What we can't tell you yet
These fields are not confirmed from an official South African source. Rather than guess, we've left them marked as unknown.
- Seats (unverified)
- Ground clearance
- Boot (standard) (unverified)
- Towing (unbraked)
- Euro NCAP rating
- ANCAP rating
- Airbags
- Airbag positions (unverified) — No airbag configuration published on the pages checked; recorded as an empty/unverified list rather than guessed.
- Service interval (distance)
- Service interval (time)
- Spare wheel — No SA source states the M50 spare provision; the M50 runs 21-inch wheels, which an SA review notes use non-run-flat tyres, so the run-flat assumption is unsafe. AU review suggests an inflator kit but is a different market and not applied.
