Yochanaan Coetzee - The Namibia Tourism Expo and Motor Show has officially kicked off and though the halls are buzzing with exciting attendees enjoying an incredible variety of food, drink and the latest in hospitality offerings, for motorheads, the real action is outside.

This year’s Namibia Tourism Expo and Motor Show will surely top any petrol head’s motoring hit list.

Between the 11 motor dealers exhibiting their wheeled wares at the Show Grounds, there are some definite standout moments, like when the good folk at Volvo pulled the covers off two of their most anticipated cars to date, the exhilarating XC40 and the astonishing XC60.

Not to be outdone, M+Z Motors also went to great lengths to ship in an X-Class, much to the delight of the attendees, who couldn’t get enough of what is definitely the bakkie everyone, literally everyone, around the world has been waiting for.

Though we’re not allowed to drive it before the official launch takes place in a few weeks, we did have a feel of the throne and it’s definitely an interesting place to be, thanks to the juxtaposition of the bakkie basicness and Merc’s prodigious plushness.

Swift sales

Besides bling bakkies like the X-Class and the beautiful new Toyota Hilux Dakar, there’s tons of variety to suit every budget or begeerte. From sexy little compacts, to advanced commercial vehicles from MAN and Iveco, or motorised bicycles, the Namibia Tourism Expo and the Motor Show truly caters for all.

Another highlight was the launch of the new Suzuki Swift, which is a spunky little thing, with a power to weight ratio, that few others on the market could ever match.

Beyond that, attendees get to see the very latest in motoring and outdooring accessories from a variety of fitment centres. They also get to enter exciting competitions like the Win-a-Car competition or our other activations at the Tourismus Stand, where guests can see our Tourismus Bakkie up close, and the Land Rover Owners Club of Namibia who may just have a iconic old wheeler up for grabs.

With all this and epic deals courtesy of Wesbank and Old Mutual Short Term Insurance, the Namibia Tourism Expo and Motor Show is a must for anybody with a passion for cars and even those looking to capitalise on the red hot deals on offer.

See you at the expo!
