We celebrated many events this month such as hosting the 25-year birthday celebration of our dealership, displaying 25 Used Car vehicles on a promotion. In the time of Covid, we are very restricted, so we followed protocol and our vehicles were parked outside in our parking bays for clients to come and view. Balloons and banners were the call of the day with our Gazebo nicely situated between all.
Youth Day was our next celebration and we decided that even though Covid was active, we were going to host a small braai for the people working that day, we advertised on Facebook that we would be open until 1.00 for anybody who would like to come and pay a visit. Feet were few but spirits were high, and we kept the beat going.
The famous Father’s Day, events at this stage are now very limited so we decided to do a great special on the New Ford Ranger with awesome prizes to be won. Posts went out on Facebook and a small braai was arranged on the floor, motivation and enthusiasm were very evident.
And finally, it is month-end, it is Saturday, and the staff are ready to take up one last challenge, to convert the last couple of deals in the pipeline into sales. The month is finally over and all we can say is WELL DONE!

Ever unique, ever distinctive, ever detailed is just some of the keywords that best describe the beauty of this model. From picking up kids at school to that weekend dirt-road adventure, the New Ford Everest Sport makes any task easy and comfortable.
So, what’s different from the “normal” Ford Everest that we all love? The Everest sport comes with a new unique mesh grille, partial leather seats with custom blue stitching, 20inch black alloy wheels, reverse camera, voice control features, soft-touch leather on the dashboard, SYNC3 infotainment system complete with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto and so much more. Something else that you may find different with this model, is the lettering of the word “Everest” which is placed on the nose of the bonnet.

The MORE You know the further you go, and that’s why we at CMH Kempster Ford Hatfield believe sharing how amazing the All New Ford Figo Freestyle is, will give you a better perspective when you book your test drive soon.
Let’s start with what makes this freestyle different from its sisters Figo Ambiente, Figo Trend, Figo Blu etc. Definitely its look and feel both on the interior and exterior is the first noticeable difference. The Figo freestyle could be classified as a competent “crossover” given its increased 16mm higher ground clearance and bolder exterior. This added ground clearance is not just for show, as it gives the Figo Freestyle the ability to climb kerbs and makes gravel roads a breeze to manoeuvre through. With this model being a tad bit higher, it also means your visibility is increased thus giving you a better sitting position.
The Ford Figo freestyle has bigger wheels, roof rails for added practicality and skid plates which protect the vehicle’s underside. The standard Ford Figo produces 88Kw with the Ford Figo freestyle topping it with an extra 3KW at 91Kw/150Nm and drives front wheels with its 5 speed manual gearbox. Our customers at CMH Kempster Ford Hatfield are often impressed with the fuel efficiency on our Ford Figos, and the Ford Figo freestyle is no different.
Ford’s SYNC Infotainment and connectivity package comes standard in the Titanium model. Making it perfect for the tech-obsessed generation whilst offering Android Auto and Car Play compatibility, Bluetooth, audio streaming and a pair of USB Ports that are illuminated. The SYNC touch Screen has great graphics with an intuitive menu system. Once your phone is plugged in you can enjoy navigation services like Google Maps.
