These elements have one thing in common, the presence of the human hand in meticulously crafting them. The fusion of these handcrafted elements was done using the layering of materials. This creates a sense of depth that echoes the layered use of surfaces of the exterior architecture. The next challenge was to add a touch of glamour to the understated aesthetic. Marble side tables, as well as the strategic use of copper, brass and greenery combine effortlessly to create a contemporary up-to-date look without sacrificing the element of timeless taste — an attribute of Weylandts’ look that has appealed to a wide range of customers for many years. Darker accent walls were used in conjunction with informal shelving; lighting by inspirational Dutch company Moooi; and carefully-curated typographical word art and confident abstract art complete an intriguing picture.

Examples like the Valiant, Ford Cortina and various Chevvy’s immediately spring to mind.

All have the now standard alphabet soup of safety tech built-in, including 6 airbags to protect your family. On the economy front, depending on driving conditions, all 3 will easily give you an average figure of between 8-9 L/100km in your daily life. Finally, we look at the list prices of R477 900 for the Honda, R469 995 for the Kia and R519 900 for the Peugeot. (Peugeot does offer the Allure Spec version with the same engine/ gearbox combination for R459 900). So, on the whole, pricewise, they are all in the same ball park, although the Honda CRV and Kia Sportage include a 5-year/90 000km service plan and Peugeot offers a 4-year/60 000km service plan.
