Motoring News and Updates from Hoopers VW Durban
Can you feel that? The humidity is finally starting to lift, and the N3 is calling for a weekend cruise this March. At Hoopers VW, we’re celebrating 50 years of an icon that practically grew up on our streets.
Whether you’re navigating roadworks in Durban or planning your trip to the Berg for the upcoming Easter weekend, here’s what’s happening in the world of motoring this month.
50 Years of the Golf GTI: The "Vrrr-Pha" that Started it All
Can you believe it’s been half a century since the first GTI took the world by storm?
Back in 1976, Volkswagen introduced what would become a legendary hatchback. Fast forward to 2026, and the Golf GTI has become part of everyday life in Durban. It’s the car that understands the assignment, whether it’s fitting groceries in the boot for the family, to giving you that extra kick when you need to overtake on the N3.
The Golf GTI is the king of the “Vrrr-Pha”. With a fully equipped digital cockpit, driver’s assist and a Turbocharged engine, it's the perfect combination of value and comfort.

Volkswagen Amarok: Serious Grit for a Serious Contender
Let’s face it, not all engines are created equal.
The Volkswagen Amarok is built for the best of both worlds: sophisticated enough for a meeting in Umhlanga, but also edgy enough for a trek to the Kruger.
Equipped with a 4Motion system for better handling, vehicle control, and performance, evasive steering assist, 225 kW of power and 425 Nm of torque that makes a steep mountain drive feel like flat road, it can handle whatever the road throws at it. Trust us, we’ve put it to the test.
Check out our current price list and make the Volkswagen Amarok yours. There truly is no greater force.
Why Hoopers? Because We’re Family.
Since Harold Hooper first opened his doors in 1933, Hoopers has been building its legacy. We’ve seen the Durban change, but our "Sales on Service" promise hasn't.
All roads lead to Hoopers.
