New vehicle sales totalled 54,896 units last month, according to Naamsa, up from the 48,783 units recorded in November 2024, albeit marginally down on the decade high of 55,956 units registered in October.

Passenger car sales totalled 39,158 units in November, representing an 11.0% increase over the same month last year. Meanwhile, light commercial vehicles and bakkies grew at an even faster rate of 20.5%, totalling 10,827 units. The larger commercials were a mixed bag, however, with medium commercial vehicles recording a 0.6% loss and the heavies gaining 1.3%.
