Chery Tiggo 8 Pro →
A seven-seat flagship of the volume Chery range, sold in Pro, Pro Max and CSH plug-in hybrid forms since 2022. Families cross-shop it against much pricier metal because of its space and equipment per rand. Depreciation is heavier than mainstream rivals but the transferable warranty helps the ownership case.
Known for: seven seats and spec for less
Haval H6 →
Haval's family SUV has been sold here since late 2017, with the second generation from 2021 and a heavily updated model from mid 2025. It undercuts the Tucson and RAV4 while offering more power and kit, and the range now spans turbopetrol, hybrid and plug-in hybrid power. Depreciation is steeper than the Japanese rivals but used examples are plentiful and cheap.
