“Braaivleis, rugby, sunny skies and Chevrolet.” That’s how the jewel in the General Motors crown was introduced to South Africans back in the 1970s, and despite that famous absence from the market between 1986 and 2001, Chevy was and still is a beloved brand here in Mzansi.
New Chevrolet vehicles haven’t been sold here since 2017, but models like the ever-popular Aveo, spritely Spark, and all-terrain Trailblazer SS continue to be backed by the PSA Group (Peugeot, Citroen, Opel), meaning you can still enjoy these cars for years to come.
Vintage vehicle enthusiasts are also likely to find a Bel Air or two on the market, and everyone’s dad has a story with a straight-six Chevy truck!
