South Africa's perianal top-three bakkies ended the record month as the country's overall best-selling vehicles.
South Africa’s monthly vehicle sales registered more than 50 000 unit sales in July with a total offset of 51 383, its highest since October 2019.
In addition to cracking the 50 000 unit mark, the July figures by the National Association of Automobile Manufacturers of South Africa (Naamsa) represented an uptake of 15.6% on July last year’s 44 452.

“We are encouraged by the sustained positive momentum in new vehicle sales, which clearly underscores the resilience of South African consumers and the strategic importance of a stable macro-economic policy environment,” Naamsa CEO Mikel Mabasa said.
“This performance reflects more than short-term consumption – it signals the sector’s confidence in the country’s broader economic trajectory”.
