Toyota is the most popular automotive brand in South Africa, with solid sales, fantastic residual values and a reputation for reliability. One of the brand's pillars is also its extensive dealership network, but just how many are there locally?
With 12 440 unit sales in October 2023 alone, Toyota South Africa’s market share was more than both Volkswagen (6 595 units) and Suzuki (4 480 units) combined, in second and third position. With this sort of market dominance comes substantial resale value, demand for new and pre-owned models and, indeed, a demand for aftersales service. With this in mind, an extensive dealership network is required. Toyota has an incredible 203 dealerships throughout the country!
Some context
Some 257 municipalities in SA are divided among eight metropolitan, 44 districts and 205 municipalities, meaning that Toyota has nearly as many Toyota dealerships as there are populated areas! By comparison, the second most popular brand, Volkswagen, has 109 dealerships, which includes Botswana and Namibia.
