Every Car Launching in South Africa in 2025: The Complete Guide

South Africa''s automotive market in 2025 is set for a wave of significant new model introductions. From long-awaited replacements to entirely new entrants, here''s what''s coming. **Toyota Land Cruiser 300 Series** The 300 Series LC has been a global success since its 2022 launch. SA availability has been constrained by the same global supply issues that affected many vehicles. Toyota SA expects meaningful stock levels from mid-2025, with pricing expected around R2,000,000 for flagship variants. **BMW 5 Series G60** The new 5 Series introduces BMW''s full electric i5 alongside conventional powertrains. The i5 M60 produces 442kW and represents the most powerful production 5 Series ever made. South Africa will receive both conventional and i5 variants from Q1 2025. **Ford Puma** Ford''s small crossover arrives in South Africa in 2025, filling the gap between the Fiesta (discontinued) and EcoSport (also discontinued) with a more modern, EcoBoost-powered crossover with a "MegaBox" underbody storage system. **Kia EV6 GT** The performance-oriented EV6 GT with 430kW and a 3.5-second 0-100km/h time arrives in South Africa in 2025. At an expected R1,300,000+, it targets the Porsche Taycan on performance while offering superior EV range. **Mercedes-Benz GLC** The new GLC follows the hugely successful W206 C-Class''s design language into the compact SUV segment. The plug-in hybrid GLC 300 e with 50km electric range is expected to prove particularly popular in South Africa. **Volkswagen iD.4 (significant price reduction)** VW South Africa has confirmed that forthcoming iD.4 stock will carry significantly lower pricing than initial units — potentially breaking the R800,000 barrier for the first time. This would dramatically improve the iD.4''s competitive position versus BYD.
