Publised : November 21, 2013

Popularity of imports in South Africa is growing; as such a lot of the most popular imports into South Africa are Japanese imports, here are the top 3 Japanese car imports and top 5 Japanese truck imports during the year 2014:

Cars

1         Toyota Corolla/Auris/Quest

2         Toyota Etios

3         Toyota Fortuner

Trucks

4         Toyota Hilux

5         Nissan NP200

6         Toyota Quantum

7         Nissan NP300

8         Toyota Land Cruiser PU

Toyota is the top selling car company in South Africa as seen with how many times a Toyota made vehicle appears on the 2 lists above.
In January to November 2014 Toyota had sold almost 28,000 Hilux vehicles. Open back trucks known locally as “bakkies”  account for half of the country’s top-selling vehicles falling into the utility category, including the Toyota Hilux, Ford Ranger, Nissan NP200, Chevrolet Utility and the Isuzu KB.

Many of these popular models are available on my personal favourite importer www.realmotor.jp – feel free to check it out for yourself.
