While it has become next to impossible to buy a new car in South Africa for less than R100,000, prices for the popular suburban utility vehicle<\/span> have also climbed steadily, leaving the lower-end of the market open to new, cheaper entrants.<\/p>\n

According to the latest statistics released by Naamsa, more established names like the Land Rover Discovery, Toyota Land Cruiser 200 and Toyota Prado continue to dominate the luxury SUV segment.<\/p>\n

However in the lower-end segment, names such as “Mahindra”, “Chery” and “JMC” are beginning to gain traction, while also filling an affordability gap in the market.<\/p>\n

BusinessTech looked at the cheapest utility vehicles for sale in South Africa right now.<\/p>\n

\n

The cheapest variants of specific car models have been selected so as to cut back on repetition.\u00a0<\/em>All prices were sourced from\u00a0Duoporta<\/a><\/strong>. <\/em><\/p>\n

In compiling the list we followed Duoporta’s classification of an SUV as well as Mirriam Webster’s definition which is “a rugged automotive vehicle similar to a station wagon but built on a light-truck chassis”.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n
