2 hrs agoA powerful shift is underway in South Africa’s automotive landscape, and at the center of it is the rapid rise of Chinese carmaker Chery. Once a relatively unknown entrant, the brand has quickly transformed into a major force, challenging long-established players and redefining what consumers expect from modern vehicles.
What sets Chery apart is its ability to adapt. While many traditional manufacturers were slow to pivot, Chery embraced innovation early—especially in the fast-growing new-energy vehicle (NEV) space. This forward-thinking approach has allowed the company to ride the wave of global change while positioning itself as a leader in the future of mobility.
Its growth has been nothing short of remarkable. With over one million vehicles sold globally in 2023 and millions more produced since, Chery has combined scale with strategy. In South Africa, it has strengthened its presence by establishing local subsidiaries, enabling it to respond quickly to consumer needs and dealer feedback.
The timing is crucial. As imports begin to outweigh locally produced vehicles and government policy leans toward cleaner technologies, Chery is stepping in with solutions aligned to both economic and environmental priorities.
In a market undergoing rapid transformation, Chery is not just participating—it’s leading a new era of competition, innovation, and accessibility.
