If you need a reliable, quality vehicle that is also pleasing to the eye, you need a Foton. The company has a wide range of vehicles, which ranges from pickup bakkies for farms to affordable trucks.

South Africa’s new-vehicle market has continued to grow in 2026. Against this backdrop, Foton recorded 3 226 vehicle sales during the first seven months of 2026, compared with 1 668 units during the same period in 2025. This represents year-on-year growth of 93,4%.

According to Gregory Snodgrass, National Sales Manager at Foton South Africa, this represents an important shift in how South Africans evaluate vehicles: “The South African customer has always been discerning, but we’re seeing buyers become increasingly informed and deliberate about where they spend their money.

“They’re comparing more than brands. They’re looking closely at what they receive for their investment, what a vehicle will cost to operate, whether there is proper after-sales support behind it and, particularly in the commercial market, whether that vehicle can genuinely contribute to the productivity of their business,” he says.

The growth in the market is supported by Foton South Africa’s national footprint of 65 dealerships. Foton’s parts division, after-sales infrastructure and investment in local assembly operations in Gqeberha are also expanding.
