new Renault Duster slug it out with the best of them? Kelly Lodewyks digs in.

It’s been 5 years since the Renault Duster was introduced, causing a stir in motoring circles, with its affordable (for a compact SUV) price and competent off-road credentials. It wasn’t perfect, though, with a few interior ergonomic issues, and slightly low-rent feel. Have these issues been solved with the new 2018 version? Read on to find out.

Hot off spending quality time with the new king of hot hatches – the Honda Civic Type R – Calvin Fisher was whisked away to Port Elizabeth to sample a very worthy French competitor, the new Renault Megane RS. With high hopes and equally high pedigree for hot-hatch hoonery, is the new version able to elevate itself above the cream of the crop?

Having spent a year at the helm of that 2011 Renault Sandero Stepway, Kelly Lodewyks was eager to see what the new Stepway Plus – the replacement for the previous Stepway Dynamique – has to offer. Is the Sandero Stepway still able to offer cheap, but cheerful motoring, with smatterings of crossover appeal? Or has it grown too big for its boots?

With Crossover/Compact SUV numbers growing exponentially, for many becoming the default choice as a next purchase, the Renault Captur with a R219 900.00 starting price makes a good case for eschewing a hatchback altogether and trading up into this massively competitive market from the get go.

The Renault Sport Mégane Trophy apologises for absolutely nothing (especially its super-stiff ride), and make no mistake, this is as close to a racecar for the road you will get at this price. Yes, it is compromised, but what it lacks it more than makes up for with the most intense, rewarding driving experience.

If you can look past the slightly underpowered engine, and any negative connotations associated with French products, the new Clio is brimming with French flair, good dynamics and a healthy wallop of standard tech, more so than the new Polo, and in that regard it surely does deserve your money.

The Duster really is the perfect entry level compact SUV for the small family, and in terms of size, spec, drivetrain with selectable four-wheel drive, and price (R259 900) it can’t be matched. Yes, fairly hard plastics are bountiful but by virtue of the Dusters price, frugal and willing engine, and the other standard spec, it is easily forgiven.

At R284 900 the Megane GT-Line represents a great option if you’re looking for a hot-hatch but aren’t keen on shelling out a fortune. Considering the hotter Megane GT is a full R45k dearer, and a similarly powerful Golf is roughly R16 000 more expensive with half the standard kit, is not time to take this French contender seriously?
