Exclusive First Drive & Full Review: 2025 Haval H6 HEV Facelift hits SA! Is this SA's Hybrid King?

Buckle up, Mzansi! We got the EXCLUSIVE first drive of the brand-new 2025 Haval H6 HEV Facelift, straight from the official launch in South Africa! GWM gave us early access to this hybrid beast, and we’re spilling ALL the tea—new looks, upgraded tech, and that eco-friendly hybrid powertrain that’s ready to take on SA’s roads. Is this the ultimate SUV for 2025? From the sleek redesigned grille to the 179 kW hybrid system sipping just 5.2L/100km, we put it through its paces to see if it lives up to the hype. Join us for a fun ride as we break down the features, performance, and whether this facelifted H6 HEV is worth your hard-earned rands!

The 2025 Ford Maverick Lobo Is the Coolest Small Truck Around

CHECK OUT CARS & BIDS!
https://crsnbds.com/doug

This is the new 2025 Ford Maverick Lobo and it's a factory built street truck. The Lobo is lowered, has some performance upgrades, and is designed to look cooler and more sporty than the standard Maverick. Today I'm reviewing this Maverick Lobo and I'll show you the many quirks and features. I'm also going to get behind the wheel and show you what it's like to drive.
