Hi Mabs

I am in the market for a small SUV for my young family. The wide range of brands available can be overwhelming. While my family has a long history with Toyota, and I’m considering the Toyota Urban Cruiser, I want to make sure I’m not missing out on other brands that offer great value for money.

Mabs answers:

Toyota has built a strong brand in South Africa over decades, making it the best-selling vehicle brand in the country. The compact SUV segment, which you are interested in, is very popular and growing rapidly.

The Toyota Urban Cruiser is a popular and reliable car. However, many other great competitors offer excellent value and are priced competitively. Before committing, consider checking out other brands like VW’s T-Cross, Kia Seltos, Hyundai Venue, and Opel Crossland. Additionally, Chinese brands offer a wide range of options and good value. Be sure to book a test drive at your local dealership to find the car that suits you best. All the very best with your future purchase.
