THE FUSE

There is a displacement happening in the South African automotive market. According to Naamsa’s April report, passenger vehicle sales across the Chery manufacturing portfolio (Chery – 2,462; Jetour – 1,804; Omoda and Jaecoo – 1,804) amounted to 5,649 cars. There were 15 Jetour models marked as “export” sales, but that is a rounding error on a local market performance that would rank second on the sales list, wedged between Toyota (9,842) and Suzuki (5,363).
