South Africa Top 40 Car/PU Models : 2023 (Jan-Jun)










The RSA is a Toyota stronghold. It's based around - but by no means totally reliant on - the Hilux. The Ford Ranger comes next before the Corolla Cross and Isuzu D-Max pickup trucks or bakkies as they are called here. VW gets a couple of entries in the top ten, the older version Polo and the newer one. Renault has used Dacia sourced models and some others from India with success.

NZ Top 30 Car/LCV Sales : 2023 (Jan-Jun)



















Ford was short of stock for the new Ranger but its tenth year of outselling the Toyota Hilux looks likely. The Suzuki Swift has been a strong selling car for years here and it's currently the top selling car. The BYD Atto only arrived here last year but is already doing well. Electric models seem to break down brand loyalties, presumably because no electric cars have a long history to instill particular brand confidence. The Land Rover Defender is selling well here.
