The chrome is gone, the “blacked out” look is in, and the South African SUV market just got a little more intimidating.

The chrome is gone, the "blacked out" look is in, and the South African SUV market just got a little more intimidating.

Following its successful local debut in 2024, Ford South Africa has expanded the Territory lineup with the Dark Edition. Positioned at the top of the range, it trades the ""luxury-lite"" chrome of the Titanium trim for a stealthier, sportier aesthetic that feels right at home on Mzansi’s roads.

Stealth Mode Engaged

The Dark Edition is all about visual attitude. If the standard Territory is the polished professional, the Dark Edition is the one that shows up to the meeting in a black tailored suit and sunglasses.

1. Ebony Black Grille: The signature hexagonal grille loses its chrome scales in flavour of a satin black finish.

2. Blacked-Out Accents: High-gloss black finish is applied to the roof rails, window trimmings, mirror caps, and the lower bumper guards.

3. 19-inch Ebony Alloys: Gone are the silver-and-black rims, replaced by 19-inch alloy wheels finished entirely in Ebony Black.

4. Distinctive Badging: The ""Territory"" lettering on the tailgate is also finished in black, giving it a custom-shop look straight from the factory.

Dark with a Pop of Orange

Inside, the ""Dark"" theme continues, but Ford has added some clever contrast to keep it from feeling like a cave. The interior features Charcoal Black headliners and pillars, creating a cocoon-like feel. To break up the monochrome, the perforated leather seats and instrument panel are finished with Cyber Orange stitching a nod to the rugged ""Wildtrak"" heritage found in the Ranger and Everest.

Ford Territory Blacked Out Edition Front Interior

Key Specs:

• Dual 12.3-inch Screens: A seamless digital experience combining the instrument cluster and the infotainment system.

• 360-Degree Camera: Exclusive to the Dark Edition, this provides a bird’s-eye view, making parking this mid-sized SUV in tight Cape Town or Joburg bays a breeze.

• Panoramic Moonroof: To let some light back into that dark interior.

The Reliable 1.8L EcoBoost

Under the hood, the Dark Edition retains the tried-and-tested powertrain found across the range. It’s a 1.8-litre four-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine that strikes a solid balance between urban commuting and open-road cruising.

Safety First

Being the flagship model, the Dark Edition comes standard with Ford’s full suite of driver-assist technologies:

• Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop & Go.

• Blind Spot Information System (BLIS) with Cross-Traffic Alert

• Lane Keep Assist and Lane Departure Warning.

• Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking.

Pricing and Peace of Mind

As of 2026, the Ford Territory Dark Edition is priced competitively within the premium mid-size SUV segment.

The ""Ford Family Promise"" includes:

• 4-year / 120,000 km Warranty

• 6-year / 90,000 km Service Plan

• 5-year / Unlimited km Corrosion Warranty

Ford Territory Black Edition Side View

If you love the space and practicality of the Territory which offers a massive 448-litre boot but found the standard model a bit too "traditional," the Dark Edition is the answer. It bridges the gap between a family hauler and a style statement.

From the Wild West to the Wild Coast: A History of the Mustang in South Africa

From the Wild West to the Wild Coast: A History of the Mustang in South Africa

The Ford Mustang is more than just a car, it’s a cultural phenomenon. While it was born on the streets of Dearborn, Michigan, in 1964, its soul found a second home right here in Mzansi. For decades, South Africans admired the "Pony Car" from afar, but the local story is far deeper than just the modern models we see today. Let’s take a gallop through the history of the Mustang in South Africa.

Classic Ford Mustang in South Africa

The 1960s: A Rare Breed

When Lee Iacocca unveiled the Mustang at the 1964 New York World’s Fair, the world went mad. South Africa wasn't left behind, in 1965, Ford South Africa showcased the all-new Mustang during a national roadshow. While Ford didn't mass-produce them locally back then, they were available as "luxury imports." If you had the import tax and a taste for V8 power, you could secure a Poppy Red Fastback or a convertible. They were rare, they were left-hand drive, and they were the ultimate status symbol on the newly built Kyalami circuit.

1960s Ford Mustang Fastback South Africa

The "Perana" Influence (The 1970s & 80s)

Because the Mustang wasn't officially mass-sold here for decades, South Africans did what they do best, they innovated. Local legend Basil Green created the Capri Perana V8, using the Mustang's 5.0L Windsor V8 engine. Later, in the 1980s, Ford SA gave us the Sierra XR8, affectionately known as "The Animal." It featured the same 5.0L V8 found in the Mustang of that era. For a long time, these locally bred monsters were the closest things we had to a factory Mustang on our showroom floors.

Ford Capri Perana V8 South Africa

The 2015 Revolution: The Pony Finally Arrives

After 50 years of waiting, the dream finally came true. As part of Ford’s "One Ford" global strategy, the sixth generation (S550) Mustang was produced in right-hand drive (RHD) for the first time. Fast forward to today, and the legend is only getting louder. The seventh generation (S650) Mustang has officially touched down on South African soil, bringing with it a digital-forward cockpit and the most powerful naturally aspirated Coyote V8 yet. The real talk of the town? The Mustang Dark Horse. With its sinister styling and track focused suspension, it’s a clear message that while the world moves toward electrification, the Mustang's V8 roar isn't going anywhere without a fight.

Ford Mustang Dark Horse South Africa

Why South Africa Loves the Mustang?

In a country that loves the open road and the sound of a "braai-side" V8, the Mustang fits our DNA perfectly. It represents freedom, a bit of rebellion, and a lot of noise exactly how we like it.

From Overalls to the Open Road: Celebrating Tony Govender’s 48-Year Legacy at CMH Ford Durban

From Overalls to the Open Road: Celebrating Tony Govender’s 48-Year Legacy at CMH Ford Durban

In a world where careers often change as quickly as technology, Tony Govender stands as a rare symbol of loyalty, passion, and perseverance. After an incredible 48 years as a mechanic at CMH Ford Durban, Tony is finally hanging up his overalls — but not his love for the open road.

This is the story of a man who didn’t just repair cars; he built a legacy that spans generations.

A Family Under the Hood

For the Govender family, the love for engines runs deep. Tony, a 65-year-old grandfather from Verulam, inherited his passion from his father, Harry. His journey began at just 10 years old, helping his uncle tinker with cars in Overport.

By 17, ambition drove him to walk to the Ford dealership on Umgeni Road and ask for a job. Despite his youth, the supervisor saw something special and gave him a chance — a decision that would shape nearly five decades of excellence.

Tony’s influence didn’t stop at the workshop. His younger brothers learned the trade under his guidance, and today his daughters, Kailene and Celeste, continue the family tradition with pride. Even his grandson, Kyan, shows signs of inheriting the gift — often identifying cars simply by the sound of their engines.

Adapting to a Changing World

Nearly five decades in the automotive industry means Tony has witnessed a transformation like no other. He began in an era of pure mechanics — when diagnosing a problem was as simple as listening to a car over the phone.

Today, the industry is dominated by digital diagnostics and complex software. While many might have resisted the change, Tony embraced it wholeheartedly.

“You have to adapt or you’ll be left behind,” he says with a smile. “I was lucky — I’ve always loved cars, so learning the new trades was never difficult.”

The Secret to a 48-Year Career

What kept Tony at the same workbench for almost half a century? It wasn’t just the paycheck — it was the craft.

A true enthusiast, Tony spent his spare time modifying Ford Escorts and Cortinas, including a beloved Ford RS 2000 that he eventually traded for a family car. His advice for the next generation is simple yet profound:

“You cannot be lazy in this field. The work is hard but rewarding — it all depends on your dedication.”

The Next Great Adventure

Last Friday marked the end of an era for Tony, but his retirement plans are as Ford-focused as his career. He and his wife, Vanessa, are preparing to hit the road in his Ford Ranger Wildtrak, exploring the beauty of South Africa.

With his expert touch ensuring the vehicle is in tip-top shape, Tony is ready for a well-deserved, carefree journey.

After 48 years under the hood, Tony’s next chapter begins — not in the workshop, but on the open road.

Congratulations, Tony

Your story is an inspiration to us all. Here’s to many more miles of adventure ahead.

Just like Tony, CMH Ford Durban believes in passion, loyalty, and innovation. Visit us today and experience the same commitment Tony lived for 48 years.

Unleash the Primal Roar: The 2025 Mustang Dark Horse Thunders into South Africa!

South Africa, prepare to feel the earth tremble. The legend returns — bolder, more visceral, and undeniably darker than ever before. Ford is officially unleashing the 2025 Mustang Dark Horse on Mzansi’s roads, and this isn’t just another pony; it’s a magnificent, untamed beast ready to redefine performance.

For decades, the Mustang has been a symbol of freedom, power, and unapologetic American muscle. The Dark Horse elevates this legacy to a new, thrilling apex. This isn’t just a trim level; it’s a meticulously crafted, track-focused machine designed for those who demand more than just a ride — they demand an experience.

A Deeper Dive into Darkness

What makes the Dark Horse so special? It’s a symphony of power, precision, and aggressive styling. Under the sculpted bonnet lies a specially modified 5.0-litre Coyote V8 engine, delivering an exhilarating surge of horsepower that will pin you to your seat.

This isn’t just about raw power, though. Ford Performance engineers have imbued the Dark Horse with a level of handling and responsiveness that makes every twist and turn of a mountain pass or every straight on a track an absolute joy. For more, visit CMH Ford Durban.

Imagine carving through Franschhoek Pass, the roar of that V8 echoing off the mountainsides, the car responding to your every input with telepathic precision. Or picture yourself dominating a track day at Kyalami, feeling the immense grip and stopping power as you push the limits. The Dark Horse is engineered for these moments.

Key Differences That Set the Dark Horse Apart

  • Enhanced 5.0L V8 engine
  • Track-focused suspension
  • Brembo brakes
  • Unique exterior styling with innovative aerodynamics and distinctive badging
  • Performance interior with sport seats, Dark Horse-specific trim, and driver-focused technology

More Than Just a Car, It’s a Statement

The 2025 Mustang Dark Horse isn’t just about blistering lap times — it’s about making a statement. It’s for the individual who appreciates the finer points of performance engineering, craves the thrill of the open road, and isn’t afraid to stand out from the crowd.

Its menacing good looks, from the darkened grille to the unique wheels, are a clear testament to its aggressive intent.

South Africa, Get Ready to Saddle Up

The arrival of the Dark Horse in South Africa is a momentous occasion for petrolheads and Mustang enthusiasts alike. It’s an opportunity to own a piece of automotive history — a limited-edition revolution that promises a truly unique driving experience.

Visit CMH Kempster Ford Durban today and experience the new Dark Horse for yourself. This is more than a test drive — it’s the beginning of a whole new way to move.

The Ford Ranger: A Proud Legacy in South Africa

By

The Ford Ranger: A Proud Legacy in South Africa

Tracing the Journey of a Pickup Icon from Its Early Days to Modern Prowess

The Ford Ranger has become a household name in South Africa, renowned for its rugged reliability, versatility, and homegrown innovation. Its journey in the South African automotive landscape is a testament to both its enduring popularity and the significant role local manufacturing and engineering have played in shaping its identity. Let's take a drive down memory lane and explore the rich history of the Ford Ranger in South Africa.

The Early Days of the Ford Ranger in SA

The Ford Ranger story in South Africa began in the late 1990s, although Ford's presence in the country stretches back much further. Initially, Ford’s bakkie offerings were built on the Mazda B-series platform through a joint venture with Mazda. The first Ford Ranger debuted in 1998, assembled at the Silverton Assembly Plant in Pretoria. This move marked a new era, as the Ranger would soon evolve into a uniquely South African success story. Visit CMH Ford Durban to feel the Ford Ranger history.

South Africa Becomes a Global Production Hub

In 2011, Ford made a game-changing decision: South Africa would become a global hub for the production of the next-generation Ranger. With a multi-billion-rand investment, Ford upgraded its Silverton plant and the Struandale Engine Plant in Port Elizabeth. This allowed for large-scale production not just for the domestic market but also for export to more than 100 markets worldwide, including Europe, Australia, and the Middle East.

This global export strategy cemented the Ranger’s status as one of South Africa’s top automotive exports and brought significant economic benefits, such as job creation, skills development, and local supplier growth.

Evolution of a South African Favourite

Over the years, the Ford Ranger has undergone multiple transformations to meet the changing needs of South African drivers. From the early models that prioritised affordability and functionality, to recent generations featuring advanced technology, improved safety features, and powerful engines, the Ranger has consistently raised the bar.

The introduction of the Ford Ranger Raptor in 2019 brought high-performance engineering to the bakkie segment, earning praise for its off-road prowess and sporty styling. The Ranger has also adapted to South Africa’s diverse terrain, offering models suited for both urban commuting and rugged adventures in the bush. For more info, visit CMH Ford Durban.

A Symbol of Strength, Innovation, and Community

The Ford Ranger is more than just a vehicle — it’s a symbol of resilience and adventure. It has become a favourite among farmers, business owners, outdoor enthusiasts, and families alike. Its versatility, serving as both a workhorse and a lifestyle vehicle, has resonated deeply with the local market.

Ford’s continued commitment to local communities is evident through various social responsibility initiatives, such as skills training, environmental programs, and disaster relief efforts, further strengthening the bond between the Ranger brand and South Africans.

The Future of the Ford Ranger in South Africa

As Ford continues to invest in new technology, electrification, and smarter manufacturing, the Ranger’s future in South Africa looks brighter than ever. The latest models feature cutting-edge driver assistance systems, connectivity options, and eco-friendly powertrains designed to meet the demands of a rapidly evolving world.

With its rich history and ongoing innovation, the Ford Ranger remains a proud symbol of South African automotive excellence — a vehicle built by South Africans, for South Africans, and the world.

A Legacy That Will Continue for Generations

From its humble beginnings to its status as an export powerhouse and cultural icon, the Ford Ranger’s journey in South Africa is a story of local ingenuity, resilience, and pride. As the bakkie continues to evolve, one thing remains certain: the Ford Ranger will keep blazing new trails on South African roads for generations to come.

The Dark Edition is available in four iconic colours: Crystal Pearl White, Lustrous Grey, Panther Black, and Ruby Red. For more info, visit CMH Ford Durban.

Stepping into the cabin, the Territory Dark Edition’s charcoal-black headliner and pillars are set against black leather perforated seats, door trims, and instrument panel inserts with Cyber Orange stitching. This contemporary look and feel reinforce the Territory’s modern, family-oriented character and create visual interest.

Under the bonnet of the Territory Dark Edition is the same 1.8-litre four-cylinder turbocharged EcoBoost petrol engine that is available in the rest of the Territory line-up. Already renowned for delivering a superb blend of performance and efficiency, it produces 138 kW of power matched to 318 Nm of torque and is equipped with Auto Start-Stop to further reduce fuel consumption.

Bold Looks, Dark Intentions

From the moment the Dark Horse rolls into view, its presence is undeniable. The gloss black grille, snarling LED tri-bar headlights, and sculpted hood give it a fighter-jet attitude. But it’s the Blue Ember finish, exclusive to this model, that truly sets it apart.

It’s the kind of colour that doesn’t just catch light — it plays with it. Whether cruising along the Durban beachfront or pulling into a nighttime car meet, you’ll leave people asking: “What colour is that?”

Built for the Brave

Beneath the bonnet lies the heart of a thoroughbred: a 5.0L Coyote V8, tuned to push out a thunderous 334 kW and 540 Nm. Paired with a silky 10-speed automatic transmission, this Mustang delivers spine-tingling acceleration and a symphony of sound from the quad-tip active exhaust.

Want to turn the volume up from across the parking lot? Just hit the remote rev button on your key fob — yes, that’s a thing!

But the Dark Horse isn’t just about straight-line power. Thanks to MagneRide adaptive suspension, a Torsen limited-slip differential, and massive Brembo brakes, this beast grips, pivots, and launches with precision. Whether you’re hitting the twisties or the track, you’re in command of a machine bred for performance.

And the best part? You can witness this modern legend at CMH Kempster Ford Durban, where the team will gladly walk you through every ferocious detail.

Interior That Matches the Muscle

Inside, it’s all about focus and flair. The Dark Horse cockpit features race-inspired touches like blue-accented Recaro seats, a suede-wrapped flat-bottom steering wheel, and contrast stitching in indigo that echoes the car’s shimmering exterior.

The fully digital 12.4-inch instrument cluster and 13.2-inch SYNC 4 touchscreen put everything at your fingertips, from drive mode adjustments to wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

Each Dark Horse is uniquely numbered, with a chassis badge reminding you this isn’t just a car — it’s a collector’s dream.

A NEW CHAPTER OF AMERICAN MUSCLE

By

The 7th generation of the Ford Mustang carries a legacy of power, performance & passion through its iconic 5.0-litre V8 engine. It truly does add a new exciting chapter to this legendary nameplate. It doesn’t just meet expectations but rather blows it to smithereens.

The first thing we noticed here at CMH Ford Durban was the aggressive styling of the All-New Mustang. It holds true to its heritage with its unmistakable fastback silhouette whilst incorporating modern aerodynamic enhancements. The wide stance & new LED lighting elements amplify its presence on the road. Inside the cabin, you are greeted by a fighter-jet-inspired digital cockpit that is fully customizable to suit the driver’s needs.

At CMH Ford Umgeni, we believe that the Mustang instills a feeling of freedom & confidence. When the driver takes control of how the car behaves, they can quickly adjust steering effort, engine response, transmission, and electronic stability control settings through six available Drive Modes to create the perfect Mustang at any time.

A segment-first electronic drift brake takes new technology to the racetrack, unlocking the rear-wheel drive drifting capability of Mustang with the visual appeal and functionality of a traditional, mechanical hand brake. The Performance Electronic Parking Brake comes standard with the Performance Pack, engineered for novice drivers to learn and improve their drift skills while also providing expert drivers with a competition-ready system.

The Dark Horse

The Dark Horse is the first new Mustang performance series to be launched in more than two decades and expands the seventh-generation Mustang line-up with an even more thrilling and driver-focused version of one of the world’s most iconic cars. Powered by a unique 5.0-litre Coyote V8 engine, specially modified with piston connecting rods first introduced in the Mustang Shelby GT500, plus dual throttle-body intake designed to produce 334kW of power and 540Nm of torque.

The comprehensive list of driver-assist technologies includes:

  • Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop-and-Go
  • Lane Centering Assist
  • Evasive Steer Assist
  • Pre-Collision Assist with Pedestrian Detection
  • Automatic Emergency Braking
  • Reverse Brake Assist
  • Speed Sign Recognition
  • Active Pothole Mitigation (included with the MagneRide active suspension)

As the halo model in the Mustang line-up, the Dark Horse will be a more exclusive offering for our enthusiast customers in South Africa.

The Ford Mustang has always been more than just a car—it’s an icon, designed for those who crave power, style, and innovation in equal measure. Whether you are cornering winding roads with precision, dominating the drag strip, or cruising down the coastline, the Ford Mustang 5.0 V8 is a statement of freedom, performance, & pure driving pleasure.

The legend lives on – are you bold enough to command it?
