Sometimes, the old hatchback doesn’t do it anymore. No matter how much you love your car, you’re not 21 anymore, and it’s getting a little cramped when you pile the kids in the back for the morning school run. Relax, you don’t have to struggle anymore!
Every mom knows exactly what a family car needs. They need to be big, strong, reliable, and most importantly safe. It’s your family they are transporting, and when it comes to your family, nothing is too good for them.
Luckily for you, we know what you need: an SUV! Whether you’re looking for demo cars for sale or pre-owned SUVs, let’s take a look at what makes SUVs so perfect for the everyday supermom.
We’re not kidding: These cars are big! Thanks to SUVs’ larger frames, it’s perfectly possible to load the kids, the dogs, the sports equipment, school bags, the shopping, and the thousand other things necessary to keep life on track while on the go and still be comfortable inside!
In addition, those cross-provincial family road trips will be even more possible thanks to the spacious interior. With an SUV, you or your children don’t have to be so cramped next to all the luggage on your next holiday. Instead, everyone can stretch out their legs and relax in comfort as the road rolls by.
Family comes first, right? All modern mothers know that the most important things in their lives are their families, and the SUV is brilliant for that. Thanks to their larger, heavier sizes, SUVs offer much better protection in the event a collision occurs.
But more than that, the average SUV comes with plenty of driver-assist features that ensure the safety of you and your family. These systems alert the driver to oncoming hazards and road obstacles, give you directions and come with inbuilt sensors to help you spot those hard-to-see objects that often catch drivers of larger vehicles. Thanks to an increased clearance level, your car sits higher than most other vehicles, allowing you to drive over obstacles that could cause major damage to any other car.
Examples of SUV car brands ranked amongst the top safety picks in the last couple of years include Hyundai, Mitsubishi, Kia, Subaru, Mazda, and Mercedes-Benz.
Thanks to their growing popularity among families, the brilliant minds responsible for designing the modern-day SUV have tailored it to your needs. SUVs are famous for their fuel efficiency, which means you can use them to run errands without needing to fill up half a dozen times before reaching your destination.
But saving you money isn’t enough for the SUV manufacturer, which is why many SUVs come equipped with world-saving hybrid or electric engines, which, as we all know, preserves the world for our children and grandchildren to enjoy.
It should come as no surprise to anyone looking at an SUV that these guys were originally designed to go off-road. Now, over the years, they may have lost their macho image, but that doesn’t mean they can’t handle a dodgy road. Due to the fact that they are so high off the ground, the average SUV will be able to drive on any road surface, no matter its condition. Whether you are driving on the nicest roads in the richest city in the country or on the most potholed piece of tarmac in existence, your SUV will be able to handle it easily, without any problems or damage.
Because of their increasing popularity, SUVs in South Africa are coming down in price as manufacturers compete with each other to sell the most cars. You don’t have to compromise on durability or any other special feature either. From the Renault Kwid to the Kia Sonet or a Ford EcoSport subcompact SUV and everything in between, you’re sure to find SA’s most loved SUVs for a good deal.
There are other benefits to owning an SUV, too many to list, but here are a few more for you to consider:
All in all, an SUV is the perfect purchase for a mother that wants the best for her family, and looks stylish while doing it. Browse our comprehensive list of available SUV demo cars for sale at a competitive price.

It brings some serious competition to the market as a 5-seater SUV with a claimed 6.9 L/100 km fuel consumption rate.

In South Africa, bakkies are renowned for their tough exteriors and exceptional power. For most, it's the complete package, blending both performance and practicality.
With this in mind, we have an incredible line-up as consumers shop from the preowned, demo, and new markets when comparing bakkies for sale. There are the usual brands that most South Africans flock to, and then there are the newcomers, who are bringing some competition.
Take, for example, the freshly crisp Isuzu D-Max AT35 bakkie. It’s a good option to consider, bringing a certain coolness and edge to the highly competitive segment. But what can it offer you, especially against the likes of the formidable Toyota Hilux, Ford Ranger or even Nissan Navara?
Arctic Adventurer: The Isuzu D-Max AT35
The Isuzu D-Max AT35 hit our shores earlier this year, bringing a cold front to the bakkie market for the foreseeable future. It can conquer urban jungles and off-road terrain just as well. Here’s what you need to know: The Arctic Truck is a sculpted masterpiece with a styled yet muscular frame, equipped with a 3.0L engine and a 6-speed automated transmission gearbox. It exudes toughness while managing to remain contemporary.
Anti-lock brakes, ESC (Electronic Stability Control), and a number of airbags throughout the front end of the interior cabin come standard. Other support systems include the speed-sensitive lock, parking distance sensors, and rear cross-traffic alert. Additionally, there is a 4WD (4-Wheel Drive) selector and diff lock fitted in the AT35. Weekend adventures or zipping through traffic, the AT35 is bound to deliver a fresh perspective on the industry.
Good Ol’ Faithful: The Toyota Hilux
The Toyota Hilux has cemented its brand in the South African market, offering consumers the ultimate, reliable bakkie you can always count on. The range carries three variants, with engine sizes ranging from 2.7L to 4.0L. Although it is a far heavier guzzler than most, with a consumption rate of 10.7 litres per 100 km, it has several features that more than make up for it. These include stability control, cruise control, a premium audio 9-speaker system setup, and an 8-inch touchscreen to heighten the overall cabin experience.
Consistently Capable: The Ford Ranger
The Ford Ranger remains a great challenger with its four-variant selection. The models are fitted with a 2.2-litre diesel engine, along with 4x2 and 4x4 options to choose from. The Ranger also consumes a fuel economy rate of 8.0 litres per 100 km. Features like its cruise control, reverse camera, and driving mode function make it the ideal sporty vehicle for everyday use. You can depend on your Ranger to take you places, drive through congested traffic, and climb the Sani Pass with no hassle.
Worthy Competitor: The Nissan Navara
The Nissan Navara continues to dominate the bakkie market in South Africa. It offers an alternative option for consumers to consider and is more than a worthy competitor. With 10 variants available in the latest range, you can shop accordingly.
All models are fitted with a 2.5-litre engine. Manual and automated transmission gearboxes are available, as well as 4x2 and 4x4 options.

As South Africans, we have to admit that we truly love the month of December. We look forward to the end of the year—well, for the entire year. It’s a time to relax, travel, holiday, visit loved ones, and indulge.
Another thing that remains true for the South African consumer market across demographics is our pursuit of real value. It’s one of the reasons why so many of us resonate with SUVs because they meet lifestyle needs and budgets without much fuss.
To balance both off, there is no greater option than the Renault Kiger for sale ‒ a formidable competitor in the crossover SUV segment. The Kiger brings together style, versatility, practicality, and performance to give you the complete compact package. And it’s the perfect vehicle for your summer plans.
Whether exploring the Panorama route or enjoying some downtime in Clarens, the Renault Kiger is a superb contender to consider. It offers consumers contemporary design and high-end utility. But what else does it bring to the table?
Adventure Awaits
For one, the Renault Kiger range carries some impressive specifications. It has five variants, which are further divided into three trim lines, namely the Life, Zen, and Intens models. From here, you can shop between manual, automated, and CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) gearboxes, depending on your driving style. Additionally, the Kiger has an acclaimed 5.4L/100km fuel economy.
With innovative technology at the forefront of the Renault brand, you will find that the various driving modes offer practical support for every journey. Drivers can switch between Eco, Sport, and Normal modes, depending on their preference and the terrain ahead. This works hand-in-hand with the multi-sense driving mode system. For road trips, this provides you with exceptional control over your handling and responsiveness on the road, ensuring that you tackle terrain as needed.
Explore, Discover and Enjoy
Features are where car brands offer differentiated value to their customers, and the Renault Kiger is no exception. It has an incredible line-up of functional features and standout safety systems that really make it a worthwhile purchase.
For instance, the brand has an acclaimed Smart Cabin; there is an 8-inch floating touchscreen, a reverse camera, ambient lighting, premium audio, and even a wireless smartphone replication function. The Kiger also boasts a 405-litre luggage capacity, which ensures you have all the space you need for your travels. All of this encourages a comfortable and convenient road trip.
Travel Well
The French certainly have a flair for things, and this is no more evident than with every car that Renault manufactures. It is characteristically French, modern, sleek, and stylish without seeming forced on the outside.
On the interior, you will find an ergonomic design at the front and centre, with practical storage compartments throughout the cabin. Coupled with meticulously sewn trim lines, it elevates the entire vehicle in a classic manner. Altogether, the Kiger exudes a certain coolness that certainly turns heads no matter which road you travel.
The sporty front grille completes the iconic Renault Kiger look, and this cohesiveness flows inside. The bold, sculpted body is only one aspect of this crossover. With its higher ground clearance, aluminium skid plates, and well-designed spoiler, you can be sure you have the ideal SUV to travel with this December.
Renault has created a practical crossover SUV that excels at doing it all without much effort. It’s a car that goes places and affords you incredible economy, no matter the journey. Whether it’s a quick getaway or discovering new attractions around South Africa, you can do it all with the Kiger.

It's not always easy to tick off what suits you and what doesn't while looking around for second-hand cars that fit your budget, wants, and lifestyle. A hatchback can be the perfect commuter car, but it might not be the right choice for your family's needs. And even if something does give you the extra space you’re looking for, it may exceed your budget.
But there is one brand that seems to be making waves for all the right reasons: Haval. Relatively new to the South African market, this Chinese automaker is already redefining the SUV segment with its high-performing, affordable, and functional vehicles. Not only do Haval’s cars make their mark with an incredible price tag, but they are delivering truly exceptional vehicles to the market that turn heads as well.
But with so much promise, which Haval cars deliver for families? Take a look at just what’s on offer as we explore the current range available in South Africa and from Motus Select.
Haval H1
While it may be compact, the H1 has a ground clearance of more than 180mm, making this a 1.5-liter engine crossover that packs a punch. But what makes the H1 (the rebranded GWM M4) a family-friendly square-front SUV are its safety specs.
From its child safety lock to the dual airbags, rear park assist, EBD, ABS, and entertainment features, you can rest assured your precious cargo will be protected and enjoy every journey on SA’s roads.
Haval H2
Despite being discontinued, there’s still much to love about the H2, which was specifically marketed as a medium-sized family SUV.
Featuring a 1.5-litre engine that delivers 110 kW and 210 Nm of torque, dual-zone automatic car conditioning, Keyless Go, multimedia equipment, park distance control, tyre pressure monitoring system, spacious leg room, and more, it’s got everything a family could need. It’s light on fuel and its affordability makes it a true contender in the market.
Haval H6
This five-seater automatic, available in petrol or hybrid, has many of the components families love, from being able to comfortably fit three child seats in the backseat to storing all the baby gear in the boot. Boasting a sophisticated fusion of European and Asian design, it’s got all the features for an affordable price.
With heated seats, Rear-Cross Traffic Alert, Adaptive Cruise Control, a panoramic sunroof, dual, side and curtain airbags, 360-degree camera with excellent graphics ‒ this mid-size SUV is kitted out for your family’s comfort and safety.
Haval H9
Leading the Haval lineup is the 4x4 H9, which is luxury personified. Its stylish, sporty exterior (available in 5 colours) welcomes drivers and passengers to a vehicle that’s been designed with security, economy and entertainment in mind. With its strong frame, 8-speed automatic transmission, 180 kilowatts of power, 350 Nm of torque, 7 cushy synthetic leather seats, and improved fuel consumption, this car was built to transport families in all conditions.
It hasn’t skimped on luxury for a very fair market price. The steering wheel is fully adjustable to the driver’s preference, and the 8-inch easy-to-use touch screen hosts various tech functions, such as massage and heating settings, tri-zone climate control, and a reverse camera. For peace of mind, it has Roll Movement Intervention, Lane Change Assist System, Hill Descent Control, and 6 airbags to keep all occupants safe.
The Jolion
The Jolion is currently the best seller of the brand, and here’s why: affordable variety. The range carries two specific variants that are further split into five trim lines. There are also two gearbox options (manual and DCT) and a 1.5-litre petrol engine. More importantly, the Jolion boasts an acclaimed 7.7.5 L/100 km fuel consumption rate and goes from 0 to 100 km/h in approximately 9.4 seconds.
The car comes standard with ISOFIX child safety points, allowing you to quickly mount your children’s safety car seats with no hassle. There is also the 430L luggage capacity, which can be used with its 60:40 split seat functionality, increasing the boot space to a whopping 1133L.
Safety is a priority in the Jolion, starting with its dual front and curtain airbags for the driver and front passenger. Following this are the rear parking distance sensors, cruise control, driving fatigue detection, ABS, EBD, and BA. On certain models, you will find features such as downhill assist, lane departure alert, and blind spot detection especially helpful.
What is a family car without an interior that has been ergonomically designed and fitted with features made to enhance the overall comfort level? The Jolion has features such as wireless charging and rear dual USB ports, and the panoramic sunroof will elevate every drive on almost the entire range.
Because we have the latest models of second-hand cars with the lowest mileage and best quality, Motus Select has various Havals on offer. Go on, treat your family.
Fuel efficiency is a critical factor to consider when car shopping. With all of us feeling the crunch, you may be in the market for a more economical car, such as the Kia Rio for sale or the Kia Picanto.
Both are renowned for offering incredible fuel economy, which will meet your needs as a cash-strapped consumer in today’s current financial climate. But what is the better buy for your other needs, driving preferences, and lifestyle?
Below, we compare these two nifty hatchbacks to help you make a financially sensible decision for your wallet.
Cost-Effective Excellence: The Kia Rio
If you are looking for a city car to help you navigate daily traffic with just a little bit extra space for weekend adventures, then the Kia Rio is the car for you. What’s more impressive than its economical value for long-term driving is its fuel efficiency.
There are 11 variants in the newest range available in SA, with manual and automated gearboxes available in two distinct speeds: a 5-speed or a 6-speed. But what makes this a financially wise decision for most is that across the range of 1.2L, 1.4L, and 1.6L engines, the Rio consumes an average fuel rate of 6.2L/100km on many of its base models.
With over 40 high-quality used options available from us over at Motus Select, you are bound to find the ideal Kia Rio to meet your expectations quickly.
Budget Conscious Design: The Kia Picanto
A worthy contender for the Kia Rio is the much more compact Picanto. Unassuming at first, its size is no indication of its economical performance in any regard. But with a few variants available on both the new and pre-owned markets, consumers can shop according to their needs.
The range offers a 1.2L and 1.4L engine option, as well as manual and automated transmission gearboxes. With acclaimed top speeds reaching around 155 km/h, it is on the slower side of compact vehicles.
But where it excels is fuel economy. The Picanto, quick on its wheels, has an outstanding consumption rate of 5.8 litres per 100 km. For consumers looking for a car light on fuel from our extensive range for daily work or school commutes, the Picanto can deliver flawlessly. What it lacks in size, it more than makes up for with its extremely low usage, which can tackle rising prices today with ease.
When comparing two greats, such as the Kia Rio for sale or the Kia Picanto, you are spoilt for choice. More so when you consider their price points, exceptional value, and, most importantly, their incredible fuel economies.
