South Africa has one of the widest varieties of new cars on the market of any country in the world, providing many a budget-friendly option.
Of the 45-plus automakers selling their rides within our borders, over 2,500 individual specifications are available catering to the price-conscious, the ultra-rich, and everyone in between.
From as little as R169,900, you can get something like the Suzuki S-Presso which sports blocky “micro SUV” proportions and a frugal 1.0-litre motor. Or maybe, you’d like a more premium hatchback, in which case Audi’s A1 can be had for R475,400.
A well-equipped crossover can possibly be on your list, too, and if so, the R308,900 Chery Tiggo 4 Pro will suffice, or the R311,400 Ford EcoSport.
For a bakkie, you can look towards GWM’s R299,950 Steed 5, or even the R357,300 Isuzu D-Max Gen 6, and if you want a sedan, options include the R209,900 Proton Saga and R236,600 Honda Amaze.
From China’s BYD, even an electric car is available as an entry-level model in the form of the R768,000 Atto 3.
If a set of high-end wheels is more your style, Bentley can be of service with its V8-powered Flying Spur that goes for a cool R4.4 million, or you can look towards Italy’s pride and joy, Ferrari, whose most affordable unit is the beautiful Roma Spider at R6.3 million.
A super SUV is on the cards, too, this being none other than the pioneer of the segment, the R4.5-million Lamborghini Urus S.
