The most popular VW cars in South Africa

Naamsa’s new vehicle sales report for February 2022 shows that the VW Polo continues to dominate in South Africa.

This is true for all versions of the model, with the Polo, Polo Sedan, and Polo Vivo all achieving strong sales numbers last month.

The Polo was closely followed by the T-Cross, which has quickly become a favourite among local drivers since its launch in late 2019.

Other models which sold well in February were the Golf 8 GTI and the T-Roc – both of which are aimed at a higher-end buyer than above-mentioned siblings – and the local favourite, the VW Kombi.

The Amarok, Caddy, Tiguan, and Touareg also put in an appearance during the period.
