GRANTED, THE FESTIVE SEASON IS USUALLY FRAUGHT WITH SALES AND ALL SORTS OF TEMPTING CAR DEALS. What's up with that? Manufacturers and sales personnel usually want to hit (and possibly surpass) their targets by getting rid of stock before the start of the festive cheer. The catch? The special deals usually mean that you can't have your exact specification picks and colour. The plus? Your new wheels will probably only be registered in the new year, meaning better resale value! Now that we've let you in on that valuable info, here are some of the wheels we look forward to seeing on the roads in the 'new year. And these include a range of hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), which have seen a rise in demand locally since 2020. Think of an HEV model as the messiah who's come to save you tons of rands on petrol. Now, that's music to any motorist's ears!
