Chinese car giants power into Botswana

Available data shows that consumers consider price as the main determining factor when buying a car and Chinese models have, over the years, grown better at also integrating competitive pricing with advanced technology and comfort.

Local consumers are shifting their car preference to Chinese models such as Omoda, Haval, and Jetour, which are increasing their sales to the local market as first-hand vehicle sales. Local consumers seeking comfort and engine performance have for many years preferred German makes, whilst those seeking durability leaned to Toyota.
