A NAAMSA spokesman said passenger car sales grew 17.3% to 31 440 units, while light commercial vehicles (LCVs) were marginally down (1.8% over June 2010) to 10 998.
Total Ford Motor Company of Southern Africa (FMCSA) sales grew 31.2% compared to the same period last year with Figo selling 1 474 units to make it the third highest-selling car in June.
Good sales were also posted by Fiesta (498) and Bantam (838) to push FMCSA growth of 31.2% way ahead of the market.
"Half-year sales have posted a positive result of 15.7% growth, meaning the country's new vehicle market looks set to approach the 500 000 unit mark this year. Lots of product activity and increase in supply, boosted by the Johannesburg International Motor Show in October should accelerate and meet demand for new vehicles in the second half," said Stoneley.
