Monday Choon: Alesso, Sentinel, Sick Individuals - Upside Down

Many say he should have been the fourth member of the Swedish House Mafia but, for me, Alesso brings a different dynamic to house music and while he may hail from Sweden as well, he has managed to build his own legacy in the electronic music industry, so much so that he is one of the most requested DJ's for major festivals. His remix of Nadia Ali's pressure still remains one of my all time favourite songs, today's featured track from Alesso has been featured on a number of his sets at festivals over the past year, and it's finally been released. "Upside Down" see's him team up with Sentinel and Sick Individuals, and they have produced a banger that has already had crowds at festivals off their feet, so you know its good. 

Bucket Seat: BMW Neue Klasse iX3

BMW presents the first series-produced Neue Klasse model. The new-generation BMW iX3 is a fully electric Sports Activity Vehicle (SAV) that gives customers their first on-the-road taste of a whole new era of Sheer Driving Pleasure. An all-new design language gives the car a character-rich appearance that faithfully conveys the technological progress made by the new model. With sixth-generation BMW eDrive technology, a range of up to 805 kilometres and a peak charging rate of 400 kW, the new BMW iX3 sets new standards for efficiency and long-distance capability. A new electronics and software architecture including four “superbrain” high-performance computers makes the first Neue Klasse model more intelligent and better equipped for the future than ever. The “Heart of Joy” drivetrain and driving dynamics management technology enables unmatched handling dynamism and precision, while the latest systems for automated driving optimise symbiotic human-vehicle interaction.

The sixth-generation BMW eDrive technology developed for the Neue Klasse comprises highly efficient electric motors, fundamentally new high-voltage batteries with cylindrical cells, and 800V technology. The BMW iX3 50 xDrive is powered by two electric motors, which together generate output of 345 kW and 645 Nm of torque. It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.9 seconds and reaches a top speed of 210 km/h. Its electric all-wheel-drive configuration consists of an extensively upgraded electrically excited synchronous motor (EESM) with particularly high levels of efficiency at the rear axle and, at the front axle, a new asynchronous motor (ASM) distinguished by its compact design and high cost efficiency. The combination of EESM and ASM is evidence of the BMW Group’s commitment to technological neutrality within electric mobility as well. The drive technology developed for the Neue Klasse reduces energy losses by 40 per cent compared to fifth-generation BMW eDrive technology, weight by 10 per cent and manufacturing costs by 20 per cent.

The new high-voltage battery concept with cylindrical cells for the Neue Klasse also achieves significant advances. The energy density on a cell level is 20 per cent higher than with fifth-generation BMW eDrive technology, and the new concept also paves the way for a 30 per cent increase in charging speed. The cylindrical cells are integrated directly into the high-voltage battery (“cell to pack”), which benefits energy density and cost efficiency. Added to which, the high-voltage battery is integrated into the vehicle architecture as a structural component to minimise weight (“pack to open body”). The high-voltage battery in the BMW iX3 50 xDrive has a usable energy content of 108.7 kWh, enabling a range of up to 805 kilometres in the WLTP cycle.

The advances brought by sixth-generation BMW eDrive technology have a significant influence on the charging experience, too. A maximum charging rate of 400 kW enables users to fill their new BMW iX3 with enough energy at an 800V direct current (DC) rapid charging station to add up to 372 kilometres of range in just ten minutes. The high-voltage battery can charge from 10 to 80 per cent capacity in 21 minutes. Thanks to the battery management tech with integrated switching matrix developed completely in-house by the BMW Group, the new BMW iX3 can also be charged from 400V DC stations. Upgrades to the battery preparation also help to shorten charging times. The new BMW iX3 50 xDrive can top up on alternating current (AC) at 11 kW as standard or 22 kW as an option.

A variety of measures ensures that the product carbon footprint of the new BMW iX3 50 xDrive over its full life cycle – based on a mileage of 200,000 kilometres – is 34 per cent smaller than that of its predecessor. This means that, when charged with electricity from the European energy mix, it has a smaller product carbon footprint than a comparable combustion-engined (ICE) model after around 21,500 kilometres. When charged exclusively with electricity from renewable sources, the BMW iX3 50 xDrive beats the comparable ICE model after only 17,500 kilometres (WLTP combined), allowing customers to potentially achieve CO₂e advantages over the ICE model in as little as one year.

Bucket Seat: Audi RS3 Sportback

Audi's RS stable has a formidable line up with very powerful weaponry in their arsenal, powered by some legendary motors ranging from 5-pots to V8's that deliver enough power to knock the wind out of you on launch. While many do live by the age old Jeremy Clarkson analogy "More Power", sometimes the ones with the lesser power deliver more fun. The latest edition of the Audi RS3 reached our shores earlier this year, still powered by the 5-cylinder turbo-charged petrol engine but now delivers slightly more punch than the launch edition which was first reviewed by us in 2023. Funny enough, the test unit I had back then was in Kyalami Green and this new unit was the same colour. Even though it is the baby of the RS stable, does the RS3 still deliver a thrilling drive like the rest of its companions or does it fall short? Having spent a week with it, here are my thoughts. 

DESIGN

I'm not going to be like the generic influencers by saying "Audi cooked" or "Audi knocked this one out of the park" or anything to that effect but in all honesty, this car looks stunning. I had my reservations of the exact spec I got as I feel the colour deserved a darker colour rim but it grew on me. The way Audi transformed this car from a regular A3 to something so muscular and aggressive, feels like they took a regular A3, filled it up with Red Bull and creatine, sent it to the gym for a weight session and it came out bulked up ready for competition. When you delve deeper into the design, you can see it's not just a body kit they slapped on but paid intricate detail into the aerodynamics and ventilation of the car. Sharpened proportions and a lower in stance, gives the car a more pronounced presence, the car is wider and squared off in areas that not only add character but also serves a purpose in terms of cooling or ventilation. There are some faux details for added visual effects but most of it is functional. Major new styling cues include the new headlights which feature a new matrix LED design that is customisable from the infotainment screen, a new rhombus grille with honeycomb pattern, angular side pods which flow onto the flared wheel arch. The rear features a twin style spoiler and the rear bumper is a thing of beauty with a pronounced difuser that is finished off in black that houses the twin RS performance exhaust pipes and a reflector dead center gives the RS3 that iconic rally style look. Not much significant changes are on the interior, the racing seats receive some new styling and the steering wheel design has changed. 

PERFORMANCE

Now, for a 5-cylinder motor, this one sure is throaty, the vocals are enhanced by those massive performance exhausts, the soft-limiter does fade away once the car has warmed up but the noise in the cabin when going full tilt is just intoxicating. The power which is drawn from the 2.5-litre motor is astounding, with it delivering 294kW and 500Nm of torque. Audi's claimed 0-100km time is 3.8 seconds, my best attempt was 3.9 seconds multiple times, I attribute the extra 0.1 second to my spare tyre I carry around but still, it's mind blowingly fast for such a small car. The on road feel with the various driving modes dependent on your mood add to the versatility of the RS3, if you just want a chilled drive to the shops, Eco mode would do it for you, comfort is for everyday driving that has a chilled mode but the devil within can be woken up at any time. Dynamic mode is where things start to get interesting with the car becoming more vocal and you can feel things start to tension up. Audi have added two performance buttons to the steering wheel cluster for easy access to RS mode and track mode, both of these can be customised in the cars menu settings depending on your driving preference. The Quattro all-wheel drive with RS Torque Splitter distributes power between the front axel and individual wheels on the rear axel as required, it's this function that allows you to drift an all-wheel drive car, having done this on track at the launch was tonnes of fun, unfortunately finding a decent spot to test it out proved to be impossible but I'm glad I got to do it at least once. The balance of the car is just superb and I think this is why I prefer this smaller RS model to its bigger bruts, It's got a tonne of power but its so easy to control, thanks to the Quattro system, it assists to such a great extent that you don't feel like you have to exorcise demons to get it do what you want it to do. 

COMFORT

It's a sports car, that means lowered ride height, stiff suspension, low profile tyres mean a very hard and bumpy on-the-road feel but with the RS3, while it did have all of the above, it was quite comfortable. The racing bucket seats were super comfy and not restrictive even for someone my size. I had 4 full size adults in the car and all of them praised how comfy the car was. Audi packed the RS3 with all the regular creature comforts and more, the car is also laden with the latest tech, as mentioned it has the new designed steering wheel with flat top and bottom that has multi-function controls, the MMI interface gotten an upgrade too with so much going on in the various menus, I didn't dabble too much into that as I usually had my phone projected onto the screen. dual-zone climate control, seat heating for the front seats and a panoramic sunroof were just some of the items worth a mention. Heads-up display, which is optional also helps the driver keep their eyes on the road, the RS configurator on ton the in screen menu lets you calibrate the cars settings for your optimal driving preference. The sporty details of the interior really make the car stand out from the normal A3, a mixture of alcantara and leather make up the materials of the interior with robust but great quality plastics serving the rest. The LED Matrix headlights from Audi just keep getting better and better, these ones have various different patterns for your day-time running lights so you can choose to change it whenever the need arises. The sound system has received a nice upgrade with the RS3 coming with a SONOS 3D sound experience system featuring 15-speakers including subwoofers to give you an ultra-premium sound experience, even though the orchestra from the exhausts sounds great, sometimes you want to kick back with some good tunes. 

VERDICT

While the RS3 is the baby in the Audi RS line-up, it still remains one of the most fun cars to drive, only rivaled by the TTRS which shares the same power-plant. The car is legend in street racing in our paths and this new one is sure to carry on that status with not only the looks but also the power to prove it. Audi have taken an already great car and tweaked to become even better. When I first drove the new gen RS3 on launch I thought they had a winner, this face-lift just goes to show you what German engineering is all about, the strive for perfection never stops and its justified given how much different this car feels that its predecessor. I love how Audi have integrated some of the new design philosophy into this model by including this like the new steering wheel which is in the all-new A5 which just was recently launched and the MMI interface ensuring that customers who are buying this car are getting the best that they have to offer. My time with the RS3 was short but oh was it sweet.

Monday Choon: Swedish House Mafia - Wait So Long

 

The Swedish trio are back and after some epic performances across Europe of the Summer festival period, none more epic than their set at Tomorrowland. The latest offering from them which has featured on their set lists as this one "Wait So Long" even though was released in June has still been doing incredibly well across the globe. It's definitely a certified banger and one we will be hearing more frequently. 

Bucket Seat: Toyota Fortuner GR Sport

The Toyota Fortuner has long been one of the countries favourite 7-seater SUV's, based of the ever popular Hilux, this car has fought of some tough competition from the likes of Ford, Isuzu and most recently the surge of Chinese SUV's flooding the market. Given the impressive underpinnings of the Hilux and the reputable and reliable name badge, people are still drawn to this car despite its aged design and offerings. With the impending arrival of the new Hilux which will possibly break cover at the end of the year or early in the new year, spells an end to the life cycle of the current Fortuner which will also have a brand new model based on the new Hilux. Hence Toyota decided to smack on the GR name badge to the Fortuner, with not only cosmetic enhancements but performance as well. 

DESIGN

The GR-Sport treatment takes the familiar Fortuner shape and adds real presence without gaudiness. Outside you get a reshaped front bumper with a bolder lower “spoiler” look, black 18-inch alloys, a roof spoiler, GR badges, and darker exterior accents. It still reads as Fortuner—upright and purposeful—but the GR bits give it a tougher, more athletic stance. Inside, Toyota leans into the theme with perforated suede-and-leather sports seats, aluminium pedals, red instrument highlights and GR branding on the wheel, start button and key. The regular Fortuner’s update brings full-LED lighting with neat sequential indicators and a cleaner, more premium cabin layout; the GR-S simply turns the dial up visually. 

PERFORMANCE

Under the bonnet sits the uprated 2.8-litre GD-6 turbodiesel tuned to 165 kW and 550 Nm, paired to a 6-speed automatic with paddle shifters. That’s a healthy bump over standard 2.8s (150 kW/500 Nm), and you can feel the extra mid-range shove when overtaking or towing. Toyota also fits a retuned suspension specific to the GR-S, aimed at sharper body control while keeping the Fortuner’s long-distance plushness. Independent SA tests report 0–100 km/h anywhere from the mid-8s to low-11s depending on equipment, surface and methodology—quick enough for a ladder-frame 7-seater and notably stronger than non-GR 2.8s. Real-world, it’s the torque plateau from ~1 600 rpm that defines the drive: relaxed cruising, decisive kickdown, and less hunting between ratios on rolling highways. 

OFF-ROAD

This is still a Fortuner at heart: proper 4×4 hardware (low-range transfer case), a rear diff-lock, and Toyota’s A-TRC traction logic that meters brake pressure at spinning wheels to keep you moving over cross-axle obstacles. Downhill Assist Control helps on steep, loose descents, and Hill-start Assist keeps things tidy on climbs. The GR-S adds its suspension tune and slightly more responsive powertrain mapping, which you notice when feathering the throttle over technical sections. Approach/departure numbers aren’t the sales pitch here—the story is the predictability: clear sight lines, sensible throttle calibration, and electronic aids that step in seamlessly rather than snatching. If you regularly mix gravel touring with the odd rocky pass, this setup hits the sweet spot between comfort and control. 

COMFORT

Seven seats remain, with easy one-touch access to the third row. The second row is family-friendly (ISOFIX on both outer seats), and the third row is fine for kids or occasional adult hops. The boot is square and useful; the flip-up third-row still divides opinion, but it does free a tall, usefully wide load floor when stowed. Ride quality is classic Fortuner: supple over rough tar and gravel, a touch firmer on sharp urban edges in the GR-S but still compliant. Front seats are heated and power-adjustable, and the split-zone climate control with rear ventilation keeps the cabin temperate on long hauls. Noise isolation is improved versus older Fortuners; the 2.8’s balance-shaft work pays dividends at idle and highway cruise. Infotainment is centered on an 8-inch touchscreen with wired Apple CarPlay/Android Auto and up to 11 speakers. The TFT multi-info cluster is clear and useful, and the electrochromatic rear-view mirror on 2.8-litre models is a nice touch. Toyota Safety Sense is available on the GR-S, bundling a Pre-Crash System, Adaptive Cruise Control and Lane-Keeping Assist; you also get front/rear PDC and a reverse camera. The GR-S can be optioned with a Panoramic View Monitor to make tight manoeuvres and off-road wheel placement easier. Passive safety is comprehensive with front, side, curtain and driver’s knee airbags. 

VERDICT

While I may criticize Toyota for not making any drastic changes to the design and interior over the years, the numbers tell no lie, people still love this car and giving it a sporty derivative will only enhance it's appeal to many. While I feel this car is faster than it needs to be, it doesn't take away how much fun it is to drive, especially off-road. The space and practicality of the car is hard to beat, even the Everest, while much more attractive in design and technology, the trusty Toyota badge does shine through in the end with its comfort and reliability.
