Market insights
The "Big Three" hierarchy: The Hilux remains the king, but the battle for second place is incredibly tight. Ford’s Ranger managed to edge out the Isuzu D-MAX by just 140 units this month.
The Mahindra milestone: Mahindra has firmly established itself as the best of the rest. Breaking the 1 000-unit mark with the Scorpio Pik-Up shows how much trust local drivers now trust this value-for-money alternative to the Big Three.
Workhorse dominance: Toyota’s total lead is bolstered significantly by the Hi-Ace and the Land Cruiser PU. While the Hilux is the headline act, these specialised products provide a volume cushion that other brands simply can't match.
The newcomer watch: Keep an eye on the Kia Tasman (1 unit sold). While it’s just a single registration for now (likely a local homologation unit), its arrival signals Kia's intent to finally enter the South African bakkie fray.
