Crossover and standard SUVs have become a staple among South African motorists, with almost every brand offering a model in one or both of these segments \u2013 and some favourites include the Toyota Corolla Cross, Chery Tiggo 4 Pro, and the Nissan Magnite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SUVs are popular in South Africa due to their versatility and practicality on the country\u2019s roads. The diverse terrain and challenging road conditions make SUVs a practical choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The increasing global demand for crossovers and SUVs has led to most manufacturers entering this segment in South Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although there is a grey area between a crossover and an SUV, more than 30 automakers in the country sell one or both body styles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In January, the Toyota Corolla Cross was the highest-selling model with 1,660 customers. The Nissan Magnite and Kia Sonet were also popular, each with over 500 transactions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among premium brands, the Audi Q3 and electric Volvo EX30 were popular choices for affluent buyers, with 103 and 52 purchases, respectively. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Land Rover’s Defender and Range Rover Sport were also popular in the R1-million-plus category, with the former selling to 121 buyers and the latter to 51. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Asian models such as the BAIC Beijing X55, Chery Tiggo 4 Pro, and Haval Jolion were also in high demand, with hundreds of customers for each during the first month of the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, over the years, the demand for notable Chinese brands such as Chery and Haval has increased significantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Naamsa, in 2019, Haval had only sold 872 cars, while Chery wasn\u2019t even on the radar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fast-forward to 2024, Chinese cars are now outselling many traditional and trusted brands such as Kia, Renault, Isuzu, and even BMW and Mercedes-Benz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Naamsa\u2019s data, Havel has sold approximately 19,904 units, representing an increase of over 2,000% from that recorded in 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, these numbers show a stark increase in Haval\u2019s sales since 2019, representing a 198% increase, while Chery\u2019s sales are likely to be in the same region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
