New vehicle sales have been on the rise for the past 18 months in a row, with a quarter of all these new vehicles sold being bakkies. And half of the bakkies sold were double cabs.
Bottom line is that one in eight cars sold today in South Africa is a double cab bakkie. South Africans are switching to bakkies when their budget allows and for good reason.
Our roads are bad. Bakkies offer space, convenience and perceived safety from hijackers. They are jam-packed with luxury and tech. And they drive more like cars now than ever before.
