In this week's episode of the Carscoza news, David Taylor talks about Volkswagen's new unibody double-cab bakkie which is due for reveal in 2027. The bigger news is that this Brazilian-developed vehicle will very likely be assembled and sold in SA within the next few years. Next up, new-energy brand iCaur makes its debut in May 2026 and one of the first products is the 03T - a premium Jimny-sized urban runabout. Dave shares pricing and specification details. Finally, there's the new all-electric AMG hypercar which has upset everyone on the Internet. Dave can appreciate the progress but what is going on with that styling? https://dealercon.cars.co.za/ https://www.cars.co.za/motoring-news/new-vw-tukan-small-bakkie-fresh-teaser-images-released/345275/ https://www.cars.co.za/motoring-news/icaur-03t-2026-price-specs/345371/ 00:00 - Intro: Episode Preview & What's Coming Up 00:25 - Dealercon 2026 00:50 - Volkswagen Tukan: A New Bakkie for South Africa? 02:45 - iCar 03T & V23: Specs, Battery Range & SA Pricing 04:20 - Mercedes-AMG EV Hypercar: 2000Nm of Electric Controversy 06:50 - Outro: Let Us Know Your Thoughts & Download the App Visit Cars.co.za at: https://www.cars.co.za Sell your car on Cars.co.za: https://www.cars.co.za/sell-car/ Follow Cars.co.za on the socials: https://www.x.com/CarsSouthAfrica https://www.facebook.com/CarsSA https://www.instagram.com/CarsSouthAfrica https://www.x.com/@carssouthafrica Download the Cars.co.za App here: Apple https://apps.apple.com/za/app/cars-co-za/id626789511 Android https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mushroomcloud.cars&hl=en_ZA&gl=US Huawei App Gallery https://appgallery.huawei.com/#/app/C100880073

after seeing the new Ferrari electric, that Amg electric does not look that bad after all
If Tucan will look like that, then it will be a seller over amarok. That looks good
I think the problem with an electric AMG is that the Chinese can now build electric cars with the same power for less. And I think the electric Porche didn't do that well.
That VW bakkie is quite the looker... hopefully, it'll look as good or better when it's finally unveiled here.
05:48The taillights of the AMG EV remind me of the Datsun SSS
“Oh this thing is horrendous” Correct.
Develop away, make it electric. I accept that. Putting in speakerS and pretend shifts...you lost me. If I could afford something that preposterous I would simply not buy it because of that. It's fake. It's almost as if they are embarrassed that the created it and now want to make it sound like a V8. Silly
I hope VW does a single-cab.
Thanks very to the VWs for the new beautiful bakkie
blah blah blah. fast car... new bakkie. electric this... sustainable that.... Okay bye🤪 I can't wait for the 'okay bye' part... for the head turn.... It's the best!!! 😄😄😄😄 Amazing episode as always. David makes it look (and sound) so easy. Well done, David!! okay bye🤣
If you think AMG has lost its mind, just wait for next week (Ferrari)
As someone who loves AMG's, the new AMG GT is big no to me. The only difference between electric cars are the gimmicks. To be be able to charge in 10 min is if the infrastructure exists which is not available anywhere yet unless you are going to charge it at a mine with an industrial level of energy output.
please make a video on the new electric polo gti
If the VW bakkie looks like your renders, then I am hopeful.
Will the SA VW factory still be running in 2029?
The Xiaomi su7 ultra outperforms the Merc and cost half the price. There is a video on youtube showing its crazy performance.
Mxm VW needs to bring the Severio thats in Brazil
I wish it was this simple: taker the Vivo, stretch the wheelbase for a bakkie, for a van, take said stretched Vivo and add a higher roof, offer in auto and manual....why? There is something called a budget after all.
VWSA should have brought the Saveiro to SA long ago......that bakkie would have been dominating next to the Polo.......
That iCaur 03T looks a lot like a Land Rover Difender, plus the torque at 380 NM is a bit low for such a big car🫤...500+ would make a lot of sense. No explanation needed, that Merc is ugly 😵💫
