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
Mitsubishi Outlander Sport →
Sold as the Xforce in other markets, this Indonesian-built crossover went on sale in January 2025 as the replacement for the ASX. All versions use a 77 kW 1.5 petrol with a CVT and front-wheel drive. Pricing targets the Corolla Cross and the Chinese brands, and it is still too new for a resale track record.
Known for: the xforce renamed for south africa
