South Africa's 50 top selling vehicles: November 2019
The South African motor industry continues to see-saw, with November 2019 seeing a 5.8 percent decline in overall vehicle sales, versus the same month last year, according to Naamsa. This follows the slight uptick of 0.5 percent registered in October, which is traditionally a strong sales month.
While light commercial vehicle sales plunged in November, with a year-on-year decline of 22.1 percent, passenger car sales showed a slight improvement of 1.3 percent, largely as a result of strong demand from the rental industry. The medium and heavy commercial vehicle segments registered respective declines of 7.6 percent and 1.8 percent.

SA's 12 worst-selling passenger cars (under R500k) of November 2019
The monthly Naamsa stats generally make for rather interesting reading. But, naturally, we tend to focus on the best-performing vehicles in terms of sales. Indeed, we’ve already reported the 10 best-selling passenger vehicles of November 2019, as well as listed the 10 best-selling bakkies in our market for the same period. But now we’ve decided to take a look at the worst-selling passenger car models on our shores.
Of course, we must point out that some automakers (such as Mercedes-Benz) disclose only aggregate sales statistics. Also, take note that – in order to make this list more relevant – we’ve excluded vehicle ranges that start at more than R500 000. Otherwise, this table would be dominated by luxury manufacturers such as Bentley, Ferrari and Maserati, whose high-priced vehicles traditionally sell in tiny numbers.
SA's 13 worst-selling passenger cars (under R500k) of November 2019:
Fiat 500X – 0
Subaru Impreza – 0
Landwind X5 – 1
Abarth 595 – 2
Alfa Romeo Giulietta – 2
GWM M4 – 2
Toyota Prius – 3
Honda Civic – 4
Mahindra Thar – 4
Opel Adam – 5
Mahindra TUV300 – 9
Suzuki Grand Vitara – 9

SA bakkie sales | The Toyota Hilux rules the bakkie segment, again
While new vehicle sales took a bit of a slump in November 2019, the Toyota Hilux retained its position as both South Africa’s best-selling vehicle and best-selling bakkie.
Over the course of the month, Toyota registered 2588 Hilux sales. Despite it being one of the lowest sales figures of the year, the Hilux still bested its rivals.
In second place is the Ford Ranger on 1894 units sold, followed by the Isuzu D-Max on 1307 units. The Nissan NP200, surprisingly, had one of its weakest months of the year after ‘only’ securing 694 signatures.

SEE | The good, bad, and, the ugly of SA's new vehicle sales in November
Over the course of November 2019, new vehicle sales in South Africa had an aggregate of 44 738 units. Though this number may look impressive, it was one of the worst months in 2019 so far.
With only December remaining, we can be assured that the holiday season will bring another downward spiral to the overall sales this year.

Volvo enjoys increase in global sales for 2019
Volvo's recent new product offensive is paying dividend with the brand reporting strong growth over the past year.
Having maintained strong sales through November 2019, Volvo confirmed that volumes are up by 11,6 per cent compared with last year. Since January, the brand has moved 631 213 units; an increase of 8,4 per cent over 2018's sales. This puts Volvo on course to break its current annual global sales record of 642 253 units in 2018.
The brand’s highest selling car has been the XC60 followed by the XC40 and XC90. The V60 estate and S60 sedan are also notable contributors.

okay - see any of the hundreds of people moaning about the corolla and corolla quest being merged.
Why repeat yourself? Did you not get adoration the first time you pointed out this ever so mysterious blunder? Some of us were hoping you found something that was actually interesting.

SA spent R11.2-billion on second-hand cars in November while the Ford Ranger trumps Hilux as the best 'used' bakkie
A total of 38 884 used cars were sold in South Africa in November 2019, with a total listing price of over R11.2 billion.
This compares to 39 167 cars worth R11.3 billion in October 2019.
These figures come from AutoTrader’s Monthly Used Car Sales Data. Given the fact that AutoTrader is the largest automotive digital marketplace in South Africa, it is able to provide invaluable insight into trends within the used car market in this country.
According to George Mienie,
AutoTrader CEO, the 10 most-sold cars always account for a substantial portion of total sales – and November was no exception.
"They accounted for over 11 000 sales, or 28% of total sales. The popular Audi A3 dropped off the top 10 list and was replaced by Ford EcoSport. It was a good month for Ford; other changes on the top 10 list include the Ford Fiesta moving up one position. The Toyota Fortuner moved down one position,” he reveals.
South African car buyers are loyal, and this was manifested once again in November 2019.

These were South Africa's 50 top selling vehicles in August 2019
South Africa’s new vehicle market continued its downward slide in August 2019, with total vehicle sales declining by 3.7 percent versus the same month last year, to total 46 077, according to Naamsa.
Although the overall market was down, it’s worth noting that sales of light commercial vehicles actually increased by 2.9 percent year-on-year, while the medium and heavies gained 14.9 percent and 21.4 percent respectively, but the passenger car market took a big beating, declining by 8.2 percent.

that 2nd vehicle on the list should read Nissan NP200
I had a look at the December 2019 car sales as published by NAAMsa and we had a brief discussion about Toyota sales.
The Rav is really smoking. 496 units
Kuga moved 65, Hyundai Tucson 378, Kia sportage 99, Mazda CX5 sold 277 and Honda CR-V only 28 units.
Everything appears to be going right for Toyota. Increased sales by 1898 units over December 2018

Used Car Sales | Here's which vehicles sold best in December 2019
2020 may have just begun, but December 2019 gave us a little something to remember it by. In this regard, here are which used cars sold in the greatest numbers.
AutoTrader reports that for December 2019, the Volkswagen Polo was the best selling used vehicle in the final month of 2019.
And while the total sales figures are not reported, we do know that the average price for the Polo was R209 435, and average year and mileage equates to a 2016 model with 57 338km on the odometer.
The Ford Ranger was the top used-bakkie; also a 2016 model with 86 044km covered. Average price for the Ranger is R304 998.
Other noticeable contenders on the list include the Mercedes-Benz C-Class (2012, R389 870, 78 474km) in third place, and Toyota Yaris (2017, R178 179, 45 474km) in tenth place.

In what is no surprise, the Toyota Hilux ended the last month of 2019 as the best-selling bakkie in South Africa.
The Hilux, the perennial front runner when it comes to sales in SA, ended the month on 3 080 units sold. This is well-clear of the second-placed Ford Ranger on 1724 units.
