2017's automotive hero, road trip safety checks: Motoring wrap

accreditation

Cape Town - From 2017 Formula 1 world champion Lewis Hamilton's success to everything you need to know before you hit the road this festive period, here is your end of week motoring news wrap.

Hamilton, best family SUV's

'Awarding the F1 driver’s world champion hero of the year status might appear a fait accompli, but Hamilton’s fourth world championship carries special significance,' writes Lance Branquinho as he reflects on the Britons title winning campaign.

The rise of the SUV might have signalled the death of the once-beloved 7-seater MPV, but that doesn’t mean big families have to be stuck by the roadside for alternatives. We feature five great 7-seater cars for big families.

Finally, the Automobile Association (AA) recently released its second annual Entry-Level Vehicle Safety Report that assess the safety features on entry-level vehicles. We look at everything you need to know about the report.
