Three times the joy for Toyota
Toyota won three categories in the 2021 South African Guild of Motoring Journalists (SAGMJ) Car of the Year competition.
There is plenty excitement at Halfway Toyota Shelly Beach after Toyota South Africa Motors (TSAM) won three categories in the 2021 South African Guild of Motoring Journalists (SAGMJ) Car of the Year competition.
In the Budget classification, the Starlet came out tops, with the legendary Land Cruiser Prado scoring the number-one spot in the Adventure SUV category.
Meanwhile crowd favourite, and perhaps South Africa’s bakkie of choice, the Hilux won Double Cab of the year.
The Hilux also claimed second place overall, beating 21 other finalists across the nine categories.
This competition was open to vehicles that were launched in South Africa between November 2019 and April 2021.
Toyota’s category winners, the Prado, Starlet and the Hilux have all been performing remarkably well on the local sales charts.
The stylish and urban chic Toyota Starlet is sure to turn heads as soon as it hits the street.
Built for both space and fun, the energetic 1.4 litre hatchback is both economical yet powerful.
On the other hand, the Hilux is the ultimate workhorse and has remained a segment leader for 48 years of the 50 plus years that it has been in South Africa.
Its advanced 4×4 features and bold exterior styling is perfect for anyone who seeks adventure or simply wants to get the job done.
Ideal for work, play and everything in between, the Hilux is more capable than ever and never shies away from a challenge.
Meanwhile, the Land Cruiser Prado will have you releasing your inner explorer.
This 4×4 boasts an impressive power output thanks to its turbo diesel and six-speed automatic transmission on all models.
The Prado is equipped to explore all terrains and comes with a host of safety as well as 4×4 functionalities.
The fact that Toyota has won three categories with vastly different models is testament to its diverse offering, as it provides customers with as many options as possible.
All three vehicles amongst a wide range of others are in stock and available for viewing at Halfway Toyota Shelly Beach or Halfway Toyota Oribi Plaza.
The experienced, friendly and helpful sales executives will leave no stone unturned when it comes to finding the perfect vehicle to suit your style and budget.
