Bajaj cars have become quite popular in south Africa for several reasons. The prices are quite low compared to prices of cars from the major auto powerhouses in Japan and Germany, and yet these cars compare quite well in design, durability and mileage that some find it hard to believe that they are made by a relatively new automaker from India.
Bajaj car prices are also low when the costs of maintenance are factored in; the parts also come in for far less than what others pay for other brands.
With so many different options, there is a wide range of prices for which one can get a Bajaj car.
How Much Is Bajaj Car Price In South Africa?
The Bajaj Qute is a small “car” model available in South Africa for a price of R94,800. That makes it probably the cheapest car in the country.
In fact, the car is listed for around R50,000, although that particular one has been used, and seen some mileage. Therefore, this car may go for an even lesser price when used.
For such a low price, it is important to know how much car one is getting, and why it is so cheap.
What Does This Car Have To Offer?
This is a very small car; comparable in size to a tuk-tuk. Other cars of a similar size are the Polo Vivo Hatch, a 2014 Ford Figo, and a 2014 Hyundai i20.
Looking up this car it seems that anyone who is interested in purchasing it should not be in need of so much interior space. It doesn’t seem ideal for anyone who is 6ft and above, as the car does not have much leg room.
Nevertheless, it is designed as a full car; it has four doors and four seats. The car does not have a traditional boot (trunk) but it has a luggage rack on top, making it good for moving goods as a normal four-seater car might do.
The car has a 4 stroke, single cylinder engine, making it as fuel economical as a motorbike.
This car is therefore targeted at those with small businesses or small families, and who do not require to move so much bulk around.
Students can also find this car great for them because it does not require so much to fuel it; plus, only having one cylinder means it does not burn as much petrol per mileage as other cars might do.
However, with one cylinder, the car does not produce as much power as other bigger cars, which means it is not ideal for those who have to move so much bulk around.
This car may not even be good for fat families or friends. Two obese people may not enjoy a ride together in this car.
This car is promoted as an intracity car; that means it is not designed for cross country travel; it is best used to shuttle between work/school and the home, in a city environment with paved roads. This is not an off road vehicle; taking into the out backs may result in some very sad stories.
Why Is The Car So Cheap?
It is an introduction into the car market; this is the first car made by the engineering company which is better known for its motorcycles and tuk-tuks. Therefore, an affordable car is a good way of getting into the market, and winning over some fans.
The engine is a lot smaller, and as such it is a lot cheaper to make. Compared to the regular sedan cars, this might only cost a fraction of the cost to make. This may influence the selling price of the car.
The target audience is students, young people, and small business owners. To really capture the hearts of these ones the car needs to be affordable.
The car is small, and even though cars do not generally sell by size, it is obvious that a little less input is put into the making of the car, compared to regular cars.
