The safest cars under R200,000 in South Africa

The Peugeot 108 is the safest affordable car in South Africa, according to the AA’s 2020 Entry-Level Vehicle Safety Report (ELVS).

The report, which assesses the safety levels on entry-level vehicles in South Africa, found that safety features remain a low priority on entry-level vehicles in South Africa.

“The large vehicle population and high road fatality figure point to a need for extensive road safety education and the need for better road safety management in the country,” said the AA.

“They also point to a need for consumers to prioritise safety in the vehicles they purchase. The ELVS Report should serve as a basis for their research.”

Points were awarded to vehicles for each of the active and passive safety features they have, as well as for vehicles that have been crash-tested under the NCAP system – in this case, Global NCAP’s #SaferCarsforAfrica programme.

Citroen and Peugeot to cut city cars, report claims

Tightening emissions laws and rising development costs apparently lead to withdrawal from A-segment

Citroën and Peugeot will end production of the C1 and 108 and withdraw from the traditional city car market, a report suggests.

News agency Reuters, citing three sources close to the brand, claims a decision to leave the A-segment petrol car market has been taken ahead of the PSA Group's merger with Fiat Chrysler Automobiles. No timeline for their removal has been given.

Costly development of engines and exhaust filtration systems to meet ever-tightening emissions laws are making value offerings increasingly difficult to justify. Manufacturers such as Ford and Vauxhall have removed their city cars from the market, while the future of the the Seat Mii, Skoda Citigo and Volkswagen Up trio looks bleak.

PSA has already sold its stake in its joint venture with Toyota, through which the C1 and 108 have been related to the Toyota Aygo and built alongside it in the Czech Republic since 2005.

who knows, if they steal traffic lights, they will steal that as well,
criminals in SA aren't picky, besides the scrap metal dealer wont care.

No idea I'm afraid.

I don't get gravel bikes either. If you have plenty of sand a round then a fat bike makes sense. But to me gravel bikes are a little too hipster. My brother did Eroica which is proper old road bikes on dirt - segue slightly back on topic it is how I got this lovely Peugeot from him.

Anyways, today with nothing else to ride I just so much enjoyed riding a bike that was built for people as tall (and now fat) as I am. My word, this felt so good.

Peugeot 108 and Citroen C1 face the axe, but Toyota’s Aygo will be renewed

The long-standing city car partnership between Peugeot parent company PSA and Toyota is set to come to and end, with inside sources telling Reuters that the Peugeot 108 and Citroen C1 are set to be discontinued.

The source also said that there would be no replacements for the French city cars as the carmaker planned to vacate the A segment business altogether. According to Reuters, the cost of meeting modern emissions standards is pushing up the cost of entry-level cars to the point where they are hard to justify economically.

However, another PSA source implied that the upcoming merger with Fiat Chrysler could open the door to other small car projects further down the line, particularly with Fiat remaining committed to models like the Panda and 500, the latter of which is becoming electric-only in its second generation.

It should be a similar story for the Volkswagen Up, with many sources abroad having reported that the budget hatch is looking set to be replaced by a battery-powered MEB-based car called the ID.1.

Peugeot 108 And Citroen C1 To Be Discontinued: Report

This decision comes following PSA’s agreement to leave the Czech joint venture with Toyota which manufactures the two minicars alongside the Toyota Aygo.

Peugeot 108 to leave the tracks.
This must be a great blow for the South African Peugeot dealers.
There are quite a few sources who have reported on this.
I also feel quite sorry for the owners of Peugeot 108; their car's value has now gone up in smoke.

Please take note that the service plan has been reduced to 3 years / 45 000km. You might still find one or two at dealers with the 5 year / 100 000km service plan

good for the second hand market though,
might be able to get one as the parts are identical to the Toyota that will keep going.

no rental companies use these cars? as then there would be quite a lot floating around.

There is quite a lot of them on a used car market, the previous generations.

still hold their values quite well I see,
maybe this 2nd gen ones will do the same?

but no rental fleets had them, thats very strange,
as usually those are bestsellers and maintain value very well.

Only the Toyota to be honest, not so much with the others, dealers might sell it for a premium but you know they are not going to give you a decent offer for a Citroën or Peugeot.

Myself & @Rhein never see eye to eye. In my opinion take his comment about "value gone up in smoke" with a massive pinch of salt.

A car doesn't drastically loose value suddenly based on the announcement that there will be no future model line.

Kuga-gate fire & death definitely, no model line replacement = nope.
