A couple of weeks ago, I was fortunate enough to join in on a fun filled day full of adrenalin and adventure with the 2016 Ford Ranger 2.2 range where we tackled the toughest of terrains to show everybody what the incredible 2.2 engine can handle! We started the day with a 4x4 course and we were accompanied by clients who purchased 4x4 vehicles from us who received vouchers to enjoy the day with us. A very vibrant, friendly and professional instructor from the Wolwekloof 4x4 Club, Micheal, taught us some interesting facts and what to do in different situations and how to keep calm and trust yourself and the vehicle when all you want to do is freak out! He ran us through a presentation and demonstrated some of the theories for us and after everything was explained and well understood he took us through the exciting and somewhat terrifying 4x4 course. Now this is where the fun and excitement truly began! He demonstrated and explained every obstacle and there after we followed, tackling it all by ourselves one by one. Oh and he made it look so easy, but it became a whole different story when you are the one who is about to take it on. Your hearts starts beating and the obstacle suddenly looks bigger and well… terrifying! Imagine this… You’re tackling a steep uphill and when you reach the top, all you can see is the blue skies! Now you have to totally obey and trust the instructor, turn whenever he says you need to turn the steering and then when the vehicle is in the right position, they tell you to leave everything (this was the strangest and most frightening feeling for me), trying not to use any of the pedals and off you go! I must say the Ford Ranger really made it easy with features like Hill Launch Assist, Traction Control, Hill Descent Control, Electronic Stability Control and with its locking rear differential. You will look and feel like a pro behind the wheel even if you are still an amateur! The Ranger made everything feel like a breeze! You will be surprised by what it can handle and by the power of the 2.2 engine, it is really impressive and truly remarkable. It has the looks (definitely one of the best looking bakkies in the market), with the quality and the looks of the interior you will even forget that you are sitting in a bakkie. It is comfortable, quite smooth and extremely safe with lots of features. The Ranger can definitely take you on unforgettable fun adventures.   Contact our sales team on 012 404 9200 to find out more about the Ford Ranger bakkies or to book your test drive and also like/follow our social media pages to see when the next 4x4 day will be or to be updated in everything that is happening in our dealership.

From all the staff here at CMH Kempster Ford we would like to wish our Dealer Principal, Peet Ras (the best DP this dealer could ask for) a very Happy Birthday, wishing you everything of the best on your special day. Enjoy every moment, smile, be happy and remember one thing: today is the most special day of the year, so live it to the fullest!

The all-new Ford Figo, due in South Africa in the fourth quarter of 2015, is destined to be a compact car champion by offering unprecedented levels of style, feature-rich smart technologies and high levels of safety, while retaining the Figo’s established reputation for superb fuel efficiency and overall value. “The Ford Figo has been a remarkable success story in South Africa since it was launched in 2010,” says Tracey Delate, General Marketing Manager at Ford Motor Company of Southern Africa (FMCSA). “From the outset the Figo’s strong price point, smart features and the option of fuel-efficient petrol and diesel engines made it one of the top contenders in the Sub-B segment. Last year the Figo held an average of 15-percent share of this segment. “The all-new Figo builds on that legacy by combining sophisticated contemporary styling, a whole new range of Ford’s trend-setting technologies such as Ford’s SYNC® integrated multimedia and connectivity system, as well as a modern and welcoming cabin that offers more space and improved safety,” Delate states. “The Figo will once again be extremely competitive in terms of overall value.” For the first time, the Figo will be available in two body styles, including the familiar five-door hatchback as well as a new four-door sedan. Although the full line-up will be confirmed closer to launch, the range will be broader compared to the current Figo due to the addition of more derivatives and specification levels (and the option of the hatch and sedan body styles). Both petrol and diesel models will be available, offering impressive fuel economy, power and torque. Customers will also have the choice of manual or automatic transmissions. The eye-catching styling is emphasized by the trapezoidal grille, complemented by a raked bonnet and bold, elongated headlamps. Sweeping, curved lines flowing from the front to the rear create a sense of movement. The five-door hatch incorporates a rising roofline with a sporty spoiler and neat tailgate accentuated by two distinct crease lines. The sedan version echoes the theme and adds improved loading capacity. The interior is also completely new, with an attractive design that provides high levels of comfort and space, complemented with impressive quality and attention to detail. Innovative smart features that will impress tech-savvy buyers include (depending on model) a new device-docking station that serves as the driver’s connection point to the world of mobility, Bluetooth with Voice Activation, the programmable MyKey® function, as well as electronic automatic temperature control. Safety is also a top priority, with a minimum of dual front airbags, extending to full-length side airbags. This is backed up by ABS brakes across the range, plus Electronic Stability Programme (ESP) with Hill Launch Assist on the top derivatives.

Ford Motor Company today announced that the all-new Ford Mustang will deliver 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) acceleration in under 5 seconds – making it the fastest accelerating high-volume Ford model ever offered in Europe. The company also revealed that more than 2,200 customers have ordered an all-new Ford Mustang since the iconic car became available to order across Europe earlier this year. The Ford Mustang – on sale in Europe for the first time in the car’s 50-year history – is available with Ford’s 5.0-litre V8 engine delivering 421 PS and 530 Nm of torque, or the more fuel-efficient 2.3-litre EcoBoost engine delivering 317 PS and 432 Nm of torque. The 5.0-litre V8 fastback model with six-speed manual transmission reaches 100 km/h (62 mph) from a standing start in 4.8 seconds – faster than any Ford in the Europe since the low-volume Ford GT supercar launched in 2005. The Ford Mustang 2.3-litre EcoBoost fastback manual reaches the marker in 5.8 seconds. Ford Mustang drivers can optimise the car’s performance to suit their mood and driving conditions using Selectable Drive Modes, and away from the public highway can use Track Apps to monitor driving performance. Ford Mustang 5.0-litre V8 drivers also can achieve the fastest possible acceleration off the line on the track assisted by Launch Control technology. Mustang also delivers up to 0.97 g-force when cornering. “The new Ford Mustang will be wickedly fast off the line and throw you back in your seat with a thrilling engine soundtrack,” said Hermann Salenbauch, Mustang vehicle line director. “But Mustang isn’t just fast in a straight line. The ride and handling will be a revelation for European drivers.” Equipped with Ford’s 2.3-litre EcoBoost engine the new Ford Mustang also delivers up to 8.0 l/100 km (35.3 mpg) fuel efficiency and 179 g/km CO₂ emissions.* Fun on road and track The all-new Ford Mustang’s high performance engines are supported by a standard Performance Pack in Europe that delivers uprated brakes and cooling for high-speed driving. A sophisticated chassis and body structure, and advanced technology, also help optimise driving dynamics to deliver the sporty experience Ford Mustang customers demand. Selectable Drive Modes are controlled using toggle switches in the centre console and adjust the AdvanceTrac electronic stability control, throttle response, automatic gear-shift patterns, and steering to match Normal, Sport+, Track or Snow/Wet settings. Selectable Effort Electric Power Assisted Steering enables drivers to choose a Normal, Comfort or Sport steering weight and feel. To help drivers get the most from the car at the track, the Ford Mustang also delivers Track Apps that can be controlled via the steering wheel and viewed in the instrument panel, including accelerometer, acceleration timer and brake performance, which measures braking time and distance from a set speed. Available for the 5.0-litre V8 with manual transmission, the Launch Control system holds the engine at a pre-set value between 3,000 rpm and 4,500 rpm with the accelerator fully depressed. When the clutch is released, torque delivery to the rear wheels is controlled for maximum traction and consistent standing starts. An electronic Line Lock system also available for the 5.0-litre V8 applies only the front brakes, allowing drivers to the warm the rear tyres. The Ford Mustang uses fully independent suspension front and rear for sporty dynamics and comfort, including integral-link rear suspension that optimises ride comfort and mechanical grip, and double-ball-joint front MacPherson struts that enable large, powerful brakes without affecting steering feel. The body structure is 28 per cent stiffer than the previous generation Mustang. Weight distribution of 54 per cent at the front for the 5.0-litre V8 and 53 per cent at the front for the 2.3‑litre EcoBoost contributes to responsive and precise handling. Lightweight materials include aluminium used for the bonnet, front wings, suspension, transmission and brakes. High-strength steels, laser welding and hydro-forming techniques contribute to the stiffer body for an enhanced driving experience and safety. Classic design and modern equipment The new Ford Mustang is available in fastback and convertible bodystyles with six-speed manual and automatic transmissions, and features classic design elements including three-dimensional, tri-bar taillamps, signature trapezoidal grille and shark-bite front fascia. Ford has started production of the first European specification Ford Mustangs at its Flat Rock facility, Michigan, U.S., in 10 exterior colours and equipped as standard with 19-inch wheels, automatic HID headlamps, dual-zone climate control, LED tail lamps, and a rear diffuser. Further standard equipment includes a nine-speaker sound system, and SYNC 2 voice control connectivity with 8-inch colour touch screen. Ford Mustang is exclusively available to order in Europe at new FordStore locations opening across the region primarily in metropolitan areas. The first vehicles are set to reach dealerships continental Europe from July and the U.K. from October.

The new Ford B-MAX, which is scheduled for launch in South Africa in the third quarter of this year, features a unique design, superb fuel economy and unrivalled small car technology, making it among the most advanced compact cars on the market. “The Ford B-MAX really challenges traditional small car thinking,” says Tracey Delate, General Marketing Manager at Ford Motor Company of Southern Africa (FMCSA). “Its ingenious design opens the doors – quite literally – to exciting new ideas about what's possible with a compact vehicle.” Based on Ford’s global B-car platform – shared with the highly successful new Fiesta – the B-MAX represents the company’s vision for a premium compact multi-activity vehicle (MAV), combining outstanding space and versatility within a smart and stylish exterior. The B-MAX’s Ford Easy Access Door System provides unobstructed entry and exit with hinged front doors and pillarless rear sliding doors, integrating the central body pillars into the doors rather than it being part of the bodyshell itself. When both front and rear doors are open there is outstanding access to the interior, with a huge, clear aperture of 1.5 metres wide, making it significantly easier to enter or exit the rear seats, attend to children in child seats, or load and unload shopping. The flexible seating system features 60/40 split rear seats that can be folded flat with a simple “one-hand, one-motion” mechanism. Ford engineers developed innovative solutions to ensure the B-MAX delivers the same outstanding levels of crash protection as vehicles with a more conventional structure. This exciting new model also achieves exceptional fuel economy and low CO₂ emissions. Although the full line-up will only be revealed at launch, the range will include the 3 times “International Engine of the Year” 1.0-litre Ford EcoBoost petrol engine. The innovative new B-MAX offers a wide range of Ford’s latest smart technologies, including SYNC®, Ford’s voice-activated in-car connectivity system. It is also equipped with Ford MyKey® functionality, an auto dimming rear view mirror and full length panoramic roof. B-MAX is true to the Ford fun-to-drive brand DNA with superlative driving dynamics featuring Torque Vectoring Control for superior traction and cornering. The car offers outstanding agility and manoeuvrability designed for the cut and thrust of city driving.

CMH Kempster Ford Durban-Pre Owned Vehicles embarked on a community programme at the Verulam Day Care Centre. The Verulam Day Care Centre is an old age home where there are about fifty residents. The staff of Pre-Owned Vehicles at Kempster Ford collected funds as our contribution towards the old age home. We spent quality time with patients, talking, listening to their wonderful stories and keeping them company. Our interaction with the patients was amazing and we were able to put a smile on their wonderful faces. This was a heart-warming and a joyous time for the patients and our stuff members. Our staff prepared lunch and put together a care package of lotion, shampoo, and tooth brushes for each patient. They were over the moon to receive the tokens from us. Our family and friends joined us in this great initiative. It was a fun filled afternoon spent with the patients. We will definitely will be going back to visit our new friends at the Verulam Frail Care and Day Care Centre. A real good deed does go a long way. CMH Ford Durban Community Outreach

The Fiesta 1.0 EcoBoost Titanium is also now available with the PowerShift transmission, thus providing the option of manual or automatic derivatives across the entire range in Ambiente, Trend and Titanium versions.
