In terms of market share in the passenger vehicle segment, the South African arm of the Japanese carmaker walked away with 15.26% of the pie. Toyota and Volkswagen occupied first and second spots, respectively.

It's safe to say the brand is punching above its weight with a line-up of fuel-efficient city cars and compact SUVs that buyers feel offer value-for-money propositions.

The sales performance is largely down to the Swift's impressive tally of 1 926 units, claiming the title of South Africa's top-selling passenger car.

A breakdown of the sales illustrates the brand's strong offering with 340 Balenos, 569 S-Presso models, and 657 new Vitara Brezzas registered. Lastly, 397 Jimny models were sold.
