Is vehicle leasing a viable option for private buyers in South Africa?
By: Graham Eagle Photos: Freepik

H
istorically, there has been a close
correlation between South Africa’s
economic growth and vehicle sales,
with years of low GDP growth explaining
the flat vehicle market in the time leading
up to the COVID-19 pandemic. Vehicle sales
in 2023, while showing a slight year-on-
year improvement, have yet to reach pre-
pandemic levels. Myriad factors, such as low
consumer confidence, tightening household
budgets owing to higher interest rates, fuel-
price increases, a weaker currency and load-
shedding-related expenses, have hindered
market growth.
In fact, the overall market performance
would undoubtedly have been significantly
worse were it not for two important factors:
the emergence of a strong buy-down trend
and the fact that vehicle-finance service
providers have introduced numerous
innovative financing options developed
to curtail monthly motoring expenses.
The buy-down trend has seen a steady
decline in the sales of more expensive vehicles
as many motorists opt for lower-priced value-
for-money alternatives. It’s no coincidence
that India has grown to become SA’s biggest
source of imported vehicles, and the recent
rapid growth of Chinese vehicles in the market
has as much to do with good pricing as it
does with their improved styling, quality and
standard specification.
For many, being able to afford monthly
repayments has become more important than
the actual price of the vehicle. Traditional
vehicle-financing products have been adapted
and new products introduced, allowing dealers
to structure payments to meet the customer’s
monthly budgets. Instalment sale remains the
most common form of financing but typical
contract periods are now closer to the 72-
month maximum, increasing the amount
of total interest paid but reducing monthly
repayments. In addition, many contracts
now include a final balloon- or residual-value
payment, which reduces the financed amount
and hence the monthly repayments. However,

C V T M E T A L B E LT transmission solution among many other
brands from the Far East, including Honda,

Some of the reasons for the broadly negative

‘rubber-band effect’ that it has on straight-

drone associated with hard acceleration.
So, why does it remain so popular?

Compactness: These units generally occupy
less space within a drivetrain setup than other
transmission solutions, optimising packaging
and often saving weight.
Fewer moving parts: In terms of its inner
workings, a CVT is less complex than a
standard gearbox, ultimately saving on
costs in the production process.
Keep it simple: Because the internal
combustion engine can run at a fixed speed,
it can be tuned to work efficiently only in a
narrow operating range. This negates the need
for technologies such as variable valve timing
and variable intake runner length, as it is not
necessary to supply an optimised torque curve
across the entire engine-speed range. This
does come into play once ‘artificial gears’ are
introduced, though.
Efficiency: Although a CVT is less efficient
in transferring power than a manual trans-
mission owing to belt slippage and heat
generation, the engine runs at optimal speed
at all times, usually around peak torque for
efficiency and peak power for performance.
This can swing overall efficiency in the favour
of a CVT.
Smooth driveability: While many modern
dual-clutch transmissions offer near-
seamless downshifts, none can replicate
the slick workings of a CVT.
C V T M E T A L B E LT
CONS OF A CVT
Slippage: There will inevitably be some
percentage of slip between the belt and the
pulley, resulting in heat generation and a
loss of efficiency.
Driving experience: It depends heavily on
the calibration of the CVT, but the drone and
absence of actual gear shifts, up or down, can
be seen as detrimental to enthusiastic driving.
