The Best City Cars in South Africa
Cities are busy, confusing and sometimes even scary places when it comes to driving and parking especially larger vehicles. Luckily there are enough affordable, comfortable and safe city cars to choose from if you live or work in an urban environment.
In case you were wondering what actually qualifies as a city car, here’s a definition from Wikipedia: “A city car (also known as urban car or a mini) is a small car designed to be used primarily in urban areas and conurbations."
A hatchback is a typical city car, but some coupés and small SUVs can pleasantly surprise when it comes to being compact and efficient, without compromising on style.
