Sales in June 2016, South Africa: Toyota Fortuner breaks the mold; BMW fourth brand

During last June registrations of new vehicles in South Africa fell by 11.7% compared with the same month last year, reaching a total volume of 29,070 units delivered to new customers.

Glancing at the accrued year, registrations of cars and crossovers in South Africa recorded a drop of 10.4% compared to the first half of 2015, reaching a volume of 180,690 units (just over 20,000 units less).

Without commercial vehicles Volkswagen is the company that has sold more units in South Africa, remaining well above Toyota. If you include pickups and light commercial vehicles, which is the Japanese sticks out his chest with well higher figures.

Chinese firms, relatively popular years ago have ended crashing in South Africa and have not reached the expected success. Currently only Great Wall, Landwind, Geely and Chery still standing with a small impact while commercial manage to make a little more noise.

For two generations models of Volkswagen Polo still on top, demonstrating that a successful and good price range is highly valued by users. However surprising are the figures of the Toyota Fortuner which has climbed to become the third most demanded model.

As in South Africa there are many differences between classes, sales of high-end vehicles are quite important in relation to generalist firms and there is BMW 3 Series in the fifth, and the Mercedes C Class seventh. The Audi A4 is also very popular even with the generational change is still very low.

Urban vehicles have not been particularly important in South Africa but in recent years have been gaining ground thanks to the introduction of the Toyota Aygo, Kia Picanto, Hyundai i10 and Grand i10, VW Up !, etc. Chevrolet Spark dominates the accumulated in the year and is content with the second position of the segment in June.

Additionally, if you need to purchase some car accessories, you could choose Banggood, which is one of the wholesale platform to provide you affordable prices. Such as breathable seat cushion, cheap fm radio, etc.
