The Chinese car brand painting South Africa red with one extremely popular model

• Chery has sold over 2,000 cars every single month in 2026, rivalling established brands such as Mahindra, Kia, and Nissan.
• Chery's sales are driven largely by the popularity of one model: the Chery Tiggo 4, which accounts for 80% of the manufacturer's local sales.
• Chery's growth in South Africa marks a significant achievement for the brand, which initially failed to gain traction in the local market.
