Chery South Africa continues its impressive growth trajectory, making significant inroads into the country’s car rental market as demand from fleet operators surges. With its national passenger vehicle market share recently reaching 6.2%, the automaker is fast becoming a preferred choice for mobility providers across the country.
In a clear sign of its strengthening presence in the fleet and rental segment, Chery has delivered 100 units of the popular Tiggo 4 Pro to First Car Rental, one of South Africa’s leading car hire companies. The official handover took place on 26 May at First Car Rental’s Johannesburg depot, attended by members of Chery’s dedicated Fleet Department and depot management representatives.
This latest fleet expansion underscores the Tiggo 4 Pro’s rising popularity among South African motorists and fleet buyers alike. Known for its balance of value, technology, and safety, the SUV continues to be one of the country’s top-selling models in its segment — a fact not lost on fleet managers seeking reliable, cost-effective mobility solutions.
“We’re proud to see more rental companies choosing Chery, not only for our vehicle’s value and safety, but also for the professionalism and responsiveness of our fleet team,” says Siphiwe Nkutha, National Fleet Sales Manager for Chery South Africa. “We thank First Car Rental for their trust and look forward to supporting their continued success with dependable vehicles and dedicated aftersales service.”
The delivery marks a milestone in the growing relationship between Chery and First Car Rental — and reflects the brand’s broader commitment to delivering tailored fleet solutions. Chery’s Fleet Department has been instrumental in building strategic partnerships with corporate clients, government departments, and organisers of major events such as SA Auto Week, the BRICS Summit, and the G20 Foreign Ministers Meeting.
Offering more than just vehicles, Chery’s Fleet Department provides hands-on support and customisable mobility solutions to ensure its partners receive value beyond the showroom floor.
