JAC T-Series wins fight for scraps underneath SA’s top bakkie table
Toyota Hilux goes from strength to strength while the Nissan Navara continues its slide.
In July, the Toyota Hilux maintained its position at the top of South Africa's bakkie sales, with 4,189 units sold, more than double its nearest rival, the Ford Ranger's 2,063 units sold. The Isuzu D-Max, Mahindra Pik-Up, and GWM P-Series rounded out the top five, while the battle for sixth place saw the Toyota Land Cruiser PU outselling the VW Amarok by 465 to 352 units.
The JAC T-Series emerged as a major climber, securing eighth place with 254 sales, just ahead of the Navara and Foton Tunland with 216 and 209 sales, respectively. Peugeot's Landtrek, which sold 165 units, was the only model to miss the top 10, while the BYD Shark continued its consistent sales with 122 units sold. The LDV T60's sales of 118 were more than double its June total, while the JMC Vigus, a new entrant from China, achieved 105 sales, marking a respectable start for the company's latest addition to the bakkie market.
