South Africa’s Motor Dealers Buoyed By Ongoing Strong Sales
Volumes of automobile sales were up by several thousand units compared to March 2025, and even a couple of thousand higher than February 2026.
This is quite remarkable and suggests that strong demand in the entry-level market played a key role in supporting overall sales.
Retail dealer channels accounted for 88.7% of total vehicle sales, with 5.5% going to rental companies, 3.2% to government, and 2.6% to industry corporate fleets.
The passenger car market, at 39 370 units, was 18.2% higher than in March 2025, while light commercial vehicle sales of 15 557 units were 15.7% up on the corresponding month last year. There were also welcome improvements in the medium truck segment, up 14%, and in heavy trucks and buses, up 14.5%.
