OPEL CORSA UTILITY 1.8I SPORT
The Corsa Utility is not only the most popular pick-up in the
small bakkie segment of the market, it is also generally regarded
as the bench mark against which other bakkies are measured.
Not only does the Utility boast the most powerful engine in the
segment – the fuel-injected 1,8-litre unit – but its payload of 840
kg is the best. As far as safety is concerned, the Utility is the
only bakkie that offers both dual airbags and ABS brakes. The
1.8i Club is also the most expensive bakkie in the segment.

AND WHAT HAVE WE HERE ??







Peugeot has revealed a pick-up with a 750 kg payload and a 207 face…

Like South Africa, bakkies are big in Brazil and Peugeot has answered to this call with the introduction of the Hoggar.

Designed in Brazil for its local market, Hoggar is an extension of the 207 line alongside the hatchback, sedan and station wagon. The company hopes to garner 10% of all pick-up sales in Brazil this year, with Hoggar providing the main thrust, of course.

The adorable little bakkie has a load volume of 1 151 litres and a payload of up to 742 kg.

It launches in Brazil in May with three trim levels and a choice between 1.4- and 1.6-litre engines.

While it seems an interesting proposal, the carmaker will restrict Hoggar sales to the Brazilian market for now.

When searching Google images, use the word Bakkie to throw up some real tasty pickups, as they are known as Bakkie's in outh Africa.


Fiat Strada.

And Fiesta!

Vans are more practical with our climate.

In the 1990s Ford sent some experimetal electric versions of the Escort van to the US (California iirc) and the response to them was "Put a proper engine in this and it would be a really useful vehicle, why don't we get them here?"

Have another South African bakkie, the Ford Bantam.

Sod the weather! These little pick ups are awesome, the Corsa B is epic.

my dads got one, i use it all the time, and its brilliant!! ;D ;D

Mazda 323 pickup? Awesome! Simply add the important bits off of the 4x4 turbo version for complete WIN!

I was in my 1200 pickup (Japanese import) last night at the Ace. They sold thousands of 2dr, 4dr, wagon, and coupe 1200s in the UK , but not one pickup!
They'd have kicked marina's butt I tell you.
