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.
For passenger cars and light commercials, sales were +1% in June but-1% for the YTD. Not much change there but increasing interest rates are likely to keep things subdued, depending on how that pans out for the year. The 'Diff' column shows market share change, comparing half of 2023 with a full 2022.
Toyota is well out in front, with share up a full 1.2%. VW regressed with 1.5% share surrendered so is losing ground to the leader. Suzuki was up a half a percent in market share so it is getting closer to the second spot.
Chinese brands aren't that common, Haval and GWM settled and Chery has arrived with immediate success. After a failed previous attempt, it should do better this time around but here that takes the brand will be interesting. It is already in the top ten.
Getting sales statistics from the RSA isn't easy and this is as close as I can get it. A few premium marques don't report sales so they are missing due to their choice.
