Rising interest rates, inflation and economic contraction drove affordability challenges, resulting in a 6% decline in new vehicle sales. Consumers increasingly turned to used vehicles, reflected in a 3.7% drop in financed vehicle sales and a shift toward lower-cost options.

Despite financial pressures, average loan values rose to R400,000, highlighting the strain on buyers. However, innovative financing options, such as subscription-based models and pay-as-you-drive services gained traction, providing more flexible solutions to meet consumer demand amidst ongoing economic challenges.
