Borgward Isabella Concept, 2017. For the second time in the history of the brand Borgward is again facing bankruptcy. The German brand had first gone out of business in 1961 but was resurrected with Chinese backing in 2014. Their model range included 4 combustion engined SUVs and 1 all-electric model. Sales peaked in 2019 but the European launch of the brand failed and plans for a factory in the brand’s historic home town of Bremen were abandoned. The Isabella concept never made it beyond prototype stage and  Borgward was declared bankrupt by the First Intermediate People’s Court of Beijing last Wednesday.

Jeep’s Electric Evolution: Navigating Towards a Revitalized Future
Tumblr media
Jeep finds itself at a crossroads, acknowledging past missteps and embracing a new strategy under the leadership of Antonio Filosa, its newly appointed global CEO.
Recognizing its underperformance relative to its potential, Jeep is embarking on a transformation journey, marked by a shift towards electric vehicles and a fresh approach to branding. Filosa revealed that the brand is veering away from the idea of Wagoneer as a sub-brand, a move that was met with criticism and confusion among consumers. Instead, all models, including Wagoneers and Grand Wagoneers, will now be consolidated under the Jeep umbrella — a decision aimed at streamlining the brand’s identity and clarifying its market positioning.
Central to Jeep’s revitalization plan are its forays into the electric vehicle market. The introduction of successful plug-in hybrids and the eagerly anticipated debut of the Jeep Avenger, a compact electric SUV, in Europe signify the brand’s commitment to sustainable mobility. In North America, the upcoming release of the Wagoneer S, a premium midsize electric SUV, and the potential addition of the electric off-road vehicle, the Recon, underscore Jeep’s push towards electrification.
Tumblr media
Filosa emphasized that the Wagoneer S and Recon models are nearing production readiness, boasting innovative design elements and cutting-edge performance features. Notably, the Wagoneer S, equipped with a dual-motor setup delivering 600 horsepower, is poised to be the fastest Jeep yet, rivaling the popular Tesla Model Y. Additionally, subtle yet significant changes, such as the transition from “Wagoneer” to “Jeep” badging, signify the brand’s unified approach moving forward.
Furthermore, Jeep aims to streamline its lineup and enhance consumer experience by simplifying configurations and offering electrified options across its range by 2025. Building on the success of its plug-in hybrids, including the Wrangler 4xe and Grand Cherokee PHEV, Jeep anticipates a significant market share increase, driven by projected sales growth and expanded offerings.
Looking ahead, Jeep envisions a diversified portfolio of SUVs catering to a broader range of segments, with plans to introduce new models and explore innovative technologies such as range-extenders. While specifics regarding potential range-extenders remain unconfirmed, Filosa’s track record of success and extensive experience within the automotive industry instill confidence in Jeep’s future direction.
In summary, Jeep’s strategic realignment under Filosa’s leadership signals a decisive shift towards electrification, streamlined branding, and product diversification — a promising trajectory aimed at reclaiming its position as a leader in the automotive landscape.

Best Used Cars, SUVs and Trucks for Less Than $5,000
A recent Consumer Reports analysis of older used cars states, “There’s no reason for any car buyer to have to settle for an unreliable or dangerous vehicle just because their budget is tight. Many models that were smart choices when they were new still have those same good qualities years later as older, much less expensive used cars.” In fact, CR analysts find that even models listed used for…

Engine manufacturer Cummins Inc. has agreed to pay a $1.675 billion penalty for allegedly installing "defeat devices" on approximately 1 million pickup trucks to cheat emissions tests. It's the largest civil fine ever levied under the Clean Air Act, the Justice Department said Friday. 
Defeat devices are designed to "bypass, defeat, or render inoperative emissions controls such as emission sensors and onboard computers," the department said.
Cummins is accused of installing defeat devices or similar equipment on hundreds of thousands of RAM pickup trucks between 2013 and 2023, the department said.

Chinese Automakers Taking SA (And The World) By Storm
While the South African automotive market sees the introduction of new models from Chinese automakers almost monthly, there are hundreds of other brands on offer from the Far East nation. Here are four taking the world by storm.
Tumblr media
MG
If it sounds like that familiar name and badge, it is! While officially of British origin, MG has become one of the most globally recognized car brands, predominantly under SAIC ownership since 2006. In 2022, it emerged as the most popular “domestic” brand beyond China’s borders. Its potential lies in its capacity to manufacture appealing and highly competitive electric vehicles suitable for both developed and developing economies. Notably, in the first half of 2023, MG secured its position as the fourth best-selling Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) brand in Europe, surpassing established mainstream competitors like Renault, Peugeot, and Hyundai.
With nearly a century of history in the automotive industry, MG’s recent success can be attributed to SAIC’s stewardship. In fact, MG’s sales have skyrocketed from a modest 3,500 units in 2013 to approximately 450,000 units just last year.
The MG story from this millennium is potentially one of the most calculated, utilising a familiar European name to gain market share in its continent of origin while all production and profits are handled by SAIC. Like many in this list, it is unlikely the formerly British automaker will arrive in South Africa any time soon, it changing to an electric vehicle-only brand by 2027. For now, their lineup includes EV, PHEV and ICE models.

BYD
Ceasing production of internal combustion-powered vehicles last year, BYD is the only automaker on this list that has recently expanded into South Africa’s ranks. Offering the Atto 3 for upwards of R768 000, the brand serves as one of the most affordable entries into the world of electrification. In Europe, it remains relatively modest, but the company has been making significant strides in other global markets. It has established itself as one of the world’s most rapidly expanding automotive brands, primarily due to its diverse lineup of plug-in hybrid and fully electric vehicles.
Did you know: BYD stands for ‘Build Your Dreams’, and was founded in 1995 to make electric batteries. Since then, it has merged into the gap of creating EVs through its subsidiary BYD Auto which we have here.
BYD occupies a unique niche, straddling the line between the mainstream and premium segments. This positioning enables it to penetrate other markets like Latin America, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia, where not everyone can afford high-end electrified vehicles. Impressively, BYD has introduced six production models since January 2022. More impressively, the automaker also boasts an all-electric supercar that has some impressive tech and ludicrous performance.
Lynk & Co (Geely Group)
Geely? Yes, that Geely. They existed in South Africa for a brief moment before exiting, once more. Despite this, the massive conglomerate owns Geely Auto, Geometry, Lynk & Co, Livan, Proton Cars, Volvo Cars, Polestar, Zeekr, Lotus Cars, Lotus Technology, Smart, London Electric Vehicle Company and Radar Auto to name most. While some of these are joint ventures, this is nonetheless an impressive portfolio.
Their subsidiary Lynk & Co boasts a Chinese-Swedish heritage. Founded in Gothenburg, Sweden, in 2016, the focus of the brand is on internet connectivity and innovative purchasing platforms and targets a young professional demographic. This means that their lineup of EVs and PHEVs is a fairly common sight in Europe. There are plans to expand into the US, too. While also moving towards an electrified future, the brand could potentially arrive in South Africa. With a dealer network of Proton and Volvo already existent in the country, this might offer the next viable entry point for a Chinese automaker.
NIO
Electric only! With an impressive and extensive product lineup, NIO is often referred to as the “Chinese Tesla” and has emerged as one of the Asian nation’s prominent players.
Find a quality used car at the best price - shop used cars for sale in Cape Town.
NIO’s potential strength lies in its technological prowess, particularly in battery performance and software capabilities, as well as its innovative battery replacement program. However, as a premium brand, it has yet to establish a global presence and requires additional time and awareness to secure a substantial foothold in the European market. That said, it is unlikely we will see the automaker in South Africa anytime soon.
Which Chinese automaker would you be most excited to see in Mzansi or consider buying used from?
