Shanghai, China – April 2025 — Fresh from an unforgettable visit to the prestigious Shanghai International Auto Show 2025, DigiCars Group returns to South Africa not only inspired by the future of mobility, but proudly recognised as a global leader in automotive excellence.
Amid the electric buzz of innovation, where next-generation AI technology and trailblazing electric vehicles dominated the show floor, DigiCars stood out for its own contribution to progress—not in concept cars, but in real-world excellence. At the esteemed International Awards Ceremony held in Wuhu, China, the group claimed three major accolades, reaffirming its position among the world’s best automotive dealerships.
Celebrating Global Recognition
In a competitive field of top-tier international dealerships, DigiCars Group’s Gauteng-based network emerged triumphant. The group was honoured in three prestigious categories:
- 5-Star Outstanding Award – Chery Sandton
- Best Dealer Award – Chery Northcliff
- Sales Satisfaction Award – Omoda Jaecoo Sandton
“These awards aren’t just accolades, they represent the grit, passion, and relentless dedication of every individual across our dealerships,” said Azhar Abed, Franchise Director at DigiCars Group. “From Chery Sandton to Chery Northcliff and Omoda Jaecoo Sandton, our teams continue to deliver enhanced service, and it’s this pursuit of excellence that places us alongside the best dealers globally.”
A Global Showroom for the Future
For DigiCars, the Shanghai Auto Show was far more than a ceremonial gathering—it was a glimpse into the future. From electrified platforms and intelligent driving ecosystems to redefined user experiences, the show offered a firsthand look at how rapidly the automotive world is evolving. And DigiCars intends to be at the forefront of that evolution in South Africa.
“Being recognised on the international stage reinforces our mission to lead with purpose,” said Dawood Olgar, CEO of DigiCars Group. “It also reminds us to stay curious, keep learning, and never stop raising the standards—not just for our dealership, but for the South African vehicle industry as a whole.”
Fuelled by Purpose, Driven by People
While technology and innovation fuel the future, it is people—customers, teams, and leadership—who drive DigiCars forward. The group’s gratitude extends deeply to its loyal customer base and the team members who make every milestone possible.
“To our valued customers, thank you. Your loyalty drives us. And to our incredible teams, we see you,” said Olgar. “Your early mornings, late nights, and unwavering commitment have made this achievement possible.”
Looking Ahead: A New Chapter for South Africa
With eyes set firmly on the road ahead, DigiCars Group is poised to bring the groundbreaking innovations unveiled in Shanghai to South African shores. From dynamic EV offerings to cutting-edge technology partnerships, 2025 marks the beginning of a bold new chapter.
As the global spotlight continues to shine on DigiCars, one message rings clear: the future is electric, intelligent, and customer-driven—and DigiCars is ready to lead the charge.
