Chinese vehicle brands face resale challenges in South Africa

Chinese automotive brands South Africa resale value Combined Motor Holdings vehicle market share

Chinese automotive brands are gaining significant market share in South Africa, rising from 14.8% to 20% of new vehicle sales. However, this growth has introduced challenges regarding vehicle resale values.

Combined Motor Holdings (CMH) reported concerns that the rapid influx of these brands makes it difficult to predict long-term model values. Some motorists face financial difficulties when attempting to trade in vehicles, as the dealer offers may fall below the outstanding bank finance, leaving owners with a debt gap.
