Ford Takes Two Class Victories on Inaugural WesBank Fuel Economy Tour · Ford Ranger 2.0 Single Turbo XLT Double Cab, with advanced 10-speed automatic, claims victory in highly competitive pickup segment with overall consumption of 6.81 l/100km · Ford Fiesta 1.0 EcoBoost wins its class on 5.21 l/100km · Runner-up position for Ford Kuga 1.5 TDCi in turbodiesel compact SUV class after recording impressive 5.38 l/100km · WesBank Fuel Economy Tour route covered 2435km over five days, travelling from Johannesburg through Durban, East London, Port Elizabeth and George to Cape Town Ford lives up to 'Go Further' brand promise and was translated into tangible results last week after the Ford Ranger and Ford Fiesta traveled further on less fuel and emerged as the most fuel-efficient vehicles in their respective segments during the inaugural WesBank Fuel Economy Tour in partnership with FNB. The Ford Kuga was a close second in the turbo diesel compact SUV segment. The event featured 40 entries from 12 manufacturers across various classes, which ensured that the fuel economy of direct competitors was tested in real-world driving conditions. The Ford Ranger, powered by the all-new 2.0 Single Turbo engine matched to the advanced, 10-speed automatic transmission, proved its status as the most economical pickup in its segment over widely varied and challenging terrain all driven at normal everyday speeds. The Ranger recorded an exceptional average fuel consumption of 6.8179 l/100km. "The performance of the New Ranger was simply remarkable," Colin Mileman said at the prize-giving ceremony in Cape Town. "The all-new 2.0 Single Turbo is an outstanding engine, giving us all the power and torque we needed to conquer the steep uphill’s, while just sipping fuel." "The results from the WesBank Fuel Economy Tour provide invaluable fuel consumption data for consumers to compare vehicles in the respective segments. It also demonstrates the economy that can be achieved when the vehicles are driven in the most fuel-efficient manner," Mileman added. In the compact car segment, the 1.0 EcoBoost engine of the Ford Fiesta proved why it is a multiple International Engine of the Year winner. The Ford Fiesta competed in the class for turbocharged petrol engines below 1100cc and took the class win with an average consumption of just 5.21 l/100km. "I was mightily impressed by the Ford Fiesta 1.0 EcoBoost's thrifty drinking habits over the past week's sojourn, allowing us to win our class and finish ninth overall out of 40 participants in the maiden WesBank Fuel Economy Tour," Matebese said. "This event is a great marketing tool for manufacturers." In the rapidly-growing compact sport utility vehicle (SUV) segment, the Ford Kuga 1.5 TDCi recorded an impressive average consumption of 5.38 l/100km. "I knew the Kuga 1.5 TDCi was good, but to achieve that fuel economy on the challenging roads we drove, while having to maintain the realistic speeds and stay within the allocated times for each section, was amazing," Adams stated.

The Ford Ranger is the perfect vehicle to fit any lifestyle The Ford Ranger is not only a phenomenal workhorse but it has also become a lifestyle vehicle of choice for families too. With boosted levels of comfort, refinement, safety, technology and outright performance, Ranger’s move to the mainstream has helped ignite our sense for adventure with a versatile vehicle primed for action. Here are five ways the Ranger makes transitioning from a family sedan to a bakkie that much smoother It’s safe The Ford Ranger comes pre-loaded with an exceptional safety package that combines traditional safety features with innovative, state-of-the-art driver assist technologies on the range-topping Wildtrak derivatives. The Ford Ranger also comes with up to seven airbags on the Double Cab XLT and Wildtrak models, along with a reinforced safety cell to ensure every journey is a safe one. Ranger’s elevated driving position and adjustable seats also give drivers a better view of the road ahead than they may otherwise get when driving a family car.   It’s comfortable Inside the Ford Ranger, the priority is space, comfort and functionality. With plenty of head and leg room in the back, the Ranger can comfortably fit a family of five for a weekend getaway. The Ford Ranger not only feels like a luxury vehicle, but it drives like one too. Thanks to a high-strength steel chassis and an upgraded suspension system, the Ranger’s smooth and quiet on-road manners make the long drive a pleasant experience.   It’s easy to drive People fall in love with the Ranger because it is so easy to drive. The electric power-assisted steering is nicely weighted, and the commanding driving position guarantees that the view ahead is clear and uncluttered. At over five metres long and almost two metres wide, you may think the Ranger would be difficult to thread into a parking space, but its integrated rear-view camera displays virtual lines to help you park into the smallest of spaces. The camera activates automatically when you select reverse gear.   It goes everywhere With an electronic shift-on-the-fly four-wheel-drive system, impressive front and rear clearance angles and an electronic diff lock, Ranger’s go-anywhere ability is truly exceptional. With Hill Launch Assist that ensures smooth pull-offs on even the steepest gradients, and an impressive wading depth of 800mm, means there’s very little that stands between you and your destination. The Ford Ranger will not only get you to where you want to go, but it’ll help carry your gear there too. The load compartment can take up to 1.2 tons of gear and equipment, while Ranger’s maximum towing capacity of up to 3.5 tons means you can pack everything you need for the long haul. It’s smart Range-topping Ranger models come standard with the kind of technology you’ll find in luxury cars. Adaptive Cruise Control monitors the road and traffic ahead and adjusts your cruising speed accordingly. Built-in Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity guarantees that you have access to your favourite smartphone apps too, whether it’s listening to music, podcasts or audiobooks, or using other innovative features such as Waze and Google Maps.   At CMH Kempster Ford Randburg we care about you and your family.

CMH Kempster Ford Pretoria is proud to have a diverse family in all departments and employment levels. In respect of our National holiday, Steyn’s Heritage Day we celebrated our dealership as well as our nation’s diversity. We dressed up to pay tribute to our complemented differences in language, colour and purpose. Like our vehicle range we have young and old, different colours and unique in our own way. Like mechanical work, we fit in to make our fabulous family!

CMH Kempster Ford Pretoria also has a history - Once commonly known as Steyn’s Auto. Due to our unconventional family we do things to accommodate the diversity. Just last week we went on to collaborate with comedy artists to promote our brand and create awareness to bridge the gap in the demographical fallacy as well as the misconception of our South African manufactured, American vehicles being too pricey to afford.

As much as we have brand new and demo model Ford vehicles for sale, we like to allow our loyal customers the opportunity view or purchase a variety of vehicles from our pre-loved Pre-Owned section. At CMH Kempster Ford Pretoria we ensure that we have something for everyone, just like our multilingual family who are always there to assist customers in their preferred language just to make you feel welcome and at home.

Drive the Power

If you are a 4x4 enthusiast no one will know the excitement you feel when hearing the words ‘Ford Raptor”. At CMH Ford Hatfield, we feel exactly the same way – The most anticipated arrival of this BEAST was a little over two months ago. The interesting thing about its arrival was that our customers kind of knew it was arriving but did not really know when. That doesn’t seem to make sense right? But basically because of the model’s scarcity and the limited amount that was produced, you really had to be a fan to know more about its arrival.

Fortunately because we at CMH Ford Hatfield are able to house these, even if it is for a short period of time, we definitely knew when they were arriving and we couldn’t wait to take a drive in one. The first exterior impression is it’s BIG, and has a presence like no other bakkie out there. Once we got into the vehicle we were even more excited to know that it pulls away smoothly, absorbs the bumps, accelerates amazingly but slows down with ease.

The Ford Raptor is definitely not a robot to robot kind of vehicle. It’s the kind that you want to take on a much longer drive. Not only to enjoy the comfortability but to feel the power too. One of the most appreciated things about the Ford Raptor is its suspension – definitely out of this world. Someone may ask, how is the fuel consumption? And we realised true Ford Raptor fans do not really care lol.

There is a lot we can say about the popular Ford Raptor but that means you won’t visit us anytime soon at CMH Ford Hatfield. So, make a turn to find out more about the vehicle and if you lucky to find one on our showroom floor, you are guaranteed a test drive.

The New Ford Everest 4x4,the adventurous 7-seater SUV just got even more advanced with the new 2.0L Single Turbo and Bi-turbo diesel engines, operated by the innovative 10-speed automatic transmission, taking power, technology, safety, and fuel efficiency to the next level! It is incredibly dynamic in the city and absolutely phenomenal on rugged off-road terrains, making the Ford Everest the ideal all-round vehicle for you and your young at heart family, who love exploring and going on fun road trips.

We invited a group of our loyal clients to meet our all-new Ford Everest at its ideal territory, a 4x4 track! The day was filled with adventure, excitement and satisfied clients. We kicked the day off with a delightful breakfast at the Gas Monkey Pub and Grill in Pretoria and after that our clients brought their hunger for adventure, desire for adrenaline, passion for life and their love for Ford to the LA Sport 4x4 track, and boy did we have fun!

Two professional 4x4 instructors from Bosvark showed everybody how to safely go through all the obstacles and then gave them the chance to experience the definition of tough themselves with the new Ford Everest. Some of the obstacles looked so easy when watching as a bystander, but when you are the one behind the wheel it’s a whole different feeling. It feels somewhat terrifying, especially if it’s your first-time off-roading but as soon as the instructor tells you in what mode to put the vehicle and what buttons to press the Ford Everest goes through it with ease and makes you look like a pro!

You might think a smaller engine will reduce the power, but thanks to improved technology and clever engineering it delivers more power and torque, better fuel economy and greener in the ecological sense. With a state-of-the-art transmission, it has a greater spread of ratios to carefully select the most efficient gear at exactly the right moment.

The new Everest has four terrain modes to comfortably provide optimal performance, capability, traction and help you rise to new heights.

Features and technology, you can find in selected models:

• SYNC®3 with navigation • Lane Departure Warning • Semi-Automatic Parallel Park • Smart keyless entry and Push Button Start • Power 8-way adjustable driver seat and heated front seats • Dual-zone Electronic Automatic Temperature Control • Front and Rear parking sensors • Rear-view camera • Auto-levelling and Auto-High Beam Control • Power Rear Liftgate • A powered panoramic glass sunroof • Blind Spot Monitoring with cross-traffic alert • Tyre Pressure Monitoring System • Torque on-demand feature • Adaptive Cruise Control

It was remarkable to observe our client's reactions, to hear and see their joyous excitement and love for the brand. Ford mastered the perfect combination of power, comfort, speed and fuel consumption.

Explore life and instantly fall in love with driving again in the new #EverConquering #EverPowerful #EverCapable #EverComfortable and #EverSafe Ford Everest. Get in touch with our sales team on 0877248757 to book your test drive and get ready to be amazed!

Ford Cares about Your Little Ones. Strap Your Little Ones In! Car Seats Should Be a Must, Not a Maybe

Your child is by far the most precious cargo your vehicle will ever have to carry. We love our children and would never want anything to happen to them, yet here in South Africa, we still boast relatively low awareness towards car seat safety. It's critical to have your child - of any age, from infant to adolescent - properly restrained on every trip.

Why this is crucial

Road accidents are the second leading cause of death in children aged 5 to 14 in South Africa. According to the Automobile Association of South Africa, it is the law that any child under the age of three is in a properly secured car seat. A car seat can help reduce the likelihood of a fatal crash. Studies have shown that children who aren't properly restrained, and who are involved in crashes - even at slower speeds - have more chance of being seriously injured or, worse, killed, than those who are.

Most Ford vehicles feature standard Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children (LATCH), compatible with many car seats, but parents should always double-check that their car seat can be properly attached to the vehicle's lower and top tether anchors. It's important to take into account all the other vehicles this car seat may likely be used in as well.

Where, when and why

Rear-facing car seats are the safest way for infants and young children to travel in. Ford recommends that you keep your child in one until they have exceeded the highest weight or height allowed by your car seat manufacturer before transitioning to a forward-facing seat. There are also many convertible seats out in the market now, which can be used as a rear-facing and later, as a forward-facing car seat.

Take care to ensure the car seat is reclined at a correct angle so your child's head isn't flopping forward. Babies, in particular, need to be placed semi-reclined so that their airways are kept open. Bear in mind that you may need to readjust the seat as your child grows. Once your child outgrows their car seat, it's important to introduce a booster seat as, at that point, most children might still not be tall enough or weigh enough for an adult seat belt to fit snugly around them. Children must be about 1.5 meters - with the lap belt low on their hips and pelvis and the shoulder bet resting comfortably on the middle of their chest and shoulder - before a seat belt is appropriate.

Ford South Africa

Because Ford Cares about Your Little Ones we suggest strapping your child into a car seat is vital for their safety. Ford supports @carseatfullstop, a local car seat initiative that promotes the correct use of car seats. Here are some tips to make sure your child is as safe as they can be: http://bit.ly/FordCSFS #FordCares

Technology is already being tested that enables connected cars to communicate with other vehicles on the road, like ambulances, as well as with infrastructure, like traffic lights, helping drivers avoid accidents, traffic jams and other slow-downs.

Seamless digital experience

Products like the Ford SYNC® 3 voice-activated system enables users to control a vehicle's navigation, audio and climate features, as well as send text messages and make phone calls, all without taking their eyes off the road and hands off the wheel. Instead of wasting time sitting in traffic on the way to work, customers can safely check and reply to messages, join a conference call or listen to audiobooks. Features such as tyre pressure analysis can send alerts when a tyre is not inflated properly, which can cause tyre failure as well as poor fuel consumption, which can be six percent higher if a tyre is under-inflated.

Safety when you need it

Improved safety for drivers and passengers is the most important benefit of connected cars. Vehicle connectivity features today have evolved significantly and are enabling semi-autonomous capabilities in vehicles, such as adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking (AEB) and lane-keeping assistance. Many people are starting to look for these features in their cars and trucks as they realize the game-changing benefits of these technologies. These new features have revolutionized automotive safety by using cameras and sensors in vehicles to help prevent accidents before they occur.
