SA’s 10 most popular Chinese vehicles in 2025

Having secured 4th position on the list of SA’s best-selling passenger vehicles for 2025, the Chery Tiggo 4 remained the local market’s most popular Chinese vehicle last year. In the end, sales of this crossover increased 39.0% year on year to 18 178 units (though note this number includes both the Tiggo 4 Pro and the Tiggo Cross, with Chery SA now reporting only a combined figure).

The Haval Jolion – which placed 8th on the list of SA’s top-selling passenger cars overall – was the only other Chinese vehicle to crack 5 figures in 2025, with local registrations increasing 47.7% year on year to 13 607 units. That put it well ahead of the 3rd-placed Omoda C5, despite sales of the latter rocketing 271.4% (admittedly calculated off a low base, considering Omoda began reporting sales to Naamsa only midway through 2024) year on year to 8 475 units.
