Lookingfor a vehicle that combines performance, luxury, capability and value?
These carefully selected pre-owned executive vehicles offer buyers the opportunity to get behind the wheel of premium machines that are built to perform, without necessarily paying the price of a brand-new model.
When buying a pre-owned vehicle, condition, specification and value matter. That is why these three vehicles deserve a closer look. Each one brings its own character to the road, whether your priority is commanding performance, luxury and technology or dependable daily motoring.
2025 Ford Ranger Platinum 4WD
Forbuyers who want the versatility of a bakkie without sacrificing luxury, the 2025 Ford Ranger Platinum 4WD brings together power, technology and premium comfort.
The Ranger Platinum is powered by Ford’s 3.0-litre V6 turbo-diesel, producing 184kW and 600Nm, paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission and full-time 4WD.
That means this is far more than a vehicle for carrying loads. It has the performance to handle highway journeys comfortably while retaining t h e ability to venture off the beaten track. Its selectable drive modes include Normal, Eco, Tow, Slippery, Mud and Sand, allowing the vehicle to adapt to different driving conditions.
It is equally impressive when it comes to practicality. The Ranger Platinum has a 3 500kg maximum braked towing capacity, while the load box is designed with features that make it useful for both work and leisure. Then there is the technology. The Platinum specification includes features such as adaptive cruise control, lane centring, blind-spot monitoring, a 360-degree camera, parking sensors and autonomous emergency braking.
Inside, it delivers a more refined experience than the traditional workhorse image associated with bakkies. Heated and cooled seats, premium finishes, dual-zone climate control and a range of connectivity and convenience features make it suitable for the executive who wants one vehicle capable of doing almost everything.
WHY CONSIDER IT?
At E890 000, the buyer gets the combination of V6 performance, full-time 4WD, luxury, technology, towing ability and everyday practicality, all in one premium double-cab package.
2024 Ford Everest Wildtrak 3.0 TDI V6 4WD
Ifyou want an SUV that can look equally at home outside an executive office, on the open road or tackling challenging terrain, the 2024 Ford Everest Wildtrak 3.0 TDI V6 4WD is difficult to overlook.
At the heart of this Everest is Ford’s 3.0-litre V6 turbo-diesel engine, producing 184kW and 600Nm of torque.
That combination gives the SUV the muscle required for confident overtaking, long-distance cruising, towing and demanding driving conditions. Ford pairs the engine with a 10-speed automatic transmission and full-time four-wheel drive.
The 4WD system is particularly useful for a buyer who does not want to be restricted to ordinary roads.
Depending on conditions, the system offers different drive modes, while the electronically controlled four-wheel-drive system is d e s i g n e d to improve t r a c t i o n a c r o s s changing surfaces.
It is not a l l a b o u t c a p a b i l i t y, either. The Everest is designed as a premium seven-seater SUV, giving families and executives generous space while retaining the commanding driving position expected from a vehicle of this class.
The Wildtrak specification also brings the kind of equipment buyers expect from an executive SUV, while its substantial towing capability makes it practical beyond the daily commute. Ford lists a maximum braked towing capacity of 3 500kg for the 3.0-litre V6 Wildtrak.
WHY CONSIDER IT?
You are getting a premium SUV with V6 diesel performance, serious 4WD capability, seven-seat practicality and executive presence at E869 000
