Finally! New Golf GTI coming to SA. Plus Hilux Legend 55 and New MG3 Pricing Revealed

This video provides a concise overview of the latest news in the South African automotive industry, focusing on three key vehicle announcements. The first major story covers the updated Volkswagen Golf GTI, referred to as the 8.5, which is confirmed for the local market. The new model will feature an engine output increase to 195 kW and a faster 0 to 100 km/h acceleration time of 5.9 seconds. Volkswagen enthusiasts can expect this facelifted model to arrive in South Africa in the fourth quarter of 2025.

Next, the video introduces the new Toyota Hilux Legend 55, a special edition celebrating 55 years of the Hilux brand in South Africa. The range will include four different derivatives with prices ranging from R728,000 to R935,000. It comes with several exclusive accessories, such as a sports bar, bash plate, and a lockable roller shutter. The Legend 55 will also be available in two unique colors: Sand Beige and Dark Green Mica Metallic.

Finally, the video highlights the launch of the new MG3 hatchback, a vehicle positioned to compete with popular city cars like the Suzuki Swift and Toyota Starlet. Priced aggressively from R270,000, the MG3 aims to disrupt the market with its value proposition. While the flagship model will be a hybrid, other variants will be powered by a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine. All models are equipped with a strong safety package, including six airbags.

This summary provides a quick look at these new vehicles, their features, and their expected impact on the South African car market.
