Toyota Hilux bestselling bakkie for February

The ever so popular Toyota Hilux with its robust looks, advance safety and security features and advanced engines continues its run at the top of the sales charts in the country for the month of February.
In an article by Motoring24, Toyota sold 3 504 Hilux bakkies, eclipsing that of the second-placed Ford Ranger by nearly a thousand units. The Ranger managed a tally of 2 578 units.
There are many features on the Hilux that keeps it on top of the favourite list. The new interior design of the Hilux delivers the toughness and functionality needed in a working vehicle, as well as the convenience and refinement expected in a private use vehicle.
There’s no skimping on comfort or style – advanced form meets function in a strong yet elegant combination.
The Hilux is fully loaded with innovations to take on any terrain with ease. Active Traction Control and the differential lock keep you secure on any surface, Downhill Assist Control (DAC) gets you down slopes smoothly, Hill Assist Control (HAC) gets you up inclines without rolling back and Trailer Sway Control (TSC) stabilises the connection between your Hilux and a trailer.
The Nissan NP200, the only remaining half-tonne bakkie in South Africa, narrowly missed out on a monumental sales figure of two thousand units; the little Nissan managed to secure the signatures of 1999 new owners to grab third place in February.
Behind it the Isuzu D-Max showed strong pace as it sold off 1 186 units last month, followed by the Nissan NP300/Hardbody on 922 units.
In sixth place the Volkswagen Amarok sold 495 units, followed by the ever-impressing Mahindra Scorpio Pik-up (226 units).
The Toyota Land Cruiser Pick-up managed to secure a sales figure of 224 units, while the GWM Steed managed 145 units in ninth place. The Nissan Navara rounds off the top ten with 111 units.
