Chery Tiggo 4 Pro →
The Tiggo 4 Pro spearheaded Chery's 2021 return and has often been the best-selling Chinese car in South Africa, regularly cracking the overall top ten. Buyers get a lot of equipment for budget-hatch money plus a 10-year/1-million km engine warranty for the first owner. Resale is far better than old-era Chery but still trails Toyota and VW rivals.
Known for: kit-for-money value and long warranties
Haval Jolion →
The Jolion is the car that made Haval mainstream in South Africa, regularly appearing in the top ten best-seller lists since 2021. Buyers get far more equipment than similarly priced rivals, though resale values trail the Toyota and VW alternatives. The original car remains on sale alongside the newer Jolion Pro as a cheaper entry point.
Known for: big spec for corolla cross money

Depreciation is the biggest ownership cost. The Chery Tiggo 4 Pro loses about R 98 396 over three years and the Haval Jolion loses about R 127 215. Fuel, insurance and servicing can narrow or widen that, but the depreciation gap is the number to start from.
