Honda CR-V
Honda's CR-V has always hovered in that sweet spot for South Africans who want more metal than a Tiguan but don't fancy paying Prado money. It's the sort of SUV you buy because you want space for the family, a couple of bikes, and a boot full of groceries after a Fourways run — without getting fleeced at the dealer. Right now, you're not getting a new CR-V, not unless you import it yourself. The local market's got just 8 active listings, all used, with prices running from R139,500 to R256,900. That spread tells you everything about the age game here: think 2012 to 2019 models, so you’re shopping across a real cross-section of Honda’s mid-2010s evolution. Mileage is no joke, either. On paper at least, 174,477 km is the average, so if you skip a proper inspection you’re asking for trouble. The 2.2 i-DTEC Elegance, starting at R139,500, is the diesel bargain, and if you do lots of Gauteng to Durban trips it’ll sip less than a RAV4 2.0 petrol — that matters for anyone counting running costs. Top of the heap sits the 2.0 Comfort CVT at R256,900, mostly thanks to newer build years and better kit. Where the CR-V still holds its ground against the X-Trail is inside: the cabin materials, rear legroom, and those fifth-gen touches like the panoramic sunroof actually feel worth the money, even now. With only used stock, patience is key, because it’s what the CR-V should have been from the start — and that’s the point.
Honda
Honda’s not trying to dazzle you with flash or lure you with badge envy. Instead, it’s carved out a space for buyers who care about honest value, reliability, and not spending half their life at the mechanic. Think of it as the thinking person’s alternative to a Toyota or Suzuki—just as dependable, less shouty about it. With 79 listings currently live, prices range widely from R69,500 to R509,900, but most stock settles in that R140k-to-R260k band where families and first-time buyers are actually shopping. Only 9 of those are new, which isn’t a surprise if you’ve tried to find a Honda dealership outside the big cities, but the used scene is alive because owners hang onto these cars for years before letting them go. On paper at least, the HR-V is the star here with 12 listings, including a handful that touch the R509,900 ceiling for the latest versions. The Jazz, though, is the real hero—versatile, affordable (from R86,500 to R258,800), and the sort of hatch you’d hand down instead of trade in. The Amaze sedan covers those who want a boot rather than a clever rear seat, with prices between R213,500 and R297,100. CR-V covers the “school run plus road trip” crowd, topping out at R256,900. If you’re looking for diesel, move along—petrol is king here. In a market crowded with rivals, Honda’s edge is simple: the cars last, and that matters. Owners don’t need convincing, and that’s the point.
