All-new Toyota Corolla Cross vaults into third place in its first month on sale
The top three selling vehicles were all Toyotas, led by the Hilux, Hi-Ace and Corolla Cross .Last month’s interest rate hike of 25 basis points failed to put the brakes on new-vehicle sales in SA, which continued their gradual recovery in November.
The upswing was largely driven by 27,828 passenger cars finding buyers last month, a 9.4% gain over November last year, while bakkies and light commercials dipped 0.8% to 11,156 units with the Ford Ranger, a major player, undergoing a full model change. Overall, dealers had another good selling month, with Toyota showing the highest growth on units by 1,964 units , Suzuki 489 units and Porsche 58 from the previous month.
