Ford Territory →
The nameplate has had two unrelated lives in South Africa: an Australian-built six cylinder wagon sold from 2005 to 2008, and since 2024 a Chinese-built family SUV with a 1.8 turbo petrol engine. The current car undercuts the Tucson and Tiguan on price while offering more cabin space. It sells steadily rather than strongly, so depreciation tracks the mainstream SUV pack.
Known for: value-priced family suv, two unrelated eras
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.
