New Renault Boreal, a potentially affordable family-sized SUV, is on the radar for South Africa
Renault has revealed a brand new SUV product called the Boreal, and it will be sold in emerging markets outside of Europe.
South Africa is also on the radar for the new product, with the French brand's local representative confirming to IOL that the newcomer is under consideration for late 2026 or early 2027.
Based on the Dacia Bigster, Renault Boreal is larger than the Duster, but its overall length of 4,560mm makes it marginally smaller than established C-segment SUVs such as the Toyota Rav4.
Aimed at emerging markets and set to be built in Brazil and Turkey, the Boreal is likely to be more affordable than similarly-sized rivals. However, it is still too early to speculate on its pricing in markets like South Africa.

South Africa's 20 best-selling SUVs in the first half of 2025: Chinese and Indian models gain ground
Chery Tiggo 4 Pro The Chery Tiggo 4 Pro is South Africa's top selling Chinese vehicle, and second overall in the SUV rankings. Image: Supplied More than half of all passenger vehicles sold in South Africa are SUVs or crossovers, and their popularity continues to grow as buyers gradually part with their trusty hatchbacks and sedans. In 2024, SUVs accounted for almost 52% of the passenger vehicle market, up from 45.2% in 2021, the year in which these high-riders overtook hatchbacks as the most popular body type. But what are the most popular SUV models in South Africa? We strung together the Naamsa numbers from the first half of 2025, and some interesting trends became apparent - with Chinese and Indian-built models dominating the scene.

However, the Prospecton-built Toyota Corolla Cross emerged as South Africa's most popular SUV product by a healthy margin, with a monthly average of 1,596 units in the first half of 2025. The Cross received a facelift in early 2025, and its popularity continues to grow, with an impressive volume of 2,132 units recorded in June. It is one of just two locally produced SUVs in the top 20, the other being its Fortuner sibling. The Toyota Corolla Cross is the country's top-selling SUV. Image: Supplied China has two strong contenders, with the Chery Tiggo 4 Pro and Haval Jolion taking the second and fourth spots for the first half of 2025, with respective average monthly volumes of 1,216 and 1,064 units. Suzuki's Indian-built Fronx was the third best-selling SUV product in the first half, outselling its Toyota Starlet Cross sibling with a monthly average of 1,077 versus 865. The Omoda C5 has gained significant traction since 2024, as has India's Mahindra 3XO, which received a significant upgrade last year. Interestingly, only one European-built SUV made the top 20, with the Volkswagen T-Cross taking 12th place with a monthly volume of 520. Manufacturers losing ground to importers The crux of that matter is that importers are gaining traction in South Africa. Overall new light vehicle sales for the first six months of 2025 (all segments) are 13.6% ahead of the same period in 2024, according to Naamsa. However, while imports increased by 25.6%, with independent importers seeing a 33.4% rise, the local manufacturers saw their sales drop by 14% year to date. Chief executives such as Toyota's Andrew Kirby speak of a slow but steady deindustrialisation of the South African motor industry, and this is particularly evident when it comes to South Africa's top-selling vehicle type, the SUV. That being said, local manufacturers have come to rely on export contracts for vehicles such as the Ford Ranger, Toyota Hilux, Volkswagen Polo, BMW X3 and Mercedes-Benz C-Class. IOL Motoring

New R50 million tidal pool planned for Hout Bay Beach
A brand new tidal pool project at Hout Bay Beach has been approved, with the first step reportedly set to begin soon. According to IOL , the project, led by Sandy Daniel and the Feel Good Initiative (FGI), aims to create a safe, inclusive, and environmentally sensitive swimming space. It is intended to benefit underserved communities such as Imizamo Yethu and Hangberg, who have limited access to secure recreational coastal facilities. Other goals for the tidal pool project include improving ocean safety, supporting marine education, boosting eco-tourism, and ensuring minimal environmental impact. The design will also blend with the natural shoreline and replace an ageing revetment. The tidal pool is estimated to cost about R50 million. FGI is preparing a sponsorship prospectus to secure funding. 'This is a major community project we are working on through The Feel Good Initiative. The first phase of the project involves appointing a qualified Environmental Assessment Practitioner (EAP), and we are in the process of securing the necessary funding to move this stage forward.' Daniel said, as per IOL . The proposed tidal pool site also lies within a Marine Protected Area, and FGI stressed its commitment to protecting sensitive ecosystems by incorporating natural rock formations, consulting marine biologists, and ensuring ongoing environmental monitoring.

Selling repossessed homes for less: A human rights violation that demands reform
Experts say that the sale of repossessed houses at significantly reduced prices is not only unfair but also a violation of human rights. Image: IOL The sale of repossessed houses at knockdown prices is unfair, unconstitutional, and a human rights and dignity issue, as it leaves financially distressed individuals with huge debts, when they have already lost their homes, experts say. Professor William Gumede, a governance expert from Wits University, said ordinary people are doubly punished; first, they lose their houses to the banks, and somebody else picks it up for very little, and then the distressed individuals still have to pay the original amount. 'This is unfair, no matter how you look at it. It harms the country's economy, adds a burden to the social security services, because now there are financially distressed people who are paying their home loan debts, but are homeless together with their family members, and dependent on the government's social grants to survive, because they can't afford basic needs. We have to find a system that doesn't do that. 'Housing is important. It is the heart of a market economy; South Africa is a market economy. Housing is an asset, a property, and we must, at all times, protect people's rights to hold on to their housing, even if they are distressed, if we want to grow and stabilise the economy,' Gumede said. He added that there is a need to strengthen regulations to make it impossible for the banks to sell repossessed houses for far below the market price to the detriment of distressed individuals. Currently, many banks are under criticism from ordinary people and populist politicians, he said. 'It will be good for banks to self-regulate by declaring together that a house will always be sold at the commercial price. If it's forced to auction, a minimum price must be set to such an extent that the debt will be cleared. If there are some funds left, they must be returned to the distressed owner. 'If the banks change the system themselves, it will mean increased reputation, increased trust among ordinary citizens and the black community, because the majority of people who lose their houses are black, which creates the impression that banks are racist towards black people.,' Gumede said. He added that if the banks don't self-regulate, the government will have to step in and make some rules and regulations. People who have paid at least 50% of the bond amount should not lose their houses, Gumede said. Gumede said even Rule 46A of the Uniform Rules of Court in South Africa, which regulates the process of executing judgments against a debtor's primary residence, is flawed because financially distressed ordinary citizens are not in the right position to deal with court issues, because financial distress comes with a lot of psychological or mental health issues.

Advertisement Next Stay Close ✕ Four major banks, FNB, Absa, Standard Bank, and Nedbank, said that the repossession of houses is treated as an 'absolute' last resort. that is only pursued after all alternative solutions have been exhausted. They also stated that they believe in responsible lending in line with the necessary credit laws and the bank's internal processes, including doing everything possible to prevent a client from losing their home. The banks encouraged customers experiencing difficulties in meeting their financial obligations to contact the bank as soon as possible to explore solutions. The banks highlighted that the reserve price at a sale in execution is not set by the banks, but it is determined through an independent legal process overseen by a presiding judge. Nondumiso Ncapai, managing executive of Absa Home Loans, said Absa makes every reasonable effort to assist its distressed customers in retaining their homes and offers solutions, from debt restructuring to a private sale. 'In the unfortunate event that a sale in execution is unavoidable, the sale process is regulated by legislation and the Rules of Court, all of which is designed to ensure that a fair reserve price is set by requiring that a Court oversee and adjudicate the process from beginning to end. Whenever there is a surplus from such a sale (or a property that Absa has bought in), this is always refunded to the customer,' Ncapai said. Nedbank said it is committed to finding amicable solutions to avoid a sale in execution of a property. 'Nedbank understands the impact of foreclosure and sales in execution on customers and their families, and we regard sale in execution as a last resort. We have several options available to assist customers who are experiencing financial difficulties. These options include a rehabilitation strategy that offers clients the option of a home loan debt relief that assists them to bring their debt up to date, or a Nedbank-assisted sale, which helps clients to sell their distressed property. Our foreclosure process adheres to the National Credit Act, and our clients are kept abreast of the court proceedings throughout,' Nedbank said. Ron Derby, Standard Bank's public relations lead, said their priority is to keep customers in their homes, and they have a variety of debt solutions to assist clients experiencing financial distress. 'Clients have had the use and enjoyment of the monies lent to them by the bank and therefore remain liable to repay it. The bank is very amenable to assisting with payment arrangements in this regard. It must be noted that Standard Bank complies with the prevailing laws of the country and trusts in the fairness of the South African justice system,' Derby said. Mfundo Mabaso, Product Head of FNB Home and Structured Lending, stated that the bank provides a recommendation to the courts by proposing a reserve price to ensure that a home is not sold below a reasonable price. 'We understand the sensitivities and emotive nature of selling a property when one is under financial distress. Properties sold via a Sale in Execution (SIE) process, which is overseen by the courts, may, unfortunately, not achieve full market value. This is due to factors outside the bank's control, such as the property valuation, occupation status, such as illegal occupants, outstanding municipal rates and taxes, and levies if applicable,' Mabaso said. Mabaso said, 'Banks, including FNB, do not have the power to manipulate this process.' Harold Ngalawa, Professor of Economics, and chairperson of Macroeconomics Research Unit in the School of Commerce at the University of KwaZulu-Natal, said that in an open auction, the market price should settle the debt, and the person whose home has been auctioned should be able to move forward debt-free. 'If this is done in an open auction, the property should be sold at a price that at least covers the balance owed, unless the bank did not do due diligence when giving out the loan, or the property has deteriorated significantly, or property prices have not kept pace with interest rate adjustments. If a distressed individual (mortgage defaulter) whose home has been auctioned by the bank still has to pay some outstanding debt for a home they no longer own, then the process is flawed,' Ngalawa said. Nikita Stander, deputy head and senior attorney at the Stellenbosch University Law Clinic, said Rule 46A was introduced to address serious injustices in the sale of primary residences, where homes were once sold for as little as R10. She said the rule now ensures that only a judge, never a registrar, may declare a home executable, and it imposes strict procedural requirements on creditors. And debtors must be served personally and are given the opportunity to present their financial position. 'To better uphold the dignity of financially distressed individuals and families, South Africa's legal framework for repossessions should ideally involve a strengthened judicial discretion, ensuring proportionality, and mandatory reserve prices. 'Section 26 of the Constitution protects against arbitrary eviction, and when homes are sold significantly below market value, often through inaccessible or poorly publicised auctions, it places families at risk of homelessness and undermines the core protections afforded by the Constitution,' Stander said. Major banks are facing a R60 billion class action lawsuit over the sale of repossessed houses.
