Ngcebo explained to Briefly News that most first-time buyers focus on affordability rather than brand reputation, while repeat buyers tend to consider a manufacturer’s track record. She also noted the rapid rise of Chinese SUV brands in South Africa and offered practical advice for shoppers choosing their first vehicle. She said:

"First-time buyers don’t really care about brand reputation as long as they can afford that specific vehicle. Affordability is the main thing, while reputation matters more to people who’ve bought cars before."

Ngcebo added that Chinese brands are becoming increasingly popular, saying:

"Chinese manufacturers are taking over the industry. Most people are now buying Chinese crossover SUVs because they’re comfortable, fuel-efficient, and offer a full spec at an affordable price."

She closed with simple, grounded advice for new buyers. He said:

"Go for a vehicle that suits your budget, not what everyone else is buying; you’ll suffer alone. The luxury comes on your first or second upgrade."
