5 Best Selling Cars
1. Toyota Corolla - 634 298 units sold
The Corolla continues to dominate, albeit having lost 1.2 percent year-on-year worldwide.
2.Volkswagen Golf - 500 630
Volkswagen’s latest Golf has climbed global sales charts in recent years, having risen from seventh place in 2012, and is also the best seller in its segment in SA - where the performance versions, GTI and R, are particularly popular.
3.Ford F-Series - 478 384
Ford’s full-sized pick-up truck gets its global podium on account of its popularity in North America, where it has been the best selling vehicle for decades. Its smaller brother, the Ranger, is Ford’s bakkie contender in most of the rest of the world, and is the second best-selling one-tonner in SA.
4.Ford Focus - 367 479
Though still one of the world’s most popular cars, Ford’s Focus has lost some ground, with sales falling 16.4 percent compared to the first half of 2015. Its fortunes have improved in South Africa however, since the facelifted model was launched at a lower price than its predecessor.
5.Hyundai Elantra - 363 490
Hyundai’s Elantra is currently going through a model-changeover, with many overseas markets now receiving the more mature looking new-generation Elantra. The new sedan has been delayed in South Africa, however, due to rand weakness. (IOL)
