South Africa’s cheapest cars are in high demand because consumers who are struggling to make ends meet feel pessimistic about the economy.
We have compiled a list of the ten most affordable new passenger cars in Mzansi. Starting at R149, 900 and going all the way up to R176, 999, it’s a hefty price range.
The list consists of 1 Renault, 2 BAICs, 2 Mahindra’s, and 5 Suzuki’s. All ten vehicles are compact hatchbacks equipped with air conditioning, and nine of them use conventional gear shifters.
Cheaper car safety is always a concern for consumers. None of the 10 vehicles we’ve chosen have been evaluated by the AA’s #Safer Cars for Africa programme, therefore they don’t have a star rating. However, they all come standard with anti-lock brakes (ABS) and electronic brake-force distribution (EBD) systems.
We have calculated the monthly payments for each of the 10 loans. Financing for 60 months at the prime interest rate (7.75%) is based on the quoted price for that model with a 10% down payment. The setup and administration costs are not included.
