Chery rolls out ‘Cherished' pre-owned car programme across SA
The pre-owned models come with the full backing of the Chinese carmaker and provide dealers with a selection of carefully inspected and high-quality pre-owned Chery SUVs, said Jay Jay Botes, GM for Chery SA.
He said all cars retain the remainder of the 10-year/one-million-kilometre engine warranty, a benefit exclusively available from Cherished dealers within the Chery dealer network. The engine warranty was initially available only to the first owner and was not transferable.
Botes said every vehicle undergoes a comprehensive inspection and all Cherished pre-owned vehicles receive the balance of the service plan, with a minimum of one-year/15,000km remaining. To qualify as a Cherished vehicle, all Chery models need to have been maintained within the Chery Dealer network.
Additionally, customers will be offered the chance to extend their service or maintenance plans, providing further peace of mind.
Chery returned to the SA market in 2021 after exiting in 2018. It has become the country's second-best-selling Chinese car brand behind GWM/Haval.

Local launch of new Jaecoo J5 is just around the corner
Jaecoo has announced that its new J5 will arrive in South Africa next month. Slotting beneath the J7 that made its local debut in 2024, this compact SUV stands out with a prominent radiator grille flowing seamlessly into a pair of slim headlamp clusters. Generous ground clearance and pronounced wheel arches underscore the vehicle's silhouette while the rear features an LED light bar between the tail lights. The Chinese carmaker confirmed the J5 will be offered in three trim levels — Vortex, Glacier and Inferno. Standard equipment across the range is expected to include a 13.2-inch touchscreen with integrated entertainment apps and smart navigation, wireless connectivity and intelligent climate control with an advanced filtration system. The range-topping Inferno will add more premium features, including advanced driver assistance systems. Jaecoo says safety has been prioritised across all models, with a suite of technologies designed to protect occupants and other road users. All J5 variants will be powered by a 1.5l four-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine producing 115kW and 230Nm, paired with an automatic transmission that drives the front wheels. The Jaecoo J5 is set to reach local dealerships in September, with pricing and final specifications to be confirmed closer to launch.
