READ | No new Hilux model, but Toyota adds extra features to SA's most popular bakkie range
Of this number, 2 676 found new homes, 283 of these were purchased by the government, and 260 went to the rental market. But once again, it highlights the undeniable brand loyalty Toyota has in South Africa - even when there are brand-new vehicles to choose from with more tech and features. The Hilux will ultimately remain the bakkie king in our land.
Nissan sold 1 873 bakkies in February; the NP200 half-tonner is still selling well locally, moving 1 292 units, while the Navara found 581 new owners.Mahindra is up next with 886 bakkies sold last month: 42 Bolero models and 844 Scorpio Pik Ups. Chinese automaker Haval is a serious contender in the passenger car market, but it also has healthy sales in the LCV segment. February saw 115 GWM Steed models sold and 245 P-Series bakkies.
Jac Motors sold 73 vehicles: 30 X-Series models and 43 T-Series units. Mitsubishi Motors sold 70 of its Triton bakkie - one of the most underrated vehicles in our local market, in my books.Volkswagen sold 58 Amarok bakkies. While these numbers have dwindled in recent months, it's important to note that the new, next-generation model will be launching within the next few weeks.
The Stellantis Group sold 29 units of the beautiful Landtrek bakkie, while Jeep moved 13 models off showroom floors of its R1.3 million Gladiator Rubicon vehicle. Mazda sold seven BT-50 models.In times of uncertainty you need journalism you can trust.
