What's hot, what's not: Used car market trends in the Western Cape
There are several new entrants to the top 10 list, with the most notable addition being the Toyota Corolla Cross. Not featuring in 2021 (the locally built crossover was only introduced that year), it has reached sixth place in a short period, with 1,032 used examples sold in the Western Cape in 2024. This reflects its attractive package, with consumers drawn by the reasonable pricing, available hybrid drivetrains, practicality and appeal of the Toyota badge. Another similarly-sized crossover, the Volkswagen T-Cross, has also appeared on the list, in ninth position with 997 units sold. It has effectively replaced the Golf on the list, which has fallen out of favour with used car buyers in the Western Cape. The Golf, like the Ford Figo and EcoSport that were on the top 10 list in 2021, has since been discontinued (apart from GTI and R models),though the German brand has reintroduced regular models to the local line-up. As in Gauteng, the Nissan NP200, despite its discontinuation, has emerged as a popular choice on the used car market, reflecting a strong appetite for affordable, compact workhorses in a segment with fewer new options.
