DURBAN – A significant new player has officially arrived on the South African automotive scene.
On Monday 6 October the first vessel carrying Changan motor vehicles successfully docked at the Port of Durban, marking a major milestone for Jameel Motors South Africa and the Changan brand. This inaugural shipment signals the start of what is poised to be an exciting national launch later in the month.
The arrival of these vehicles is more than just a logistical exercise; it represents Changan’s commitment to establishing a long-term presence in the country, built on the foundations of trust, innovation, and customer-focused service.
VEHICLE LINEUP
The first vessel delivered a compelling mix of models to South African shores, including the Alsvin, CS75 Pro, and Deepal S07. Each vehicle is expected to showcase Changan’s global reputation for precision engineering, advanced technology, and superior quality – ready to meet the diverse needs of South African motorists.
This initial shipment sets the stage for a steady rollout of Changan’s varied product range across the country. Motorists can also look forward to an expanding catalogue, with new and exciting models already planned to join the lineup in 2026.
