According to the National Association of Automobile Manufacturers of South Africa (NAAMSA), Toyota, Volkswagen, and Suzuki now hold the first three places among South Africa's top automakers for both overall sales and sales of passenger cars.On the other hand, data shows that in order to displace more well-known brands, newcomers like Chery and Haval are making their claims.Based on statistics from the NAAMSA report, these are the top 10 automakers and their best-selling models in South Africa by sales (for May 2023).
