The gauntlet was set by Proton to TopGear South Africa. Could we take two of their 6 / 7-seater SUVs on a 1-tank roadtrip from Midrand, JHB via Durban and Umhlanga all the way to St. Lucia? On paper anyway, it seemed almost impossible judging by Proton's claimed consumption figures as well as by our own previous experience with the car. But we're always up for a challenge and here, we present the full story.
A two-day fuel challenge turned into a three-day nailbiter and you wouldn't believe what we ended up achieving.
Proton SA's X90 Hybrid was the biggest surprise. Where does one find a petrol-powered hybrid 6 / 7 Seater that can do this?
