Cherished certified pre-owned programme gives used car buyers peace of mind.
With a brand-new Chery Tiggo 4 Pro LiT retailing for only R279 900, making it one of the most affordable SUVs on the market already, Chery South Africa will be encouraging more buyers into the brand with even better deals courtesy of their just launched certified, pre-owned, vehicle programme called Cherished.
Every certified, pre-owned Chery Tiggo sold through Cherished will deliver the reliability, quality, and peace of mind that owners have come to expect from the brand. These vehicles will come with a myriad benefits, the most important of which is that they will retain the remainder of their 10-year/one-million-kilometre engine warranty.
Premium pre-owned Chery Tiggo SUVs
Inflation continues to impact new car pricing in the local vehicle market, making affordability a critical concern for buyers. Because of this, many buyers are finding themselves in a position where they must make sacrifices when it comes to replacing their vehicles. And many opt to trade down instead of maintaining or upgrading their existing vehicle.

Furthermore, to qualify as a Cherished vehicle, the vehicle needs to have been maintained within the Chery dealer network, ensuring that customers have their pick of the bunch.
Like their new counterparts, certified, pre-owned, Chery Tiggos are packed with the latest technology and comfort features like Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Many of their vehicles outpacing more expensive models in terms of standard equipment.
Additionally, buyers can extend their service or maintenance plans, providing further peace of mind. Even for those who hold onto their cars for longer.

SA car sales race ahead, but exports show warning light

New car sales roared back in June, but exports wobbled for big players like VW and Toyota. Chinese brands continue to chip away at market share. Naamsa's latest numbers reveal a rebound with a risky undercurrent. The auto industry in South Africa has faced an unexpectedly challenging year – US President Trump's stop-start tariff brinkmanship caused much anxiety, and with the industry reliant on both local purchasing power as well as export demand, global uncertainty strongly affects a sector responsible for 5.2% of our country's GDP (3.2% manufacturing, 2% retail). However, the industry appears to be surprisingly resilient according to the latest year-on-year data provided by the National Association of Automobile Manufacturers of South Africa (Naamsa). Issued on 1 July, the data points to surprising resilience and sustained consumer demand, with new vehicle sales up 18.7% year on year, driven primarily by passenger car demand. Read more: Why South Africa's EV ambitions are still stuck in low gear 'This success was underpinned by favourable economic fundamentals, including interest rate cuts and a still-benign inflation backdrop,' said Naamsa CEO Mikel Mabasa in a press release noting the results. Affordability remains key, driven by an influx of cost-effective Chinese-made vehicles with competitive after-sales deals. Regarding the export markets for South Africa's production, despite an increase in global political and trade uncertainty, the industry is still growing, but is reflecting the changes that external influences have placed on the industry. 'South Africa's automotive industry has long relied on a thriving export engine to sustain production volumes and attract investment,' Mabasa added. Top 15 vehicle brand sales: Domestic sales surge, export slip The key takeaway from the data is that domestic sales have surged (total local sales climbed to 47,294 units in June 2025), an 18.7% jump year on year from 2024. Passenger vehicles – that is, normal cars – did the heavy lifting: 32,570 units sold, up 21.7% from June 2024. Light commercials (bakkies and minibuses) rose 14.9% year on year for the month but remain slightly down (-1.7%) for the year to date. Exports paint a more complex picture: passenger car exports dipped 4.1% year on year, but light commercial exports jumped 44.5%, driven by batch shipments. Heavy truck and bus exports stayed mixed, showing the fragility of SA's export backbone. Big brands strong, new players rising Toyota stayed firmly in pole position: 11,690 local sales and 4,247 exports. VW Group's export dominance (12,159 units) again outpaced local sales (4,973). Ford pushed 3,058 units locally, with 7,382 exported. BMW shipped 6,744 units abroad despite only quarterly reporting. Chinese brands, GWM and the Chery umbrella (Chery, Omoda, Jaecoo and Jetour), which have increasingly been seen on South African roads, now cluster mid-table for local sales, reflecting consumer demand for affordable SUVs. Commercial vehicle sales hint at uneven economic recovery. Medium and heavy trucks jumped for the month (up 24.7% and 40.7% respectively), but year-to-date heavy truck and bus sales remain below 2024 levels (-3.5% YTD). The softness ties to mining decline, stalled infrastructure rollouts and port jams. SA vehicle exports for June: What it means for SA's auto playbook Passenger sales strength suggests either a resilient middle-class confidence or rising consumer debt appetite, despite sticky interest rates. With the auto industry a top industrial exporter, export softness is a flashing warning light. If global demand dips or logistics choke, local jobs and output feel it first. 'Strong consumer demand has helped the sector deliver impressive growth amid global turbulence,' said Mabasa. The electric pivot remains elusive. Apart from BMW and Mercedes-Benz's high-value exports, the domestic NEV market is embryonic. Chinese brands could disrupt that space fast. DM

But charging is said to be convenient with a full recharge taking 45 minutes to one hour using a public DC fast charger. Or between four and eight hours when plugged into an AC wall box charger at home.
