FJ is back, V-Class goes electric & BYD invests in South Africa

In this episode of the Cars.co.za news, David Taylor unpacks all you need to know about the return of the Toyota FJ regarding powertrain, size and whether it will come to South Africa.

Finally some brands are looking into local manufacturing, but its new-energy vehicle brand BYD which will be installing a few hundred public electric car chargers. It's progress!
