Many South Africans are going wild for this Toyota Corolla Cross, but AutoTrader users have shown substantially higher interest in another hybrid model.
from the National Automobile Association of South Africa showed a surge in hybrid car sales in the country in 2022.
The popular online vehicle classifieds platform collected responses from over 2,400 visitors to compile a report on trends and perceptions in the local hybrid-buying market. When it came to the most-viewed models, it was interesting that the highly-popular and comparatively affordable Toyota Corolla Cross came in second.
Further supporting this conclusion is that another sports car — the Ferrari SF90 — was the third most-viewed hybrid, despite being in very short supply locally. Whereas the i8 accounted for 26.6% of all the enquiries among the top 10 most-searched-for cars, the Corolla Cross claimed 23.3%.Aside from the Corolla Cross, it also offers the Prius and hybrid versions of the Corolla sedan, RAV4 SUV, and Yaris hatchback in South Africa.AutoTrader also asked the survey participants various questions regarding their interest in hybrid cars.That is unsurprising, given that petrol and diesel prices have floated well above R20 per litre in the past few months.
