This week on #AutoCentral, SA’s No.1 motoring podcast, our anchor George Mienie and co-host Wandile Sishi investigate the popularity of Far Eastern brands in Africa, and speculate on ways in which Chinese car manufacturers are chipping away at the Japanese leadership on our continent.

 

Sean Nurse then joins the conversation to review one of China’s most-compelling offerings yet: the stylish Haval Jolion. This new SUV is proving to be a smash hit in South Africa, and for very good reason! Finally, the team answers your pressing motoring questions. Today’s topics include the impact of a car’s first registration year on its resale value, and what to do if your new car isn’t the model that the dealership advertised.
