Jetour hits a new volume record in South Africa in February.

It’s an incredible 17th straight month of year-on-year gains in South Africa with February volumes up 11.4% to 53,455. This is believed to be the highest February volume in South African history, eclipsing the previous best of 53,220 hit in February 2013. The year-to-date tally is up 9.9% to 103,976. However exports crash -28.1% to just 24,221.

Toyota (+4.5%) trails the market but remains by far the most popular manufacturer in the country with 23% share. It is followed by Suzuki (+8.6%) and the VW Group (-6.7%), in difficulty. Hyundai (+2%) and Ford (+1%) are muted and complete the Top 5. We have a raft of great gainers below, including Chinese Jetour (+266.9%) – reaching a new volume record at 1,673 and equalling its best ever share at 3.1%, Omoda+Jaecoo (+68%), GWM (+52.9%) and Chery (+20.2%). Mahindra (+24%) and Kia (+17.1%) also impress.

Model-wise, the Toyota Hilux (+25.3%) cements its lead to 6.3% share, with the #2 this month being the Suzuki Swift (+6.7%), up two spots on January. The Ford Ranger (-3.6%) and VW Polo Vivo (-7.4%) are knocked down one spot each to #3 and #4. The Toyota Vitz (+117.6%) and Chery Tiggo 4 Pro (+57.7%) sport the biggest lifts in the Top 10 and rank #9 and #6 respectively.
