Toyota Fortuner
Fortuner buyers aren’t after flash—they want a seven-seater that’ll survive potholes on the N3 and the odd Sani Pass detour. That’s why it still sits at the top with the Everest, MU-X and Pajero Sport nipping at its heels. The numbers don’t lie: every one of the 104 listings is used, which shows Toyota’s holding back new stock, probably waiting for a refresh. Expect anything from R199,995 for a high-miler 3.0 D-4D to R779,900 for a nearly-new 2.8 GD-6, but the real volume sits bang in the middle around R445,000. That’s where you’ll find the best balance—enough kit, not so many years, and not yet thrashed by a third owner. On paper at least, the 2.8 GD-6 Raider auto is the bread-and-butter—nearly a quarter of all listings are some flavour of it, usually priced between R399,500 and R699,900. The 2.4 GD-6 shadows it, running R393,900 to R676,900, so you do have options if you pack smart and don’t need all the torque. The older 3.0 D-4D is tempting at under R350k, but with average mileages of 138,321 km, you’d better check every stamp in that service book. What keeps the Fortuner on top is the GD-6’s bulletproof reputation and a ladder-frame that laughs off bad farm roads—something the Everest’s monocoque just can’t match. When tar turns to track, the Fortuner just gets on with it.
Toyota
Toyota’s reputation for reliability isn’t some marketing line – it’s built into the South African car-buying psyche. You’ll find families who’ve treated their old Corolla like an heirloom, passing it down because it just keeps going. That trust means Toyota can straddle entry-level and premium segments in a way that Ford and Volkswagen only dream about. With 559 active listings ranging from R59,995 to R1,688,888, there’s genuinely something for every buyer, whether you’re a first-time owner on a tight budget or a contractor needing a tough-as-nails bakkie. The fact that nearly all of these are used isn’t a red flag – it proves Toyota’s grip on resale value, with owners sticking to the brand and buyers circling back when it’s time to upgrade. You see it clearest with the Hilux. There are 115 on the market, going from R89,950 all the way to R869,900, covering everything from battered farm workhorses to plush double-cabs with every box ticked. Fortuner comes in close with 104 listings, mostly between R200k and R780k, taking aim at the Ford Everest and matching it shot-for-shot in both price and status. Corolla Cross runs from R289,900 to R504,900, serving urban families who want SUV attitude without G-Wagon pretensions, while Starlet and Corolla Quest hold the sub-R300k fort for pragmatic commuters. Hybrids are here if you want them, but petrol and diesel still rule the classifieds. Toyota isn’t just selling cars – it’s selling peace of mind, and in this market, that matters more than any badge or brochure stat.
