No, real world statistics disproves the anti Chinese propaganda campaign which spread anecdotes and outright fabrications simply from indoctrinated bigotry.
Its irrelevant in south Africa what chassis a bakkie is built on since like 4x4 most yuppies never go off road and most bakkies only carry the local shopping from fruit & veg.
I do not think the santa cruz (which i love) is really geared to take isuzu and toyota bakkie people its, in my mind more for the lifestile person and maybe weekend diyer. maybe the mountain biker or the surfer or the dude that builds and paints over the weekend.
hyundai is actually exporting that waste of space that is the Santa Cruz😂.its expensive and hardly has a tray,the Saveiro is much better than this as a bakkie. im dissapointed that GWM didnt give it its proper name King Kong Cannon but at least its an option that people have that cant get their hands on a F150. so LDV is moving further west, interesting 🤔.
But much better value for money. The normal run of the mill range available here are hideously expensive, and are not your ideal workhorses. I'll buy a Mahindra over any of them, because I can do work with it, the German SUV in the garage is for recreation and holidays.
@plaxci I'm a diesel mechanic and have seen what I've seen. The Chinese vehicles look all solid and good when they're new, but they just don't last. They're quite quick to start rusting at the coast, and the durability over time just isn't there. Gwm and Hyundai have been in South Africa for a long time, and Hyundai/Kia is not on par with the Japanese. Ldv is just another knock-off brand.

1:30 by far the best moment of the video! ;-)
Thanks for the summary.
That GWM P500 will have a lot of road presence!
Stuck on the side ?😂
That hyundai will definitely sell
Dave is too cool for his job
Is the Peugeot Landtrek not based on the or a rebadged LDV bakkie?
They're much cheaper than the price/s shown, but still haven't sold much.
No bakkie can be taken seriously if it does not have a single cab option.
DAVE THE BAKKIE GUY!
That has a nice ring to it. Partners Approved.
LDV T60 is based on MG Extender .

Why no half ton pickups?
I see the LDV selling, it is priced very well.
Like this comment if you think its time for a haircut.
I don’t need a haircut yet
1000 likes on Dave's comment and he will shave his head!
Let's go with new hairstyle. 😊
As John Cadogan would put it: “None of those bakkies will give me a teepee in my pants.”
When BYD Shark coming to SA?
Any news about the launch of the new Toyota Hilux with the new platform, new engines and new technology.

The majority of South African bakkie owners use their bakkies.
I grew up in rural Limpopo, you basically go off everytime you drive
Come on man. Where is the Toyota Hilux champ from Indonesia?
I wonder how I missed this one

Almont all Chinese vehicle brands are knock offs of established brands.
But much better value for money. The normal run of the mill range available here are hideously expensive, and are not your ideal workhorses. I'll buy a Mahindra over any of them, because I can do work with it, the German SUV in the garage is for recreation and holidays.
Sounds like you live in the past about 20 years ago.
All 3 are rubbish 👎🏻
They haven't even arrived on sa roads yet (except the LDV). Are you brand loyal to the current offerings?
