What do women want in a car? These are the brands and vehicle types that females prefer in SA
Research shows a higher percentage of women are financing cars. Image: Newspress Toyota has overtaken Volkswagen as the most popular vehicle brand for female new vehicle buyers in South Africa, and Suzuki is fast gaining favour. A recent analysis by Lightstone highlighted the five top-selling vehicle brands among women over the last 10 years. Toyota took the top position in 2023 after placing second in 2019, 2021, and 2022, and third between 2016 and 2018. Ford topped the list in 2017, but has since fallen to fourth place, while Suzuki is now in third position, having only entered the top five in 2022. Nissan currently places fifth among female buyers in South Africa. In the overall new vehicle market, men included, Suzuki now holds second place, behind Toyota but with a narrow lead over Volkswagen. The types of vehicles women are buying: 2015 to 2025. Image: Lightstone The Lightstone analysis also shows what vehicle types females prefer, and this is very much in line with the overall market as SUVs and crossovers take top spot with a share of over 50%. These high riders overtook hatchbacks as the most popular body type in 2021, with the latter now having a share of less than 30%. Sedans have also seen a steady decline over the past decade, overtaken even by double cab bakkies in the early 2020s. Double cabs still have a share of less than 10% among female buyers, however, as do compact bakkies and MPVs. Value also plays a key role in purchasing decisions, WesBank's marketing head Lebo Gaoaketse told Hot FM. 'Women, in particular, are looking for value: vehicles that fit their lifestyles, budgets, and expectations for safety and quality.' Furthermore, research carried by WeBuyCars shows that while men are more interested in power and prestige when buying a car, females tend to prioritise affordability and safety. "Women are more likely to choose hatchbacks and SUVs than men, which may indicate that they value practicality, space and safety when choosing a vehicle type," said Rikus Blomerus, chief marketing officer at WeBuyCars. More women are buying cars But regardless of brand and vehicle type preferences, a positive development is that a greater percentage of females are buying vehicles. An analysis of financing trends shows that females now account for 39% of financed car purchases, up from 32% a decade ago. Female buyers have also shown a strong preference for linked interest rate finance options, at 80% in 2025. The average price of a car financed by a woman in 2024 was R440,000, according to Lightstone, up from R250,000 a decade earlier. 'Women in South Africa are catching up to men in financed car purchases and already lead in homeownership, shifts which reflect their growing socio-economic independence,' Lightstone said.

Women lead the charge in homeownership and vehicle ownership in South Africa
In South Africa, women are increasingly asserting their financial independence and making significant strides in both homeownership and vehicle ownership Image: Freepik As South Africa celebrates Women's Month this August, fresh data reveals a compelling narrative of transformation in ownership dynamics. Women in South Africa are not only asserting their financial independence but are also increasingly becoming prominent figures in the realms of home and vehicle ownership. This shift underscores a newfound dominance in property investments that, until recently, were predominantly male domains, according to Lightstone Property's Hayley Ivins-Downes. 'We're seeing a clear and steady shift in ownership patterns as more South African women take on property purchases, reflecting both growing financial independence and confidence in property as a long-term investment. It's an encouraging sign of transformation in the real estate sector.' Property ownership over time 2014-2025 Image: Supplied Historically male-centric property ownership is showing a paradigm shift, as the latest figures indicate that women are now outpacing men in the housing market. The proportion of homes owned by women as sole buyers has risen sharply from 30% in 2014 to an impressive 39% by 2025. In contrast, the share of mixed couple ownership has declined from 39% to 30%. Notably, 'single female buyers' are defined as women who are the sole registered owners of the property irrespective of their marital or relationship status. This burgeoning ownership trend has far-reaching implications; properties owned exclusively by women or jointly with men now account for a staggering 69% of all ownership, while men's ownership remains fixed at 31%. Lightstone's analysis reveals that out of approximately 200,000 residential property transactions conducted by natural persons in the last year, a remarkable 140,000 involved sole buyers, with 75,000 of those transactions attributed to sole women buyers. Additionally, around 60,000 transactions were joint purchases where women partnered with male buyers. Average purchase price Image: Supplied The upward trajectory of women-only buyers is notable, particularly between July 2024 and June 2025, driven largely by a surge in low-value property transfers. This shift is further illustrated in the affordable property price ranges, where sole women buyers significantly outnumber their male counterparts, especially in the categories below R250,000, R250,000–R500,000, R500,000–R750,000, and R750,000–R1 million. Government-assisted housing programs also feature prominently in this trend, with 26% of transfers to women as exclusive owners being subsidised, compared to 21% for sole men buyers and 17% for joint male/female buyers. When these subsidised properties are set aside, it becomes evident that women buyers show a marked preference for secure living environments: 12% favoured Estate Freehold, 4% opted for Estate Sectional Schemes, and a substantial 37% chose Sectional Scheme properties. Just over 47% of single women buyers entered the Freehold market. Percentage of single women buyers by age Image: Supplied
