Frequently asked questions
The more detail you provide, the more useful our response will be. Helpful details include: the brand or model you are considering, your powertrain preference (electric, hybrid, petrol, diesel, or bakkie), your approximate budget in ZAR, your location in South Africa (Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban, Pretoria, Gqeberha, or other), and whether you are interested in an officially sold brand or a grey-market import. If you are unsure about any of these, tell us what you do know and we can work from there.
We aim to respond to all enquiries within 1-2 business days. If your enquiry is time-sensitive, please mention that in your message.
We cover Chinese car brands across all powertrains — including officially present South African brands (Haval, GWM, Chery, MG, BYD) and brands available through grey-market import (Geely, NIO, XPeng, GAC Aion, Changan, and others). Include the brand or model in your message and we will provide South Africa-specific information.
Yes — comparing models across brands is one of the most common enquiries we handle. Tell us your priorities (range, budget, vehicle type, powertrain, intended use) and we can help you understand the options that best match your requirements in South Africa.
We provide guidance on the grey-market import process and can help you understand the key steps, costs, and considerations involved in bringing a Chinese car into South Africa — including SARS customs duties, NRCS Letter of Authority requirements, and Port of Durban procedures. For specific current duty rates and regulatory requirements, we direct you to SARS (sars.gov.za) and NRCS (nrcs.org.za) for verified information.
Yes. If you are evaluating Chinese cars for business use — staff transportation, commercial fleet, or bakkie fleet for construction or agricultural operations — include your fleet size, usage requirements, and any vehicle preferences in your enquiry. We can help you understand the relevant options and total cost of ownership considerations for South African fleet applications.
Official South African dealers for Haval, GWM, Chery, MG, and BYD sell RHD-specification vehicles already homologated for South Africa, with local warranty and dealer servicing. Grey-market import provides access to brands without official SA presence (Geely, NIO, XPeng, GAC Aion, Changan) but requires SARS customs clearance, NRCS Letter of Authority, and independent parts and service arrangements. Contact us for guidance on which route suits your specific requirements.
A member of our team will review your message and respond with relevant vehicle information, comparisons, SARS duty guidance, NRCS LOA information, or next steps — based on what you have asked. We aim to give you useful, specific South Africa-relevant answers rather than generic responses.
