Earlier in 2025, CMH Toyota Alberton proudly introduced the exciting new spec changes on the latest Toyota Urban Cruiser models. These updates bring fresh style, added convenience, and improved comfort, making the Urban Cruiser even more appealing to South African drivers.

Key Exterior Upgrades

The new spec Urban Cruiser Xs models swapped out the traditional steel wheels for stylish 15-inch alloy rims, adding a touch of elegance to the compact SUV. A rear window wiper has also been added across the range for improved practicality and safety in all weather conditions.

For the top-tier Urban Cruiser Xr models, the halogen headlights were replaced by advanced LED units for better night-time visibility. These headlights now come standard with auto on/off functionality and a convenient follow-me-home feature for extra peace of mind.

Interior Comfort and Technology

The updates go beyond the exterior. Inside the cabin, the upgrade from a urethane to a leather-wrapped steering wheel gives a more premium feel and enhanced comfort for drivers.

Technology has also been stepped up with an infotainment system upgrade from a 7-inch to a 9-inch display, offering a more immersive and user-friendly interface. For added convenience, two Type-C USB ports have been introduced in the rear, keeping passengers connected and powered up on the go.

Performance and Efficiency

Powering the new spec Toyota Urban Cruiser is the reliable and fuel-efficient 1.5-litre, four-cylinder naturally aspirated petrol engine, designed for smooth drivability and everyday practicality. With an impressive fuel consumption figure of just 6.1-litres per 100 km (for both manual and automatic transmissions), the Urban Cruiser helps you go further on every trip while keeping running costs low.

On 19 September 2025, CMH Toyota Umhlanga proudly hosted an exclusive Fleet 4×4 Day at the breathtaking Clifton Canyon. The event brought together our valued fleet clientele for a day filled with adventure, team spirit, and the opportunity to experience the true off-road strength of Toyota.

Putting Toyota to the Test

From the rugged Hilux GR-S, the powerful Land Cruiser, and the versatile Fortuner, to the ever-reliable Prado and Prado GR, our Toyota fleet tackled every challenge Clifton Canyon had to offer. Mud, rocks, steep climbs, and tricky descents – nothing stood in the way. Once again, Toyota proved why it is the ultimate benchmark for capability and reliability.

Guided by the CMH Toyota Umhlanga team, our fleet clients had the opportunity to push their vehicles to the limit in real off-road conditions – an experience that truly demonstrated Toyota’s dependability for both business and lifestyle needs.

A Day of Connection

We concluded the adventure with a scenic view over Clifton Canyon, where guests gathered for refreshments, light bites, and great conversation. As a token of our appreciation, each client received a special gift – a reminder of the strong partnership between CMH Toyota Umhlanga and our fleet family.

Looking Ahead

At CMH Toyota Umhlanga, we remain committed to building lasting relationships with our fleet and private clients, while continuing to highlight the unmatched durability, reliability, and performance of Toyota vehicles.

Thank you to everyone who joined us – here’s to more adventures, more memories, and more reasons to choose Toyota for your fleet needs!

At CMH Toyota Umhlanga, we believe that being part of a community means lending a hand where it matters most. This winter, our team was proud to spread a little warmth by donating 82 blankets to St. Monica’s Children’s Home. St. Monica’s Children’s Home, a Child and Youth Care Centre, provides a safe, loving, and empowering environment for children in need. Their mission to support, heal, and empower resonates deeply with us, and we are honoured to stand alongside them in making a difference.

Our CMH Toyota Umhlanga team personally delivered the blankets, ensuring that the children will have some extra comfort during the cold months. The smiles and gratitude we received in return were a heartwarming reminder of the importance of community, compassion, and care. For CMH Toyota Umhlanga, it’s not only about driving vehicles – it’s about driving hope and positive change. Acts of kindness, no matter how small, create ripples that can touch lives in meaningful ways.

We thank St. Monica’s Children’s Home for the incredible work they do every day, and we are grateful to have had the opportunity to support them. Together, we can continue to build a stronger, warmer, and more caring community.

Here’s to many more drives, destinations, and partnerships to come!

The Toyota Vitz is fast becoming one of South Africa’s favourite compact hatchbacks — and it’s not hard to see why. With its sharp styling, agile performance, and standout value, this small car offers everything you need and more. At CMH Toyota Alberton, we’re making the Vitz even more irresistible, with deals that offer more car for less cash.

When Last Did You Get What You Bargained For?

As our Sales Manager puts it, “Dynamic comes in small packages” — and the new Toyota Vitz proves it. It’s a compact car that punches far above its weight, offering everything from class-leading efficiency to an impressive 295-litre boot. Add a touchscreen infotainment system and rear parking sensors to the mix, and it’s clear: the Vitz was built with modern city life in mind.

Efficient, Energetic, and Easy to Live With

The Vitz might be small, but it delivers big in performance and practicality. Powered by a 49kW twin-injection, 3-cylinder engine delivering 89Nm of torque at just 3,500rpm, this hatchback thrives in stop-start traffic and offers responsive acceleration from one robot to the next — with minimal gear changes needed.

Thanks to its low weight and clever suspension setup (MacPherson struts at the front and a torsion beam at the rear), the Vitz offers nimble handling and a fun, agile drive — exactly what you need on urban roads and in tight parking spaces.

Colours, Features, and Comfort

Whether you’re a fan of bold or subtle styling, there’s a Toyota Vitz to match your taste. Choose from standout shades like Torch Red, Jet Blue, Pearl White, Silver, Grey, or Black Pearl. Inside, you’ll find plenty of thoughtful features, including a user-friendly infotainment system, modern convenience tech, and a full suite of safety features to protect your peace of mind.

Why the Vitz Is Real-World Fun

As the Dealer Principal at CMH Toyota Alberton says, “Small cars are simply the most fun you can have behind the wheel — at least in the real world, where traffic and speed limits exist.” The Vitz isn’t about breaking speed records — it’s about delivering zippy, energetic performance that puts a smile on your face, every time you drive.
