Why More Small Businesses Are Buying Vans or SUVs Instead of Bakkies

Savvy business owners know the secret to success: reinvest where it matters. Whether it’s upgrading your tools, improving your workspace, or investing in mobility, every smart move counts in this economy.

Lately, more and more small businesses are choosing Vans and SUVs instead of traditional bakkies. And the reason is simple, modern vehicles are no longer just for personal use. They’ve evolved into mobile business hubs that combine comfort, performance, and practicality.

Let’s explore why this shift makes perfect sense for today’s go-getters.

1. Affordability Meets Functionality

When you’re running a business, every rand counts. That’s why vehicles like the Chery TIGGO 4 Pro and TIGGO 4 Pro Panel Van are winning over business owners.

Packed with advanced features and stylish design at an accessible price point, they offer incredible value without compromise. You get the versatility and reliability your business needs, while keeping running costs lower than most bakkies.

2. Comfort You Can Feel, Technology You Can Trust

Who says a business vehicle has to feel basic? The TIGGO 4 Pro Panel Van redefines the driving experience with premium touches that make every trip feel first-class. Think plush fabric seats, a 10.25-inch multimedia touch display, 3.5-inch colour TFT cluster, and Bluetooth handsfree connectivity, all working together to keep you informed, connected, and comfortable. It’s designed to be more than just transport, it’s your office on wheels.

3. Built for Performance and Possibility

Don’t let the stylish looks fool you, this van means business. The 1.5L engine offers 108 kW of power and 210 Nm of torque, giving you the confidence to move your business forward effortlessly. And with a payload capacity of 360 kg, the TIGGO 4 Pro Panel Van carries more than just good looks, it carries your goals, goods, and growth potential. Available in both 6-speed manual and CVT options, it’s built to move with your business, however you work.

4. Space to Grow

Every business has different needs. Whether you’re delivering products, ferrying staff, or managing mobile operations, Chery has you covered. Need space for stock or tools? Go with the TIGGO 4 Pro Panel Van. Need room for your growing team? The 7-seater TIGGO 8 Pro range delivers comfort, luxury, and practicality in one standout package. Whatever your business looks like, there’s a Chery that fits.

5. Professionalism That Drives Results

First impressions matter, and showing up in a stylish, modern vehicle makes a powerful statement. A dedicated business car or SUV instantly adds credibility and professionalism, showing clients that you’re serious about what you do. It’s a small change that can have a big impact on how your brand is perceived.

6. Smart Finance and Tax Perks

Owning a business vehicle isn’t just about convenience, it’s also a smart financial move. Businesses can explore tailored vehicle finance options, making ownership more attainable, even for small enterprises. Plus, parts of your running costs, from fuel to maintenance, may be tax-deductible, helping your investment work harder for you.
