3 hrs agoThe South African new‑car market continued its remarkable growth in March 2026, with total sales hitting 58,060 units — the strongest March performance since 2007. At the forefront stood Toyota, dominating with 13,323 sales, more than double that of any other brand and proving once again why it’s the country’s favorite.
Interestingly, Volkswagen surged ahead of Suzuki to grab second place, selling 5,574 vehicles compared with Suzuki’s 5,047 — a notable twist considering Suzuki has often held the runner‑up spot.
The big story this month was Isuzu’s breakout performance. After typically sitting outside the top five, it jumped up to claim fourth place with 3,513 units, beating out major players like Ford and Hyundai. This surge highlights growing demand for robust commercial and utility vehicles among South African buyers.
Behind the leading pack, Chinese brands like GWM and Chery continued to strengthen their foothold, with respectable sales figures of 2,777 and 2,390 units respectively, while Mahindra secured ninth place and Jetour rounded out the top‑10.
Overall, this mix of Japanese stalwarts, European names, rising Asian competitors, and utility‑focused brands paints a diverse and dynamic picture of South Africa’s auto market in 2026.
