Daihatsu Terios
Daihatsu’s Terios never set registration records in South Africa, but it quietly built up a reputation among those who wanted real 4x4 hardware in a body that didn’t feel like you were piloting a delivery van. These days, it’s a rare find—nine active listings are all you’ll get, and fresh stock isn’t coming. Against the Suzuki Jimny and early Ford EcoSport, the Terios always felt a bit more civilised on tar, less bounce and clatter, though you’d only ever get a petrol engine and a manual ’box. Pricing now runs from R84,950 to R159,995, with the sweet spot hovering at R119,900—a decent deal, if you’re picky about condition and history. You’re mostly looking at models between 2002 and 2014, with average mileage sitting at 174,123 km. Not low, but hardly out of the ordinary given the age and the kind of use these SUVs attract. Seven of the nine listings are the standard Terios, covering the full price spread, while the 4x4-badged versions—arguably the ones you want—appear just twice, at R98,500 and R137,500. That badge isn’t just marketing fluff; it’s what the Terios should have been from the start. Joburg’s tight parking lots and the rising cost of unleaded make the Terios’ small size and sensible thirst appealing, and you get a driving position that doesn’t punish you for wanting a bit of off-road ability. If you pack smart and don’t mind hunting for a good one, it’s a left-field option worth considering.
Daihatsu
Daihatsu's presence in South Africa is almost ghostlike these days—neither properly extinct nor really in the game. You don’t just bump into a Daihatsu on the dealer floor; you go hunting for one, usually with a mission. There are only 11 used examples for sale, each priced from R82,500 to R159,995, and the R109,950 median says you’re shopping at the entry end of the market. These are honest, no-nonsense cars, bought for function over fashion. Anyone scanning Daihatsu listings is probably also eyeing a Suzuki Swift or an ageing Hyundai Getz. Nobody’s here for the badge; it’s the bottom line that matters. On paper at least, the Terios is holding down the fort, making up 9 of those 11 listings and spanning that full price range—from R84,950 to R159,995. It’s what the Terios should have been from the start: a straightforward, compact SUV with just enough ground clearance to handle potholes up to Kyalami’s infamous speed bumps, but without the headaches of expensive parts or premium fuel. The Sirion pops up twice at bargain-basement prices—R82,500 and R89,500—which makes it one of the most affordable used hatches you’ll find that’s still worth registering. All petrol, no diesels, no hybrids. The split is telling: South Africans kept the SUVs running, not the hatches. And while Suzuki keeps its model lineup fresh and the dealer network ticking, Daihatsu offers neither—because that’s the point. You’re not buying into a brand; you’re buying a tool that just keeps going.
